5 YR UPDATE: I can't believe after 5 years of "development" this app has not gotten any better. This app is still an embarrassment to the LCMS. Come on CPH. It's depressing to see the current state of digital development at cph. This app is unreliable, and looks and functions dated. I can't possibly imagine using this in a service, where I am relying on it to work. Scripture references do not always work when clicked on. Navigation has not been thought out. It's embarrassing to the LCMS.

Great pastoral resource! I use it every day in my visiting. They fixed the notes feature so I can enter hymn texts that aren't already in the hymn section. The psalm tones are a big hero to me, too, since I enjoy chanting the psalms.

Good app, but needs to be a bit more user friendly. For instance, I can add bookmarks, but can't see any way to remove them if I need to. Also, if possible, because I use this app to set up sermons (especially when I'm travelling) it would be nice to be able to flag readings or portions of readings that I'd like to use as my texts for any given Sunday (perhaps assign a year stamp or color code so that I could differentiate between archival and current information).

After more than a year of non-functioning, it works again. And thanks for fixing it do it works in one column.

This application is very helpful and does contain some great resources. The main drawbacks are ease of in app navigation (a search function would help) and the price. I understand the value vs. the print edition but it is still rather expensive. Perhaps some of that money could go to making all of the resources included more easily accessible (psalms for instance). I also have not seen the commentaries mentioned in the description, I'm sure they are there but again navigation needs to be improved.
