Ratings and Reviews
Nice, but needs work to increase speed
I use Hymnals 1, which is effective yet tricky and overly sensitive to accidental page turns. A double tap would be better…hint.
I tried Hymnals 2, but it runs SO SLOW that it is really not useful, because it takes 5 seconds to open files, which means when you have an accidental page turn (see above), you’re going from memory for about 10 seconds until you get back to your other music.
Please improve the page turn gesture, and make this app faster.
Hymnal 2 app - freezes up
I hoped that upgrading to the Hymnal 2 app would help bring about a smooth way to use my iPad for masses. At first the app looked great and everything worked fine. However, in the middle of mass, I suddenly could not access the search button to find a song. That tool bar just wouldn’t come up. I was totally at a loss and had to revert to physical books. This happened on multiple days - with WiFi working just fine. Not acceptable at all. Very disappointed.
Support not helping
I like many of the features that I have seen and I have the Gather3 and use the backup. However I have problems with editing any pdfs that I have imported. For example, I have a Mass setting and I am trying to duplicate and save only certain sections but I can’t find how to do and information on your site is not helpful. Also when I try to contact support the “catcha” submission doesn’t work and won’t let me send a message.
