Description

Here’s help for memorizing verses in The Navigators' TMS Bible memory program. See, say and record the verses, and play several games to help you commit verses to memory. Tracks memory and review status for multiple participants and gives points for their memory/review activity. Shares memory status information across multiple devices via iCloud. TMS topics are divided by series: Live the New Life Proclaim Christ Rely on God's Resources Be Christ's Disciple Grow in Christlikeness Bonus: Includes "Growing in Christ" verses - Lessons on Assurance and Lessons on Christian Living; also includes two TMS verses found only in the 2:7 Series Features and Benefits – - Encourages memorization and review of important Bible verses - Make audio recordings and play back to check your recitation - Verses are currently available in NASB, KJV, NKJV, ESV, and NIV - Shares memory status across multiple devices via iCloud - Easily email a friend to share a verse you are memorizing - Memory games include Show/Hide, Phrases (show a phrase at a time), Word Take-Away, Initials, and Reference ID (gives the Scripture text and lets you choose the reference) - Drag-and-drop both Topics and Verse References in a unique implementation of the Bridge and the Wheel (iPad only due to screen space requirements) - Includes full text of TMS Course Workbook - The “Transformed Into His Image” screen is a graphical status report of the number of verses memorized, and also a challenge to apply those verses by becoming more like Him. Further, it is a reminder that Jesus is coming again, perhaps soon! For each verse that is memorized, one “box” is uncovered to reveal a little more of an image of the glorified Christ. The uncovered boxes are slightly shaded, a reminder that even at our best we see only a partial image of His glory. Touch the “But Soon!” button for a full and clear image. So let’s live for Him and grow in His likeness while we still have the opportunity. Spanish version is now available! NavsTMSesp

Great idea that needs darker background or more setting options
This is the classic TMS system with fabulous verses and tons of several useful tools to help you memorize. However, it is white print on light gray background which is difficult visually. It would really help to have white on black or black on white. Sadly, I would have taken away more stars for the overall graphics but it is such a great memory system that I hated to do that.
★★★★★
Translations
I first memorized TMS 33 years ago, but wanted to review - and relearn all the verses from an older version of NIV. The description indicates if supports NIV84 which I believe is the version I originally learned. However the app I purchased does not have NIV84 as an option during setup. Consequently this app is useless to me as the current NIV is so foreign to the version I use.

TMS is my favorite.
The memory “hook”, ex. “Christ the Center” should be in the left hand column not in the center. Then the scripture. The paper copies have it correct. This would be better in anki software to make it easier to memorize. Retention is easier with Anki.

Glad to find on App Store
My parents learned the TMS verses in the 1970s, and they were among the verses they taught us when we were growing up. It’s great to find this system in digital form. Thanks for presenting it! While an older design is fine with me, I’d really like to see this presented in more accessible colors. The light blue on light background is hard to read. I’m looking forward to brushing up on section 1 and moving ahead to the later sections I didn’t learn as well when I was young. Having multiple versions is a cool feature. I’ll update if I come across other concerns. Thanks again!

No NIV84 as advertised, disappointing
No NIV84 as advertised, minimalist, very Windows 3.1 feeling. Does not include the visual diagrams from the hard copy TMS system. Disappointing coming from a great organization like Navigators.

Great App I am enjoying it so much
I first used the TMS system when it first came out this app is a fantastic review for me. I first learned all the vs in KJV but taught quizzing using NIV and NASB so I was very confused inventing my own version with parts of all those translations now a friend and I are using the NKJV as sort of an in between translation. She is doing it for the first time we encourage each other and test each other. I am trying to get my grandkids to use it too. Lots of activities for review you can even record and play back to see if you got a verse down or not. Get the whole family involved and see some r

Excellent for memorization. All learning styles of audio, visual, and kinesthetic(tactile) are employed. Of course a measure of discipline is required as memorization does not occur magically! Bottom line you will reap maximum benefits if you use this app with maximum effort. Be DISCIPLINED! Use this app every day even when you are drained! You are feeding yourself with the Word of the Living God!👍👍

Settings?
As someone with a specific need for larger font or at least dark background, I’d like to see an option for larger letter size. Is there such a option? Could there be?

Disappointed DO NOT DOWNLOAD THIS APP
I wanted to brush up on my Topical Memory System verses I memorized 30 years ago to start off the new year. After I downloaded the app and paid the $4.99, I hit the begin button and it went to the Let’s Begin page. It was stuck on this page and would do nothing. My bad for not reading reviews before my purchase.

