BibleGraph turns the Bible into an interactive graph you can explore verse by verse. Pick any verse and see everything it connects to — sectioned and color-coded by book category, so hundreds of connections stay readable at a glance. Tap any node to travel there; tap a wedge to isolate a whole category or heading. CROSS-REFERENCE MODE (free) Every verse's classic Treasury of Scripture Knowledge, Enhanced (TSKe) cross-references, weighted by community-voted relevance. Search across three complete translations — Berean Standard Bible, King James Version, and World English Bible — with support for boolean search (AND / OR / NOT), exact phrases, and prefix matching. STRONG'S MODE (Full Access) See every verse that shares the same original Greek or Hebrew word as the one you're reading — a live connection to the text behind the translation. PEOPLE & PLACES MODE (Full Access) Follow any biblical person or place through every verse that mentions them, from Abraham to Zion. Built for reading, not just reference: verse-by-verse navigation, in-context reading windows, and a Plan of Salvation section for anyone exploring what the Bible teaches about salvation. Completely offline. No account, no ads, no data collection — everything runs on your device. Full Access is a one-time purchase, not a subscription — yours forever, on every device signed into your Apple ID.
