## What is Strong's Concordance?

Strong's Concordance, is a concordance of the King James Bible (KJV) that was constructed under the direction of Dr. James Strong (1822–1894) and first published in 1890.

A concordance lets the reader directly compare how the same word may be used else where in the Bible. In this way the Strong's Concordance provides an independent check against translations, and offers an opportunity for greater, and more technically accurate understanding of the Bible text.

Want to see it in action before you buy? Try Strong's Concordance Lite which provides a 100% functional demo of Matthew and Genesis.

This program does not require internet access, everything you need is all stored on the iDevice.

Features:
* Search for English words, and lookup Greek/Hebrew dictionaries.
* Proper concordance, listing how the word was translated in other bible verses.
* Full King James Text is included
* Click on any blue word for concordance text.
* Night mode for those that like to read at night (White on black)
* iPad support

Please note: This version is not an "exhaustive" concordance, and does skip smaller words such as "and, or, the, a" as well as some other words. Though we think you'll find it has most (if not all) the words you'll ever need.

We're open to suggestions for improvement in future versions. Send comments and suggestions to strongs at orionsys.org.

### 4/5 — I love this app

*2025-12-11, version 3.0.3*

I have used this app almost daily for years and love it. However, it has started to behave inconsistently recently and when I touch a word it all disappears

### 2/5 — Love this

*2025-10-18, version 3.0.3*

I have used this every day but…. This app is phenomenal I have it on my phone and iPad. But it no longer works on my iPad. It opens but as soon as I touch anything it closes itself. I’ve deleted and reinstalled it and nothing works. I upgraded and still have the same problem. My phone still works fine. I haven’t used 50% storage yet so I’m really disappointed and I can’t get any support.

### 1/5 — App stop working

*2024-04-06, version 3.0.3*

I purchase this app and every time I try to use it now the app shut down. I have reached out to the support team and no one has responded. This is bad, bad business!

### 1/5 — Purchased the app but it doesn’t update & keeps crashing

*2023-10-14, version 3.0.3*

Purchased the app but it doesn’t update & keeps crashing. Could you please fix this issue. Thanks in advance. Please update as it keeps crashing.

### 1/5 — Frequent crashes

*2023-10-10, version 3.0.3*

Horrible experience! No matter what I click on within the app it crashes!

### 1/5 — Don’t bother

*2023-07-19, version 3.0.3*

I have used this app for many, many years. It WAS fantastic. But then all of a sudden, the app started crashing. As soon as I tap on a word to search, the app shuts down. I wish they would do an update, but it’s been 5 years and nothing. It’s super disappointing because I have paid for this app TWICE.

### 3/5 — Not working

*2023-07-07, version 3.0.3*

When I tap on anything at all it crashes

### 1/5 — No longer able to search the concordance

*2023-05-31, version 3.0.3*

I don’t love this app any more. When I try to drill down to the concordance, the app closes and my “home” screen appears. As a Bible Study leader, I miss the convenience of using Strong’s on my iPhone 14. Please correct this. 🥲

### 1/5 — Crashing

*2023-05-19, version 3.0.3*

Are used to like this app and use it all the time however, lately when I click on a word, it crashes, even after installing and reinstalling the app

### 5/5 — Best Strong’s Concordance

*2023-05-09, version 3.0.3*

I’ve used this app for close to 10 years and love it! I’ve tried the other apps because they seem to be more popular, but I keep coming back to this one. It’s simple and helps me understand the Bible in a Spirit lead way rather than a man fed way. Thank you for taking the time to write this app. It has blessed me.
