My review of Scripture Memory System Advanced v6.4 for Palm


This morning I'm looking at a Palm PDA program that will help you organize your memory verses, prayer requests, acts as a journal, keeps sermon notes, and has a daily reader that works with Bible+. This freeware app is called Scripture Memory System Advanced v6.4. It hasn't been updated in over a year, but it works just fine on my Lifedrive and I haven't had any negative effects from running the program.

First off the main purpose for Scripture Memory System Advanced is its ability to help you memorize Scripture. When you first start the program, you will open to a menu screen like this one to the left. At the top right you will see 3 buttons, main, edit, and view. Main acts as a home button and takes you back to the home screen. Edit allows you to add more verses to the verses database. View allows you to view them so you can easily and quickly review them.

Below the title bar with those buttons, you will see Review Tools. These tools help with your memorizing of your verses. The review mode allows you to see all your categories of verses or just one particular category. From here, you can choose which verse you want to review and work on. Flash Verse picks a random verse for you to work on from your different categories (series). The Flash Review is probably the most helpful part of this application. It is here you would “quiz” yourself and see how well you know that verse. The program chooses a verse by random and gives you the reference. You then say it to yourself and tap show to see how well you did. If you need help, you can tap hint and the program will reveal the first part of the verse. To me, this is quite helpful as the program works with you as you memorize these verses. Since you can add more categories and verses, the program itself would prove to be a keeper over time.

While its main strength is helping you memorize verses, you can also keep track of your Bible reading, prayer requests, sermons, and journal notes. A couple interesting points about journal notes. The notes can be export to the memo or doc format. You can also backup or restore the journal notes to or from your SD card. You are also able to set a password for journal notes as well as prayer requests and sermons. The Prayers is really cool. I can list all my requests and add more details for each request and then when the prayer request is answered I can check it. This part has been very useful to me.

Overall I really like Scripture Memory System Advanced as it’s the perfect tool for any Christian seeking to memorize the Word of God. With its extras like Prayers, journal, Bible reading, sermons, you can stay organize and on top of your spiritual life with this program. If you own a Palm device, check out Scripture Memory System Advanced. There is a desktop companion that is available for $19.95. I haven’t tried that yet, but I will probably do that later this weekend. The PDA version though is free and can be downloaded here.
