Get closer to God by opening social media. Your thumb can find your feed in the dark. Before the alarm, in the grocery line, at every red light. Type the Verse puts Scripture inside that reflex. Pick the apps that pull you in. When you go to open one, today's Bible verse is in the way. Type it, or say it out loud, and the app opens for the amount of time you set. When the time runs out, it locks again. Day one, the whole verse is on screen and you copy it. Every time you get it right, one more word is hidden. A couple of weeks of checking Instagram with Type the Verse and you are typing the entire verse from memory. Our average user memorizes their first verse within 3 days. HOW IT WORKS 1. Choose the apps you want to lock. 2. Open one and today's verse stands in the way. 3. Type it or say it. Your app opens. The lock comes back later, and so does the verse. Typos are fine. The words you have not learned yet stay on screen. The words you have learned, you supply. WHAT YOU GET - The whole Bible in the app, in the Berean Standard Bible, World English Bible or King James Version - A verse feed you can scroll like TikTok - A streak that asks for one minute a day, not one hour - Practice any time without spending an unlock - Reminders at the times you choose - Community, for yearly members: everyone gets the same verse each morning and shares what it said to them - An emergency unlock that always works, because a blocker that traps you gets deleted No account and no ads. Type the Verse uses Screen Time permissions to shield the apps you choose. It never sees what you do in them. SUBSCRIPTION Type the Verse Premium unlocks the app: every verse, every translation, the whole Bible, Community and your complete journey. - Premium Yearly: from $29.99 per year - Premium Monthly: from $9.99 per month The exact price is shown in the app before you subscribe, and varies by region. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. Subscriptions renew automatically unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel your subscription in your Apple Account settings after purchase.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Scroll Scripture at 4.8 against Type the Verse's 4.3. Scroll Scripture also leads on ratings volume (1.1K vs 3). Type the Verse's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Scroll Scripture sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days and Type the Verse sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $3.00 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Scroll Scripture holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Scroll Scripture has 1.1K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 60% of Scroll Scripture's written reviews are positive against 67% of Type the Verse's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 2 days. Both last shipped on October 31, 2026.
