No longer using because of TPT removal

I had use BibleGateway for over a decade and it was very helpful and allowed me to look to different versions of the Bible. I like using different paraphrases and versions to see different perspectives from translation teams in people. The ESV and HCSB were my main resources, but also enjoyed the ... Show more

3 chances but still disappointing

This is my third time in 10 years to give Bible Gateway a chance to overcome multiple problems and I see the same problems if inconsistent and undependable performance. The lack of progress is disconcerting. I had my first experience only via computer and it was not good. Many bugs. I asked for sup... Show more

Bible Gateway App

It is very hard to use. I cannot find clear instructions and cannot figure out how to get it to do simple things. For instance, it is presently stuck in the book of Isaiah. I want to check out a passage in I Corinthians. I typed the Corinthians reference in the search box. It tells me there are no ... Show more

Notes Difficulties

And another comment after the last update: nothing regarding my notes below and below some more has been addressed. Please fix the issue.

It continues to crash and the copy and paste feature within BibleGateway is not like it used to be. I have so many years of notes in BibleGatew... Show more

Used to be good but never works now

I’ve tried to get support on BibleGateway and the tell me the same things every time and the solutions never fix anything. It’s not just my phone, it also is my wife’s phone. Most translations do not have all the books available and some are duplicated where you select the passage. The ones that a... Show more

Thank God for this app

I love BibleGateway I am visually impaired and it is very difficult for me to read the Bible giving that I can no longer read text I struggle with following Sunday service because I can't read the Bible when everybody else is reading it but with BibleGateway it is amazing I've been reading the Bi...

The new version has issues

I would have given the previous version 5 stars, but this latest version is not as easy to navigate. I HATE the new pop-up navigation banner in the reading pane. It used to be a stable header, but now it's just a pop-up, which doesn't work as well as the old fixed banner. When you're in the reading... Show more

Mixed feelings

Some features I really like and are quite detailed. Others seem to come up short especially compared to Olive tree which I have been using for a few years now.

Very frustrating is to try the reading plans and in selecting a chronological Bible it starts me off with today’s date so there is n... Show more

Notes needs help

Bible Gateway is one of my study staples...I’ve used it for years. However...I’ve gotten into deeper study of the Word, and have started using the Notes feature of BibleGateway . May I suggest a couple improvements that would improve its value tremendously.

First of all, the Notes icon that ... Show more

New version does not allow scrolling ahead or back on daily read

I still think this is the best app out there, it includes many features and versions like NIV, which others don't include. I like the ability to save my notes and verses that are meaningful, and the fact that I can choose many features without signing up for emails. However, I have a few suggestio... Show more

Please make one change!

One of the only drawbacks to BibleGateway is that when selecting a chapter from a book of the Bible, the "scroll" option is time-consuming and not as efficient as other apps that just have a menu with the numbers in a square. It really becomes an issue with the Bible, because it's such a large vol... Show more

Love the extra resources, wish the search was not scroll

I have always used Bible gateway when I didn't want the NIV translation I love the fact there are so many different translations available to me as I prefer the NLT or the NIVUK. I love the resources like the devotionals, reading plans and reminders all set in one place in BibleGateway that way I ... Show more

Subscription Not Working Beware

I paid for a good year of subscription services and it worked well since April however now I get the message that I must subscribe to read resources again. Customer service seems non existent. Will update when I receive a response to my emails. For now don’t waste money.

Amazing tool - Update

UPDATE - After installing the update to BibleGateway, it’s back to its old self, I can browse like before and have no issues viewing any of the versions. The developers answered me to let me know that they were coming with an update to fix any necessary bugs, which is amazing customer service. Kee... Show more

Thank you

I have downloaded and tried every other "bible app" and this is the only one that doesnt ask you for an email or other information to actually use it. THANK YOU Bible Gateway. You have tons of versions and translations that a person can easily compare side by side without having to spend 100s of do... Show more

Bible App

❤️ this. I use few apps with any regularity. This one has multiple points of value though. It allows me to save my aging eyes 😇 and employ my listening skills, instead. It is able to continue playing while I multitask, laying the phone down to do other things. I can go back over passages again &am... Show more

Finally Reading my Bible!

I’m 52 years old and I have always struggled with reading my Bible everyday. I’ve only ever had a KJV. One day I googled a verse on my phone for a note I was writing and I found Gateway. I downloaded BibleGateway and started using the reading plan and now I have no problem reading everyday and oft... Show more

Life CHANGING💗💗

I love BibleGateway so much and it has allowed me to read the Bible more often and seek the Lord. I use my headphones and use the "dramatized" version on the audio bible and follow along on the regular Bible reading and I understand it so much more. I started to use the reading plan and using the ... Show more

I really LOVE it!!!

For a long time I wished I could not only read the Bible but hear it when I don’t have time to read it and also wished I can hear it while asleep. That’s when I found BIBLE GATEWAY!!! For many years I have been able to listen to NIV Bible and ITS ALSO DRAMATIZED FOR ME so I can really understand an... Show more

BIBLE GATEWAY

One of the Best Apps I have downloaded! I wanted a way to access a Bible verse at any time whether eating lunch or if I was having a bad day. This allows you to look up a book or verse when you need to. It allows you to search whatever the Bible you use. Set it to your preference KingJames, Amplifi... Show more

Needs Improvement

Have the developers actually tried using BibleGateway and searching in various languages/translations and switching between them? It's very cumbersome and somewhat of a pain to do. There are so many steps involved, and the process is glitchy, especially with the search feature. The language/transl... Show more

My Bible App I Use Every Day

First the one gripe that I have. I do not like spinning the wheel to get to books chapters and verses. I much prefer pushing them. But I love the free Charles Spurgeon Devotional that comes free. Also have free access to the KJ21 bible. And overall it’s a pleasure to use. I wish that I could copy j... Show more

Crashing ap

Not liking new look. When listening to audio Bible I can no longer read and see where I am. Or what version I am listening to or who is reading. It is too small for me to see and not easily changeable if I want to go back and listen to a verse again. The past version was very easy large enough and ... Show more

Great! Feature Request!

This is my go-to Bible app! The interface is easy to use with many adjustable settings so the experience feels tailored to each reader. I would like to suggest a feature, though! Would it be possible to have the option to toggle on/off the numbers for the verses in each chapter?
I struggle with ... Show more

What happened to the look of the website today, Aug 5 2021? It's terrible! Too much white background, no character but also very hard to find things because it's all white. Please put it back the way it was!
