Great APP with a Variety of Translations
I’ve been using Bible Gateway for several years now. The APP had some early quirks, but upgrades have made it very reliable. Having a 45 minute commute to work, I started filling the time by listening to the Bible on audio. It has changed my life. I’ve been through the Bible on audio more than two dozen times in the last two years. I’ve listened to about 10 different translations. I’ve become a big fan of the NASB. Any chance we can add the Amplified Classic version? Asking for a friend.

I love this app
I am using the side by side with English and Spanish translations to help me learn more Spanish. You can download certain translations to use when no internet is available. We are about to take a month long trip through Central America on our motorcycle and now I can have several different translations at my fingertips without carrying the extra weight of having several Bibles. The app is easy to use, I am so excited about this.

Other versions? Not available??
For years, I used the app on my tablet for fast look-ups. Comparing what is said in different versions. But I cannot even find any other versions. It’s stuck in NJKV, my preference, but where’s the rest of the versions?
Web based is better
Love the app. I have a subscription. But I cannot see my highlights, nor make new highlights, that I made on my pc acct. can that be added to app? Thanks.
App doesn’t appear on my iPhone and I don’t know why this reduces greatly use of the app. Why?
I am not happy that I cannot download the app onto my iPhone.
Major step backwards
While the website is still usable, this app is not designed for serious study, the the app support is a joke. Resources used to be paired with verses, now even for legacy Bible Gateway Plus members the resources don’t show. Emails to support are responded to, but it is as though they do not understand the issues. My last support request was responded to with a how-to list of how to navigate the app, yet the problem is that the app is not responding. The only thing that seems to work is nagware to join Bible Gateway Plus with a 7 day trial - despite being a Bible Gateway Plus member that is logged in ( and my payment receipts show clear back to 2018 in the app so it must know who I am.) This is no longer the valuable study tool it once was.

Plus is buggy
Unable to get plus version to work. Set up the free trial, confirmation from Apple Store, but app continually locks up and gives pop ups to try the plus version. Disappointing.
Invasive adds
I used to like the apps, but the amount of time waiting while trying to open the app is annoying compare to other free apps. I have to open another bible app to read for the same time wait.
Poor functioning
Under resources you can not scroll up and view all. This app has always been buggy which is too bad because it offers a lot of great content
Thanks
I can now click daily scripture and go to bible and read! Yeah!
Web subscription apparently doesn’t matter
I’ve had a subscription to Bible Gateway since 2018, but the app no longer recognizes it and wants an additional monthly fee to let me use the resources. My ipad with the older app doesn’t do that. Tech support is answering questions I did not ask and avoiding the issue altogether. Can no longer recommend this once-excellent resource anymore.

Bible Gateway:
I’m totally blind and not able to select a different Bible versions I’d like to use. It’s not user friendly. Can you please fix this? And is there where you can hide the verses if you wanted to? Thanks!
Ads impede use
This used to be a good app. But over the past years, so the ads have become so pervasive that it’s almost impossible to use. At least 50% of the time you click on anything to try to get a passage, you get a very long ad. So it’s virtually unusable. If the mission is to get the word of God out, something needs to change. It’s truly unusable as is. I will be looking for another app.

Updown grade?
I used to love this app! It WAS brilliant. Now though it seems to drift you off or lead you into making the ‘creator’ of the app money! “7 day trial”!
Bible’s are not about making money from! 🥺 I’m so disappointed by this. “The love of money is not the root of an income 😔

What have you done to this app?
This used to be the best Bible app anywhere. So many translations available. Easy to use. But I just spent 5 minutes trying to get the app to show me the book of James. It won’t do it. It will show me ads. It will not show me the Bible.
Complete garbage app
I’ve had this app for years, and it never used to have ads but now I can’t even get past the ads to actually read the Bible. Just deleted this one and downloaded a free ad-free Bible app.
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.
