5/5I want to love it, but…. (EDITED, MUST-HAVE TOOL)
EDIT: I reached out to Leio either as I wrote this review or very shortly after. He worked with me back and forth through a few emails, and ultimately I was given a refund of the Premium cost. Out of the blue today, he reached out to me again to let me know that version 1.7 has been pushed out with the fixes to the problems mentioned below. The app is fixed! I leave the original review below only as a show of the vision that he has. Leio heard a problem, worked hard to fix it, and then followed up. This type of service is truly extraordinary, and I’m overjoyed that I can have the opportunity to love this app as much as I originally wanted to! Thanks Leio for this tool that can save so much time and organization to a lifelong adventure through the Scriptures! I have to rate a 3, and want to explain why. I have been using Spirit for awhile and really do love the auto-verse input and other features. However, the part that I hate, and makes me somewhat regret my buying of premium is the fact that it seems as though every other note made seems to glitch out as I’m writing it causing me to lose half if not all of the notes that had been taking, in turn creating a ton of double work that really is horrible to my schedule. Further, the handoff between my iPad and my iPhone is not complete and there isn’t a way of forcing a backup that I’ve found yet. This causes further delays and the like. Obviously, both of these faults are clearly promised in the app description. It is just sad to see such a great idea being halfway done. I really do want to LOVE this app, but these two things cause so many headaches. This makes this app just an okay tool. It seems to be good to take notes on if you don’t mind losing them, and won’t need them from another device.

4/5Conflicting Feelings
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.

5/5My favorite app this year!
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.

5/5Great for Expository preaching.
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.

4/5Great app, but…
This is really the best app in the App Store when it comes to taking sermon notes. I can’t speak to the audio recording portion as haven’t used it yet. I love the ability to insert bibles verses as I’m typing, with them displaying very clearly and distinctly. The only thing that has kept me from rating as a 5 star is the lack of being able to create nested bullet points. It only has a single bullet indentation which forces me to add additional markings next to the bullet if I want to create sub-points. If they could add those nested bullet or numeral point options (I.e. “1)”, “2.”, “IV)”, etc), this would be hands down a 5-star for me.
