Note to existing app users: If you are having trouble installing the new version, DO NOT UNINSTALL or you will LOSE YOUR NOTES! Please contact support with error messages and/or screenshots so we can assist! The את Cepher is a collection of sacred scripture that restores much of what has been removed and/or incorrectly interpreted in the Bible for centuries! • Sets forth a transliteration, rather than a substitution of the names of the Father (Yahuah), Son (Yahusha) and Holy Spirit (Ruach Ha’Qodesh). • Transliterates over 3,100 other Hebrew names and places without substitution. • Restores the Aleph Tav את throughout the text; previously omitted in other English translations. • Includes all of the 81 previously canonized books, plus another 6 books considered to be inspired and/or historically significant: Chanok (Enoch) & Yovheliym (Jubilees) from the Dead Sea Scrolls, as well as Yashar (Jasher), 3 & 4 Ezra (1st & 2nd Esdras), 2 Baruch, and Hadaccah (Additions to Esther) – for a total of 87 books. • Restores an accurate order to the books as they were originally written. • Corrects many notorious errors found in virtually all previous English translations, such as Yeshayahu (Isaiah) 14, Zakaryahu (Zechariah) 5, and Mattithyahu (Matthew) 23. • Restores Chapters 151-155 of Tehilliym (Psalms); and the Acrostic Psalms 35 and 145, together with the Acrostic format of Qoheleth (Ecclesiastes) are marked with Ivriyt (Hebrew) indicators. • Restores the Missing Fragment of 70 verses in 4 Ezra Chapter 7. • Restores the 29th chapter of Ma’asiym (The Acts of the Apostles) chronicling Pa’al’s (Apostle Paul’s) journey to Spain and Britain. The Cepher App allows you to easily search the scriptures by keyword, book, chapter or verse and is loaded with extra features, including: • Ability to sync personalization (notes, bookmarks, etc.) across devices by opting into cloud storage. • Highlighting available in seven different colors. • A Lexicon of all the transliterated Hebrew words found in the את Cepher. • The Daily Hebrew Prayers and/or Daily Scriptures on the home page. • Links to our Weekly Torah Portion, Dr. Stephen Pidgeon’s blog, articles and other free downloads available our website. • Ability to copy up to five verses at a time. One-time cost covers all future updates/ revisions to the text.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Praxis at 100% against Cepher's 53%. Praxis also leads on price (Free vs $21.99) and rating (5.0 vs 4.1). Cepher's advantage is ratings volume (334 vs 3) and chart position (#3 vs unranked). On ads, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
