Hymnal Voice began with the beloved Tshivenḓa hymn books — Nyimbo dza Vhatendi and Phalaphala ya Mafhungo-Maḓifha — and the classic English hymns behind them. Today it is a growing offline home for hymn traditions across Southern Africa, now joined by the isiZulu Amagama Okuhlabelela — with more languages and traditions on the way. Read, sing, and praise the Lord in church, at home, or far from home. EVERY HYMN, ALWAYS WITH YOU • Over 700 hymns across four hymn books — Tshivenḓa, English, and isiZulu — all fully offline • Choose your own home hymnals, so the books you sing from are always to hand • Find any hymn by number, title, or any line of its words • Large, clear hymn-book typography with adjustable text size • English translations line by line under the original, whenever you want them • Many hymns link to their English original — and back SING ALONG • Instrumentals for hundreds of hymns, in five sounds — from cathedral organ to gentle piano — with adjustable speed that never changes the key • A short intro gives the starting pitch, then the verses follow RECORD AND SHARE • Record yourself singing — recordings stay on your phone unless you choose to share them • Tap the lines as you sing and playback shows the words in time with your voice • Share a recording in the app as a 24-hour status friends can hear, send the audio to another app, or create a captioned video for your status • Sing over an instrumental, or add your voice to someone else's recording THE STORIES BEHIND THE HYMNS • Hymn writers from the Venḓa mission era, the German chorale tradition, the great gospel songwriters, and beyond — over fifty biographies New hymnals arrive over time, on their own — no reinstall needed. From the Venḓa missions to hymn traditions across the region, these songs have carried worship for generations. This app is for the praise of the Lord. ## Version history (last 5 releases) ### 1.3 — 2026-08-18 Added option to export presentations / powerpoint ### 1.2.2 — 2026-08-05 Added more hymn collections, include Difela tsa Sione. ### 1.2.1 — 2026-08-02 Behind-the-scenes improvements so new hymn collections and updates reach you automatically — no reinstall needed.
