You can click on a button to hide this, but it reopens with every new song you open up. This is distracting, especially when trying to enjoy family worship…not sure why they would do this. I deleted this app and got a refund and will look for another. ### 2/5 — Not work *2025-07-30, version 1.28* Screen unresponsive ### 4/5 — Where piano *2025-06-15, version 1.27* I cannot find the page in the app that plays the music and shows the sheet music ### 2/5 — Misleading *2025-01-14* The presentation of the app is misleading as the music is not in piano arrangement, what I needed, but it’s just on separate instruments. I delegated it from my screen. Not sure if I can get my money back. ### 3/5 — No sound *2024-10-18, version 1.25* No sound on any hymns ### 3/5 — Hymns above 600 missing *2024-07-01, version 1.24* I have been thoroughly appreciating this app, until I attempted to open hymns above hymn number 600. A window opens saying “Not found. “No song title found, please try to type just a word of the title.” If this were fixed, it would be 5 star. ### 4/5 — A sure blessing! *2024-01-14, version 1.23* This app has been a sure blessing to me over a number of years. Being able to still sing the old hymns delights my heart and spirit. ### 3/5 — Excited then disappointed *2023-01-27* When I saw it updating today, I was excited that it was finally updated. When I went and looked, the first hymn, all the lines were centered, not the customary way of all being on the left margin. When I clicked on for score, it was and actual score of 2 treble and 2 bass lines making it very difficult to play on the piano, plus there were no words to go with the score, so using it to read while you sing is not a thing. ### 1/5 — No score, no sound *2022-10-25, version 1.21* Disappointed I paid for this app and all it shows me are the lyrics. I want my money back. Thank you. ### 2/5 — I’m not able to play the tune *2022-10-07, version 1.21* Can anyone suggest why I can only see the hymn but no option to play melody it just has a white line on top and option to select dark or light background and that’s it ### 4/5 — Merci *2022-08-29* Merci pour cet application. Une petite amélioration du graphisme serait bien mais l’application demeure excellente 🙏🏽 ### 3/5 — Hymn 340 *2022-07-09, version 1.21* Hymn 340 is missing letters to the beginning of each stanza ### 3/5 — Doesn’t Work Correctly on iPhone 12 or iPad *2022-06-12, version 1.20* It’s nice to have all the hymns. However, on my iPhone or iPad, I can’t see all the screen. On my iPhone, I can’t get to the music and I can barely see the search bar ☹️. ### 3/5 — Nice App.However, *2022-06-04, version 1.20* This app is easily worth the money. Just be aware that the music score and lyrics are separate. Not together as shown in the illustration. If you need to be able to play the music while seeing the lyrics, this app is probably not the one you want. Otherwise, hey, it’s only $1.99 after all. ### 1/5 — Quite frustrating *2022-06-04* Just purchased this app. Plays only one verse of each song or won’t play at all. I think I wasted $3:) ### 1/5 — Henio *2022-05-14* Disappointed many times. Sometimes the upper display disappears and right now it doesn’t want to produce any music. ### 1/5 — Hmmm *2022-05-07, version 1.20* Great words, but no music. Where’s the music? I don’t know how the songs go without having sound and music. ### 1/5 — No sound *2022-05-02, version 1.20* I can’t hear any sound. Volume is up and my device plays other apps sounds and lyrics, but not this one. Dissatisfied! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Does not have full score *2025-11-15* I purchased this specifically so that I would have the sheet music for each hymn. Unfortunately, there is only a single note melody line and not the full score and some hymns don’t even have that. The developer advertised a full score. This was a waste of my money and I don’t recommend this to others looking for sheet music. ### 1/5 — It stoped working *2025-09-27, version 1.28* Why has the app stopped working? I have a frozen screen! I deleted the app and reinstalled it and no change! Still frozen! ### 1/5 — Not good *2025-07-05, version 1.28* When I finish to download this app I can’t use it they take my money and I can’t use the app it’s not working ### 1/5 — Don’t download *2024-07-20* The tunes is not playing don’t download ### 1/5 — No Music, Not Updated *2024-07-12* It's a scam to pay for the app and it turns out it doesn't have music or tunes on it. Not as described. Don't buy it ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2024-07-11, version 1.24* The app is very basic. There are “favorites” but no way to add to your favorites list; i guess it adds a song if you click on it so many times. Can’t get the songs to play and doesn’t have sheet music. Very disappointing. ### 1/5 — Hymnals *2024-05-12* Not playing I need my money back ### 1/5 — Seventh Day Adventist Hymnal with Music *2023-07-25, version 1.22* I paid 2.99$ for SDA Hymnal with Music and it took an hour to download the music book lyrics but where is the music I paid extra for. This software is WACK! Not working to customers satisfaction!!! ### 1/5 — Please Don’t download *2023-07-08* Doesn’t have audio as In description, awful hymn app for the price. ### 1/5 — No Tunes *2023-03-19, version 1.22* Just an app of the hymn lyrics. No music to play. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — John *2023-02-15, version 1.22* It is awesome ### 5/5 — Hymnal *2022-09-03* I love using this app. It’s straight forward and easy to navigate. God is good. All the time. Thank you for this wonderful app ### 5/5 — Sound just stopped. *2022-02-26* After years of working on several devices the app just stopped sound function. ### 5/5 — Thumbs up! *2021-12-05, version 1.20* I’m not so musically incline so this is a great help!!! I love that I can turn on the music to remember how the melody goes :) ### 5/5 — Full music for songs *2021-08-07* Would be nice to have the music for the entire songs ### 5/5 — Hymns *2021-06-16, version 1.20* I have enjoyed this app. It is consistent and well worth the money. ### 5/5 — My best app *2021-05-20* I use this everyday and enjoy it immensely. ### 5/5 — Lost & Found *2021-01-01, version 1.19* Thank you for including songs that were left out of the Adventist hymnal. The inclusion of the tunes is a wonderful blessing. ### 5/5 — Lee L. *2020-09-16* I enjoy this app very much. I do have a criticism though. Why aren’t all introductions the same? Most use the entire first verse, which allows people to get the full rhythm. I would prefer this. Second, there are a few songs where the final verse is not played automatically, like 214. Thank you. ### 5/5 — A Pleasure to give Praise *2020-06-30* Although the search capability needs improving I am so happy that I can find a hymn quickly to sing praises to God. Sometimes I cannot remember the name of a hymn but only a few words and that’s where the App needs to improve its search capability --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
