### 1/5 — App will not play

*2026-03-12*

I would rather get help with my problem than leave a poor review, but there are no options to report issues or get assistance other than to leave a review. The KnowHymn app was recommended to me, and I would like to use it on my iPhone 15. However after downloading the app it will not play. Any suggestions?

### 4/5 — The songs won’t play

*2025-10-05*

I can’t get the songs to play

### 1/5 — Unacceptable

*2025-05-04*

I have been using this app for a few years now and I use the premium version which was $30 for that time. My card was charged. I go to play my hymns and I can’t and then I look to see what could be the issue uninstall it and reinstalled it only to come to find out that you guys upped your price to $99 but you never gave me a refund
Or allow me to keep the premium for the year and charge me next year. I need this fixed either. I should have the premium version or you can refund me

### 1/5 — Not working since software update

*2025-03-22, version 1.2.2*

Not working since software update iPhone

### 5/5 — The best hymn ever

*2024-08-10*

In my opinion, the best playing of Seventh day Adventist hymn book . Well done. Thank you very much for going to all the work to make it possible for us to have accompaniment while we sing. May God continue to bless you as you share your God-given gifts.

### 5/5 — Best SDA Hymnal App

*2024-05-31, version 1.2.2*

This app is great. The hymns are played well and the app functions seamlessly with great user interface.

### 3/5 — Great App - Fix Favorites

*2024-01-07*

I’ve used a few hymnal apps, and this is one of the best for design, clarity, and features. 

However, there is a bug when adding a hymn to a Favorite list, as it stores the hymn number previous to the one you want, eg search for 530, click on heart icon to Favorite it, but when go to Favorites list, it shows 529. 

Can you fix this please?

### 5/5 — App Glitching

*2023-08-28*

I really have appreciated this app, because we use it for family worship nearly every morning. However, lately it’s been glitching and the music won’t play when I try to start it. It will be like this for a few days and then suddenly start working again. I don’t know if anyone else is having this issue, but I really hope that this can be resolved soon!

### 3/5 — About this App:

*2023-06-19*

I find this to be poorly done,the music is off track on most of the songs that I have listened to, The persons who are playing the piano sounds as if they are in the learning process. I know that lyrics in songs are sometimes changed, but trying to combine the original with your ideas sound awful. I do find it easy to navigate, finding songs and being able to store my favorite hymns but, trying to sing along is just awful, it is either too slow, too fast or the tune just changes, maybe I’m old fashioned, but I love the original tunes better.

### 5/5 — Love this app

*2023-03-23*

I am an elder caregiver.  Last evening I was called to a nursing home as a long term dementia patient was  extremely anxious.  I sat by her bedside and sang to her and eventually pulled out my phone and played her favorite hymns.  Thank you.
