Review summary

Users praise the app for strong search, portability, and hymn previews to support worship planning, but recurring concerns include reliability and navigation problems, two-page viewing limitations, licensing/account access issues, incomplete audio, and a non-intuitive interface. Updates and responsive support are noted, but usability remains a major concern for congregational use.

Pros

Strong search features for finding hymns by title, topic, or lectionary.
Portable hymnals for worship planning on the go with the ability to save hymns for Sundays (set lists).
Audio previews/clips help in selecting hymns and hearing tunes.
App modernization and responsiveness improvements in updates.
Simple, user-friendly interface with options like fullscreen view that aid performance and planning.

Cons

Reliability issues: frequent crashes, playback glitches, and unstable behavior.
Two-page viewing is poor: can't view both pages at once and page-turns are awkward, especially for accompaniments.
Licensing/account problems: loss of access after updates, re-purchases, and playlist/subscription issues.
Incomplete or restricted audio: some tunes cut off, limited duration due to licensing, or missing verses.
Non-intuitive UI: features hidden behind menus and navigation is confusing for performers.

2025-01-12	ty*****	The applications fails in several ways. Worst is that the publisher offers no support and fails to make contact for any support when issues arise. Selections fade out unpredictably when playback is launched. Sections of hymns jump or cut unpredictably. Page turns are unreliable. Requests for support go unanswered.

2024-02-27	bm*****	I paid for the pew and accompaniment editions. Why can I not print a hymn?? I’m at home and need to print a page before I’m back at church (where we have the pew, accompaniment and large print hymnals), but I can’t do it. Am I missing something after paying so much??

2022-09-27	Lu*****	This is exactly what I wanted for my personal devotion at a great price. I wonder if it might be worth adding an option to buy a full midi file from inside the app? Thanks for the hard work.
