This version works on the iPhone and iPod Touch, but isn't Universal. Check Out Touch Bible HD (KJV + Strong's) for a Universal version of this app.

Touch Bible helps you comprehend tough words so you will enjoy reading the Bible more than ever! Those lesser known words of the Bible are finally given clarity with only a tap.

** Strong's Concordance? **
What is the Strong's Concordance? The words in the Bible are numbered. Those numbers (Strong numbers) are tied to verses and definitions (lexicons) from the original languages of the Bible. You can find verses and definitions using these numbers.

Sounds technical (and it used to be), but Touch Bible makes this super easy:
1. While you read the bible you'll see that most words are links.
2. Tap on a linked word and you'll get so much information about the word.

- If you need to look up a word simply search for it (or it's number) and tap the link in the Bible reader.

Customer Reviews

Copying sections to notes (2 stars)
Just recently updated the app and now the number of the verses are not all to the left side of the page, but are now staggered making it way too difficult to copy & paste to notes section for my thoughts on a verse/section. Not sure I like the paleness of the highlighted concordance words....not enough contrast for ease of use. I paid for this app specifically for the concordance and whether the contrast is changed through settings or no

Not so great. (2 stars)
You can't even use full screen, change background colors, font, etc. No full screen is a major dissapointment. Blue letter bible is free and so much better. I deleted this after a minute of use (and trying all options).

I mostly got this one because of the concordance. Blue letter bible pretty much has a concordance as well but many more features and customization options.

SAVE YOUR MONEY!

Works for me! (5 stars)
Though it may not work on iPad, it works perfectly on both of my iTouch devices:
A) 1st Generation w/OS v3.1.3
B) 4th Generation w/OS v4.3.1
