Store description excerpt

Shona Songbook brings the complete Salvation Army hymnal into your hands as a beautifully designed app for Shona-speaking congregations and individuals. Whether you are at a Sunday service in Harare, a fellowship meeting in the diaspora, or singing at home with your family, every hymn and chorus you need is always available, even without an internet connection. The app contains over 426 hymns and 196 choruses, covering every section of the Salvation Army Shona hymnal. From beloved worship songs and Christmas carols to the invitation hymns sung during altar calls, the full breadth of the songbook is organized and searchable in one place. You can browse by song number, explore themed collections such as Worship, Christ, Salvation, Faith, and Warfare, or simply scroll through the complete hymn list at your own pace. Finding the right song takes seconds, not minutes of page-flipping. The app includes an instant hymn search that scans every title, English translation, and lyric line as you type. Start typing a phrase you remember from a verse, and the matching songs appear immediately with highlighted snippets showing where your words were found. This works whether you search in Shona or English, and it works entirely offline because the full hymn database lives on your device. Beyond hymns and choruses, the app includes the eleven Doctrines of The Salvation Army in Shona (Zvitendo zveHondo yoRuponiso) and a collection of traditional prayers and blessings (Minamato), including Muteuro waShe (The Lord's Prayer), Makomborero (The Lord Bless Thee from Numbers 6), and Ngoni dzaShe (The Grace of God). The reading experience is designed for real-world use during worship services. You can adjust the text size to suit your eyesight, keep the screen awake so it never dims mid-song, and switch between vertical scrolling and a page-by-page verse view for hands-free reading. Songs can be saved to your personal favorites list for quick access during meetings and events. Every song is organized into eight themed collections that follow the structure of the official hymnal: Worship, Christ, Events, Family, Salvation, Faith, Warfare, and Heaven. Within each collection, songs are grouped under their original section headings, making it easy to find songs for child dedications, weddings, funerals, harvest thanksgiving, swearing-in of soldiers, and every other occasion in the life of a Salvation Army corps. A direct song-number keypad lets you jump instantly to any hymn or chorus by its number, exactly as a worship leader would call it from the podium. Whether you are looking for Nziyo 1 or Chorus 196, you are one tap away. Shona Songbook was built for the Salvation Army community in Zimbabwe and across the diaspora. It requires no internet connection after installation, uses minimal storage, and is designed to feel at home on any Android phone or tablet.
