Welcome to Subsplash Notes! With Notes, each of your user’s notes can be found in one place, easy to access on the go, and stored somewhere they already go regularly: your app.

To take a note in the app, all you have to do is pull up a media item and tap Take a Note. See our video here .

All of these notes will be accessible from the App Menu, so it’s easy to pull up past notes when you’re at small group or want to share with a friend. These notes will sync across all devices, so no one has to worry about transferring them when they get a new phone or want to use their tablet. Each note is automatically connected to the corresponding media item so they can easily refer back to the sermon.

You might already be using our fill-in notes tool to create sermon outlines, but this new feature is different. Now users can jot down their own notes and save them directly in your app on their device.

To see Notes in action, download The Refuge Mobile App. Navigate to any media item in their Media tab and tap Take a Note. You’ll be prompted to quickly create an account, and once you do, it will work on any Subsplash app that has Notes.

As long as your app is updated to iOS 4.7.0 or Android 3.5.0, Notes will be live and ready for your audience.

Once Notes is live in your app, we recommend creating a media item for the current week’s sermon and publishing it before your first service on Sunday.

Before the sermon, announce that the congregation can access this week’s sermon item and take their own notes directly from the app. Let them know that these notes will always be available in their app and will link to the media item so they can easily refer back to the sermon.

You can also promote your new notes system with a slide showing before the sermon or on your website!
