Ratings and reviews

I am so thankful this has now been updated to work with newer versions of Android OS! Thanks for providing this resource. It's great to have on hand for the pastoral care situations that arise.

This is such a help for my shut in visits

Great pastoral resource! I use it every day in my visiting. And it works on my Google Pixel 7 now, as well as my Chromebook. The psalm tones are a big help to me, too, since I enjoy chanting the psalms.
