Scripture Memory helps you memorize Bible verses and keep them for life — using spaced repetition that brings each verse back for review right before you'd forget it. Built around The Navigators' Topical Memory System® (TMS), with 480+ verses organized by topic — assurance of salvation, quiet time, the Word, prayer, faith, victory, and sharing Christ — plus the extended TMS Series. WHY IT WORKS • Spaced repetition (SRS) schedules reviews at the perfect moment for long-term recall • Type-to-recall testing — first letter, full word, or the whole verse • A simple daily queue with gentle goals, so a few minutes a day is enough STAY CONSISTENT • Streaks and a weekly progress strip keep momentum going • Home-screen widgets show your current verse and stats at a glance SUPPORT ACROSS VERSIONS • NIV (1984 & 2011) • iCloud sync across iPhone and iPad Start with one verse today. The Topical Memory System® is a discipleship resource of The Navigators. Scripture Memory is an independent study companion and is not affiliated with or endorsed by The Navigators.
