QuickWord is a simple place to keep the Bible verses you're memorizing. Type a reference like John 3:16 or Psalm 23:1-6 and QuickWord fetches the text in your choice of ESV, NIV, CSB, NLT, or KJV. Or type a verse in yourself. Tap a verse to open the deck. Swipe cards away to move through your verses, and turn on flashcard mode to test yourself: see the reference and tap to reveal the verse, see the verse and tap to reveal the reference, or let QuickWord pick at random for each card. Add the widget to your home screen to keep a verse in front of you all day. It rotates through your list every half hour, or you can feature one verse to pin it there. Tap the widget to jump straight to that verse in the app. Your verses are stored only on your device. No account, no sign-in, no tracking. Scripture text is provided by API.Bible and the ESV API and is subject to each publisher's copyright.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: QuickWord at none against Trala's 11. QuickWord also leads on update cadence (every 2 days vs every 6 weeks) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). Trala's advantage is ratings volume (4.9K vs 2) and iOS requirement (15.6 vs 26.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
