The New Revised Standard Version is a thorough revision of the RSV of 1947/52 and 1971, which itself is a revision of the ASV of 1901. It includes a moderate attempt at using more gender-inclusive language.

What's New in Accordance Bible Software
3.4.4
September 3, 2024
Fixes
* Accordance would not handle a misspelled/ambiguous/'?' argument in a Topic search.
* When editing a User Note, Accordance would not maintain the selection/insertion point in the Edit view.
* The User Note view was not properly refreshed after closing the Edit view.
* Issue that could cause the same Text module to be added to the Library multiple times during Easy Install.
* Gloss files would not be properly installed.
Unicode Hyperlink fixes
* Accordance was not properly creating certain Resource/Accord links consistently. (e.g. Strong's Module/Field name)
* When pasting Resource/Accord Links into a Unicode User Note, the search argument could be displayed as gibberish (e.g. Greek/Hebrew text). Now the search argument is displayed as unicode with a valid (hidden) hyperlink.
* Hidden Hyperlinks with a mixture of Unicode/NonUnicode display text (e.g. a Resource Link with a Unicode search argument) could become corrupt after an (unrelated) Edit view update.
* The Edit view would corrupt certain types of links (and display error message) after using the backspace key to delete unicode characters.
I have been using Accordance for several years now. I use the desktop version on my iMac most mornings and the iPad version throughout the rest of the day. Accordance has replaced pretty much every other Bible/Bible study tool. I no longer open a paper Bible. I rarely launch other Bible software (and then only because I made purchases in them that I have yet to duplicate in Accordance). I suspect that I use Accordance more than most any other app on my iPad. I use it a lot. It is Brilliant. And perhaps, that says it all. Bogus apps don’t get used. This one does. And it keeps getting better. The app is updated regularly. If anyone is thinking of investing in a Bible software suite, I give my highest recommendation to Accordance! It is a joy to use and as a result, I’m reading and studying Scripture much more than I once did. Thank you Team Accordance!!
