Leave a Review Bible Gateway
Used to love it
I have always used this app, but after the last major upgrade, I am more often frustrated, which takes away from the joy of studying this book. It was formerly helpful that the app opened to the last verse searched. Now, every time it opens to Genesis 1. I also formerly loved the ability to quickly search different versions during a word study. Now, I have to switch versions, close the app, reopen the app and search for the verse again to reset the version. The search function is no longer helpful and I turn to Google for searching. The search will tell you how many hits there are, but you can only scroll down through a few before the scrolling stops. I can still use the app to read the Bible, but I will be searching for another app to use for study.Show lessattim77
App Doesn’t Work Anymore
This used to be the best Bible app. A few months ago it stopped working. It crashes all the time and now you have to watch ads that don’t allow you to actually read. I have hundreds of passages and verses highlighted that I cannot see anymore. Extremely frustrating! All the years I have used this app as my go to Bible app are now lost. What were the developers thinking? This app is now garbage.Show lessmlgondim
Doesn’t perform well at all!
I’m giving it three stars because it doesn’t seem fair to give it less when I’ve used it for so many years without any problems at all. But with the latest update it has gone haywire! I mostly listen to the audio while reading the words on a different device. The audio Bible ALWAYS goes back to Gen 1:1 and back to dramatization. Then when you choose your desired book and chapter, it reads from Gen 1:1. Only after you advance or go backwards with the arrows does it get on track… sometimes. I’ve been checking almost daily to see if there is another update to fix this issue. Please do so ASAP! I will change my rating then. I love this app.
Updated: I just deleted this app. I’m so frustrated with its performance. I’m probably gonna reinstall it hoping that will fix the issue. This was by far my favorite Bible app. I’ve just changed my rating from three to two stars.Show lessZcrobin
Must delete and reinstall after update
Update:
It seems that the most recent update caused an issue with the cache or something. The only way to clear the cache on iOS for an app is to delete it, and then reinstall. I have had to do this on another app that I use, too.
Anyway, deleting and reinstalling solved my problem with having blank pages when trying to read the Bible. This has never been my main Bible app, but this resolved my issues.
Earlier review:
I had used this app occasionally when looking up different translations. I have other Bible apps that I use more, but I still use this one sometimes. This is the only app with the NRSVUE on it that I have. I wanted to compare a verse in the NRSVUE with other translations, and the app will not load any Scripture I try to search for. All I get is a blank page. I had problems with the app crashing before. Now it doesn’t crash, but it does nothing. It also takes forever for it to do anything when I try to tap something in the app. It is currently broken and unusable. Good thing I have other Bible apps on my device that are actually usable.Show lessBabyCottontail
The ad version is crashing like crazy
The app has become pretty unusable since you added ads. It crashes every time a try you navigate in the App. Tried reinstalling but no change 😕gavmc23
Update messed me up- otherwise great for me.
I have been using this app for a few years for in-depth Bible study cover to cover regarding biblical leadership and excellence in life. I have dozens of notes to that effect, but now I am struggling to access some of them, and when I make new ones they aren’t saved. I think some older notes may have been lost. Very concerned all my efforts will be for nothing- I would REALLY love a way to email or print my notes. Also, it is glitching when I click my previous notes, the app closes almost always, then opens up to Gen 1:1 making my study time very inefficient. Was I foolish to invest a ton of work into fickle technology? Otherwise it is awesome- I can study anytime I have a few minutes to wait. Hoping you can help me preserve notes and get back to good studying!!! Thanks!!!Show lessDocjim99
It’s so bad now
It used to be one of the best apps but now it’s so bad, it’s absurd. If it’s not crashing (which is literally 99% of the time), it resets to Genesis 1 🤷🏻♀️ The app is so ridiculously poor now it feels like it was purposely sabotaged. How does something so good become so bad so quickly?MommyMJ
Go back to version 59!!!
Please take this app back to version 59! Ever since version 60 came out there has been nothing but bugs. I understand that you have to make money to keep things going, so I don’t mind having the advertisements. But, everything seems to be wonky now. Some verses and even sometimes whole chapters are missing. In dark mode, chapter numbers and verse numbers are highlighted in boxes which makes them harder to see. Also, every time I open the app it reverts back to Genesis, chapter 1 instead of where I left off and that’s kind of annoying. I really used to enjoy using this app to look up scriptures on the fly, now I’m considering switching to a new app. I really do hope and pray that you fix whatever is broken soon. I’m not a fan of the fact that the rating keeps falling when it is the holy Bible and it’s even worse that I’m contributing to that rating that keeps falling! Hopefully, soon enough I can change this rating to be a five star. May God bless you and help you find and fix whatever it is that’s making the app act the way that it is. :-)Show lessMtguy257
