Trinity Psalter Hymnal

Act Five Software

About this app

Intended as a supplement to the print and digital editions of the Trinity Psalter Hymnal (https://www.trinitypsalterhymnal.org/), the Trinity Psalter Hymnal app features the full text and music of the songbook, as well as tune recordings (professional and high-quality MP3 recordings to come soon in a future upgrade). Some key features of the app include: searchable full text, browsable title and first line index, favorite songs list, advanceable bookmark for working through the songs one by one, and looping of a tune for the number of stanzas in each song. The mobile app is a great resource for planning worship, learning new songs, and singing along in family devotions.

Future app upgrades and features are being developed to include professional and high-quality MP3 tune recordings, browsable hymn table of contents, and robust Scripture and tune indexes akin to those in the print editions. By purchasing and downloading digital editions of the Trinity Psalter Hymnal, the purchaser agrees to the TPH Digital End User Agreement.

Ratings and reviews

Glad it's here, but a bit disappointed. First of all, it took forever. The iPhone version has been out for ages. I expected with all that development time the app would be pretty good but it is subpar compared to the iPhone app of the same price. No dark theme. The tune playbacks are low quality midi recordings, not the actual piano recordings the iPhone app has. I'm glad it's finally on Android, but disappointed that it's the same price as the iPhone version when it's clearly not as good

Great collocation of Psalms and hymns! The audio files need to be fixed. There are long pauses in between verses that make it difficult to sing along with the audio. If the audio was fixed and the scrolling functionality was stronger, this would be a 5 star app.

This app has done everything advertised without glitches for me, & works w/out WiFi. The bookmark and favorites features are great. It's helped me learn tunes much faster. One suggestion is if we could pick which of the 4-part harmonies we want to hear rather than hearing all 4 (SATB). That's a big ask of course. 😆 Thank you, Act Five Software, for your stellar work on this very helpful product! The Psalms are such a comfort and help. Some favorite selections: 11A, 21A, 25A, 32A, 103C, 143A.
