# LDS Scripture Focus vs Apocrypha

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Apocrypha at none against LDS Scripture Focus's 1. Apocrypha also leads on rating (4.7 vs 4.3) and ratings volume (643 vs 48). LDS Scripture Focus's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 15.0). On price, review sentiment, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. LDS Scripture Focus sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Apocrypha asks for nothing beyond the download.

Apocrypha holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Apocrypha has 643 ratings behind it against 48, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 79% of LDS Scripture Focus's written reviews are positive against 73% of Apocrypha's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
