How wonderful and convenient to have your hymnal on your tablet or smartphone. This is a full featured complete SDA eHymnal with professionally typeset (not scanned) music scores and lyrics that are ultra sharp and clear. Contains all of the 695 hymns from the Seventh-day Adventist Hymnal® plus many more from the "old" hymnal and other choruses. 4-part harmony music scores for all of the hymns. Also has all of the responsive readings. As a bonus, many of the hymns have professionally recorded organ accompaniment. Use the accompaniment for congregational singing, or to meditate on during your personal devotions. No internet connection is needed to use this hymnal after installation.
The user interface has a clean look with no ads, and very easy to use. You can quickly and easily find the hymn that you want either by selecting from the alphabetical index of hymn titles and first lines, the numerical index of hymn numbers based on the Seventh-day Adventist Hymnal® or your own bookmark list. There is a full featured bookmark list for you to add songs that you need for quick access. Use the search feature to quickly search for words in the title or first line, or just enter a hymn number to jump directly to that hymn. You can also swipe left or right to go to the next or previous song just like turning pages in the printed hymnal. But what is even better is that the swipe turning sequence can either be in numerical hymn number order, alphabetical hymn title order, or bookmark list order. Zoom in for larger notes and texts both in portrait or landscape orientations.
God has given me two talents-music and computer. I have been a church pianist and organist for several decades, and professionally, I am a computer professor. So putting these two talents together, I have personally written this app and recorded the hymns to be a blessing to others. I hope that you will like it and be blessed by it. I would love to hear from you to tell me how I can improve this app.
This app is neither endorsed by nor affiliated with the Seventh-day Adventist Church®.
Because of the large number of songs, it will take about 15 minutes initially to download and install this app. No internet connection is required after the installation.

I paid (twice, as it turned out) for this app. It was supposed to have organ accompaniment. It doesn't. The music is canned, choppy & tinny sounding, certainly not the professional music that was promised for such a high price. Also not to sound unkind but the developer also promised to add music for the songs that didn't have music. I do not see that that has happened. So I am very disappointed in this app. The sheet music is displayed. That is good.
Not a bad app overall. Only two issues I have with it. Firstly the midis were not programmed for congregational singing. Secondly the chords were improvised rather than transcribed directly from the hymnal. This may be due to a engraving software limitation preventing use of split stems.
I loved this app before the update. Please restore the lyrics option. I do not read music. The words are to small for me to see, now I can't use this app at all, disappointing.
Excellent,it has the musical notes I was much interested in and can also display lyrics if one desires just that. Now it is my custom whenever I have a new device to have this APP top of my list of must have musical APPs. Most SDA APPs do not have musical notes I have observed so this is exactly what I wanted and am glad I have it.
Very powerful app. Thanks to the Developer. However, check on the notes as few songs have notes not consistent with the hardcopy. Example of such is the bass notes of hymn 375. Please, check and update accordingly.
Can't get lyrics only mode anymore
Very good app! I love it!! However, I can't seem to turn pages... very frustrating. Please fix this bug (Edit:thanks for fixing the bug)
Its nice and very useful but for some reason, for songs that are two pages i cant swipe to the next page. I hope you can help me with this.
Very good and easy to use. My only problem is for the second time of having the app on 2 separate phones it has stopped going to another page when I swipe or tap
great to have an app with all the music and word. easy search function. Wish I could swipe R&L to go to the next or previous song.
The tempo of each song is exceptionally fast, making it difficult to keep pace. Unable to swipe to the previous or next song.
Very good improvement in the latest update. Long songs have two pages now. Swiping to next song is now possible. Keep up the good job
The latest update has taken away best feature of displaying lyrics only. Without this option this is no longer useful to Mr. Please restore this feature.
Not a great update. Cannnot display lyrics only. And once in background changes to another hymn. Make it full screen.
I love this app, but you've taken away the option to turn page. If a song is on 2 pages, I can't get to the second. Please fix
nice app! is everything i need! intros excellent music on point. blessed! just work on the swiping. preceding and subsequent songs.
Great App. However most songs that are not contained in one page I can't access the next page of the musical sheet.
Awesome app. Developer has however made it too easy to add and delete bookmarks, so the two tasks are accidentally done more than with deliberation. Please let there be confirmation before adding or deleting any bookmark.
What's that? I paid just to see notes and the harmony, and there is nothing except lyrics. Play song - No audio file? File missing? Reinstall the app? What does it mean? You want money again? Hey, what's going on? Hello!!! Hope you'll do something or it's just s**t
It has worked trouble free for years. Just never update it or you lose the good version from years ago.
It is a nice app... helps when my hard-copy hymnal us not in reach. even when travelling I use this. amazing. Release updates to make it more interesting.
best app... the only problem i have is that some of the songs have two pages but i am unable to go to the next or previous page by swiping left or right
Enjoy the hymnal. Use the music to help sing songs. Only drawback is pause between verses is excessive.
please "repeat, play all songs" is very important. it's very distractive when u are in the Spirit and you have to pause and play song again or select the next or another song
It's a good app but I think the lyrics only option was removed. I hope you could put it back.
Well the app is great and the developer did a great job. I don't have a problem n I don't think I will encounter one too. Great job
Excellent app with sheet music. Been looking for this on Android for a very long time. Thank you so much.
I've used this on iOS before, it still works great! Now in comparison space has been optimised. Thumbs up.
Pretty much perfect. Haven't compared the scores to my official copy so I don't know how they compare, but I think they're the same. Idk if the app plays the scores or downloads the audio from an online source, but if it's the former, a transpose option would be helpful. Sometimes, it's hard to sing the songs with my family without moving it down several pitches.
