In 1604, King James I of England authorized that a new translation of the Bible into English be started. It was finished in 1611, just 85 years after the first translation of the New Testament into English appeared (Tyndale, 1526). The Authorized Version, or King James Version, quickly became the standard for English-speaking Protestants. Its flowing language and prose rhythm has had a profound influence on the literature of the past 400 years. The King James Version present on the Bible Gateway matches the 1987 printing. The KJV is public domain in the United States. Benefits of application: - The application works without an internet connection (offline); - Ability to search; - Ability to increase / decrease the font; - Ability to create an unlimited number of tabs to a particular verse, one of the books; - If you are interested in the allocation of poems you can copy or send a message; - Ability to scroll through the volume buttons. Our team is not in place, and aims to expand its functional applications. User guide: Each menu item is a separate book, and each separate page in one of the books is the chapter. Place the cursor instead of the chapter number and enter the chapter number. Thus, you will not have to scroll all the chapters, selecting interesting.

King James Version.'s advantage is monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs paid) and ratings volume (252 vs 43). On price, rating, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
