Saddleback Notes App Reviews

This is a fantastic idea! I wish every church embraced technology like this! There are just 5 things I noticed that Id love to see added in a update... 1) iCloud sync doesnt seem to work. Notes I take on my iPad dont show up in the iPhone version of the app, & vice versa. I even tried the manual upload and sync buttons (although this really should be automatic), but it still wouldnt push my notes across. So I have to type all notes in twice. 2) The release notes mention a search bar UI, but I cant find it. It also mentions Advanced Settings and a Flurry feature, but I cant find either in the settings menu. 3) Need a option to delete notes. I know that it seems crazy to ever delete a note you took in church, but memory is limited on these devices, so after a few months of taking notes, we might need a way to delete old notes (after printing a hard copy or emailing a copy to ourselves for future reference) 4) There needs to be more past series available so I can write notes when listening to old sermons online or with small groups (ie, Crazymaker series, Positive ID, etc) 5) In addition to Dropbox & Evernote syncing, Id love an option for Google Drive. Other than that, I love it!

Great app. I watch messages online via smart TV, and this app on the iPhone helps me keep track without having to open other windows on my laptop and print sermon notes... Already right here! And, if I do want to print them-- the app allows you to mail them to yourself (or anyone) and you can print. Still easier than printing via website! Great app if you arent given the hard paper at saddleback.

I love the app but it can be quite unstable. I have lost notes mid-sermon when the app crashes. I tend to save during the sermon just in case it crashes along the way. Also, I think it would be great if the underline tool operated like the highlight tool. The freehand pencil is too hard to use. Thank for the great work on the app, I love taking and storing my notes this way.

It would be a better app if it would stop crashing mid-sermon, and losing my notes. I expect better from Saddleback.

There isnt enough room for sermon notes. Like the paper will just cut off my notes when it reaches the bottom. It will keep taking them but I cant see it or edit it or anything. You need to make the note space a lot bigger for note takers like me.

Love this note taking app! You can take notes during the messages and have them with you on the go after. No more pieces of paper lying about uselessly and unavailable. It makes the act of taking sermon notes infinitely more relevant. They are always there to reference. So pleased. You may also do your tithing through the app.

It works well for general note taking from the lesson, but has some bugs that make me consider switching back to paper: 1) Evernote sync doesnt work. It may be because I have two factor authentication on my EN account , but whatever the reason, it doesnt work. 2) every time I switch to another app, like by bible app, then back to this app, it thinks something else changed my file in iCloud and warns me 3) lately, possibly related to ios 8, it often erases ALL notes taken in the yellow scratchpad area, which is insanely frustrating.

It needs to be updated for iOS 8 and iPhone 6+ screens. Pretty buggy. I love the idea but not the greatest way to deliver. Definitely in need of an update.

Ive used this app since it came out, and its great to have my notes stored. Lately, the notes havent been ready for the 4pm service on Saturday, which is disappointing, because having the notes is the point. Please update the app before the first service. Thanks!

Worked fine. Now says sermon tags wont load and I cant get updated sermon notes. Tried reloading app, didnt help.

The screen is blank. Nothing comes up. It needs to be updated . Please fix.
