OnYourWay Pro edition, is an offline iOS app with many english translation side by side and with internal text referance (loading might be slow, activate in the mefarshim menu) ובלכתך בדרך גרסה מלאה אפליקציית איפון ללא צורך באינטרנט, באפליקציה יש הרבה טקסטים מתורגמים לאנגלית וכן קישורים בין הטקסטים השונים (הטעינה איטית ולכן זה מכובה בברירת המחדל, יש לפתוח דרך תפריט המפרשים)

Verdict

ArtScroll Digital Library's advantage is update cadence (every 8 days vs every 4 weeks) and ratings volume (149 vs 21). On price, rating, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
