Serious study without clutter
Everything stays close to the text.
Traverse Bible is built for readers who want the reference shelf without juggling accounts, websites, subscriptions, or extra apps.
Recorded narration follows the verse.
Download free audio readings once, then listen offline with synchronized verse highlighting, lock-screen controls, adjustable speed, and a sleep timer.
Your notes stay private.
Bookmarks, formatted notes, tags, and reading history live on device, sync through your private iCloud database, and can be exported whenever you need a backup.
Original languages and reference tools
Tap a word, name, place, or topic and keep going.
Strong's entries, classic lexicons, people and places, topic trails, and cross-references connect back into the reader instead of becoming a separate research session.
- Hebrew Old Testament and Greek New Testament with transliterations and glosses.
- Strong's, Abbott-Smith, Thayer's, Brown-Driver-Briggs, and Liddell-Scott-Jones.
- Over 4,000 biblical people and places with family links, dictionary articles, and map locations.
- Nave's and Torrey's topic references for moving through themes across Scripture.
Offline reference library
A whole study shelf in one free app.
Translations, original-language corpora, lexicons, cross-references, people, places, topics, and search ship with the app. Audio and commentaries download once when you want them.
