Leave a Review Bible Gateway
Love listening to God’s Word
I have used this app mostly for the audio Bible for many years now. It has really helped me start my day off right spending time with the Lord in His Word. Thank you.
I have not been able to figure out how to communicate with the developer. Ever since the latest update, I have been experiencing several issues. In the audio Bible function, it defaults back to Genesis 1:1 and dramatized reading selections every time, where as I used to be able to pick up where I left off each day without having to change the settings. Hopefully you have already begun working on these issues. I look forward to using the app with ease again.Show lessSP, Bondservant of Jesus Christ
What happened??
I used this app daily for years — multiple times per day. I’m grateful for any ministry that makes the Word so accessible!!! But the app keeps crashing and words fall out when I copy and paste verses. My history isn’t accurate when I need to look at a previously referenced verse. I’ve been a premium subscriber and I was set to renew at the end of the month. But I’ve cancelled my subscription until the developers get this fixed. I’ve been trying to work through these issues since the last update and see that others share my frustration… but Bible Gateway hasn’t said a word…. Hobbling through these issues is exhausting and when you have an app that’s been as awesome as this one take such a nosedive without acknowledging the problem, that’s disappointing. When the issues are ironed out, I’d love to resubscribe.Show lessOhioBride
App broken? UPDATED
Am I the only one having this issue? The app doesn’t work anymore and hasn’t worked for about four days now. I’ve been using this app every day for about four years with no problem, but when I went to open it up a few days ago, it won’t display anything. It shows the Audio page and the Dashboard, but that’s it.
Update: I am reducing my review to one star. After reading other reviews, I’ve discovered that I’m not the only one who has had issues with the app after update 63. Ironically, an update following the update that broke the app was with the main focus on “Bible Gateway Plus”. I’m not sure if this is merely coincidental, but considering that many users are complaining that the developers behind Bible Gateway do not ever respond to any of their complaints or questions even with direct contact through email or other methods, I find this turn of events to be very disappointing. If anyone has any recommendations for other reliable Bible apps, please include it in your reviews because I don’t to support the developers after how they have treated their users.Show lessWrite4u2mydear
Technical Issue
Hi, so I’m having an issue with the bible reading plan. When I go on to the daily reading plan it keeps telling me that there is no reading for today, it’s consistent and I will not allow me to continue, I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling but to no avail which is a shame as this is a great app. Also not sure if you are aware but I use to copy and paste scriptures to Facebook through gateway bible on a browser, I can no longer do this as Facebook has marked you as offensive 😳Show lessJesusLiver2017
Problems with new update
Had been using this app with no issues for many years, but since the new update, it often doesn’t even open properly, just gives me a white screen. When it does open (after uninstalling and re installing) it’s clunky, hard to navigate, freezes, doesn’t save the last reading place. Really gone down hill. Unfortunately I will be looking for another Bible app to use unless these issues get fixed quickly.Show lessJulianaL75
Suddenly glitchy
I was using BibleGateway for a couple years, and enjoyed it thoroughly for its daily Bible reading and reminders. then sometime in the last month, not sure if it was due to iPhone iOS update or the app itself, but when getting the daily reminder, I would click on it, and the font was small, and it needed to be reset in order to continue with the reading. Prior, you would just click on the reminder, and click on reading plan, and you were on your way. so, I tried deleting the app, re-adding it, and the app was asking for payment information, even though it should’ve been free. It attempted to bill me about $97, and I don’t know if it’s just my phone, or a glitch in the system. It’s just not running like it used to! I hope it can be fixed, cause there’s no other Bible reading app that’s quite as user-friendly that I’ve found.Show less,&/8&8/'z
What Happened?
I have use this app for years and my favorite is the NIV dramatized. When Jesus speaks it’s like he is speaking to me. I listen to it every day as I go for my morning walk. However in the last two weeks when I go to where I left off I find it has gone all the way back to Genesis 1. Now if I don’t write down where I left off I don’t know where to start again cause it keeps going back to Genesis. How do I correct that? Also when I changed to Psalms it wouldn’t go any higher than 50. I discovered if that I went to Psalm 50 and click the forward arrow then it would start going higher than 50. It never did that before. I was I was able to go to whatever song I wanted over Palms 50. Why is this happening? How can I fix it?Show lessJennyBretana
Update to 63 broke other things
Hey that’s great that you updated your app about five days ago to version 63 to fix the audio player. But it broke a lot of other things. When I tap on the Bible button, it’s blank in the section you are supposed to see the book’s name. Just a little arrow is there, and it does nothing. I can’t choose a book of the Bible.
Also, the font is too big and overrides on other font areas, making it hard to read. I tried to change the font size within the app, and it didn’t change anything. I also tried to change the font size on my phone, and it also did not affect it. It just remains too large and runs off the screen. There are other problems, but I’m sure if you guys look into it you’ll find them. I have an iPhone SE.
I have used your app for many years, and it is my go to Bible App. I hope you can fix this problem, because it is not useable to read the Bible at this point. 😢Show lessJ@nette
Great app that broke on the recent update
Used this app for my daily Bible reading. Over several years has been amazing. I should’ve given it a rating earlier which would’ve been five stars. Unfortunately in this review I have to downgrade considerably only because a recent upgrade changed the UX and broke the ability to use audio with reading along.
To be precise, I use NIV with Max McLean narrating. When I open the app and open the Bible, it used to open on the page in the audio where I left off before. Now it defaults to dramatized audio and randomly the first chapter of whatever book I was in. Then when I click on Max McLean it doesn’t load or freezes. On reboot, it resets to dramatized again.
It is a very random error, and I get different results every time I open the app. It rarely works now for the way I used it for in the past.

Love it, BUT update messed it up
I have been using the app for several years and love the functionality it has. I love the ability to highlight and star text, conduct a word or phrases search and view the text in several different versions. However, just a few days ago, after I got the alert to allow ads (I get it…), it started to crash when trying to highlight, not highlight at all (selected the highlight button but nothing happened) and the font sizes are all messed up! Help!!! I’ve loved Bible Gateway since the early 2000’s on my computer and more recently on my phone and iPad. Please fix it so it works again! I’d really appreciate it:-)Show lessSpiceset
