### 1/5 — Not super impressed

*2025-06-04*

Scrolling issues make it unusable. Kind of a waste of money for expository teaching anyway. My $5 definitely could have been better spent. Apple notes is much more usable for me.

**Developer response:** Hi. Thank you for the feedback. I recommend to try it again.

### 1/5 — Broken App When Export to PDF

*2024-08-05*

I disappointed about this app when I want to export to PDF. It stopped working like freezing until I had to shut it down. So I deleted it.

### 2/5 — Too inflexible for my workflow

*2023-05-19*

I appreciate deeply an Apple-centric sermon writing app that uses iCloud storage. The idea is super simple but seemingly no one else is doing it. My main issues stem from how inflexible the editor is. There’s no way to organize sermons the way I personally write and preach, so for me this app isn’t going to work quite yet.

**Developer response:** Hi. Thank you for the feedback. I recommend to try it again.

v7.7.81

### 4/5 — Main Verses Placement

*2022-12-08*

Is it possible to place the main verses before the introduction section? Most times you read the text prior to giving the introduction. Also, too many topic. Would be better if simplified to main verses, introduction, intro phrase, points with sub point & conclusion.

**Developer response:** Hi! Thank you for your feedback! In the next release (v7.4.94) I will add the option that you are asking to be able to change the position of the Main Verse and the Introduction. Great idea! 
About the topics you can remove the ones that you don’t want to use.
😀👍🏻

December 11: Updated v7.4.94 (with your suggestion) is already in the AppStore. Enjoy! 😉

### 5/5 — Print

*2022-01-16*

Thanks
