Hide it in your heart. Versed turns any Bible verse into a flashcard, then brings it back right before you'd forget it, until it's simply yours, word-perfect. HOW WELL DO YOU ACTUALLY KNOW SCRIPTURE? Take the daily test: six verse fragments to finish, drawn from a bank of 690+ lines, with a famous misquote in every set. Most people miss one. Share your score and try a new set tomorrow. MEMORIZE WHOLE VERSES, WORD-PERFECT Not the gist. The words. Versed schedules every verse with spaced repetition, so you're always reviewing the one you're about to forget. A few minutes a day is enough. LEARN IT, THEN PROVE IT • Learn It: read a new verse aloud, watch it fade, then type it from memory • Fill in the Blanks: type back the words that carry the verse • First Letter Hints: every word reduced to its first letter • Recall from Reference: type the whole verse from "Psalm 23:1" • Reverse: see the verse and pick where it lives from four close choices • Read & Recognize: see it, say it, grade yourself Versed picks the right mode for each verse's stage, or you can choose one and drill. SIX TRANSLATIONS Read the whole Bible and memorize in the wording you already know: KJV, NIV, NASB 2020, the Amplified Bible, WEB, and BSB. More translations are on the way. Request yours from inside the app. START WITH A PASSAGE THAT MATTERS Curated packs with original artwork (the Gospel core, the Beatitudes, Psalm 119, Do Not Be Anxious), each in the translation you read. Start a pack with one tap, or build your own from any chapter in the reader. PROGRESS YOU CAN FEEL Watch each verse climb from Fragile to Mastered. A verse counts as mastered once you've typed it from its reference a week apart and named where it is. Retention over time, a calendar of every review, and a streak with grace days, so one quiet evening won't undo a month. QUIET BY DESIGN One gentle reminder a day, at your time. Per-pack reminders if you want them. No account, no feed, no noise. Your verses live on your device and sync privately through your own iCloud. READING IS FREE. MEMORIZING IS PRO. Reading the Bible is free in every translation, always, along with search, the verse of the day and the daily test. Versed Pro is the memorizing: saving verses, every review session, spaced recall, every pack and your progress over time. Start with a 3-day free trial. "Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee." (Psalm 119:11) Terms of Use: https://versedbible.app/terms Privacy Policy: https://versedbible.app/privacy

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Tereo at every 2 days against Versed's weekly. Tereo also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.8) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 18.0). Versed's advantage is ratings volume (15 vs 3). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Versed sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $4.69 per 7 days and Tereo sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Tereo holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Versed has 15 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 100% and 100% positive.
Versed ships an update weekly, Tereo every 2 days. Both last shipped on October 31, 2026.
