Strong's numbers, and the chain of searches you walked. Two things the desktop does not do over the King James, and the reason this is 3.0. STRONG'S NUMBERS ON EVERY WORD Tap a word and its Strong's number is there, with the Hebrew or Greek word behind it, the transliteration, the pronunciation and Strong's own definition — above Webster's, in the same sheet. A word that renders two originals shows both. When a number belongs to a phrase rather than the one word, the sheet says so: tap "the" in "In the beginning" and it reads "for In the beginning", not as though "the" were H7225. The numbers are aligned to every one of the 790,849 words, and the alignment was checked verse by verse — all 31,232 records, the Psalm titles and the colophons included. The app refuses a build in which any verse failed to align, so a number on the wrong word is not a thing this app can show you. SEARCH BY NUMBER Type H7225 into the search box, or tap the search icon beside any number, and every rendering of that original word is found and counted — the concordance the desktop cannot give over the King James. Each phrase a number covers is one hit and lights as one: "In the beginning" is one occurrence of H7225, not three. Scope, Search Within, exclusions and the filters all apply, and the copy formats carry it like any search. THE CHAIN OF SEARCHES Tapping Search on a word has always replaced the search; now the app remembers how you got there. Search LORD, open Exodus 3:2, tap "fire" and search it, open Genesis 19:24, tap "heaven" — and a strip above the results reads the path back to you, with the counts: LORD 6,510, then fire 390, then heaven 582. Tap a crumb to return to that search; what came after is kept as a branch, listed behind a chevron. Press and hold a crumb to open the verse the next word was taken from, with the word lit. The chain is kept across a restart, and Clear search ends it. The chain reference this audience knows from the Thompson — except that it is the one you walked. ALSO Strong's and Webster's each open and close on their own, and the app remembers which you keep open. Still no account, no network, nothing collected.

A search to the clipboard, and back. Two new buttons sit beside Add phrase. Export copies the search you have open — its phrases, scope, Search Within and filters — as text you can paste into a message or a note. Import reads one back off the clipboard, in place of whatever you are searching. The text is the same format Saved searches exports, so a search sent this way can also be filed on the other phone from the Saved menu. Whole words, counted. The totals line now says how many of a search's occurrences stand as the bare word with nothing after them — the number the punctuation row has always led with, carried up beside occurrences, verses, chapters and books: 973 occurrences, 777 whole words. A phrase filtered to a mark reports what that filter leaves. The app opens quietly. The search box no longer takes the keyboard the moment the app starts, so the recent searches, the examples and the operator reference are all in view; one tap on the box brings the keyboard back. The app's name in the top bar shrinks to fit rather than being cut short.

One verse at a time. Settings and the reader's Display sheet both carry a switch that puts a single verse alone in the middle of the page, labelled with its chapter and verse. Swipe up for the next one, down for the one before, and keep going past the end of a chapter into the next — the sequence runs the length of the Bible, so Malachi runs into Matthew as it does when you read it. Off unless you turn it on. A rail beside the text says where you are. One mark per verse down the right-hand edge, the current one filled, the first and last numbered — so a single verse on a page still tells you how far through the chapter it sits. Press the rail and drag to move: the verse number shows above it and the page turns when you let go, so passing forty verses does not draw forty of them. Slide your thumb away from the rail as you drag and it slows down, which is what makes Psalm 119 reachable a verse at a time. Tap the rail for the whole chapter at once. Every verse as a numbered tile, the one you are reading marked — for when you want verse 43 rather than somewhere near it. A psalm's title is a tile of its own, because a superscription is something to read and not verse 1. A long verse still fits. Esther 8:9 is the longest in the Bible and it is sized down to the page rather than left to scroll, so a swipe always turns the verse instead of moving it. The reader keeps your place in this mode as it always has in the other: close the app on John 3:16 and it opens there Opened from a bookmark, a search result or Go to, the reader arrives at that verse and not at the top of its chapter — in this mode as in the full page.

Share a folder of saved searches. Every folder in Saved now has Export in its menu, and the Saved line has Export all. Export hands the whole folder to the share sheet as plain text, so it can go by mail, message or notes, or simply be copied. There is no file to attach and nothing to lose in transit. Import someone else's. Copy the message they sent you, then choose Import from clipboard on the Saved line. The app says how many searches are coming and which folder they will go into before anything is added, and they arrive in a folder of their own, so another person's searches never mix into yours. Text still imports after a reply has quoted it, a notes app has re-wrapped it, or a greeting and a signature have been added around it. An exported search is small. A single search is 84 characters of text. Searches that use red letter, italics, the paragraph filter or the punctuation and apostrophe settings travel complete, which the desktop .kjs format cannot carry. Fixed: deleting a folder no longer leaves the same search twice. Its searches still move to Default, but one Default already holds is dropped rather than copied there beside itself. The confirmation says exactly what will move and what is already there. Fixed: the numbers on the details sheet line up on the left, where they used to read as centered.

