Print option

The Bible Study and Journal sections of the app do not have the option to share/print. Nor can you copy to paste. That would be a good update for those wanting to print.

Love this app

Best Bible note taking app EVER!!

Anarque

Premier point il est pas possible de faire un essai de l’application gratuitement j’ai donc été contraint de payer pour me rendre contre que cette application ne prend pas en charge le français alors qu’une pub a été faite sur Instagram France. De plus ça ne génère pas les serments correct, j’ai fait un essai et alors que je faisais un sermon pour présenter l’application ça m’a rédigé un serment sur la foi alors que je n’ai même pas évoquer un verset biblique une seule fois.

Connection issues

Not great, unstable

Android app

Pls make an android for this… thank u…

Best one on the store

The price is right and the feature set is huge. Competitor apps have silly pricing structures and lack a lot of the features. Glad I found this one.

Great! But…

I love this app. It does what it says it does. But when I receive text or email and navigate off the app and return back to it. The recording tries to reconnect but can’t. I end up having to stop the recording and do another recording. Please help with this issue.

Update
Now it’s lagging cant transcribe message.
Update

Love it, but 1 issue and 1 suggestion

I love everything this app has to offer, but one issue I had with it is that I recorded a sermon playing on another device to have it transcribed, and it showed something entirely different. It kinda sounded like my bible notes turned into a sermon, not even close to what I played. I’m wanting to try it again with a different sermon I missed once my church uploads it.

I actually would like that to remain a feature (one that scans your notes and turns it into a sermon, connecting related passages and our reflections, maybe also offering to refine our insights for more accurate understanding of The Word.

Not easy to navigate

Can’t record a sermon off of YouTube. Says links are invalid and won’t let me 😭 kinda useless unless physically recording in persona sadly

Thanks for the review! Sorry to hear about the reconnection issue - that's definitely frustrating and we will look into it as soon as possible. In the meantime, try enabling Do Not Disturb while recording to avoid interruptions. We appreciate your patience and feedback!

Record Reflect Remember Key

That’s what’s key for me being able to record whether it be a sermon, notes, journaling, my thoughts after meditation or studying. But having a space for it all…
3/8/26: paid trial price- testing a few apps to find the ONE
Downloaded the app Monday worked superb. Friday morning it didn’t mark my daily streak no problem not concerned much about that. Friday night after a few hours in worship & prayer, yes a few hours, I’m a worshipper. I went to the Word, then I went to put in a journal entry….
3/13/26: The app froze - then nothing. It was illumination and it froze. Thankfully my God said take a picture.
3/14/26: Saw there was an Update
Ok I do enjoy this app, installed the Update.
11 Sermons Just Gone.
2 stars as a Minister in Training I think I need my sermons. But I do enjoy the other features. Don’t think I will renew 4/9/26 Will probably stick with Goodnotes, my MDiv notes are there but will pray on it and see where he leads.

Amazing with room to improve

This app is fantastic. Transcribes very accurately. I love the devotional feature. It takes the stress off of focusing more on note-taking than actually listening to a sermon.

The app is clearly made for sermons not just speeches in general. The AI identifies key concepts, breaks up a sermon into sections, and offers different types of layout (full summary, study guide, discussion guide, and a practical application guide).

This is quite an arsenal.

In Live mode you can add footnotes that are time-stamped. And it has a whole built-in Bible to refer to so that you don’t have to leave the app.

SUGGESTIONS:
1. More Bible versions. Only has ESV, KJV (not NKJV), and ASV. While the church I go to uses the ESV it would be nice to at least have NIV and/or NRSV. Everyone has their preferences but more variety would be great!

2. An alert if recording stops on its own. Critical alerts will stop the recording. I suggest using a Focus mode that nothing can bypass when you are recording to avoid this.

3. Ability to correct mistakes. While speech to text is great it isn’t perfect, and as the user I need to be able to edit something that was incorrectly transcribed preferably in Live mode. Most of the time these mistakes are corrected during actual processing but not always.

4. Automatically delete “umms” and “uhhs” and bridge the gap between long pauses.

Not sure how many of these are viable but for $5/mo it’s great.

Hi Mr__Meow, thank you so much for this thoughtful review! This kind of feedback means a lot to me! 1. NIV is coming in the next couple of weeks, so stay tuned! More translations are on the way as we work through licensing with publishers. 2. Great point - some interruptions (like phone calls) are unavoidable due to iOS limitations, but we'll add an in-app tip to help you minimize them. 3. Transcript editing + a post-recording cleanup pass are both on the roadmap and coming soon! 4. Love this idea - we'll look into auto-removing filler words and smoothing long pauses. Thanks again for the encouragement and the great suggestions. More good things are coming! 🙏 Please don't hesitate to reach out if you need anything.

It does not work for me

I have tries over 5 times and this app doesn't work for me as it is promoted. I have asked for a refund and I have been denied 3 times.

Near Excellent

I’m amazed at how well this app works. I have tried it both at church and other Christian talks and it is just amazing. The only thing that would make it perfect would be able to use my iPencil for underlining or drawing circles around certain words. Great program, can’t wait to give it 5 stars! Eric

Hi Eric, this made my day, thank you! Apple Pencil support is a great idea - iPad specific features are definitely on our radar as we keep building. Really appreciate the kind words! 🙏

Immerse yourself in the sermon

Sit back or lean forward in your pew seat and enjoy the sermon without scrambling to jot down everything the minister says. I can finally be caught up in the moment. I also won’t forget the key elements of the sermon or forget all together what was said the very next day. I really like the quotes. Those are easy “truth bombs” that can really wreak havoc to the enemy’s plans for someone.

Response from developer

This is exactly why we built Sermon Scribe - thank you for putting it so perfectly! Being fully present in the moment is what it's all about. And love that the quotes are hitting home for you. Those "truth bombs" are powerful, and we’re glad the app helps get them into your hands (and heart). Blessings! 🙏

Wow!

I’ve tried other Bible Note Taker apps. Sermon Scribe is by far the best! It’s loaded with extras. Doesn’t get any better than this.

Sermon Scribe: Bible Notetaker

Absolutely the best Bible App I have ever used. No need to make an extra purchase or to go to multiple places within the app. Everything you need to study the Bible is right here in the app. Greek word study, Hebrew word study, chapter analysis, verse analysis, SOAP Method. It's all there in one place. Download today!

Ryan, thanks for the review! I am glad you're getting a lot out of the app. Please don't hesitate to reach out if you would like anything else added :)

Keep going

Keep trying

Love this app - could have a couple improvements

Overall this app is amazing. I love the ability to create a devotional off of the messages. One thing that would be nice would be able to select the devotional length based on message and not overall in the system. For example, I would like a 7 day devotional on a Sunday sermon, but a 3 day devotional on a Wednesday sermon.

I feel one huge miss on the app is not being family share compatible. My wife and daughter would love to use this app as well, but we certainly are not going to pay triple as a family.

Response from developer

Hi SudoSmitty, thanks for the review! You can actually change the devotional length to 3, 5, or 7 days in the Settings tab — though I realize that's not very intuitive, so I'll work on making it easier to find. As for family sharing, you can use the same login to access notes and content across devices. Creating new recordings does require separate memberships currently, but we're considering family plans soon — stay tuned! Don't hesitate to reach out if you need anything else!
