ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

NIV Commentary Offline holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7.

Written reviews complicate that: 40% of Scofield Reference Bible Com.'s written reviews are positive against 0% of NIV Commentary Offline's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Scofield Reference Bible Com. ships an update every 3 months, NIV Commentary Offline every 6 months. Both last shipped on November 3, 2026.
