RECORD AND SHARE • Record yourself singing — recordings stay on your phone unless you choose to share them • Tap the lines as you sing and playback shows the words in time with your voice • Share a recording in the app as a 24-hour status friends can hear, send the audio to another app, or create a captioned video for your status • Sing over an instrumental, or add your voice to someone else's recording

THE STORIES BEHIND THE HYMNS • Hymn writers from the Venḓa mission era, the German chorale tradition, and the great gospel songwriters — over fifty biographies
