...another reason is that KJV is not currently under copyright, unlike (as far as I know) all modern English translations.

Fun fact: in the United Kingdom, the King James Version is still copyrighted—perpetually copyrighted, in fact—by (who else?) the British monarchy.

Since the author of this app is based in the United States, he should be safe… we have a bit of precedent for ignoring royal prerogatives here :)

I think there are a couple of free and open translations that are reasonable - the WEB (World English Bible) maybe.
