I also like the AccessNote app. My one concern is that on one occasion the app refused to open and I finally had to reinstall it. I hope that was a fluke because I really would rather use AccessNote in church than Pages. For now i'm going to have the file on Sunday in both apps just in case disaster strikes! But if AccessNote doesn't have this issue again, I will think it worth the $20.
