How we compared the apps
We make Remy, so Remy is not a neutral pick. We checked each app’s public website and current US App Store listing on September 12, 2026. Features and prices can change. Check the listing before you choose.
We looked for five things: a real recall step, review after time has passed, a clear way to choose passages, honest progress, and a fit for the learner’s device and needs.
The quick picks
- Remy: best if a gentle companion helps you return for short recall and review on iPhone.
- Remember Me: best if you want a free, open source app with many translations and devices.
- The Bible Memory App: best if you want a mature system with typing, groups, many translations, and several devices.
- Verses: best if you want several polished memory games on iPhone.
- VerseLocker: best if you want a free tool for personal, family, church, or class use.
Remy: Bible Memory
Remy breaks a passage into short practice steps, asks you to bring every word back, and returns the passage for later review. Real learning and scheduled review nourish Remy, a small sheep companion.
Remy is a good fit if streaks and busy dashboards wear you out. It has no ads or behavioral trackers. Progress stays focused on the Scripture you can recall. The current beta is for iPhone, so it is not the right pick if you need Android or a full web app now.
Try one verse free before you join the beta waitlist.
Remember Me
Remember Me is free, open source, and available on iPhone, Android, and the web. It supports many Bible translations, shared collections, spaced review, word puzzles, missing-word practice, typing, images, and audio.
It is a strong pick if you want many settings, languages, and ways to study. That range can also feel like more setup than a learner who wants one clear next step needs.
The Bible Memory App
The Bible Memory App uses first-letter typing, missing-word work, audio, flashcards, and scheduled review. It runs on iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple Watch, Android, and the web. It also supports groups, verse collections, and several Bible translations.
Choose it if you want one broad system across many devices. Some translations and tools need an in-app purchase, so check which parts you need before you move a large verse library into it.
Verses
Verses offers six practice styles: reveal, listen, reorder, word bank, typing, and spoken recall. It tracks memory health and includes topical collections. The US listing is for iPhone.
Choose it if you enjoy moving through different game styles. KJV is the free starting translation. Other translations and some tools are part of paid plans.
VerseLocker
VerseLocker includes missing-word, typing, first-letter, listening, and scheduled-review tools. You can build collections, use prepared sets, and work with family, church, or class groups.
Choose it if group use matters more than a highly focused solo path. Its public listing describes it as free, but you should still check the current store page for your device.
Choose with one small test
- Pick one verse you already want to learn.
- Try the app’s first practice step.
- Close the app and return the next day.
- See whether it asks you to recall the words before showing them.
- Keep the app that makes the next useful step clear.

How we make these guides
Remy makes Scripture-memory tools. We use complete World English Bible text and check these quotations against our bundled source. Meaning notes and practice tips are separate from the Bible text. Read the surrounding passage in your Bible, too.
Our exercises use recall and spaced review. A good practice today is a start; trying again on a later day shows what stayed. The sources below explain the method. Found a mistake? Tell us what needs fixing.
Common questions
What is the best free Bible memory app?
Remember Me is the broadest fully free option in this comparison. VerseLocker is also free. Remy offers free web practice and is recruiting for its iPhone beta.
Which Bible memory app uses spaced repetition?
Remy, Remember Me, The Bible Memory App, Verses, and VerseLocker all describe some form of later or scheduled review. Their practice and scoring methods differ.
Do I need an app to memorize Bible verses?
No. You can read a verse, hide it, say it back, check the words, and plan your next review on paper. An app mainly helps guide practice and remember when to return.
