However this manuscript was lost in the 1812 fire at the Serampore press. Some parts of the Bible were translated into Kannada in 1812. In 1823 The New Testament was published. In 1831 the complete Bible was published in Kannada. Translators included John Hands, founder of the London Missionary Society station in Bellary in 1810, and William Reeve at Bellary and Bangalore. A revised version of the New Testament was published in 1850, and a further revised version was released in 1854.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: BIBL. at none against Kannada Bible's shown. BIBL. also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7). Kannada Bible's advantage is ratings volume (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (16.0 vs 18.0). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
