Hymnbooks

This is a great app, well designed, and very stable. It started off good, and subtle features have been added. Finding our Hymns has never been easier, which also includes our Graces, and the 1951 edition of Hymns Old & New. (plus other languages) Thanks very much for your work! A timesaver…

Very nice, very helpful app. Thanks. The music notes view is so nice for those of us with poor vision, making it so much easier for playing the hymns on the piano. I can see the music on the large iPad. One request, if it were relatively easy to do: I have a Bluetooth page turner, which sends the page down/ page up command to my iPad. The page turner does not have any effect on the pages in the hymn book app. It works great with things like Safari or a PDF document, so I know it’s working, but the main purpose of it is for turning pages of the hymns when playing the piano since your hands are tied up. My Bluetooth page turner is configurable, so I can choose what commands to send, like page down, arrow left, arrow right, etc, but none of them have any effect on scrolling the music down…

There are some good hymns here, but they're categorized by the person who wrote them, not by the title of the song. That can make it hard if you don't know what you're looking for... And not having a lot of hymn writers, this sorely limits the search for many classic, and especially the more obscure, hymns. I can't say it's a bad app, though. It works well for what it is, and has simple, easy-to-use features that work. There may be better Hymn apps out there, I just don't know any, yet. I'm still working my way through them.
