The Bible Memory App

This is really a wonderful app. It helps a person memorize whichever verse(s) they want with such a gentle and gradual progression. It learns how well you actually have memorized it, and calculates how often you should review it. Even two to three minutes before going to bed can do the job! My recommendation is to make yourself redo it every time you make a mistake, even on the “insignificant words” like “that” or “so that”. I found that I memorized it faster when I was careful about the details. It’s incredible how the Lord will bring up occasions for which having the verse you took the time to memorize can benefit yourself, used in encouraging others, witnessing, or rebuking the lies of the enemy. I never realized JUST how much of a treasure it is to have verses put to complete memorization rather than just a paraphrase or Googling it. There is such a difference. If you don’t know where to start, memorize a Psalms and pray the Psalms. I love to make them personal like Psalm 5:8 “Lead me , LORD because of my enemies (I might say here instead of enemies “because I have been dealing with discouragement or whatever it is I’m going through) make Your way straight before me.”

I have tried several different apps for scripture memory and this is by far the best. I have memorized over 500 verses in less than 2 years. I almost never miss a day. I really appreciate that when I get a word wrong, my phone vibrates and the correct word goes right in. On the other app I was using I had to keep guessing until I got it right. I also appreciate that the place where I got the word wrong stays shaded in for a few reviews to help me remember. I appreciate that the app gives grace for typos. The other app didn't and I would be so tense during review, worried about not hitting the key exactly. It became more about finger placement and less about learning verses. The other app made me feel like I was always being tested. This one makes me feel like I'm being instructed. Huge difference. I LOVE the review schedule. Every morning I wake up and my verses for the day are waiting. As I master them and recall them accurately, they are scheduled for review less and less frequently. That way I can concentrate on the ones I am learning. update: still love it but lately my longer passages (whole chapters) have started disappearing during review. The page goes blank and I have to start over. So I contacted support and they fixed it with their next update. These guys are amazing. And they added a lock button. I love the lock button!!

I have always loved the idea of being able to rattle off Bible verses from memory and apply them to various situations in life. I had seen others do it and admired them for their memory. Memory verses get stuck in my head as pictures or concepts but I had trouble recalling the precise wording. Partly due to exposure from different translations. I decided to try using this app to memorize 14 verses from the book of Romans to help in presenting the gospel. It ended up being so easy and fun with this app that I set my sights on memorizing a collection of 100 verses that were put together for witnessing to Mormons. Those were going so well that I threw in some more verses along the way. I am now up to 63 verses. Not only can I recite them precisely I can do it with the reference and can even do it in random order. I look forward to finishing off the rest in my list (130 in all) and then I plan on adding some more! This has helped encourage me to have very regular daily devotions memorizing the Word and learning the context of the verses. I don't typically write reviews and I am not very good at remembering details but this app is worth a 5 star review and has helped even a guy like me memorize scripture. Give it a try!!!
