Spectrum Bible

This is a free Bible app with distinctives. First, the guy that wrote it was AOL's Chief Architect so it is easy to use. Second, this guy also has a Th.M. from Dallas Theological Seminary so he makes the Greek and Hebrew easy to use and the differences between Bible translations understandable. Most apps present Bible translations like a smorgasbord of choices without giving any way to choose between them. This app places the Greek and Hebrew alongside a spectrum of translations--from the most literal to the most paraphrased. It also color codes them so you know what each one is good at: blues are word-for-word translations and are accurate to the specific words, greens are phrase-for-phrase translations and are accurate to the phrase, and earth tones are thought-for-thought translations and are good at thoughts. Finally, it doesn't need the Internet or WiFi. You can go out under a tree somewhere and have full and fast access to all the Bibles. You might think of this app as the "AOL" (the simple one) of Bible apps.
