Is great and one of the only free ones I’ve found. I would love to see some formatting options like bold font and bullet points. ### 3/5 — No category for Bible verses *2023-12-14* Its a good app but it doesn’t have an option to place bible verses. I have to place my bible verse in another place and its kinda annoying. ### 4/5 — Sermon Note *2017-10-23* Just what I needed!!! Nice app ### 4/5 — Love the app *2017-02-16, version 1.1.0* It's very easy to use and it gets the job done! ### 5/5 — Good tool *2016-11-30, version 1.1.0* This is very good tool . Also like the capability to transfer to other device . Been very useful. ### 5/5 — Almost perfect *2016-11-13, version 1.1.0* Great app and love keeping up with sermon notes in this way. Just wish it had capability to underline, bold, highlight, etc. ### 5/5 — YAY! LOVE THIS APP *2016-11-13, version 1.1.0* BLOWN AWAY ### 5/5 — Awesome app *2016-09-24, version 1.0.13* Really handy and awesome app!! ### 5/5 — I use it every week *2016-09-04, version 1.0.13* Once you get the hang of it it's easy to use.

Just move on. Honestly ### 1/5 — Deleted sermons *2021-03-29* Where do I start I love the app and I have been using the app for a few years but my drawback about this particular app if you are recording and you stop/pause the recording and close out of the recording you will completely lose everything you was recording, there’s nothing that tells you or prompts you when closing out the app to hit the back button because that option operates as a saving mechanism, somehow they need to figure out how to revamp this app because it is very frustrating and heartbreaking and disappointing when you have recorded a whole sermon that was not recorded any place else and because you didn’t take that one step and back out of that recording before closing out the app you lose everything and there is no audio recovery option which there should be I hope this review falls in the hand of the developer and also it helps a customer to know what not to do so they will not have this frustrating issue. I pray this review open the eyes of the developer but also help the next person that is thinking about downloading this app it’s a awesome app with a minor defect that needs to be corrected somehow ### 1/5 — Crashing *2019-06-06* Keeps popping up inescapable ads or just black screens and makes me lose everything I haven't saved. I don't want to save every 5 seconds in fear when I could just use a different app. ### 1/5 — Not user friendly. *2019-06-02* The app is very complicated. Not sure how to use it. Not sure where to find the files that was saved. ### 1/5 — Wish there was more... *2018-09-20* There is now way to write note only records sermons ### 1/5 — Review *2018-09-16* This app is horrible it keeps crashing. This has to be at least the third time it crashes in the middle of using the app and I lose all my notes. Doesn’t do an auto recover so you lose all your notes. I will be deleting this app and looking for another one. Don’t pay money for this app not worth your money as it’s not a reliable app to use for taking sermon notes. So unhappy and upset that I keep losing my notes and have to start all over. ### 1/5 — Not able to retrieve all my notes. *2018-08-17* I had a lot stored on here and paid for it and you guys deleted it can’t trust this app to keep my notes on it and now I have to start all over again since I am starting from scratch I might as well use another sermon app, can do anything about the money you stole and won’t give my sermons back but I can at least inform others with this review so they don’t make the same mistakes as me. ### 1/5 — No Apple pencil support *2018-06-09* It is ok for someone who types fast, but there is not an option, that I found, to use a stylus or the Apple pencil. ### 1/5 — Exporting to html is useless *2017-11-05* Not only does it look bad, it doesn’t have everything. Should just be a pdf. ### 1/5 — This App has Great Potentials, However (Josh) *2014-06-01, version 1.0.7* This App should allow the user to delete only the notes they want to delete and not the entire database. Please Revise ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Needs hyperlinks *2025-04-12* The app is good but we need a hyperlink to a bible app ### 5/5 — Notebook *2024-05-14* This is a great book ### 5/5 — I love this app *2020-04-21* Because it’s let speak and record what a blessing it is I thank God for you all keep up the good work ### 5/5 — Sermon is awesome! *2020-04-10* There is a Help tab for you so you can learn all about the app as soon as you have it! I love that I don’t need to bring around a notebook to take notes in and the screen is dark so I won’t disturb others! ### 5/5 — About The App *2020-01-12* This App is awesome and I will be happy to use it just for myself to use for my own sermons ### 5/5 — Sermons *2019-02-14* I love the true gospel sermons on u tube. My Church of Christ Preaching is the bomb ### 5/5 — Just what I was looking for! *2017-05-18* Everything you could need in a sermon note taking app! ### 5/5 — Great *2017-02-12, version 1.1.0* It is a nice app to follow along with the sermon ### 5/5 — Excelente *2016-12-22, version 1.1.0* Super como su uso, lo recomiendo 100% ### 5/5 — Great App *2016-12-02, version 1.1.0* Great App. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
