There's gotta be a way to crowd source this. Like a subreddit for people interested in apps/software that isn't subscription based.

There's a bible app called YouVersion that's by far the most popular app on both iOS and Android.

"YouVersion Bible is notorious for privacy violations and dangerous data collection. Yet, here it is: still seated firmly in the Play Store, racking up over 100 million installs with a whopping 22 permission requests."

They company owns the bible.com domain. Hobby Lobby Stores, Inc. billionaire founder/owner David Green as supported it.
