It's a good tool to use for memorization of the TMS. You can record and playback within the app to test yourself, which is a step above using note cards for practice. On top of that there are several other features that are useful.
Reviews for NavsTMS
← Back to NavsTMSThis is a basic app to help with Bible memorization. There are a few activities to do to help, and a scoring/points system if you are competitive.
Nice app with downloadable TMS workbook in pdf and the capability to change to different Bible translations. However the types and size fonts are not customisable according to phone screen, making the interface a bit ugly.
I am so thankful for another help/aid in scripture memorization. I especially like the quick record and playback feature allowing you to "hear" the scripture while you follow along, checking for accuracy.
This has all the Navigators Topical Memory System verses. It is very helpful since my phone is usually with me. Initially I had trouble seeing all of the longer verses. But the creator contacted me quickly and all I needed to do was set my device font a little smaller.
Not worth the money. Just a few verses and whether you've memorised or not. Could have done it myself. Also, the app is so poorly designed that part of the screen obscures the verses if they are long. I bought this a couple of years ago and thought I'd give it another go. It's a joke. Don't waste your money.
Great tool for memorizing and reviewing Bible verses. The Navigator's have chosen key Bible verses and organized them in a logical, topical system that enables the user to recall scripture applicable to numerous life situations. I just wish it included RSV.
Good program. It gets the job done - and it looks like a lot of time and effort has been spent to produce it in it's current state. ... Quirks: *Record? What does it do? Anything? *I like the "mail" a friend"-but, I think there's so many other 'share' options more relevant (even though I'm a Grandpa) *"points" are assigned - where do they accumulate?? To what purpose? Sweet things! -All the verses - all the translations - Good learning functions like 'init' the best. Regards MikeB
There are no in app settings to change the size of text. Some of the verses get cut off by menus. For me, it was unusable. I decided to get the physical cards and holder. I gave it 2 stars only because its intent was good. Best of luck.
I used the Navigator's Topical Memory System when I was in college in the late 1960's. I started using it again last year and I'm seriously trying to memorize two verses a week in 2025. For those of you who think you are too old to memorize Bible verses, be encouraged. I'm 76 and I'm learning new Bible verses. I'm also reading my Bible through this year and learning Spanish so I can communicate better with our granddaughter's husband from Guatemala and other Spanish-speaking people. God is good!
This app functions well! It has all the Nav TMS verses available and categorized. I would like a flashcard type of feature which doesn't seem to be a part of this app. It seems I have to click inside each verse from a list, then come back out to the list to get to the next verse.
I've used the TMS system in the past when it was printed on cards. I was excited about the possibility of doing it via an app. Unfortunately other than being able to register my name, it wouldn't get started. Please let me know if you get this fixed. I would like to use this app to review hundreds of verses i've memorized in the past from a variety of translations, and learn new ones.
I love it! I have been struggling to be regular in scripture memory and review. The app takes advantage of the fact that I always have my phone with me! I like the little bells and encouragement when I review a verse or learn a new one. Now I'm trying to get other family members set up with it. Also, the developer is very fast to respond to questions. I wanted to change the translation I was using, and he told me to just create a new user.
I love the concept. I have been a fan for many years of the TMS and it's so much more accessible with the app. I would have given 5 stars but you can't see the entire verse unless you use the smallest setting in fonts. At my age, that's not something I will consider. But i still love the app!
Great app. I memorized the TMS back when there were only cards and verse packs. The app makes "reclaiming" these verses I have not reviewed in years and get them once again fresh on the tablet of my heart. I find it much easier for the Spirit to help me take every thought captive to Christ when the Word comes readily to mind.
Good setup for verse memorization. It's now my go-to when I'm waiting somewhere and internet's down. Well-organized layout. Small issue with longer verses getting cut off, but the app gives the reference, so I can just look those up and use the cut-off card as a prompt.
quiteThis app almost takes me back to the old TMS version with a verse pack and flash cards that I would memorize walking to and from class. i have not quite mastered that with one hand yet. The process is very good, but I'm still needing to make it more comfortable. I feel that I must make more intentional time, not having the walk time I had in college. I want to see the whole verse at once, not with a line or two covered. Thank you for a great product to get the Word deeply into our minds.
Looks great. Just got it...Would be great if recorded verses were stored as links so users could do audio reviews of verses or sections. also, if the font is set large enough to be easy to read, many of the larger verses are not visible in their entirety.
I am well into my 50's and have always struggled with memorising scripture. In just a few weeks I have managed to memorise 1-2 verses weekly. If I have a spare moment I open the app and go through the verses I'm working on. The record/playback feature is very helpful. I had trouble at first downloading the workbook but got that sorted out with an email to the app administrator Jim. Overall I'm delighted with this app. It has truly helped me in my quest to hide God's word in my heart.
This is a great app for folks who may struggle with memorization. There are only two corrections I would suggest, the ability to see the complete scripture on the main page or be able to scroll to see it. Some verses are too long to be fully visable upon opening. Also there is a discrepancy between one of the verses in the app & the book. Under "fellowship" the app has Matthew 18:20 while the workbook has 1 John 1:3.
