Memorize By Heart 4+

Flexible learning

My previous memory app was free, but it offered only one activity mode and a built-in review schedule. When it failed to keep up with iOS changes, it dropped from the App Store...and so my quest to find the perfect memory app began.

Most apps for Bible memory rely on passages that are curated on the Internet, but Memorize By Heart allows the user to copy/paste any passage of any length, which is great for memorizing entire chapters, if desired. Although the developers make a number of famous quotes available for download from their library, it's up to the user whether to download or not.

I have been amazed with the level of developer response with this app...when I made a request for a few features, I got an immediate response...and they were implemented in just 3 weeks! It's pretty obvious that the programmers aren't just out to make a buck; they truly care how folks learn and want to make the experience as efficient as possible.

A few features that I really like are the adjustable text size and multiple learning modes. If I get bogged down with one method, switching to another can help to get back into learning mode. Dark mode integration is helpful, too. Highly recommended!

Great app, no very good support.

I use this app and find it very effective for memorizing scripture. I recommend it for anyone trying to memorize anything. I’ve tried about 10 different apps and find this to be the most effective.

That said, the support for this app is non existent. I paid for the lifetime membership so I could have more than two memorizations at a time. I like how i can use this app on my phone and my computer and they have a sync feature, but it doesn’t work very well. I am constantly changing my memorizations or making grammatical changes and they don’t sync between devices. Even after turning off sync and turning it back on my computer doesn’t match my phone. Very annoying. And to make it worse, there is absolutely no place to click to send an email or txt for any type of support.

This would be a 5 star app if they had any support function at all.

Lots of tools to choose from

I love this app because it provides various memorization tools to fit the style of the user.

I also like that you can test yourself by recording your own voice and having it evaluate how you’ve done. At times the speech recognition gets the words wrong (wood vs would) or (as I vs has eye) so if you are trying to see a 100% score you may never get there. But that is a minor issue.

Another improvement that would be nice to see someday is the ability to record your own voice for the purpose of listening to it repetitively, instead of relying on one of the computer generated voices. This would allow you to set you own cadence.
