However, it is white print on light gray background which is difficult visually. It would really help to have white on black or black on white. Sadly, I would have taken away more stars for the overall graphics but it is such a great memory system that I hated to do that. ### 5/5 — TMS is my favorite. *2025-11-16* The memory “hook”, ex. “Christ the Center” should be in the left hand column not in the center. Then the scripture. The paper copies have it correct. This would be better in anki software to make it easier to memorize. Retention is easier with Anki. ### 4/5 — Glad to find on App Store *2025-02-24* My parents learned the TMS verses in the 1970s, and they were among the verses they taught us when we were growing up. It’s great to find this system in digital form. Thanks for presenting it! While an older design is fine with me, I’d really like to see this presented in more accessible colors. The light blue on light background is hard to read. I’m looking forward to brushing up on section 1 and moving ahead to the later sections I didn’t learn as well when I was young. Having multiple versions is a cool feature. I’ll update if I come across other concerns. Thanks again! ### 2/5 — No NIV84 as advertised, disappointing *2023-10-22, version 2.1* No NIV84 as advertised, minimalist, very Windows 3.1 feeling. Does not include the visual diagrams from the hard copy TMS system. Disappointing coming from a great organization like Navigators. ### 5/5 — Great App I am enjoying it so much *2023-03-14* I first used the TMS system when it first came out this app is a fantastic review for me. I first learned all the vs in KJV but taught quizzing using NIV and NASB so I was very confused inventing my own version with parts of all those translations now a friend and I are using the NKJV as sort of an in between translation. She is doing it for the first time we encourage each other and test each other. I am trying to get my grandkids to use it too. Lots of activities for review you can even record and play back to see if you got a verse down or not. Get the whole family involved and see some real spiritual growth happening it gives you points for memorizing and reviewing verses. ### 4/5 — Great tool for Scripture memory *2023-03-10, version 2.1* Always loved the TMS. I use it with guys I disciple ### 5/5 — NavsTMS *2023-01-29* Great memorization app!!! ### 5/5 — Josephus *2023-01-25* Excellent for memorization. All learning styles of audio, visual, and kinesthetic(tactile) are employed. Of course a measure of discipline is required as memorization does not occur magically! Bottom line you will reap maximum benefits if you use this app with maximum effort. Be DISCIPLINED! Use this app every day even when you are drained! You are feeding yourself with the Word of the Living God!👍👍 ### 4/5 — Settings? *2022-12-09* As someone with a specific need for larger font or at least dark background, I’d like to see an option for larger letter size. Is there such a option? Could there be? **Developer response:** Unfortunately the limited "real estate" on an iPhone screen causes other scrolling challenges if we enlarge the font. Best suggestion for a larger font is to run this app on an iPad. ### 4/5 — Only works in portrait *2022-03-03* It’s. Great app, with excellent content, but a total pain that it WONT WORK IN LANDSCAPE!!!🤬 ## Frequently asked questions about NavsTMS ### What is NavsTMS?
