BibleHead is the best free Scripture memory app I’ve tried. It allows you to customize your memory work. By connecting you to Bible Gateway, it allows you to choose the translation you want to use and search for the verse or passage you want to work on; then your verses are automatically imported into the app.
From there, it’s like playing a word puzzle. There are two “puzzle” options. 1) As you work through a passage, you fill in missing words. The number of missing words increases at your own pace until you have a practically blank screen, at which point the goal is to recite the whole verse or passage. 2) Place each word in the correct order, from beginning to end, by choosing from a word bank (again at your own pace). I’ve found that, whichever method I use, I retain it best if I read each word out loud or at least mouth them.
If you are more goal-oriented, BibleHead will also track your progress and measure your longest and current streak.
I have been using the app for about three weeks at the time of writing this review, so I cannot yet say whether it affects long term memory. What I can say is that BibleHead is a refreshingly clean and simple app that uses very intuitive methods! Let this app become your screen addiction and allow the Word to dwell in you!
