## Review summary

Users repeatedly praise Hymnal for its on-screen lyrics, piano accompaniment, quick hymn search, translations, and portability. However, recurring issues with audio playback and unreliable piano accompaniment, plus a strong demand for on-screen sheet music and simultaneous lyric/musical reading, highlight the app’s key weaknesses. Overall, improvements exist, but audio reliability and reading tools remain top focus areas.

### Pros

- Piano accompaniment and hymn lyrics can be viewed simultaneously on screen, enabling singing with both audio and text.
- Lyrics/words are displayed with hymns, helping users read along while singing.
- Fast, intuitive hymn search by title or hymn number with instant results (no loading delays).
- Translations (Spanish and Portuguese) and display options (white/black background) enhance readability and accessibility.
- Significant convenience: users no longer need to carry a physical hymnal and can learn songs at home with ease.

### Cons

- Audio playback issues are frequently reported, with users experiencing missing or unusable sound across songs.
- Piano accompaniment/Integrated audio features can be unreliable or nonfunctional after updates, leading to inconsistent use.
- A common desire is visible, on-screen sheet music or visual harmony to read beyond just lyrics, which is currently lacking for many hymns.
- Users often want to read lyrics while the music plays, a feature that has been inconsistently available and is repeatedly requested.
