Young's Literal Translation (YLT) is a translation of the Bible into English. The translation was made by Robert Young, compiler of Young's Analytical Concordance to the Bible and Concise Critical Comments on the New Testament. Produced and printed in the late 19th century, Young's Literal Translation was designed to assist students in the close study of the Biblical text by reproducing in English the Hebrew and Greek language and idioms in an exceedingly literal translation. 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.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Deshen at none against YLT Bible's 1. Deshen also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 4 weeks vs every 15 months). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
