“VerseLocker first, MemoryVerses second, and don't bother with the rest unless you have a specific reason to.”

Read Jackie's full verdictHide full verdict

I am a published writer, educator, and lifelong woman of faith. I begin each morning in scripture, journaling and meditating on what I can carry it into my day. My writing credits include Wonderful Works, AbbaKids, Window Seat Audio Stories, Nature Friend Magazine, and Children's Ministry Magazine, alongside a long career teaching and coaching families in early childhood settings.

If you want one Bible memory app, get VerseLocker. It's the best designed by far, I'm still using it, and I'd tell anyone starting out or looking for something to use with a church, small group, or family to just go with this one.

MemoryVerses is my other real recommendation. It's almost as well designed as VerseLocker. Either of these two would serve you well.

Versify is fine but not great. It's not bad enough to warn you off, but it didn't earn a permanent spot on my phone either.

Remember Me I'm honestly on the fence about. The design is weak. I don't think I'd recommend this one.

MemLok I'd actively tell you to skip. It's not worth your time.

Fighter Verses, Verses, The Bible Memory App I'd skip too. None of them impressed me on design and I dropped all three. I don't have much to say that separates them from each other, they were all just weak in similar ways.

What none of them do: No, Verse Locker seems to do everything.
