I rarely pay for an app, and thought this would be worth it, but there is no music to many of the hymns, just lyrics. Additionally, if a song is playing, once I turn off my display screen to save battery power, the music stops playing. ### 5/5 — Love the app just needs more hymns *2019-08-17* Need to add more hymns. Especially for the African American church (Church Of God In Christ and Baptist hymn books). The AI is smooth and sleek. Runs great. I’d strongly recommend the app after changes are made/ songs for the Black Church are added. This app could be a game changer. No more need for hard cover hymnals for the digital savvy ### 5/5 — Wide selection of praise songs, not only hymns! *2017-10-25* I LOVE this app. There is such a wide selection of contemporary praise songs as well as classic hymns. I appreciate that the developer is quick to respond to feedback when I've requested a song to be added. I have requested a song several times in the past few years and each time I received a quick friendly response and the song was added with a day or two. Thank you for creating this collection. It inspires my devotional time when I can't remember all the lyrics to a song, but can find them quickly in the Hymns app. ### 5/5 — Love it *2016-12-19, version 4.0* Well designed and presented app. Very impressed with the growing resource and the Hymn tunes available. Yes! ### 5/5 — Awesome app! *2016-11-08, version 4.0* Thanks so much for the app, Michael! Highly recommend it. Also, asked Mike to add Good Good Father to the list and it was done right away, thank you again! ### 4/5 — Some disappointments *2016-08-10* Lots of great hymns, but I don't particularly appreciate the ones praising saints and the virgin Mary. God alone is to be worshipped. Mary herself was a sinner in need of a savior. Scripture makes this clear. ### 4/5 — Excellent, please add audio for hymns *2016-06-04* Many great hymns, thank you for this app. Could you add audio files along with the lyrics. This would help a lot. ### 4/5 — Good variety, old favourites *2016-04-23, version 3.0* This app has a good range of hymns and songs, all old favourites. Is not the most comprehensive hymnal, but very good nonetheless. ### 5/5 — Love it! *2016-01-14, version 3.0* I Love how it's a mixture of traditional English hymns, along with Coptic hymns (in English) I could only wish there was audio so I could learn the other hymns I don't know. Great app, thank you! :) ### 4/5 — Quick reference. *2016-01-03* Very helpful for quick find. May have some minor errors. ## Frequently asked questions about Hymns (English) ### What is Hymns (English) used for?
