### 5/5 — ❤️❤️

*2026-03-20, version 10.1*

It is so great with the lyrics! Thanks!

### 5/5 — Good for the soul

*2025-09-04, version 9.1.4*

I really enjoy being able to hear hymns on my phone while doing things around the house as well as in the car using CarPlay. Simple app, but so wonderful. It is such a blessing to have access to hymns 24/7.

### 5/5 — Give them food…

*2025-03-09, version 9.1.1*

Love the hymns and the app!  Love that it can be on a timer.  Beautiful!

### 5/5 — Plays  Christmas songs?

*2023-11-09, version 9.0.1*

Play’s Christmas songs

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2023-07-01, version 9.0.1*

I was looking for an app where I could listen to Godly music and am very happy I found this keep on doing what you’re doing!

### 5/5 — Praise the Lord

*2021-11-22, version 8.2*

Thank you for su much riches and fresh start with hymns that we can look everything away onto Jesus!

### 1/5 — Backbeats

*2021-11-19, version 8.2*

Unfortunately, I'm hearing songs with a lot of backbeats which is a technique that the world uses to strengthen the flesh instead of the spirit so I'll have to delete the app. I'm searching for an app that will play music without backbeats, sliding and scooping (which I haven't heard on this app so I'm disappointed to have to delete it), or other elements of contamination by the influences of the world's music.

### 4/5 — Nice app but missing a like/dislike/skip function

*2021-07-13, version 8.2*

The app is very nice but is missing the Pandora like functions like/dislike & what I would like to see most is a skip function. I wish they would also sing more young people songs. I probably use Pandora more often cause of these missing functions.

### 3/5 — Gbu I’ll explain the 3 stars

*2021-06-22, version 8.2*

1st off I think it’s time for another update. Honestly I can care less about whether or not I can use Siri or not. I don’t mind at all just opening the phone and simply tapping on the app to open it. Besides that the hymns have started to skip. There is now this skip that doesn’t stop. About every 30 to 40 seconds there is this skip now that wasn’t there before. I have nothing to say about the app itself for it continues to be a blessing and we are not to be complaining about really anything. The skip though id like to see go away. Also: I’d like for there to be a way “within” the app itself where the lyrics to each hymn is shown. Perhaps right on the screen as each hymn comes up. Right there under the title to the hymn there could be something we tap that displays the lyrics right there without having to leave the app. That’s really all. Update the app to remove this skipping and look to add a new feature that allows for us to sing along with the hymns with the lyrics right there on the screen in the app. May The Lord lead you to add more and more hymns that glorify Him and continue to help build His church. Oh…also, when that part comes up where a scripture is read with some commentary; maybe you can add that all to the app on the screen aswell for us to read the scriptures and the commentary aswell without needing to leave the app.

### 5/5 — Best App

*2020-10-29, version 8.1*

Best app ever.  Songs filled with the truth, and life
