## What is Scripture Notes?

Get More Revelation in Less Time. 10X Your Scripture Study with a Personal Research Assistant
 
We all know what it feels like to read the scriptures and not feel fulfilled at getting the revelation you want. It's all too easy to get into a rut of reading a chapter and never digging for meaning because the tools available don't support finding patterns in the scriptures.
 
This is why we created Scripture Notes to let you get more revelation in less time by searching the scriptures in deeper, more meaningful ways. Then when you record the revelation you receive, you show that you cherish it, and you receive more.
 
Scripture Notes’ unique instant note system gives you the ability to quickly record all your inspiration on any verse, even inside search results. It features Boolean search for complex search queries, instant access to outside resources like Webster’s 1828 dictionary, Blue Letter Bible for Hebrew and Greek definitions, Bible Hub for 29 Bible translations, and for those in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, you can access the LDS Citation Index project and the complete Joseph Smith Translation.
 
Our library is constantly expanding and now includes other works like the Apocrypha, Book of Jasher, Lectures on Faith, and more.
 
In this initial stage of release, we are focused on key features so local storage is not active yet (but will be in the future). As a cloud-based app you will need to register for an account to save your data. This account is a modest subscription to continue to develop the software. Cancelling your subscription will put you on a free version of the app which is still very powerful but removes extra books in the library and a Collection Note feature.
 
As early release software, Scripture Notes is a stable platform but has limited features when compared to the desktop version. It is already very powerful with Boolean searches and the ability to create Collection Notes, but we are working to make it the best mobile scripture study app available. There are many more features to come.
 
Commenting on our desktop version:
 
Dr. Brent Top, retired Dean of Religious Studies at BYU, said “I was blown away how good it is.”
 
Brad Constantine, Retired Seminary & Institute Teacher, said “In my years of gospel and scripture study, I’ve never seen a study tool that is as easy to use yet as flexible and powerful as Scripture Notes. You can easily be the gospel doctrine scholar you’ve always dreamed of with this powerful tool. This is a very valuable gospel study resource.”
 
Deb Malone saihttps://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/d, “When I first came across Scripture Notes I didn't see the value or use for them (sorry!), but I WANTED to. So I watched a few of the videos.... the more I watched, the more I was intrigued. It is the tutorials that come with the app that make the whole thing invaluable! Finally, for the first time in my life, I'm not just reading the scriptures.... I'm studying them! That is a huge blessing to me and I cannot wait to dig in further and learn sooo much more! Thank you so very much for your effort and work that has been put into this to make it such a blessing to those like myself!”

### 1/5 — This is not a free app

*2026-06-17, version 0.99.65*

Would be nice if they disclosed in App Store that this is NOT a free app.  After a 14 day free trial, you have to pay to continue using. Feels a little deceptive to me.

### 1/5 — Poor design

*2026-04-17, version 0.99.56*

Awful app. Can’t find settings. Can’t delete my trial when I go to leave A. message. I can’t scroll up and down my message to look for errors or to change wording. This was put out before someone figured how awful
 it’s design an application where   it’s not finished.

### 5/5 — My review from Hawaii

*2025-11-16, version 0.99.41*

I love the AI assistant for any gospel question and life questions I have

### 2/5 — Mobile App Needs Work

*2025-09-07, version 0.99.34*

I want to like this app and the desk top version works great but I’m on my phone a lot.  

I can’t figure out how to move a scripture to a CN, I cannot update the library Home Screen, and the app crashed twice during one SS lesson.  

Also I’d love a dark mode.

### 5/5 — A real revelation tool

*2025-09-02, version 0.99.31*

This is going to sound a bit crazy. My wife recently had a dream she felt was inspired and had to write it down. When she shared it with me we worked together to interpret this experience that is very sacred to us. I also experimented in plugging it into “Daniel” — the Ai assistant. And wow! Not only did it validate everything we were considering by providing the scripture references we were pondering but provided additional insight supported by scripture that we had not yet considered. Ironic its name is Daniel! Just an incredible blessing! And an awesome tool I will continue to use in my scripture study. Highly Highly recommend.

