Is there a "view note" mode?

It seems that the only way to view a note that is longer than one screen of text is to select it and switch to "edit" mode, with the big red "Delete Note" button present.

Is there a way around this? A way to view and scroll a note without going into "edit" mode?

    Not sure what you mean by "edit" mode, but what works for me is to click inside the note and scroll down. You can also move down, once in the note, with the arrow keys (Page up/down doesn't work).

    I don't know of another way to do this. Maybe someone else does.

    Should have mentioned this is on iPhone 5.

    When you select a note out of the "documents" section of the app it opens on the screen, and is in "view mode" as I call it.

    If it needs to be scrolled (to read more text) and I touch the note it goes into "edit" mode, and if the text is touched again to scroll, the keyboard pops up and the cursor is placed where touched.

    Just looking for a way to read through a note without editing.

    I should have looked at the forum it was in, instead of stupidly assuming it was in the General or Logos 5 forum. Mea culpa. [heavy sigh]

    I don't know if you consider this "edit mode" but if you navigate to the home screen, select the magnifying glass, and swipe until you get to the Documents panel, you should see your note documents.
