Bible Trainer ESV
Once you've chosen a passage to memorise, the app will break it up into phrases and give them to you one at a time, making it easier to memorise. As you get to grips with the passage, you'll begin to be able to say it without reading the text, but you can still use the app to remind yourself of what comes next. You can also test yourself by typing the passage out; the app will correct you if you make a mistake. The app stores all the passages you're working on, helping you to keep track of what you've done. Similarly, the app can store prayer requests, and you can set reminders to pray for people or recap a Bible passage.
If you're like me, you'll need some pretty strong motivation to want to memorise scripture. How about this:
John 15:1-11 I am the true vine, and my Father is the vinedresser. (2) Every branch in me that does not bear fruit he takes away, and every branch that does bear fruit he prunes, that it may bear more fruit. (3) ALREADY YOU ARE CLEAN BECAUSE OF THE WORD that I have spoken to you. (4) Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit by itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in me. (5) I am the vine; you are the branches. Whoever abides in me and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing. (6) If anyone does not abide in me he is thrown away like a branch and withers; and the branches are gathered, thrown into the fire, and burned. (7) IF YOU ABIDE IN ME, AND MY WORDS ABIDE IN YOU, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you. (8) By this my Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit and so prove to be my disciples. (9) As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you. Abide in my love. (10) IF YOU KEEP MY COMMANDMENTS, YOU WILL ABIDE IN MY LOVE, just as I have kept my Father's commandments and abide in his love. (11) THESE THINGS I HAVE SPOKEN TO YOU, THAT MY JOY MAY BE IN YOU, AND THAT YOUR JOY MAY BE FULL.
What's the outcome when we abide in Jesus and his words abide in us? Being clean (verse 3), fruitfulness (verses 4 and 5), salvation (verse 6), communion with God (verse 7), abiding in Jesus' love (verse 10) and fullness of joy (verse 11)! And what better way is there for Jesus' words to abide in us than for us to memorise them?
If you still need convincing, I doubt I can say it better than John Piper:www.desiringgod.org/blog/posts/ten-reasons-to-memorize-big-chunks-of-the-bible

What a blessing this app is! It has helped me already in the few minutes that I have been using it. It's very ingenious, and is great way to memorize scripture, and dare I say, I'd rather surf this app in my free minutes then scroll through Facebook!
This app has revolutionised my Bible memorization. It makes memorizing so clear and simple. Such an incredibly handy tool. Thank you!
I've had other Bible memory apps, but this one is definitely my favorite. It's very simplistic and straightforward, which helps you to stay focused on why you got the app in the first place: to memorize God's Word! I also like the prayer request feature. If you have struggled with memorizing the Bible or have tried similar apps but it didn't work out then definitely get this app! Regardless you'll have to be focused if you want to succeed in memorizing Scripture but I think this is the best app of it's kind
App menu did not download. I don't have any functionality. Uninstalled.
I'm still learning Bible reading. I take scripture I learned at Church then put it in this app. It makes it really easy to remember and study. I would absolutely recommend this to anyone just starting out or brushing up. I love this app. Very helpful.
I noticed that Matthew 6:13 has a few words missing at the end. (For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.) Hope this was in error.
The Bible Trainer is BRILLIANT. This is the best app for learning the Bible, i wish i had it age's ago. It is mind blowing what you can learn. It has so many different applications, share with social media and a lot more. Thank you very much to the developer John for making this app. I love it. God bless you.
This app needs no special permissions. Easy to use. Free. All you need to do is enter the 1st 2 letters of the book you want to get started. Glad I found this.
Does what it is designed to do, and does it great! Makes my smart phone a little less of an idol and more of a tool for growing in Christ.
I have tried numerous Bible memorizing apps, this one is by far the best I've seen. It's easy to mark the text and save it for memorization. I open the app during my early morning reading. When I come across an interesting verse, I pause reading, then I select the text. It's fast and easy!
This is a great app and easy to use. I like its simplicity and that it's based on the ESV.
Am looking forward to be benefited by it abundantly
The Bible didn't open. I really want to try this Bible.
Great tool to grow in your relationship with God
A very useful tool in helping me memorise Scripture. Thank God for your ministry!
Love it! I've begun memorizing Scripture again. I keep this app w me while reading the Word so I can add those verses to my list - and begin writing them on my heart. Thanks!!!!
Love the simplicity and usefulness.
Really helpful in these end times
Thanks for Making this app! God bless
This app is very great
Fabulously rich in features and use!
I love this app
I liked how a person could store verses in the app. However, what i dislike about the app is that a person has to put in the books of the bible.
I really enjoy this app because it helps me to remember bible scriptures really effectively. Which I believe as a Christian is really important in faith keeping. PRAISE GOD!
This is really great apps. Thank you very much! It always reminds me to check the verses in my list and able to remind of the prayer requests and praises in my small group. :) Well done!
Good verse memorization tool, and I love the prayer section.
Awesome use for scripture memorization. The prayer list is also a good addition.
Very easy to use. Able to send scripture tweets directly from the app.
Really helpful app, very well executed!
The best Scripture memory app that I have found. I love that you can personalize the Scriptures you want to memorize from one verse to even whole chapters. The feature that allows you to slowly reveal verses or segments as you are trying to recall is very helpful in the memorization process.