The search keys sit above the keyboard. The *, ?, [ ] and | that searches are written in were two or three keyboard switches deep on a phone; they are one tap away now, in a row above the keyboard with Add phrase beside them. The brackets arrive as a pair with the cursor between them. Part-way through a word the first suggestion is the word with a star — type "baptiz" and "baptiz*" searches every form of it at once. The return key adds a phrase too, and folding a search up clears away any phrase left empty. Fixed: a colophon is no longer counted as a verse. The notes at the end of fourteen books and the 116 Psalm titles are searchable text that carries no verse number, and a hit in one was being added to the verse and chapter totals. "Paul" in the colophon of 2 Timothy was making one search report 778 verses in 354 chapters where the desktop reports 777 in 353. The occurrence counts were always right; 103 of the built-in searches were reporting too many verses and now report what the desktop does. Fixed: clearing your recent searches clears them from the opening screen at once, rather than leaving them there until something else refreshed it.

Compare a verse with other versions. Turn on "Compare with other versions" under Settings, Display, and a small button appears before the verse number in the reader. Tap it and that verse opens on kjvcompare.com in your browser, set beside the other translations, so the King James reading can be checked against them and the app is one tap away when you come back. The button appears only on verses that site has a page for, so it never leads nowhere. Off by default. Gematria, under every verse and every search term. Tap a search result for its counts and, beneath the letters, vowels and consonants, the sheet gives the verse's ordinal gematria (a = 1 through z = 26) and its reverse (z = 1 through a = 26). Each occurrence of the search gets the same three lines for the words it matched, and so does a word tapped while reading. The details sheet reads more plainly. It is headed "Ruth 4:17 word 33", or "(2x) Genesis 1:27 word 4,12" when a verse holds the search twice, and each occurrence is "Word 14 "Jesus Christ"", numbered only when there is a second to tell it from. The details sheet now copies exactly what it shows. Press Copy and the paste reads as the screen does: the same headings, the thousands separators, the arithmetic beside a named number, the gematria lines. It used to paste the Book, Chapter and Verse block twice and garble the heading of each occurrence. Go to the Nth. Every count on the details sheet can be tapped: "7,208 of 31,102 of Bible" opens a prompt already filled in, and typing 15551 shows "Psalms 103:1" before you go. Which verse is the 15,551st of the Bible, which chapter the 666th, which word the 400,000th, within the whole Bible, a testament, a book or a chapter. Go opens the reader there, with the word lit when you counted words. Move. A compass on the reader's bar counts from the verse at the top of the screen: back or forward, so many words, verses, chapters or books, and the answer as you type it: "147 verses before Psalms 103:1 is Psalms 91:8". "From here next" counts on from the answer. The word sheet can move from an exact word. A move counts flips, not places, and starts at the start of the unit it moves by, so five books back from Revelation 12:6 is 2 Peter 1:1. Add phrase now sits above the keyboard. Building a search of several phrases meant scrolling to the foot of the query for every one of them. The bar that offers the next word carries an Add phrase of its own now, so a phrase is typed and the next one begun without the query moving at all. The return key does the same thing. Fixed: a colophon is no longer counted as a verse. The notes at the end of fourteen books and the 116 Psalm titles are searchable text that carries no verse number, and a hit in one was being added to the verse and chapter totals. "Paul" in the colophon of 2 Timothy was making one search report 778 verses in 354 chapters where the desktop reports 777 in 353. The occurrence counts were always right; 103 of the built-in searches were reporting too many verses and now report what the desktop does. Clear search is on the toolbar, and the reader's bar keeps Move and Display, with Emphasized words and Copy chapter behind its menu.

The punctuation and text-type filters are no longer behind a setting. They are the two questions this app can ask that the desktop cannot, and they are now on the search screen from the start. Under each phrase, one line answers the question most often asked of it: "Jesus" occurs 973 times, 777 of them whole words with nothing after them. Tap it for the full set of marks. Text type is its own screen now, with every attribute named for what it means — red letter, words of Christ; italics, supplied words — and a running count behind it as you choose. Tap a word while reading and you can search for it: the word goes into a cleared search box, ready to narrow. That sheet also remembers which half you had open, the counts or Webster's, rather than shutting both for every word. A long result has a way back. Scroll well down and a button appears that returns you to the top in one tap. Search Within keeps your selection however you leave it, by the back button or the swipe. No Done button to remember. Where to search, how the phrases must fall together and which text counts now sit together in one panel instead of scattered across the screen. Fixes: the collapse arrow works while the keyboard is up, and scrolling the results no longer folds the search controls away mid-swipe.

Total overhaul of the main screen user interface. Much easier and less confusing to select books, italics, red letters. The option for extended searches is now built-in and works for all searches. Added to the Built-In search library, "In The Beginning Jesus" which totals 77,777 matches in the King James Bible.
