Too many ads

The app content is great but the functionality is frustrating. It's difficult to close ads or they take too long. It feels manipulative.

Unusable—cluttered with ads

This app used to be halfway decent, but it is now so cluttered with ads that it’s completely unusable.

The last straw for me is that somehow the default translation when I try to look anything up is in Italian. I didn’t select that. I’m sure I could change it back but why bother. Anything would be better than this.

Unable to scroll past first few verses when using Resources

I have Bible Gateway Plus on my PC and love having access to various Bible translations, Commentaries and Dictionaries. So, it was a no-brainer to add the app to my iPhone 17. However, when I try to use the Study Bible resources (in particular NRSV Cultural Backgrounds and NKJV Chronological Study) on my iPhone, I am unable to scroll past the first few verses to get deeper into the chapter. Very frustrating. I wonder if anyone else has this problem.

App is broken, doesn’t go to search result when clicked

It literally chooses somewhere else and drops you off when selecting a verse from search. The only thing this app had going for it was its robust searching options at one point. Now it can’t even do that, but it CAN give you ads and personal data tracking for your troubles.
Find somewhere else.

Search is useless now

I used to use the search feature on the app for keywords and now it doesn’t even work properly anymore it pulls up the verses but then when you select the verse it either takes you to a completely different part of the Bible or back to the Home Screen like it crashes out of search. A huge disappointment
