Reviews for Bible Gateway

The latest version of the Bible Gateway app has major issues. First of all, it takes too long to open and when it does I’m bombarded with an intrusive advertisement. Then when I click on the link “Read the Bible” there’s an opening delay of about 15 seconds or more. And when it finally opens […]

This app used to be amazing, then they put in full-screen, popup ads with audio. That was annoying, but I continued to tolerate it. Then, in the middle of service, the popup add was for some werewolf spicy romance novel with audio! I will be looking for a new, more suitable app for my bible […]

I have had this app for year, have loved using it daily. The app used to have unobtrusive banner ads at the bottom, but within the past year they have gone to full screen pop up ads, some that you can’t get rid of without closing and killing the app or ads that take you […]

I have had this app for some years now with no problems. Loved it! Today I tried to open app. Very slow to open. Then a full screen ad which didn’t want to close, when it closed another one came up. Problem to choose the book I wanted to read. Then it would not let […]

So sad that it has gone downhill As everyone is saying. Ad pop-ups every time I start the app. I am willing to pay for it to get rid of the ads but not sure how to go about it. They don’t seem to offer it. Going to my old app you version until they […]

This had been my main devotion go to app for years. Then, all the interrupting pop-up ads appear before you can get in or right in the middle of studying. THAT IS SO ANNOYING! It seems this company is now more into and concerned about marketing products, services, & the pop-up ads, then they are […]

I’ve used this app for years & pay for the plus version. I’m not sure why, but for the past 1-2 yrs. it’s been horrible. Trying to find & utilize the resources with the plus version is like looking for a needle in a haystack. I can’t log in/out or use the resources w/o the […]

I absolutely love the access to so many different versions of the Bible here. I’ve used this app for years, I love how it was before all the excessive pop-ups. I understand that you need to cover operational costs. I have deleted the App because of excessive pop-up’s while I’m reading the Bible. I don’t […]

I’ve used and loved this app for years but the recent update causes it to immediately jump to ads as soon as you open the app. That would be fine if you could skip them or even if they were short enough to get around, but any time I try to skip I am sent […]

This was my favorite Bible app for years. Unfortunately, it continues to be unreliable due to the continued interruptions during use. This has become more than just an inconvenience. I have responded to your “Feedback” request, but it has not helped. I would like to rely on Bible Gateway for my daily studies, but I […]

I’ve used this app for a long time. Sadly, this app turned to ads some time back, and I’m just getting around to writing this. I get it, I guess. I’m just not sure how the app functioned prior to the ads. I’ve opened the app in church and accidentally had my volume up, and […]

Been using the app for years. It’s always been my go to. I opened it recently and while searching for a verse found out they added pop up ads. I instantly uninstalled. I’m extremely disappointed. Reading the Bible and searching for verses should not be interrupted by intrusive pop up ads. If you want to […]

After uninstalling the app more than a year ago due to popovers and ads, I thought I’d come back and see if anything changed. Apparently not. I’ve used the online version since at least the turn of the century. There too has obnoxious popovers but once closed, they stay that way. The You Version app […]

Ads and subscription plans. I would happily pay a 1 time fee to get ad free, however I will not pay $5/month, that rate is obsurd. However, the ads are intrusive enough that it’s unbearable to use without ads. I understand that people have to get paid, but $5/month is a bit excessive just to […]

Once again updating as these are developers that listen and fix issues which is how it should be. Works great, easy to read and many choices for versions no huge complaints, just minor. First is ads, I get it and honestly they are quick so very minor complaint. Other, again, minor. You have to complete […]

Have used this app for many years. But now there are relentless pop-up ads, with no filters as to their content (like women in underwear). The developers solution offered to me was to pay the monthly subscription to avoid ads. My solution was to find an alternative app. Harper Collins tries to play this off […]

This app is great and I enjoy the additional resources with the paid sub. However, the latest version unexpectedly crashes when searching for a specific book or passage. It would be helpful to highlight in different colors and add certain passages to different folders. This is incredibly helpful when doing systematic studies for leading groups/sermons. […]

I’ve used Bible gateway since before it was an app and am so disappointed with the ads totally taking over the screen and not letting you proceed for close to a minute. I used to x out and start over, but even that doesn’t work anymore. I’ve pretty much swapped over to another app that […]

I’ve used this app for years for my Daily Bible reading plans. For the past year, they’ve started to have pop-up ads that are oftentimes very inappropriate for a Bible app. Some show scantly clad women, some occultic media, which I’ve contacted the publishers who’ve done nothing. Lately, it’s gotten so that I can’t use […]

frustrating. constantly getting an ad when I open it and I can’t shut the ad. I have to close the app and open it again. also, it was emailing my reading program to me and suddenly this week, it stopped. I’ve tried to reset it to no avail. I’ve written them about the issue. still […]
