In the MTC (for seniors), we learned about using Gospel Library, and that was great. Recently I heard about Scripture Notes and decided to give it a try. WOW! What a wonderful app! I absolutely LOVE it! Being able to format the actual words of scripture is so helpful -- bold and italics as well as underlining, colored text and background. I love being able to see a chapter of scripture as well as the notes I've taken all in one screen! Also included are links to BibleHub, the BlueLetterBible, and Come, Follow Me podcasts. ScriptureNotes also has games to play that help you learn scripture timelines, scripture books in order. Much more coming. Check it out!

I love to study the scriptures, but I've always felt somewhat constrained by many of the existing study tools. I was blown away when I found Scripture Notes. It has so many advanced features built into it, including a powerful search engine, a rich highlighting and note system, and more. Yet it is also very intuitive and easy to use, so it works great for people with all levels of technical skill. My favorite thing about Scripture Notes is it joins together the best of many other resources into one place, such as word definitions, instructive podcasts and videos, and other study tools. It really helps me feel enabled rather than hindered in my study. I'd recommend it to anyone!

Richard Eberting

Very useful, powerful study help. Someone should have done this years ago.

Ron Bjorkman

This is a great app. The collection notes feature allows me to find and organize scriptures on topics of interest quickly. The search feature alone is worth the cost of the app.

Jim Winebrenner

Scripture Notes is a fantastic way to study the scriptures! There are far too many features and benefits to attempt to enumerate here, but it's absolutely worth a try. Actually, you can even try it for free, so there's nothing to lose. Just give it a shot and you'll see what I mean!

Shirley Smith

This app is absolutely amazing. I finally have somewhere to put all my thoughts about scriptures, quotes I love, and connect to resources like Bible Hub and Blue Bible, etc., etc. Best, there is a search that even includes what I've written about a particular scripture. Highly recommend.

Glennis Miller

I like having everything in one place.

Seanalee Bevell

Love this app. And I am very excited to see them add more features. Especially like the tutorial videos to help get the most out of my scripture study. Thank you!!
