Spirit Notes - Christian Notes 4+

Been using this to document Bible study notes. It’s so good, it needs more downloads. My favorite feature is the verse population. It’s so helpful! No more copy paste. You can also add pictures, simple formatting, tags, preachers, audio files with timestamps. If we’re doing additions to this app at all, I’d love to see photo size adjustment, font change abilities, and the ability to modify the timestamps similar to how we would adjust the verses afterward (scroll.) Other than that, more sort options in folders (it automatically sorts by last edited, but I’d prefer different choices or in-line custom sorting) collapsible sections by title (the ability to title set certain parts of notes) and section breaks with titles for the audio would be amazing. I love the app though, incredibly grateful for it.

So far out of all the note apps I have tried to use at church this is by far the best. That being said there is still one thing I’m having a hard time with. The time stamps, I absolutely love the feature of being able to record my pastors sermons and having time stamps to go back in a quick pinch but everything is time stamped. I would love to time stamp the major points and have indented sub points under them that aren’t time stamped. I don’t need every point I make in my notes to be time stamped, especially when it was typed not even 10 seconds after the previous one. I don’t like how the format with the time stamp has everything in a single line, because when I go back this makes it harder for me to pick out the key topics discussed for that sermon. Granted I know I can highlight, indent, underline, or bold the keep point but that lack of extra format is a negative for me. I found out that in typing a sermon that’s not recorded I can go back and use bullet points but there are no “sub points” so again it’s hard to distinguish the big sections from their sub points. I am big into organization so this could just be a preference of mine and no one else feels this way but I just wish there was more to formatting recorded notes. I love everything else about the app I just wish there was more choices when how we can format our notes.

I am really enjoying this app. This past Sunday my pastor had 28 references to texts outside of our main text. With the auto fill feature I was able to not only note all of them but was able to read along with him just by writing the book, chapter, and verse.
The record feature is also helpful for going back to those long quotes to get them right in my notes.
The app is so young and I look forward to growing with it.

Things I hope to see in the future are
1. The ability to add bullet points
2. The ability to do handwritten notes with the pencil
3. Text boxes

I could go on telling of the practical uses for this app but really I just think you need to try it for yourself.