### 2/5 — Not for iPads.

*2025-04-07, version 0.99.12*

I keep giving this app a try. I have found some helpful things from it. But am disappointed it does not have an iPad version.

### 1/5 — I hate this

*2025-04-01, version 0.99.12*

I downloaded this app and but decided not to use it because of the monthly charge. So I stopped but will still charged $10.71!!!

### 5/5 — Finally!

*2025-03-22, version 0.99.12*

I was initially hesitant to try this app due to some negative reviews, but after watching the helpful video tutorials, I decided to give it a fair shot—and I’m so glad I did! Though the app is still in its early stages (currently version 0.99.12) and can feel complex at first, the excellent video instructions make it much easier to navigate and unlock its potential. Here’s what I’ve discovered:

My Thoughts:

Mobile Experience: The app shines on a computer, where the larger screen lets you toggle notes on and off for each verse with ease. On mobile devices, the smaller screen makes navigation a bit less convenient, but all my notes are still accessible in the open panes. It currently uses a mobile phone format on iPads, and I’d love to see a native iPad version in the future.

Early Development: Since it’s not yet at version 1.0, I understand it’s still evolving—and I’m excited to see how it grows over time!

What I Love About the App:

Verse Notes: I love adding notes to any verse and seeing them right alongside the text (especially on the computer). For me, this feature is a game-changer compared to the Gospel Library app, where notes are harder to glance at.

Collection Notes: This is a fantastic tool for organizing thoughts on specific topics. I can create a master note and still add individual notes for each verse—perfect for focused study.

Powerful Search: The Boolean search functionality, complete with parentheses and the ability to exclude words, is impressive. Results appear in a separate panel, making it easy to refine searches on the fly. Multiple searches appear in a new pane (non-destructive).

External Links & AI Assistant: Automatic links to resources like Bible Hub, Blue Letter Bible, and the LDS Citation Index are incredibly handy. Plus, the built-in AI Assistant is a great bonus for digging deeper.

Flexible Note-Taking: I can add quotes, definitions, or any text to the verses I’m studying and even link them together, creating a richer study experience.

Quote Management: The option to mark notes as quotes and search for them later is a thoughtful touch—it makes finding key quotes a breeze.

Whether I’m studying on my computer or checking notes on my phone or iPad, everything syncs beautifully. I can access all my verse notes and Collection Notes anywhere, which is a huge plus. There are so many other amazing features, too! I’m truly grateful for the effort that’s gone into this app and happy to support its development. With continued improvement and community backing, I’m confident it will become an even more valuable tool for scripture study. 
Great job, Tom!

### 5/5 — Great app for the times you have to use a phone instead of a computer!

*2025-03-17, version 0.99.11*

So I have been using the Scripture Notes app on my computer for a few months and have been amazed at how it has opened up and revolutionized my scripture study.  Recently I went on a trip where I did not have room to bring my laptop computer, and with great resignation I turned to the iPhone version of the app.  I ended up very pleased with the results!  It is not quite as nice as working with the app on the computer, where you can spread things out better and work more easily with multiple panes open and searches and things like that, but it is more than adequate considering the lack of screen space available on a phone.  It worked out much better than I had hoped!  I did not feel at all deprived in my scripture study.  I just had to be willing to deal with one pane at a time, but it was much less of an issue than I had feared it would be, especially temporarily.  I think my being already familiar with the app in the full version was helpful.

That being said, I echo the hopes of those who have asked for an iPad version.  I have an iPad with a computer keyboard that is easier for me to bring with me in my frequent travels than the laptop, but I have been disappointed in trying to run the full internet version of the app on the iPad.  It just doesn’t work as well with the iPad as it does on a computer, and the iPhone version of the app does not transfer well into the iPad either.  There just needs to be something in between for the iPad. I am looking forward to the further developments that are in the works!

### 5/5 — Grateful for Scripture Notes!

*2025-03-12, version 0.99.10*

A great blessing for those who learn to use it! Love it!

I would love to see a tab that allows for a prefilled, but editable, timeline and perhaps a genealogy of the characters who are found in scripture.
