Verdict

The call

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Public Reading of Scripture holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Public Reading of Scripture has 618 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of dot.Bible 官話 (Mandarin)'s written reviews are positive against 55% of Public Reading of Scripture's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

dot.Bible 官話 (Mandarin) ships an update every 5 months, Public Reading of Scripture every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and November 8, 2026 respectively.
