C. H. Spurgeon: Isten ígéreteinek tárháza – azaz a hit csekkfüzete naponkénti használatra rövid, gyakorlati magyarázatokkal. Isten ígéretei – igen találóan – olyan csekkekhez hasonlíthatók, amelyeket bemutatás alapján bármikor be lehet váltani. A napi igék és Charles Spurgeon (1834-1892) gyakorlatias igemagyarázatai ma is erőt adhatnak azoknak, akik Isten segítségével szeretnék megélni életük minden örömét és kihívását. „Tekintsék olvasóim ezen ígéretek gazdag kínálatát csak „előételnek”, amely nem arra való, hogy zavarja a „főétkezést”, a Biblia olvasását, sőt ellenkezőleg: azt remélem, hogy kis könyvem fel fogja ébreszteni a vágyat a komolyabb bibliatanulmányozás iránt. Charles H. Spurgeon” Az Evangéliumi Kiadó engedélyével. © Funkciók: """"""" - éves naptár - napi elmélkedések - gondolatok speciális alkalmakra - kedvencek mentése

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: BibleRef at every 4 months against Spurgeon IIT's every 60 months. BibleRef also leads on ratings volume (180 vs 1). Spurgeon IIT's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 15.1). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Spurgeon IIT holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: BibleRef has 180 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 80% of Spurgeon IIT's written reviews are positive against 87% of BibleRef's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Spurgeon IIT ships an update every 60 months, BibleRef every 4 months. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
