### 3/5 — Don’t update

*2022-03-20, version 11.5*

I wish I didn’t update, seems the little play button where we would hear music being played has been taken away. Smh

### 4/5 — Well done

*2020-08-31*

Its well done, but i wish we could select what parts we wish to listen to; soprano and alto, or tenor and bass... or even all four parts one at a time. Also, why did you change the audio to video things?

### 2/5 — Program needs work!

*2016-04-14, version 8.50*

Beautiful hymns....but no instructions how to save to "my songs"; how to access bookmarked songs. Gave up on!

### 2/5 — Ok

*2016-03-24, version 8.50*

Ok

### 5/5 — Great app, praise the Lord!

*2014-11-15, version 8.50*

Lots of well known hymns in one place - smaller than a hymn book.
Bug though - edit new song is not working right.
Such a great app!

### 5/5 — Good work.

*2014-10-30, version 8.50*

Extensive list of Chrisyian songs. Thank you for your hard work.

### 5/5 — Nice hymns

*2014-08-19, version 8.50*

It's a good hymn app just needs to be updated with more songs other than that thanks to Lucas for putting this together!

### 5/5 — Freezes

*2014-07-15, version 8.50*

Nice functioning for a few plays, then gibberish! Plays wrong song, then all chattery. 5 stars for the effort; zero without more work.

### 5/5 — Miss

*2014-02-15, version 8.50*

Very good and plays all the songs

### 4/5 — Almost Excellent

*2013-11-30, version 8.50*

Very good resource, but it would be nice to have music for the lyrics section.  I'm unfamiliar with a lot of the songs and would love to be able to sing and teach some of them.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2013-09-22, version 8.50*

Simple user interface and nice feature set.

### 4/5 — Great Hymns, but…

*2013-09-04*

I love all the older hymns and the treble only or treble & bass option is  great for learning new songs (nice piano playing by the way!); however, after about 5-8 songs they start freezing up or going wild. Can you PLEEAASE fix this? I appreciate all the hard work you've put into this app already and hope this can be rectified soon!!! Thank you!!!

### 3/5 — Good

*2013-06-16, version 8.50*

I would give more stars but I can't see the whole page of the song. Doesn't scroll.

### 5/5 — Great app!

*2013-06-02, version 8.50*

Great job!

### 5/5 — Good old church hymns

*2013-05-27, version 8.50*

Love the app, it brings back memories when I was a little girl, growing up in church and they sing songs like these .

### 5/5 — Beautiful app

*2013-05-24, version 8.50*

Love this app and how handy it is even without an actual piano. A must for every hymn-loving person.

### 5/5 — Muy padre

*2013-05-14, version 8.50*

Aprendiendo a usarla pero esta muy buena

### 1/5 — No longer works with my iPad!!!

*2016-09-22, version 9.0*

If you still have an iPad 4 or older, don't bother with this app!  It used work on my iPad 4, but has since lost support for anything older than an iPad Air!  What a wasted investment!

### 1/5 — Complete waste of time!

*2013-03-04, version 8.50*

Doesn't work as intended. Just a waste.

### 1/5 — Praise Hymns

*2013-03-01, version 8.50*

Needs a lot of work and a lot of improvment.For example program plays at least 3 different hymns at once , the directory is worse than useless. Total waste of money and time

### 1/5 — Not good cant play music

*2012-10-11, version 8.01*

Can't play music. It needs massive upgrade

### 1/5 — Not good

*2012-03-04, version 7.0*

It used to work, not now...... Please fix soon.

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2012-02-29, version 7.0*

It is unusable to me now...took away my favorites, won't go in landscape mode, lyrics don't have their own page now, it is NOT easy to use. I want the old one back.  This rates 0 stars. I am so disappointed. How do I get the old one back. It was perfect for singing from the lyrics.

### 1/5 — No Content

*2011-01-09, version 1.5*

Downloaded the app but it has no hymns. Only a blank database and a search function. Don't need to search to find our that nothing would be found. ??

### 1/5 — Very poor - Worst app I have bought

*2010-10-21, version 0*

This is the first app I have really regretted buying. Far and beyond the worst app I have ever seen.

What are the problems?
- What is displayed are low-quality scans of the sheet music
- You can't zoom in on the music so you can't read it on the iphone (you can use the three-finger zoom available for the visually impaired, but moving around in that mode is extremely difficult)
- You can't even choose to get lyrics alone (I thought this might help if I know the tunesbut not the words)
- The sound quality is dreadful
- There are obscure + and - icons that seem impossible to figure out
- It took ages to start, just showing 'black' initially.
- No organization of hymns, e.g. so you can look at just the Christmas ones

### 2/5 — Index is horrible and no page turn

*2019-04-28*

In the table of contents/index for every letter (because they’re organized alphabetically) it repeats the index for that letter over and over before it get to the next letter. It also doesn’t take you to the song you click on. Like as I was browsing at first it did, but as I got father through the alphabet I’d go to click on “I Sing the Mighty Power of God” and it’ll take me to “In the Shadow of His Wings”. It did this several times and it is super irritating and makes the app nearly impossible to navigate. There’s also no ability to manually page turn to just browse through the entire hymnal, and when you go back to the index after looking at a song it takes you back to the beginning of the alphabet in the index instead of where the last song you looked at was, even if you don’t leave the app at any time.

I did really like the audio recordings that went along with each hymn and there was a fairly decent selection. It’s just extremely difficult to navigate. I’ll probably delete it.

### 2/5 — Problems

*2017-04-18*

I downloaded this app and it has crashed twice after just a few minutes using it.

### 5/5 — Review

*2024-11-30, version 11.5*

Great app! Would like to see new additions to the sheet music section. That would be really nice.

### 5/5 — Cute Little App

*2023-06-14*

It’s not fancy.  But it’s fun to listen to the old hymns.

### 5/5 — Amazing App

*2021-06-23, version 10.6*

This is an amazing companion App to have on your phone in conjunction with the Holy Bible App. 
This app with its scaleable type and melodies mean your never lost looking for sheets of paper to join in I recommend it and from me it gets Five Stars.

### 5/5 — Great App

*2021-02-13*

I just stumbled across this app. I love the easy guitar chords. It’s a great tool when you need to play songs on the fly.

### 5/5 — Huge Selection of Songs

*2020-09-18*

This app has a huge selection of songs, many with guitar chords and melody trainers! Great job, developer!

### 5/5 — Just What I Was Looking For

*2016-11-26*

What a surprise to find this recently offered through Apple! Thank you!

### 5/5 — Wonderful Blessing

*2016-08-07, version 8.50*

There are so many songs I know and love here.  I appreciate having the music as well.  Thanks so much for making this available.

### 5/5 — Beautiful app

*2016-07-06, version 8.50*

This app is amazing. Thank you so much for the blessing.

### 5/5 — Great

*2015-03-03, version 8.50*

I love it that it not only has the sheet music but you can listen to it in four parts, two parts, etc.

### 5/5 — Read and sing

*2015-02-19, version 8.50*

This app is great for learning new hymns and memorizing old ones.
