Description
Simple to use Bible app showing versions in colored columns that tell you how literal each is and study helps that show you how to Read The Bible So God Speaks To You.
This Bible app is simple, simple, simple to use. I kept simplifying the design of this app until my talented, but computer-challenged, wife could use it without guidance. She is the one to thank for how easy Spectrum Bible™ is to use and my time as AOL Chief Architect taught me to listen to her.
A quick swipe left or right shows you the same passage in another translation. The left-most column shows the whole passage in the original Greek or Hebrew. You can quickly tell you how literal a version is by its color: sky blues and purples are word-for-word translations, transitional greens are for the phrase-for-phrase translations, and earth tones are for the thought-for-thought translations.
The study helps that come with Spectrum Bible™ include a book and study guides that spring out of our Dallas Theological Seminary training that and take you through a simple four step approach to reading the Bible and address how to stay motivated while you do it.
The Greek New Testament and the Hebrew Old Testament is included and is presented so simply that you can touch a word and get its meaning and parsing without knowing anything about Greek or Hebrew. The Original Language Nuggets Tool is also included so that, with in-app additions from the store, you can easily track any word back to the Greek or Hebrew word it translates. Even if you can not pronounce it, in seconds Spectrum Bible™ enables you to find all the places the word is used and narrow down your understanding of its meaning.
The Internet is NOT required to use this Bible. That's because each Bible is stored on your Phone or Pad. That is also why the app is so fast. If you are wondering about how much space it takes up on your Phone or Pad, if you upgrade to the Fully Loaded bulk purchase option and download everything to your device, that takes up less space than one 15 second video.
The resources that come with the free download and the bulk purchasing options in the store give you a simple way to get fully setup. The study helps give you a tool that is integrated into the app so you can increase your Bible reading skill anywhere on your phone.

Ratings and Reviews
Five Star Plus
I really appreciate the spectrum app. I first downloaded it as the wave. At the time it was mainly for the original languages, then it was just the Greek. When the Hebrew was added I found it even more useful. This is one of my go to sources when studying scripture for lessons and sermons. The developers are really top tier. Very helpful and I believe committed to providing a resource that even beginners can use. I would rate them another five stars for their help in learning how to use the spectrum to it greatest potential for me.
Use It Daily
I enjoy using this app daily. I like the side by side of more than one version and I even purchased another version that was not for free. You can take notes and I’m sure I’m not even utilizing all it has to offer.
There were a few glitches: when a version was no longer free, there would be a blank space where it once was and I couldn’t simply close the gap and the version I purchased wouldn’t show up at all. Once I emailed them they responded quickly (had to uninstall, then install again) and it worked. I use this on my IPad.
(updated review to 5 stars)
I use it every morning. It has never crashed once, until the update. When I search Psalms it crashes to home. Paralleling Old and New Testaments Original text, KJV, and Message. Using iPad Pro 9.7 iOS 10.3.3 and NOT going to iOS 11 for performance throttling and sly manipulation to upgrade my iPad. (Reinstalled and seems to be working properly now) Thanks to the developers for a quick response ! You have a great app and should be proud.
