Hello, No text shows up when a reference is entered (e.g. 2 Corinthians 1) for any translation. Very inconvenient! Can you suggest an alternative resource? Thank you!

The bible reading section does not seem to work any longer. I have closed down the app, restarted, and closed down IOS, and still no solution

All chapters aren’t appearing (eg Psalm is only listing 50 divisions in the scroll menu) Also son verses in app have typos

The Bible Gateway audio control panel disappeared yesterday. I turned my iPhone and iPad off, uninstalled and reinstalled the app, and updated the operating system on both devices. A ticket #429249 was assigned 9/23/23, but I haven’t heard anything yet.

My bible reading has stopped since the App stopped working. I get the start screen but the actual scripture won’t open - it’s blank.

The app no longer allows me to compare translations. Now, if I want to see a different translation I have to change the default translation. Also the app often crashes when I pull up a scripture and I have to go back into the app and start over again.

I have used biblegateway for years. In the last week the app has stopped working properly: 1) opens on an audio page (which I have never used); 2) will not change translations; 3) when trying to copy and paste, sentences are either garbled or various words and sentences are left out; 4) when searching for a specific verse, will sometimes begin automatically with the first verse of a chapter rather than the verse specified; 5) sometimes won’t do a word search. It is very difficult to use right now. Any suggestions?

I use this app often, have never had any problems until now. Three days ago the app worked fine, now it has glitches. Once I close the app, it loses my place where I left off reading (I’ve never had to bookmark my spot). It restarts at Genesis chapter 1 every time (I use the audio Bible) I open the app. When I change the book I’m reading and click on the chapter I want to read, I have to do it twice before I get the correct chapter. It goes to chapter one no matter which chapter I choose at the beginning. Also, the chapter numbers “flicker” and jump on occasion when I choose the one I want to listen to.

Since the new look to the website, it always opens on my iPhone on the screen for audio starting at Genesis 1. It will not go back-and-forth between translations anymore. I have deleted the app and reinstalled. No change.

When copying a scripture, after I paste the verse certain words are not copying.

Biblegateway app crashes essentially when highlighting. When highlighting is successful the text jumps to the top of the chapter. Application opens to audio screen instead of desktop upon initial opening of app.

Audio isn’t working, app does not sync with Our Daily Bread. Cannot select scriptures at all.

App crashes without warning esp if I try to highlight a verse or change chapters. Defaults to Genesis 1 every time I open it. I have seen ad banners on the app a couple times. Never used to see ads at all. A couple days ago, the app changed its layout slightly. Could the new “update/look” be the reason for these issues?

Google seems to have overtaken app. Ads constantly (which I never had before). Tho I close them I still cannot get Bible App to respond. I did the hard shut down.

The audio in Bible Gateway is not working correctly. It will not play my selected passage… It defaults back to Genesis 1. I have rebooted my phone, uninstalled and installed Bible Gateway, with no results

Kim

App keeps going back to Genesis 1 every time I open it today, and the audio won’t play.

Maria Lorenzo

I choose a book I want to read and it plays Genesis 1. It does not allow you to pick the reader either. It stops playing if you change the reader. I have restarted my phone, I have deleted & reinstalled the app. Nothing works. It also changed the size of my font to large and I can’t change it back. It’s a mess.

I upgraded today but the app is not able to “load” so it’s like I haven’t upgraded at all. Suggestions? Thanks! Norma