Great tool for Scripture Memory!
I used to have a Topical Memory System tape I use to keep my TMS verses fresh but that is long gone. I found this app while sitting in a tree stand waiting for deer and instantly purchased and started reviewing my verses. This is a great tool to use along with my prayer time in the woods! Well worth the cost and I have found no problems with it whatsoever. A great replacement for my old cards!

NTMS
I use this app almost every day to hide God’s word in my heart, mind, and soul. The word of God is nigh thee, even in thy mouth. I have been using NTMS for my entire Christian life, almost forty years. I am forever thanking the Lord for this great system.
★★★★★
Success!!
I love this app! I am finally able to memorize scripture. I like the organized, plainly laid out format and the helpful activities that allow me to remember each verse. I have tried for years to write out memory verses on index cards but I would always lose them or forget to review. The review is built into this app. I am having great success!! Thank you for creating this app.

Why did you have to put a so called image of Jesus?
I was shocked to see the so called image of Jesus. Total turn-off. I’ve used TMS and worked with Navs for years. This image caused me to withdraw my recommendation for other people of color to use the app. Come on - this is the 21st century — Jesus is not a western cultural icon that only white people can relate to. Suggests you lose the image.

Can’t change version and font is white
I really love this app for memorizing but with 57 year old eyes-the verses are in white and it’s hard to see. Also, I didn’t realize once I chose a version I couldn’t change it. NASB -I would like the NIV but have yet to figure out a way to change.

Navigators Topical Memory System app
Awesome electronic version of the renowned bible memory system. The perfect tool for spiritual growth. Get it!

A vital tool desperately needing an update
Having used the physical TMS for years, this app, unfortunately, not only underwhelms but proves as deficient as previous ill reviews attest. While an awesome idea, the UI looks like something from well over a decade ago, it lacks versatile custom settings, and upon purchasing and trying to set a User, the text box wouldn't even display the letters I was typing as I typed them. And then it proceeded to crash constantly as I tried to navigate to another page. Further, the app developer’s developer site doesn’t even exist. I emailed via Info > Feedback a review, but not sure how far that will go

Desperately needs an update
The system is good, but the app desperately needs to be updated. Seems like it hasn’t been improved in a decade. You cannot increase the font size and the user interface is clunky. The navigation doesn’t flow like you’d expect for apps in 2021 but more like apps a decade ago. This could easily be a five star app if they’d hire an app developer to fix the UI.

Needs options
For older NavsTMS users a dark larger font is needed please. Maybe option to choose size and background too. As others said and option to add additional personal verses to a topic would be nice. Thanks for having all theses traditional packs on an app

Terrible app
It only allows you to memorize a handful of verses without the option to add your own verses. Buttons are horrendous to use and ugly platform I love the idea but it’s a terrible way to execute a good idea.
★★★★★
Great for reviewing
Actually enjoyed the often druggy and diligence it takes to review memorized verses Plus this whole system is great for both new and growing followers of Christ Jay

Excellent
I enjoy memorizing scripture and Topical memory system is a great for memorizing scripture. My church has used Navigators material for years and I have learned so much!! I thank God and the Navigators for blessing me. I pray God continue to bless you and keep!!

Feature Request: Add personal verses!
James, how about letting add and manage personal verses. Including embedding them in the current TMS topics?
LuckyLiveHI2019-01-23

Dear Developer
Thank you for creating this app. Could you add the ability to change a verse from MEMORIZED to NOT MEMORIZED? Sometimes we forgot a verse and need to refocus on it. Also, could you allow user to select the version for each verse?

Systematic and helpful
I was able to use the app while waiting in lines and making the most of other “down time”. I was hoping to share the app with my family, as it says I can be enabling family share - but I have yet to see that function on the App. I see where to add a user, but they’d have to use my phone, which is not my intention.
★★★★
Accurate, needs minor improvement
Was working off of the NKJV cards until I got the app. 1Jn 1:3 and Numbers 23:19 have minor errors on the cards, which the app corrected me on. Recommended change: as I say these and check them off, I'd like the ability to uncheck any verses that I missed so that I can go back and review that week.

Great way to review!
I did the TMS years ago and this is a great way to review what I memorized. Review is the key and this is a great way to do it.
