Episcopalian Hymnal A collection of about 400 hymns with full lyrics and full music scores for the Episcopal congregations. This app is for you if you want to have a useful hymnal on your iPad with full music scores and lyrics for the hymns. Perfect for the church musician, congregational singing, home visiting, or personal devotion.

You can quickly and easily find the hymn that you want either by hymn title, first line or hymn number. You can also swipe to go to the next/previous song by number, title or bookmark, or zoom in for larger notes and texts.

I think this is great
This is such a great start, I am so great full for this app. Very clear and easy to use.
United StatesNot as advertised
Absolutely no service music and many hymns on the list are not available. This is absolute rubbish and I will be requesting a refund! BUYER BEWARE!!
United StatesNeeds work
Many hymns missing or incomplete. Index by number is a nice feature, but this app needs work! Wish I could return it for a refund.
United StatesEpiscopal Hymnal
On a scale from one to five I would give this a zero. I did an online search for Episcopal Hymnal with audio. The description I read had 280 hymns with 280 audio files. Absolutely not true. I attempted to play aprox 40 files and only about 8 had audio files. Hardly truth in advertising in a area where one expects truth. Also the price given on the first site was 5.99 but it became 7.99 in the iTunes Store
United StatesDisappointing
I just purchased, hoping to find playable hymns... But of the eight planned for next Sunday, two were not found at all, and ONLY ONE had the audio file. Nice idea, but grossly incomplete.
United StatesGreat hymnal
This is a great app and improving as they add more hymns. Thanks.
United StatesFlawed start
I really like having the hymnal on iPad. However, a number of hymns are missing. It is frustrating when a hymn is called for to enter the number only to find it is not available and I must quickly grab the print edition in the pew to dig for the hymn. I cannot imagine why the owners of these copyrights are expecting to gain by holding out. The net result is to temporarily frustrate churchgoers. Eventually the technology will win out. Most of the missing hymns weren't all that popular anyway. The longer they stay out of digital publication, the less popular (and less valuable) they will become. However, this app is not quite ready for prime time.
