A Bible app with notes and highlights should do more than decorate verses. It should help you build a memory of what God has been teaching you over time.
Good notes need context
A note detached from the verse that inspired it becomes hard to reuse. The best workflow keeps the note close to the passage, so you can return to the verse, the thought, and the season of life that made it matter.
