It is free and it has many different translations. Recently a translation called “Catholic Public Domain Version” appeared on the app. I read some chapters and it seems pretty good. Does anyone know anything about the Catholic Public Domain Version?

There aren’t that many good Catholic translations. The NAB is more of a paraphrase than a translation and rather uninspiring. The DR is archaic and hard to read. The only one I have read that I would call “good” is the RSVCE. However I have not spent much time with the Jerusalem Bible and can’t speak to it.I have not used it and won’t.
