iOS: Notes

When reading or listening to a passage gives you ideas or feelings, Notes are a great way to journal, linked directly to a Bible text. You can keep your thoughts private, just for your own use (this is the default), share them so Friends can see them, or add them as a Public Note so anyone can see them.

Add a Note

There are many ways to add Notes:

1. From the Bible Reader:
   1. Select the Bible tab if it hasn’t been selected already.
   2. Locate the Bible verse(s) where you want to add a Note.
   3. Select a verse. Dotted underlines will appear beneath the selected verse. A list of options will display: tap Note.
   4. Proceed to common steps.
2. From the Notes screen:
   1. Bottom right: select ≡ (More), Saved.
   2. Top right: select ⊕.
   3. Proceed to common steps.

Common Steps:

1. Select the text field, and type the contents of your Note.
2. To make your Note visible to only Friends or anyone (Public), tap Public Note and select the desired option. Notes are Public by default.
3. Add a verse by tapping + Add Verse, if needed.
4. If needed, you can add a label to organize, filter, or group Notes.
5. Top right: select Save to keep your Note.
   Or
   Top: select Cancel to return to the previous screen without saving.
