## What is LDS Hymns?

LDS Hymns was the first app in the App Store that made the sheet music of the Hymns available to iOS users. After a couple years I donated my code (as well as the LDS Music app name) to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, figuring that almost everyone would stop using this app.

I was wrong! Apparently folks like the fact that this app has fewer features!

So after many requests, I've updated the app with some great new features while keeping the simplicity you've come to enjoy:

* Support for 38 languages (not a typo)!
* LDS Hymns & the Children's Songbook (for supported languages)
* Universal app with support for iPad and large-screen iPhones
* Automatically sync your favorites between devices with iCloud
* Makes use of the latest features available on iOS (e.g., Force Touch)

Please note that due to copyright restrictions I've had to remove the music and/or words from several of the hymns. This will be obvious within the app.

Please note that this application is not a product of or endorsed by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

## Key features

- Sheet music and lyrics

### 2/5 — New Hymns

*2026-02-02*

The update is good. Once I get used to the changes I’m sure I’ll enjoy it more. However where are the new hymns starting at 1001?!

### 4/5 — Needs updating

*2025-03-23*

I love this app because it is very user friendly . 
I am anxiously waiting for it to be updated with all the new songs that have been released by the church.

### 5/5 — LDS

*2023-07-13*

How can you not like it?

### 1/5 — Great product text size does not adjust

*2023-04-16*

This product is great. I love being able to switch between different views. However over the years my eyesight has diminished. And this product does not increase the text size with accessibility settings and there is no mother way to increase the text size. So therefore I can’t read the hymn text unless I put the phone up close to my eyes and that is weird to do in church. Please fix this.  And I will adjust my rating to 5 stars.

### 5/5 — Simple and Effective

*2021-10-10*

This app is simple and easy to use. It gets you to the hymns right away and makes it easy to find by number or by searching for words

### 5/5 — Simple and useful

*2018-07-08*

I prefer this over a regular hymn book.

### 4/5 — You need to add Hawaiian as one of the languages

*2018-07-01*

You need to add Hawaiian as one of the languages
