I would like to make a playlist available to all the Primary Parents in the ward (via Gospel Living App if possible). I cant see a way to do this in Sacred Music..... is there something available out there that works for both Android and ios?

Good afternoon! I’m not sure if this is what you mean, but I have included instructions to share your playlist (this applies to the iOS version of Sacred Music).

Go to your playlist and click the Share icon at the top and share your playlist. I’m not sure exactly how that works with Android.

Here is a screenshot of how to do it in iOS.

This feature is not available on the Android version. What can we do to remedy that?

The best way to suggest features is to use the "Send Feedback" options in Settings, in the app.

I guess this never got resolved cause we're trying to do the same thing in our ward and can't share the created playlist! On my Google pixel phone there's no option for sharing. My music leader who created the playlist shares it with me but I can't click on the link - such a bummer! Hope the developers can remedy this soon for the future!

I recommend you send feedback from the app for this feature. If only one or two people report it as a feature request, it might be lower on the priority list than if hundreds (or more) are requesting this feature. These forum pages are not feature requests and those who set the developer's priorities do not visit here.

I don't know if this helps, but in order for the link to open the device has to have the Sacred Music App installed. I tested that out with my son and my husband but they both have iPhones. Once they installed the Sacred Music app the link worked, but when they didn't have the app installed it wouldn't do anything when they tried to click on it.

Once I got my playlist created I copied the share link in the Sacred Music app and I used https://www.qrcode-monkey.com to create a free qr code. I put the qr code png into a flier with instructions so it would be super easy for the families to open. I don't know if it will work with android phones but I hope so. Here is a link to the flier incase anyone wants to modify it for their ward. https://bit.ly/Primary-Program-Playlist-Note

This works for iOS Sacred Music, but not Android Sacred Music, unfortunately.

Did the sacred music app remove the share button? I made a playlist for my primary and can no longer share it. There is no option to do so and there is no feedback or help button on the app either.

I’m also wondering the same thing. Can’t see any share icon, such a bummer.

You can send feedback in the overflow menu (three dots in the top right) > Settings > Send Feedback.

I just did my request to have this feature returned to the app. If you are reading this and want the feature returned, go to the settings on the app and "Send Feedback" it only took 2 min. maybe if a bunch of us send request they will do it?!

So I got into each song when you go to where it is playing the 3 bars at the top have a way to share, but it takes them directly to the lds website rather then to in their app on their phone so sharing isn't working by text which is the whole reason for an app on the phone its just easier for our teachers for access

As of today...July 8, 2025 this is still an issue?!!!!!

"SHARE" a playlist and it takes the recipient to the home screen.

I know the tech group can do better at this.

Are both the sender and receiver on the latest version of the Sacred Music app?

I just tried this as well. Both sender and receiver have the latest version of the app. It takes the receiver to the home page just like stated above.

I'm experiencing the same thing. Recipient is taken to the home screen, not the shared list. Hoping this gets fixed soon!!

Same issue on my end. I cannot even get a link I share with myself on the same phone to work (Android Pixel 8 with all updates for phone and app).
