About this app

Hymnal Voice brings the beloved Tshivenḓa hymn books — Nyimbo dza Vhatendi and
Phalaphala ya Mafhungo-Maḓifha — together with the classic English hymns behind
them. Read, sing, and praise the Lord in church, at home, or far from home.

Free, offline, with no ads.

EVERY HYMN, ALWAYS WITH YOU
• All three books work fully offline — over 400 hymns
• Find any hymn by number, title, or any line of its words
• Large, clear hymn-book typography with adjustable text size
• English translations line by line under the Tshivenḓa, whenever you want them
• Many hymns link to their English original — and back

SING ALONG
• Instrumentals for hundreds of hymns, in five sounds — from cathedral organ
to gentle piano — with adjustable speed that never changes the key
• A short intro gives the starting pitch, then the verses follow

RECORD AND SHARE
• Record yourself singing — recordings stay on your phone unless you choose
to share them
• Tap the lines as you sing and playback shows the words in time with your voice
• Share a recording in the app as a 24-hour status friends can hear, send the
audio to another app, or create a captioned video for your status
• Sing over an instrumental, or add your voice to someone else's recording

THE STORIES BEHIND THE HYMNS
• Hymn writers from the Venḓa mission era, the German chorale tradition, and
the great gospel songwriters — over fifty biographies

Nyimbo dza Vhatendi and Phalaphala have carried Tshivenḓa worship for
generations. This app is for the praise of the Lord.
