Bible Memory: Scripture Typer for Android
I am sooooo thankful for ST! I tried learning verses in the past with the card system. Was going very well, until my backpack with my 500+ memory cards got stolen... That was dicouraging. But soon after that, my son introduced me to ST and my joy in learning memory verses has quadrupled. Praise God for Scripture Typer!
This app is awesome! I really like the review design; once you've mastered a verse, the review frequency decreases. But you're always reviewing previous verses. I gave 4 stars instead of 5 because I do think the paid version was a tad expensive, but now I think it was totally worth it!
This app has allowed me to more effectively memorize scripture. It's nice because I can use it wherever I am. If I'm in a waiting room or just waiting for someone, I can get on my phone and memorize verses instead of going through social media. It has allowed me to memorize scripture wherever I am and so I have been able to memorize a lot more a lot faster than I have in the past.
Always wanted to learn the books of the Bible. Used to have to look for calendar dates in the Daily Walk Bible (NRSV) to find the beginning of a book in order to look up scripture verses. Now I know the Old and New Testament Books of the Bible. Learning other scripture is even sweeter. Thank you so much. I am almost 69. Never too late to learn. Praise GOD.
UPDATE 10/May, it seems that point 3 below only occurs when mobile data is turned off. Extra star given. Has the potential to be so good, but a few drawbacks presently. A few points: 1) if you have one verse in multiple collections, it treats the verse separately. I've created some collections by topic and so I have the same exact verse in different collections but I have to master it again. 2) [bug] daily reminders don't work for me at all so far. 3) [bug] sometimes when I open the app, the verses don't show. Just the header of the collection and then completely blank below. 4) I can't reorder verses in a collection, it defaults to alphabetical.
I generally never write reviews for apps but this was phenomenally different. I downloaded this specifically as I've been told by many other friends and I never believed I needed to. (Pride...) However, some of the discipleship classes I take require me to memorize up to 6 verses at a time and now that I have this, I can and want to finally memorize entire Psalms! I love this app because it has helped me not only for that moment but be a great accountability tool that I can go to invest my time in the Word instead of wasting time on social media, games, etc. This is fun and challenging especially when you review in "Master Mode" and helps you consistently meditate on the Word. The 3 step process is so marvelous since it switches every time and the "point system" that gives motivation is a great touch. Overall, this is one of the best apps of its kind! Can't wait to purchase the full app later on.
Does anyone know how to get the reminder system to work? This is the most important feature that I wanted in the app yet even though I have it configured for daily reminders I never get them. Disappointing
Superb app for memorizing God's word. Someone put a lot of thought and effort into the user experience to make it a pleasure to use and look at, even in the free version. Supports my NASB, different typing modes, push notifications that prompt me to review, and review times that get further apart. Fantastic! Of all the phone notifications that distract me, this is a valuable and worthwhile thing to do, over email and FB and everything. Man lives by everything that proceeds out of the mouth of the Lord. I was confused by the notifications not showing up, but apparently they start working once you master the verse - I didn't realize that.
At first I was sceptical that this app would really help me memorize Scripture, I'm glad I have it a try. It really has been the most efficient way for me to memorize Scripture. The 3 step memorization process is a great feature.
I would love to see more compatibility with Google keyboard. Users could choose another input option similar to "first letter only" to enter whole words with swiping rather than one letter at a time.
This is a very useful tool. The free version does most of what I want, except I can't personalize a few things (how often it tells me to review memorized verse, for example). The full version is very pricey (for an app) so I will make due. If it were half the price ($5) I would have let for the full version.
It's ok. I mean I like the BibleMinded APP better there are no ADs and at least there are unlimited flashcards in BibleMinded for FREE along with different study methods and a test. This app does not even let you get flashcards for free. I think the flashcards should at least be free. The Pro version is WAY too expensive. Over-priced. I don't like how you're only limited to few verses then once you're at the max it will force you to buy the over-priced pro-version..I don't like taken advantaged of...
For years I used index cards to write and memorize scripture. But this is much faster and easier. With ST separate folders can be made for my grandchildren when they visit, and they even ask me for it. ST is a fun, easy way to memorize.
Good way to keep up with memory work. Enjoyed it. Once I went online and figured out how to have all my verses in KJV it was so much easier! Before I found that it wasn't as easy to use.
After 2 years I now have 439 verses memorized. I cannot believe that I fell for the lie that I just wasn't good at memorizing scripture! Now I know I just did not have the right tool. I love that you can select your bible translation and group your verses in whatever way works for you. I do this every day on my train ride home from work. God bless you for creating this app.
Generally pretty good, but priority support (paid version) is soooo slow to respond. Also seems a little expensive for the limited number of features.
I could hardly believe it when my sister told me she memorized a verse in a few minutes, but now that I've tried this app, I can see how! It feels as if you're playing a game while simultaneously memorizing God's word. This app is fabulous! (And kind of addicting.)
Very powerful tool to start memorizing scripture. I found that the more I memorized and internalized scripture, the more I found myself dwelling on it and God during the day outside of my quiet times. My wife and I encourage all our Bible study members to download and use this app!
