Spectrum Bible™
A Spectrum of English Bibles
The Bible columns are ordered from the most literal translation to the most paraphrased. The colors tell you what the translation is good at. The columns scroll together aligned on the current verse.
Simple Greek & Hebrew
Without recognizing Greek, Hebrew, or Aramaic when you touch a Greek, Hebrew, or Aramaic word you get its meaning and form. Then when you touch the Search button you get every place it occurs in the Bible--perfect for quick Greek, Hebrew, or Aramaic Word Studies.
Steps to Becoming a
Self-Feeder
At the heart of Spectrum Bible™ is the book, "How To Read The Bible So God Speaks To You," where you discover how to use the app to become a spiritual Self-Feeder, how to repair your 1st Love motivation for God, find great verses, and learn to pray.

Demo
The videos below describe how to use Spectrum Bible™. This introductory video (0:51) gives a little bit about the history, author, and background of the app.
Navigation & Lookup
This video demonstrates how to lookup Bible verses, search for verses, and move between different Bible versions. All four types of Bible lookups are demonstrated: List lookup, Wheel lookup, Slider lookup, and Keyboard lookup (10:40).
Greek for Everyone
It has always seemed like there was a huge wall between those that know the Bible's Original languages (Greek, Hebrew, and Aramaic) and those that do not. This video shows how Spectrum Bible™ helps jump the wall (4:49).
Pinch to Adjust Font, Columns, Rows
Spectrum Bible™ uses the Pinch gesture to adjust 3 things. A Horizontal Pinch adjusts the number of columns that are visible. A Diagonal Pinch adjusts the size of the font. A Vertical Pinch adjusts the number of independent rows that are visible on the screen (3:43).
Column Order & Color
The Bible columns are in a specific color and order that tells you what the version is good at. Blues are for word-for-word translations, transitional greens are for phrase-for-phrase translations, and earth tones are for thought-for-thought translations indicating the translation is best at words, phrases, or thoughts (5:35).
Share & Feedback
The Share button on the bottom bar at the far left is available at all points in Spectrum Bible™ and is where you can invoke common services like Copy Text (for copy/paste), Email Verse, Backup to Spectrum, and Bubble Help for learning new app capabilities (5:06).
The Heart of the App
