Old sermons
Since the update the sermons don’t go back very far. I wanted to save some old sermons in Tremont and Elgin Illinois and they are gone. Iphone
We'll look into that on the apps. As a workaround, you can access old sermons using the Advanced Filters in the browser version at https://accentral.apostolicchristian.org
Hymns tab functions
Under the hymns tab, might you consider adding a progress bar and a playback speed function? Many of the songs play much faster than we typically sing them. This would enhance an already invaluable tool for song leaders who are unskilled piano players. Thank you, God bless.
Thanks for the your message. This feature is already there. Just touch the brown player bar at the bottom and it opens the Now Playing screen with progress bar and speed settings.
Extend Time Before App Refreshes
I often listen to a message (could be a Sermon or Around the Table message, etc.) while I do my morning exercises. When done, I stop the audio but don’t close the app entirely, leaving the app as is. The next day, when I am ready to pick up the sermon where I left off, I find that the app "resets" so that I am back at the home screen and the sermon I was listening to is "closed." I then have to search the list again, and depending on what it was, it may take a bit of filtering to find.
Recently I went back to the app only about six hours after listening that morning, but even after only six hours, it reset everything again, making me have to go find the sermon.
I’m sure there are reasons why developers might want an app to refresh upon entry, but it seems like the time before refreshing could be extended a bit. I regularly use the audio book app Hoopla, for instance, and it won't refresh unless it's been more than 24 hours. That makes it nice because I can resume listening quickly without having to go find and open my book.
Thanks for all the good work on this app. I use it every day. Blessings.

Update Hymn search program
The hymns need more search options like by song number; I can't seem to get it to work this way. (Says completed, but not true!)
Not all hymns are listed; needs updated!
Not a very efficient program! Sorry!
Songs are searchable by number, but some hymn books are not in the system yet so if you are searching for those, they won't be found. We depend upon volunteers to do the work of typing lyrics, scanning music and creating the reference music before they can be added to AC Central.
Sermon Search Feature
On the web browser you can no longer search sermons by topic or speaker. Is this something that will be added back at some point?
We have now transitioned to AC Central 3.0 which includes new apps and website. Search has been restored to the web version.
New icon called Topical Services!
I'd really like to see the topical services put together with a separate icon like "Around the Table"! These services are so valuable and sometimes a little more difficult to find. Thank you!
Website Not working
I know of several people who said they couldn't access AC Central on the internet anymore. For several weeks too. Only loads and loads...https://accentral.apostolicchristian.org/sermons does not work... Photo attached:
I have tried multiple browsers and none work.
Thanks
Thankfully, the current developers found this latest issue and fixed it quickly. It should be working normally now. Let us know if you continue to experience problems.
When searching for singings using the search / filter function, you need to type "singing" into the "Search keywords" field, which on Apple devices is hard to see. (A recent glitch changed the background of that field to gray.)
Regarding adding hymns, we are dependent upon volunteers to type all the lyrics and create the music. Unfortunately, they don't move too quickly.
Currently, the app contains Zion's Harp, Hymns of Zion, Hymns of Christmas, Zion's Melodies and a majority of Tabernacle Hymns, which is the book currently in process.
