This is a free Bible app with distinctives. First, the guy that wrote it was AOL's Chief Architect so it is easy to use. Second, this guy also has a Th.M. from Dallas Theological Seminary so he makes the Greek and Hebrew easy to use and the differences between Bible translations understandable. Most apps present Bible translations like a smorgasbord of choices without giving any way to choose between them. This app places the Greek and Hebrew alongside a spectrum of translations--from the most literal to the most paraphrased. It also color codes them so you know what each one is good at: blues are word-for-word translations and are accurate to the specific words, greens are phrase-for-phrase translations and are accurate to the phrase, and earth tones are thought-for-thought translations and are good at thoughts. Finally, it doesn't need the Internet or WiFi. You can go out under a tree somewhere and have full and fast access to all the Bibles. You might think of this app as the "AOL" (the simple one) of Bible apps.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Greater Grace Silver Spring at none against Spectrum Bible's 10. Greater Grace Silver Spring also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 3 months). Spectrum Bible's advantage is iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.1). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
