Android - Notes

Notes allow you to capture thoughts, sermon insights, study questions, and other observations while reading the Bible or a book. You can create notes linked to a verse/passage or selected text, or create standalone notes that aren't associated with a Bible or book.

Types of Notes

There are two ways to create notes while reading:

• Verse-Based Notes: These notes are linked to a verse and appear across all downloaded Bible translations.
• Word-Based Notes: These notes are linked to selected text and remain associated with the specific Bible or book where they were created.

You can also create a standalone note that isn't associated with a Bible or book from the Menu or the Study Center.
