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.

Please email support@mygadgets2.com if you have any question whatsoever in using this app.

Difficult to read on galaxy S3.If font is enlarged enough to see then you'd have to scroll and shift around song to see all. Wouldn't go to preceding or next song by swiping. Not all songs have music.

This app seems to be uniquely positioned amongst similar apps in that it includes scores. So I risked a purchase. Sadly, there has been no update since 2013 so I despair of these issues ever being fixed: Sometimes the app will freeze and crash. Swipe to next hymn gesture doesn't seem to work some of the time. Accidental tap to the next hymn is a frequent occurrence and there is no way to back up. Zoom when opening the next hymn should not be the default.

D70%
by D####:

Really great app. Would help if default view was full page rather than zoomed in. Maybe it's set for a particular screen size? I don't remember it doing so in previous versions. Page turning could be a bit more smoother an responsive

V70%
by V####:

The organ accompaniment help to learn new songs, give intro to hyms in a church lacking music instruments. It if fitting to small congregation and family use, please play more hyms

D70%
by D####:

Starts up zoomed into top left. Also scrolling pages doesnt work very well. Great on phones but struggles on tablets. Needs some debugging and development.

D70%
by D####:

It would be great if you would enable "Move to SD Card" because this App is rather large. Otherwise, excellent!

Sure you guys didn't just wake up to send this out, thanks for the extra work u put in

I have been looking for the SDA hymnal with sheet music. This is the perfect (and only, I believe) one. Now I don't have to rely on the few tunes I know but can learn new ones. I just wish it would open up at normal size. Thanks

O70%
by O####:

Excellent App... Caaaan't Wait for the upgrade with the musical accompaniment! Good Job. God Bless. Keep up the good work!

U70%
by U####:

With music sheets and many with organic mp3. Awesome. Improvements would be all songs with organic accompaniment and optional guitar chords. Thank you, this app is nearly perfect and a very real blessing to the glory of Jesus!

S70%
by S####:

This is a good tool, but the more I use it, the more songs I find missing from the alphabetical index (they are present in the numerical index, which only helps if I know the number). It would be helpful if it also included guitar chords with the lyrics (letters with numbers is enough, tabs might be nice but not required), like a number of other hymnals. If I had to choose between the playback of hymns, which is great, and chords, I would have to go with chords. Continuous playback would be a big plus.

M70%
by M####:

I thank God for this app. I can praise God any time with the songs I cannot recall the lyrics. One suggestion - pls add left/right swipe to go to previous/next hymns. Thanks.

B70%

Needs to be able to be moved to sd card to save storage space.

D70%
by D####:

Developer included only a few audio. You open most of the songs and a message pops up: 'Audio coming soon'. In over 18 months not even one audio has been added to the original packged app. Donate your money to a better charity.

N70%
by N####:

Clive Sale Says he loves singing, with music, its much more enjoyable for those of us who are not very good at reading music. With music we can at lease try and start the song on correct note.

Z70%
by Z####:

Thanks. Nice big print for tablet. Great for note 3 too. Love this app. Love the extra songs not in regular hymnal too. Thank you so much.

Could easily be a 5 star if Significant zoom bugs were fixed. The tech help is non existent I reported a zoom issue that makes the app almost impossible to use over 2 years ago and nothing has been done to fix it.

N70%
by N####:

This app seems to be uniquely positioned amongst similar apps in that it includes scores. That made it worthwhile for me to purchase. I like the thought that went into the UI. It was designed well. However, sometimes the app will freeze and crash, so it needs work there. The swipe to next hymn gesture doesn't seem to work some of the time. I also find it too easy to accidentally switch to the next hymn instead of double tapping to zoom. Finally, I would prefer if it did not zoom when opening the next hymn.

Z70%
by Z####:

Would love to give 5 stars, but a couple of things need to be improved. I wanted the music, not just the words. On that score, this is a great app. However, can't swipe right or left for next song or to get to 2nd page of a 2-page song; e.g., #214, We Have This Hope". Very disappointing.

N70%
by N####:

It should enrich my personal devotion.

O70%
by O####:

My phone can't even download this app, even after I erased or downgraded every app possible to have 1.3 gb available space. Need to do something about the huge database. Perhaps make the audio a separate, optional download. I can't even try to move to SD because it never gets that far. Until this is fixed, don't waste your money. Two stars instead of one because when it did work on my phone, it was awesome.

N70%
by N####:

Its awesome having the music notes, not just the lyrics. Just wish it was easier to turn the pages, like a book. But i love that you can bookmark your favourites so you can return to them quickly.

I'm sure you went through a lot to scan those pages. Good work. It would be good to be able to share songs though. Please consider this request.

N70%
by N####:

This is a very good tool. I am just a little surprised a tool of this quality doesn't also include guitar chords with the lyrics (letters with numbers is enough, tabs might be nice but not required), like a number of other hymnals. If I had to choose between the playback of hymns, which is great, and chords, I would have to go with chords. If implemented in the future, please don't use simple generic chords like some hymnals, but the actual complex chords used. Thanks for listening.

N70%
by N####:

This app is on its way to being excellent. Still a few shortcomings to sort out, such as not being able to flip backwards & forwards in hymns 2 pages long. Otherwise, a good tool.

X70%
by X####:

Love the app, but scrolling does not work well, accidently touching the right edge of the screen will scroll to a next song, but touching the left side will not scroll back, but also scroll forward. By the time you get back to the song the church finished singing it. I bought it to replace the book, but if I had a test drive I would not have bought the app. Android 4.4.

by S####:

I'm giving it 5 stars for effort. But the music is a tad slow. I already emailed you guys that you might want to increase the speed of the music by about 10 metronome points. Thanks.

Excellent app. God bless you and help you for further developing for innovation and song creation for OLED display song book include all features

Some of the songs are missing versus. Would be 5 stars otherwise.

This app I have wanted so long it is the best, just need more music to some songs and am good to go.I was just reading that all the songs have audio, but I don:t notice that in my version, is there an update?thanks for any help.

S70%
by S####:

A phone screen can't display it all, and when scrolling through one song or shrinking the song to fit my display, it is often too easy to accidentally move to the next song. This is the ONLY reason I gave it 4 stars instead of five. Great app. Love it.

I love having it on my phone. It helps me on impromtu playing of piano on worships.

Absolutely love this app. Went crazy excited when I saw old hymns included as well. The only shortcoming is that many midi files are missing. My blackberry hymnal had more midi files than I can play here. But other than that, great great app!

I love this app. As a church misician I like the fact that when the song leader calls a hymn, I can find it and start introducing the song before the congregation gets there. This is a blessing.

Looking for a hymnal with notes? This is the app to install. Great idea :-)
