The PARALLEL PLUS® Bible-study app is for pastors, lay leaders, and others actively seeking a deeper understanding of the Scriptures. PARALLEL: up to 8 columns, 190+ versions. PLUS Greek and Hebrew word studies (verse lists, unabridged Thayer/BDB/Schleusner, word families). PLUS exegetic helps (parsings, translation tips).
Excerpt from the TheBible.org About page on their website.

EXPERIENCE IT: As you read down the column in one version, when you
encounter a verse you'd like to better understand, just move your eyes left-and right to see how other versions express that verse in its context, and then
continue reading the chapter. The idea is to introduce as little eye movement as
possible, so you can get into the Scriptures and stay there for a while.
BIBLICAL LANGUAGES: See Hebrew and Greek in parallel with other versions.
Plus tap any word to lookup the corresponding Hebrew or Greek word and its
occurrences. Plus tap any verse to lookup Hebrew or Greek details in a verse:
phonetics, parsings, parts of speech, translation tips.
GO DEEPER: Tap any word, then tap “word study” to see: verse lists, lexical
entries, and word families. Tap any verse, then tap “verse study” to see verse-ata-time helps: color-coded parts-of-speech, word forms, phonetics, syllables, and
translation tips. It also helps you find familiar Bible verses, even when you only
remember a few words; enter "God so loved" in the search box and see where
that phrase occurs in every Bible version in your parallel Bible.
PROTESTANT, CATHOLIC: This app automatically aligns verses—by verse
content—and displays corresponding verse numbers when different.
COMMENTARY FREE: The act of reading versions in parallel helps readers to
understand more deeply. Even without commentary. We feel this is so important
that we do not include commentary in our app.
LANGUAGES: Biblical Hebrew and Greek plus English, French, German, Hindi,
Russian, Spanish, Tagalog, and about 80 others.