I have tried many methods and applications over the years - even resorting to writing my own app - before I found Scripture Typer. It has been very effective for me - I highly recommend it!
If I can't see how to use an app within a couple of minutes I usually uninstall it which is what happened here. The UI is not intuitive at all. There is no excuse for this if one uses modern software UI design and human-computer interaction techniques. I suggest the maker take a look at some other popular apps and guides and copy their techniques. The instructions page had to open in a browser which is completely unnecessary and a nuisance. The maker also tries to divert people from posting critical reviews here by asking users to submit only positive reviews while sending criticism to them directly. This is not ethical and against the spirit of the review system. By all means send criticisms to the makers but it should also be posted here so other users can be informed. The reviews can be updated when the improvements are made. I suspect this is in part why this app has such high reviews though I am sure many also persevered and liked it. However, I feel obligated to tell people why I don't like this app so that the reviews more fairly indicate what everybody thinks.
Fantastic app! Really worth every cent. Excellent fast and effective support too. Nice thing too is being able to share the app via multiple devices as well as with family and friends. Great work devs
Great tool to memorise chunks of the Bible, but the pro version is very expensive, only supports English (e.g. Chinese in collection names are synced as question marks '?' and doesn't allow you to type with Google Cantonese keyboard - it is stuck in English).
Wish it wasn't so poorly designed (bold black and red letters that are disorganized) because the functionality is superb. Fantastic method for memorizing the Word.
I am another very happy subscriber to this app. It's features work together so well to encourage me in Scripture memorization. I love the reminders, the point system, the typing/correcting review method. Definitely am blessed, encouraged, and challenged.
Awesome way to keep the word fresh and you can set reviews to be short or long but short is good so it keeps coming up i have all my verse no longer than a month could use a chat wall for orayers and communication with others on the app. Can join groups though for specific topic verses
Scripture Typer is wonderful, it's very helpful, useful, and easy to use, allowing me to learn, memorize Bible verses I never thought I could. It's great knowing that I'm planting the Word of God in my heart. Scripture Typer makes Bible study easy and fun!!!!!!! Thank you so much for this Fantastic App. Love It!!!!!!!
Pretty useful. Don't know if it is a slow internet or app but some features take long to load.
This app is helping me memorize scripture for the mission field. I'm working through the Navigators Topical Memory System and it's great not to worry about losing cards!
Dropped it down to a 4/5, when I realized how unorganized it is. Why can't I randomize flash cards? Why can't I organize folders and scriptures in folders? At least be in alphabetical order. Sorry, but there are improvements that can be made that aren't.
This is a great way to practice memory verses! I have memorized verses in a lot of different versions over the years and this app has all the versions I used in one place that reminds me if I miss a day. This might be the most effective way I have yet seen to work on memory verses.
Massive help in my walk with God. Essential 4 ALL who love Jesus. Get involved. You will find yourself recalling words of life when talking about Jesus in your daily walk and praying through the Word too. Thank you for your labour in making this app
It is completely stagnant on new features since I bought in 2016.. Once you buy they actively market you to buy more. Wouldn't bug me if I saw new features being added. Come on guys put some of the money back into new features not marketing!! Like.... * Need a night option with white text on black background to maximize battery on amoled screens. I stare at this app for 30 to 40 minutes sometimes so please alert it more battery conscious for amoled screens. * Delete verse option is buried. Should be part of long press verse menu. Text on screen when viewing a verse should have larger font... Take advantage of screen available. * Huge scripture Typer graphic takes up one third of the flashcard screen while the verse is a smaller font. Come on guys the focus shouldn't be your graphic! * many will rate apps that helps them learn scripture 5 stars because of course scripture is 5 stars. But let's rate them on features. If they don't improve someone else will write a better app. Build a site for paid users where we can submit enhancement requests and up vote them so you can see what your customers need.
This app helps me redeem the time while in waiting at odd moments and reminds me of my goals for regular memory of scripture
Love it! Can you do a KJV version? That would make it absolutely perfect.
I have trouble memorizing anything, this app helped me to memorize my verses almost immediately.
Improve user interface. Add typing speed like on the website. Make settings more user friendly, especially when modifying collections, groups and individual verses, review frequencies and the like. Love the app though, used it to memorize Philippians
Can't say it was my favorite app. It downloads the verses from the internet, doesn't actually have them in the app.
So far from what I've experienced it seems like a very good app. Only time will tell though but I like it so far. Over time I'll give it a much better rating once I've learned this system.
No understatement: this app has changed my life. I thank God for everyone who made/makes Scripture Typer possible! God Bless!!

This is a wonderful tool to memorize God's holy word! I've only gained enthusiasm as I've continued to glean the Lord's hidden treasures! I have to admit, I'm a bit obsessive compulsive when it comes to organizing the scripture texts that I've learned, but my method works for me. I've almost learned a thousand verses and can hardly believe it! And I find texts in my Bible all the time that I've read numerous times but have not memorized. So, I'll input them in ScriptureTyper to memorize. I'm almost 66 and love the challenge, and the pleasure of instilling God's word in my mind. Such a good pasttime, and addictive!
