The Bible Memory App Reviews

Truly transformative

arielers

I am using this App as a core component to a discipling class called FAST. It has been such an empowering blessing!!! Keep up the great work in helping us memorize God’s Word!

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.

Different KJV?

Betrayed by you

I just downloaded this app, chose the King James Version, and was starting to read Exodus 20, when I immediately noticed that it is not the old English KJV I am familiar with. Indeed, here are some examples of the differences (in parentheses): App KJV: 1. And God (spoke) all these words, saying, 2. I am the LORD (your) God, (who _____) brought (you) out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of (slavery). Traditional KJV: 1. And God (spake) all these words, saying, 2. I am the LORD (thy) God, (which have) brought (thee) out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of (bondage). While I think the concept of this app is good, I am highly disappointed about being told that I had downloaded the KJV, but, in fact, was given an approximation of it. This breaking of trust is a huge fundamental flaw in the actual use of the app. Having been a professional translator in my career, this is completely unacceptable and is not a minor issue. As the reader of God’s word in English, I know that the KJV is already a translation, which necessarily is merely an approximation of that which was written in the original languages. So, I do not want a single modification beyond the translation, which at times could result in another change in nuance beyond the original. While, in my head, I may change “thee” to “you” I want to be the one that decides that, not have it done for me, bypassing my right to choose for myself the meaning I derive from what I am reading. Theoretically, a nuance could make a world of difference in understanding: it could be a matter of my believing in an error over a truth — with potential eternal consequences.
