  • Too much interference by ads

    The ads pop up before you can even read the daily verse. You can’t close them until the ad has shown for a certain amount of time. I’m mostly seeing games or gambling ads even though I don’t do either of these things. Mega annoying when I’m seeking the Word of God. I may delete the app.
  • Great on laptop, awful app

    I have Bible Gateway+. But the app doesn’t work very well. It shuts down a lot, and the Bible search function doesn’t go well, and some of the buttons seem too high on the screen to actually work, which is weird.
  • Freaking out

    The app has been freaking out lately. Certain audio chapters and books keeps skipping to Revelations. Can’t play Jude and the book of Johns and some Old Testament books.
  • You really think this is ok?

    So frustrated with this app and ads everywhere. I just want to open the app to see the daily verse and I’m bombarded with ads! And half the time the app won’t even load, has a white out screen because of all the ads. I used to love this app and I’ve had it for years, now I’m probably just gonna delete it.

  • Getting worse and too many ads

    I have used this app for years, and it was my preference over some of the more popular ones. (I appreciate their website.) But when they started having advertisements, that was discouraging. It seems that nobody is reviewing the ads, as I have had some inappropriate ads pop up that you would not expect on a Christian app. I have been pretty annoyed with it. This week I just got a new iPhone, the latest model, and now the app does not even fit correctly on the screen. navigation icons are inaccessible for tapping because they are too close to the edges of the screen and trigger various functions of the phone instead of navigating through the app. This is a major flaw! If they release a major update, I may consider continuing to use the app, but as it is right now, I cannot even navigate with it. It is almost useless on my phone. The ads are still working. Just not the Bible part. Bummer. I would rather pay for this app to have it function and have no ads then to have this free version that doesn’t work and has advertisements.

  • Crash Lands everyday.

    Have uploaded, removed. Uploaded, removed far too many times. Rarely works well. Use to so what went wrong? Very good app if it only worked
  • Improvements

    Please update to include the Māori translation as well as others that are on the site but not the app.
  • When it works it’s great.

    When it works it’s great. At the moment the app opens but when I try to open the Bible it shuts down. Often defaults to Genesis 1 instead of where I left off. In audio Bible instead of where I left off it may go to Genesis 1 or randomly take me to another book and chapter when I come back to listen or I have had it show one book and chapter and have a different one being read. Resources are great but frustration with app over all is getting old.

  • Keeps crashing

    So sorry to have to post this here.
    My app keeps crashing on Bible view. It is the updated version. Already contacted support about this and have since removed and downloaded the app with no change. Something is not right with the app, and I’m sure it it will be figured out soon
  • Crashing

    I had been using the website and decided to get the app. While I prefer physical Bible it was getting hard to carry my heavy Bible with commentary my husbands and our notebooks and our toddler so I decided to try the app and recommended it to my husband. But one day I tried to open the app and search for a passage in class and it just kept crashing over and over so I was forced back to google and using a website. Thankful I had WiFi available as the cellular signal was not strong. Tried a few more times and would get frustrated that I had to manually search scroll to find a book or the Bible. I could not figure out how to get the app to search for the book by typing the book name. If your familiar with the order of the Bible books it’s no problem but if I have to scroll to find the book that takes too much time. But I gave it another try and today went to do my Bible study and the app kept crashing over and over. I would click on a button and bam app crashes. Tried to delete app reinstall same thing happened so for now I will be deleting the app and finding a new one.
