Saddleback Notes App Reviews

I just downloaded the update and lost the notes I had from last week. Yes, the free notes I added in the yellow area disappeared after I closed the app on Sunday, but the message notes were still there. Im hoping that it works better this Sunday. I really like the idea of having my notes at my fingertips.

UPDATE: everything works!! Notes are still there even after closing app & clearing from cache. Finally figured out how to use highlighter! Saddleback you hit this one out of the park! No other church is this cool, up-to-date, & so much fun!!

Every since they updated this app this week, the sermons will no longer load. Good app...when it works :(

This would be a very groovy app. if my notes did not vanish every week. Last week all my notes in the yellow area vanished. This week everything vanished except for a single line on the yellow side. I know I am not the only one with this issue. I dont know what the issue is, but for now Ill keep my faith where it belongs and not with this app.

Week one was rough... Lots of problems. Fixed week two!!

This is the best thing since sliced bread!!! My whole family is using it. As Pastor Rick said "paper is 2012." Love this!

The erase erases entries not just the entry you would like to erase. My wish would be that the notes I have written on mu IPad would sync with my Notes on my IPhone. I would be than happy to help test any changes you make to this app.

My iPhone App Store updates was hanging, stuck, until I deleted this app.

I can finally stop emailing myself all the notes I take during pastor Rick sermon. Thank you and I love this app!!

New features added on the app make it much better, especially portrait mode cause thats the mode I use the most. Its great to have the notes always in your pocket.

Ive been using this app since January 2013 and almost 20% of the time, I have to copy my friends notes due to the app deleting all my notes (for the current message). It has happened to my other iPhone friends as well. Its a double-edge sword, because want to use it and like it, but when it crashes at the end of a message, you lose a little joy. I highly recommend having someone else to copy from as a backup. If youre luck enough to get all notes - Email yourself a copy ASAP! Like others have said, there are no backups. If you lose your device, you lose everything. It would be nice if you could backup "somewhere in the cloud." Evernote, GoogleDocs, or even a Saddleback Church login for syncing would be VERY appreciative. Maybe the next version will resolve this issue. Another thing Id like to have is the ability to delete messages when I want, but no option for that yet.

I like the idea of the app but its clumsy and needs more work. When exporting you need to be in landscape mode, if youre in portrait mode the notes get cut off. I also had issues when I tried to undo things. If you highlight something and do something else then try to un-highlight there is no way to do it, unless you re-highlight with white. There should be a remove option or no highlight as a color option. Also, when I hit highlight with only part of the highlight selected and the same color it put in a return, then I could remove the return. The undo button wouldnt do anything. My final problem was when I clicked out of the app for a second and went back in the app rebooted and I lost all of my notes. I was pretty frustrated by this, but I look forward to these problems being fixed. I think the app has great potential. I would love for there to be an export to Evernote and/or Dropbox option in the future. Update: version 1.01 has fixed the text from cutting off on the side when exporting via email. However, the bottom of the outline now cuts off. Update: version 1.20 is working great! Thanks for integrating Evernote and Dropbox! I would like to let you know that the Evernote syncing is not working with evernotes two-factor authentication.

Saves paper and lets me sync.

No good!! Each update does not help. Keeps freezing & then I lose my notes.

To avoid losing my data I must tap done then re-open. Otherwise I lose my notes. Looking forward to next bug fix. It is nice to be to give my tithe online without writing check.

Since iOS 7 it keeps crashing and note saving your notes, what a pain. I hope it gets fixed soon!

Enjoy the Apps simplicity and effectiveness.

I like the idea of this app and use it, but it is an exercise in patience as it crashes and you lose all typing you input if you dont save it. Also, you cant save it without closing app and starting again, so you continuously have to close it and open it. Inevitably I will end up copying info I missed from my wifes written notes while Im waiting to re-open app.

I love having all my notes in one place and I dont have note sheets all over the car.

The app doesnt have a save button, so if it crashes or you accidentally close it youll lose your notes. Best alternative is to occasionally hit the "Done" button and reopening the app.
