## What is Selah?

Selah : Memorize Scripture by Heart

Hide God's Word in your heart, one verse at a time. Selah turns Bible memorization from a chore into a daily habit you actually keep. Speak verses out loud, get instant feedback on accuracy, and let smart review schedules do the heavy lifting so the words stay with you for life, not just for a week. Whether you're memorizing John 3:16 or working through entire chapters, Selah meets you where you are and walks with you, verse by verse.

SPEAK IT, DON'T JUST READ IT
Memorization sticks when you say it out loud. Selah uses voice recognition to listen as you recite each passage, then shows you exactly which words you got right, which you stumbled on, and which you skipped. No guessing. No self-grading. Just honest, instant feedback.

EXERCISES THAT BUILD MASTERY
Selah isn't a flashcard app. It's a training ground. Work through layered exercises designed around how the brain actually learns Scripture:

* First-letter prompts to gently nudge your memory
* Word-pill drag-and-drop exercises to rebuild verses
* Full recall sessions to prove you've got it
* Mastery tests that confirm long-term retention

Each step is calibrated to the difficulty of the passage so you're always challenged, never overwhelmed.

A PLANNER THAT REMEMBERS FOR YOU
The hardest part of memorization isn't learning a verse. It's keeping it. Selah's planner automatically schedules reviews using spaced repetition, surfacing the right passage on the right day. Verses you nailed last week come back next month. Verses you stumbled on come back tomorrow. You don't have to think about what to practice. Just open the app.

YOUR PROGRESS, BEAUTIFULLY TRACKED
See every passage you've memorized, every session you've completed, and every streak you've built. Watch your library of hidden Word grow week by week. Celebrate milestones, look back on your journey, and stay motivated by the proof in front of you.

BUILT FOR REAL LIFE
* Memorize on the bus, in the kitchen, or on a walk
* Sessions designed to fit into 5 minutes or 50
* Beautiful, distraction-free reading typography
* Multiple Bible translations to choose from
* Works offline once a passage is loaded

WHY SELAH?
"Selah" is a word found throughout the Psalms. A pause. A breath. A moment to reflect on what was just said. That's the posture this app is built around. Not racing through verses. Not gamifying Scripture. Just steady, patient, faithful memorization, the kind that shapes a life. Start with a single verse. Stay for a lifetime of hidden Word. Free to start. No ads. No noise. Just you and the Word.

### 1.1.2 — 2026-06-12

Mastery Test, reimagined

The Mastery Test now covers your whole passage in one go. Instead of typing the same verse three times in a row, you type the entire passage from memory — one word-perfect pass and it's yours. The test shows your passage reference and verse count so you always know what you're taking on.

Never lose a perfect recall

If your connection drops right as you finish a test, your achievement is no longer lost. Selah now shows a clear "couldn't save" screen with a Retry button, so a flaky network can't take away a recall you nailed.

Clearer feedback when you miss

When a recall isn't quite perfect, Selah now tells you exactly what happened in plain English — "2 words missing — shown as ___ below" or "1 extra word — underlined below" — instead of a generic "not quite" message. You'll know at a glance what to fix.

Also in this update

- Smoother performance when practicing very long passages
- Small fixes and polish throughout

Thanks for memorizing with Selah. If you're enjoying the app, a review means a lot!

### 1.1.1 — 2026-05-21

Smarter drills, smoother drags, and a few small touches we hope you'll love.

Fill in the Blanks now grows with you. Early on you'll see a single gap per round; as a verse settles into memory, more words go missing — three gaps mid-way, five near mastery — so the exercise stays just hard enough. Multi-verse chains get their own gentle scaling, capped so a long passage never asks you to fill in a wall of words at once.

Word Order feels calmer. The pill you're dragging now stays under your finger as the rest slide into place, with a soft tick of haptic feedback on each reorder. The placeholder fades in cleanly when you lift, instead of popping.

A few other small joys:

* Long-press any passage on the Home Screen to preview the full text before you start.
* You can now speak and type at the same time in Full Recall — useful when your tongue gets ahead of the keyboard, or vice versa.
* A new Share button on the Info tab lets friends grab Selah with one tap.

Thanks for memorizing with us. If you hit a rough edge, write back — we read every message.

### 1.1.0 — 2026-05-17

- For users who are memorizing longer passage, you can now hold on the current passage reference to quickly preview the entire passage. This gives a great reminder on what you are memorizing and help you quickly review.
- Previously when you are recalling you could only type or speak. You can now use both typing and speaking. Often users want to type some and speak some, so this feature helps you do that better and easier.
- We have updated the "share this with your friend" so that it now links the Selah app's App Store link directly.

### 1.0 — 2026-05-15
