The holy bible revised version (RV) or English Revised Version (ERV) of the Bible is a late 19th-century British revision of the King James Version. It was the first and remains the only officially authorised and recognised revision of the King James Version in Britain. The work was entrusted to over 50 scholars from various denominations in Britain. American scholars were invited to co-operate, by correspondence. The new revised standard version bible Testament was published in 1881, the Old Testament in 1885, and the Apocrypha in 1894. The best known of the translation committee members were Brooke Foss Westcott and Fenton John Anthony Hort; their fiercest critic of that period was John William Burgon.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Revised Version Bible at none against RSV Bible's 4. Revised Version Bible also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (5.0 vs 4.6). RSV Bible's advantage is review sentiment (26% vs 0%) and ratings volume (608 vs 1). On price there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. RSV Bible sells 4 one-off in-app purchases. Revised Version Bible asks for nothing beyond the download.
Revised Version Bible holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: RSV Bible has 608 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 26% of RSV Bible's written reviews are positive against 0% of Revised Version Bible's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
