Bible Memory: VerseLocker 4+

This one is the best I have tried and it is totally free i haven’t seen one ad! There are only a couple of ideas I have that would make it better that is a section where it jumbled all the verses and references so you have to guess which one it goes to. Maybe you could jumble the entire collection up and add some ones in that you don’t have in the collection to make it more challenging. It is great for memorization word for word but that would help with remembering the chapters and verses part. Also maybe a one where you say it out loud like text to speech. Seriously though this app is so awesome I am going to donate to y’all sometime here to help y’all pay for your cost so you can keep providing this wonderful service. Thank y’all! It’s only been a week and I have been able to almost remember the entire chapter of psalm 91 I am so impressed! Blessings sent your way!

I recently downloaded this app and it has helped me memorize scripture with a speed and efficiency I never thought to be possible for me. While the format is a bit clunky at first, the app quickly becomes easy to use with practice. I do have two major quips though. 1. The app contains no Catholic translations. While the “other” selection allows verses to be copied and pasted from any translation, this quickly becomes very inconvenient when creating several memorization modules at a time. I would greatly appreciate if the devs would consider adding a RSV2CE/RSVCE, Douay-Rheims, NABRE, or other popular Catholic translation(s). 2. It is impossible to study the deuterocanonical books of scripture. Although it is possible to copy and paste text from books such as 2 Maccabees and Wisdom into the text box that appears after choosing “other” as my translation, the app still forces the user to pick the book, chapter, and verse(s) from a predetermined list in order to create the module. Because this list excludes the deuterocanon, the user is blocked from any module containing these books. I ask the devs to add these books as soon as possible because I love using this app as a study too and would love to use it to memorize these books as well. Overall this is a great app, albeit incomplete in my opinion, but I can see myself using it to continue my study of scripture for a long time.

VerseLocker includes all 66 books of the Bible. Like most Scripture apps, we do not include the Apocrypha. You can contact us at support@verselocker.com if you have any additional questions.

This app differs from many others in that one of the tools it has is the Initials tool. For those who don’t know, this allows you to review using the first letters of the verse. For example, John 3:16 would be F G s l t w… This one tool sets it apart from much of the other competition.

Now on to how the app can be improved. The format is clunky in many areas. Nearly all pages are too tall for the page which means it allows all pages to scroll. There’s really no reason to have Contact and Privacy Policy on the bottom of each and every page.
The Memorized toggle is not in an ideal location. I click on the toggle accidentally way too often because the entire word Memorized is clickable and not just the toggle.
There’s no high level overview of collections. I don’t know how many verses are in a collection and how many are memorized.
The Type tool can also be improved. When using initials mode, surrounding letters should be included because typing on a phone screen is clunky.

These are just a few of the changes that I’d like to see in future editions of the app.

I know it seems like a critique but the app is honestly the best in its price range (free). I highly recommend it to anyone who has an inkling for Bible memory. It has changed my life and I’m sure it will change many more.
