Thanks for the great feedback! I do really like the idea of offline mode and integrating text-based commentary (there's definitely some great stuff out there).

I think the way YouVersion got around it was having the public domain versions downloadable (so KJV and ASV I think). Maybe that would be enough for now?

    It looks like they've fixed those issues. I just checked on my phone and I haven't given their app any permissions.

There are roughly 1,900 years of freely-usable commentaries, going by the rule of thumb that anything published in the US before 1923 is in the public domain. (The translations would have had to have been done before that year as well, I guess.) This could be an accessible way to get into e.g. St. Augustine's commentaries.

Just to double down on this, no offline mode is definitely a deal breaker for me as I usually turn off Internet when I want to be focused. For example while reading the Bible.
