Bible Gateway:

I hate that you don’t have a way we can look up books or chapters and better to go to where we want to go. It’s inaccessible. I’m totally blind. I can’t use this app. I really hate this! Can you please fix this! Thanks!

So Frustrating!

I can’t get into the app because of gatekeeper game ads! There is usually no X to click so I can move on. I like to listen to scriptures as I go to sleep, but I try multiple times to enter and usually just give up. Why is there such a block to be able to get to scriptures?

Practically Unusable

Use to be a great app. With the ads now, this app is practically unusable.

Login

Can’t login on the app but no troubles on the web browser. It’d be nice to sync my plans to the app.
