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.
Thank you! Works great.
I have made use of this app on many occasions in various settings. Thank you for updating it to work with ICS. Keep up the good work. How about a complete LSB app?
Great job in designing this. Better than the physical book with more resources.
As far as I can tell, it contains everything that's in the book Pastoral Care Companion from CPH. And it's easy to use.
This is very excellent what i am looking for so found it at last. Many thanks. Diane f c
