Christ In Song App Reviews

I want to say I really enjoy all the hymns, especially the ones that are harder to find. Having the playable tune is great too. I am a song leader in church and I will be using this to reintroduce these hymns to a new generation. However, this app desperately needs a couple things.... 1. Navigation tools to exit out of the Favorites menu are a must. If you accidentally hit the favorites button, the only way to get back to the hymnal is to exit, quit the program and restart it. 2. E-mail capabilities: While being able to print is convenient, many people do not have access to an air printer. Furthermore, for music leaders, having the ability to email sheet music and even the mp3 tunes is extremely helpful. Many other hymnal apps have this feature, and, in the mission of bringing back some of these old (but great) hymns, things like these features are necessary. 3. There are a few copyrights that havent been cleared yet. I hope the developer can navigate through the legalities and get these authorized. 4. A link to site where the actual printed version of this hymnal can be purchased. I was a confused, because, before downloading, I thought this was the famous "Christ in Song" hymnal by F.E. Belden, from 1908, which recently came back into print. The publishers of this app should really clarify this through an in app link so that the user may find, and purchase, the hymnal used in the app. So far, I have been unable to locate it online. Please take these recommendations into consideration in a future update. Thank you.

Would love to have more songs and if you could include the lyrics to some of the more recent hymns as well. It has just about all of them though!

I am so pleased with this collection of worship songs! It includes almost all of the best hymns of the past 300 years and I was overwhelmed that my very favorites are all included. It was an extra surprise that the audio music is available for most of the songs making it possible to learn some that I dont already know. And the audio function allows you to change keys or tempo. I especially liked that I can build a favorites list, and the search functions are first rate. The only disappointment was that several hymns that were in the original are not included because of copyright issues. However, the ones that were blocked out were not among my own favorites, and since there are almost 900 songs in this hymnal, the missing ones were not a very big loss. In all, I am very pleased and consider this to be well worth what I paid. Highly recommended!

Will be using this. Works very well. Thanks!

Beautiful app for those who grew up in church and want to revisit those memories. The music might be old, but the words still hold the same powerful message! Great for quiet time.

This is version 2.0 but no sound with play! Anybody has same problem???

One of the best hymnal apps out there! Amen.

I have downloaded several online Hymnals...and this is by far the best. Well worth the price. The only problem is that it has kept me up until 4 AM going through all my favorites! Awesome- Thank you so much guys.

Thanks for Update. Good job. It is amazing how many hymns I want to look up are included. Nice layout, easy search, the piano is nice. Thanks!

This is an amazing tool for hymns. It has great features and is good to help the word of Christ dwell in us richly. This is also good for groups with no musicians because it can play the songs but itself and you can turn looping on. Great for devotions etc. Tell others! May God bless you through this, for His glory!

The last time I scanned through the apps store was last June 2011 trying to find a hymn book with the sheets and easy to find but there was none. Last month, I scanned a whole hymnbook to make it available in my iPad and ended up having 1.6G file. Frustrating! So, I tried to search the apps store again, and finally found this app that I believe is great for all seasons! You have the music sheets available, and even print them if you like! The added music to learn hymns you are not familiar is now easy with this application. I think the best of all, it is just 366 MB, very small space for your limited iPhone or iPad. I can also use this as plug and play especially during funeral services or even in fellowships where pianists or instrumentalists are not available! Endorsing this to my church mates and other pastors! A must buy apps for all Christians! I hope the maker of this app can consider doing other hymns, which I like but is not found in this app.
