Now when I click share the app closes. This needs to be fixed. ### 4/5 — Appreciate it *2020-10-21, version 1.8* I love having the songs from yesteryear at my immediate access. The lyrics to the first verses are ingrained in my mind from childhood. But now I am enjoying the sentiments of the other verses, now that I have more life experience (now that I'm almost old.) 😀 ### 4/5 — Needs Audio Accompaniment *2020-04-26, version 1.8* For a paid app this should have audio musical accompaniment like some other free sites. Also, some of the Responsive Readings are missing. Apart from these omissions, I like it. ### 3/5 — It’s ok. Needs improvements *2020-03-23, version 1.8* Having used this for some time now I think it’s just ok. The free hymnal app has some better features as far as usability. For example, often we may want to share the lyrics of the song with others, you cannot copy or even share, as well if you’re using the app, the search function is not that great. It must be to the exact title as it cannot search lyrics either (so whomp if you can only remember the chorus or an abstract verse at the time you’re trying to recall). Having the music score is amazing! Truly enjoy that but also wish similar to the iPad app that this came with the music to play it and hear it as well. I’m really not sure why that wasn’t included in here. Additionally, when it said full hymnal and extra songs I’d imagined it meant extras from the older original SDA hymnal (both this and iPad app), but that’s not the case, it’s just very small section of extra songs. Overall, I do appreciate that this app offers correct lyrics to most of the hymns and that it has the music sheet. Usability issues needs addressing ### 3/5 — Where is the product I purchase *2020-01-18, version 1.8* This hymnal I purchased. It was supposed to play some hymns, switch from lyrics to music. But none of it is working. I downloaded the Bible app for free. What a blessing. This hymnal app I purchased instead of the free version because of the features it offered . Where are you. Where are the updates? Please allow purchaser to get the benefit of what you promised ### 3/5 — There’s no playing *2019-07-07, version 1.8* It’s a good app, but I was expecting for there to be a playing button for the songs liked it appeared on the preview pictures. ### 3/5 — Great for the iPhone but not for iPads *2018-12-08, version 1.8* Looks great on an iPhone, although trying to fit an entire hymn with musical score onto an iPhone screen makes things really small. The obvious solution is to install the app on an iPad, however the screen is very distorted, rendering it completely unusable on an iPad. ### 4/5 — Great App *2018-08-22, version 1.8* Really grateful for this app! Especially love the music score option. Just a minor fix—there’s a typo in the music score for hymn 572, and there’s no music score for hymn 534. Otherwise very great!! ### 4/5 — More info would make it more attractive *2016-12-31, version 1.4* Like another's info, category - like Faith, Grace, 2nd Coming, etc. ### 4/5 — Funtional for its purpose *2016-01-02, version 1.4* I utilize this at home and at church and have no complaints. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Dissatisfied, need my money back. *2023-03-08* I paid for this app and is not working, specially the music sheets, it’s all crammed up in a corner not readable at all. I will like to have my money back. Thank you. ### 1/5 — No Music! *2021-06-22, version 1.8* Oh well it only cost me 99 cents to learn it has not audio music! Guess I should be thankful! ### 1/5 — Disappointed *2021-04-09, version 1.8* On IPhone, this App only shows the lyrics, no instrumentals, no change of size, no dark light changes allowed. It should have been free. Iam also disappointed that I haven’t seen updates in almost 2 years that I own it. Hopefully someone will do something about it ### 1/5 — False advertisement *2019-09-22, version 1.8* The pic shows the app that plays music but this app plays NO music. Not worth the 99cents I spent. DON’T be fooled!! ### 1/5 — No play button for iPhone *2019-04-23, version 1.8* Not happy there is not a play button on the IPhone version. So I had to buy the iPad version for $7.99 to use it with a play option. ### 1/5 — Save your money!! *2018-10-20, version 1.8* Save your money. Absolute waste of money ### 1/5 — No play button *2018-10-15, version 1.8* The screenshots show a play button, but the app doesn't have one. It has all the other buttons and functionalities, but I have no way to actually play the hymns. ### 1/5 — Horrible *2017-02-25, version 1.6* They added music and now you can't see the words. Not practical to use any more ### 1/5 — Sda hymnal *2017-02-20, version 1.6* I downloaded the new version now I am unable to understand the writing. It is all gathered at top of page and cannot read. Please fix this problem. ### 2/5 — Where is the music? *2021-05-16, version 1.8* In the description it said that it had music and now I see that it doesn’t ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — SDAH *2020-08-24, version 1.8* This is just perfect for me. I just need the lyrics. I can use the music as chordal reference if I want to lower or increase the pitch. Thank you ### 5/5 — SDA Hymnal *2018-11-10, version 1.8* Very good and simple app. I am able to find all songs used at my church. It would be nice to include the music. ### 5/5 — Great app *2017-02-22, version 1.6* Now that they've added sheet music to the hymns it's fantastic. They still have more to go though, but I still love it!! ### 5/5 — Great for on the go *2016-12-03, version 1.4* I really enjoy this app. Takes the hostel out of searching in the book. This app comes in handy for those times when there are no hymnals available. Easy to navigate ### 5/5 — SDA Hymnal *2016-10-21, version 1.4* I love this hymnal. I can pull it up on my phone and sing the songs from it when I go to church. I can pull it up anytime and sing songs that are so special to me. I love that. It draws me closer to God. ### 5/5 — Love this app *2016-09-04, version 1.4* Very good app easy to navigate and has all the songs ### 5/5 — Great *2016-08-21, version 1.4* It has the option of searching in many ways and has songs from the old hymnal which is a plus ### 5/5 — Great app!! *2016-07-23, version 1.4* Really easy to use thanks for making this app ### 5/5 — Great App *2016-01-02, version 1.4* This app is a great addition for my fellowship when I'm away from home...and it's easier to use than most of the others and works fine without any bug issues. Have been using it over 2 weeks now and I still glad I gave it a try after been disappointed over many others that I tried. ### 5/5 — Wonderful *2016-01-01, version 1.4* Great App to use. Recommend it for every one. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
