Old is best
July 18, 2023

Go back to how it worked before. You sold your soul for a quick buck and lost all meaningful value. The search doesn't work due to it's inability to scroll. Adds are so distracting you loose your train of thought of what God is trying to show you. What a waste. I wish there was a zero star that's what bible gateway is worth now.

Unhappy
January 7, 2023

I've used Biblegateway for several years. After some time time I purchased plus. In late 2021 I was needing to reduce my overall expenses so I cancelled the subscription. The app worked fine until a few weeks ago maybe 2-3 months. Ads have become annoying, I have to reset font size every time, and almost daily it takes several attempts to get my daily reading plan to open. Usually it will give me an error message there is no selected reading for the day. So I purchased the plus subscription again. Won't open in the app as plus only as the free version. I have to go to the website and log in and the format is so different it's confusing. I am not happy with this website anymore.

Disapointed
September 14, 2023

Zero Customer Service. If you have a problem forget about someone responding to your request.
I started a paid subscription to bible gateway plus and couldnt log in to use it and could get no help at all to access it. They still drafted the monthly fees from my account. I never got a chance to use the service.
I have requested that my subscription be terminated I hope they will respond.

Ridiculous
July 1, 2023

I'm trying to contact Bible gateway. I joined the $19.99 yearly subscription and in order to get answers to my question I have to pay another dollar just to talk to somebody. I've never come across anything like this! This is literally ridiculous.

The focus of the BibleGateway is to seperate you from your money. From the first click to the pop up and spam, money, money,money.

No god bless you. No go out and do good deeds. No nothing but click here and what is your bank info.

Money changing takes on a new meaning. BibleGateway changes your money into... Their money.

There are many good bible study websites that are free and never mention money. Your money.

Temu ads tracking malware
February 22, 2024

Endless Temu ads with malware tracking attempts. My blocker catches, but have to delete nearly 100 from cookies and cache every time. Temu uses forced labor from persecuted Christian prisoners in Chinese concentration camps. Why is Bible Gateway sponsoring these ungodly ads?

I have used Bible Gateway for many years relying on it for daily meditation and reflection on Gods Word. While I appreciate and thank Bible Gateway for that. There are too many bugs. The new poop up adds keep going and never allow you to get back to the Bible..

Great content but poor utility for the app.It used to be good but you made updates a while back. The app now cuts out numerous times while using it. It also locks up quite often. I deleted and bought it again three times. But, the same things keep happening. Also, you scroll to find a scripture and it doesn't always go to the one you want. For example, it has a problem in the audio going for I John 4 to I John 5. It skips and starting on 2 John 1. Plus, every time you open the app the ads pop up and they are irriating. Please fix the app.

Major audio problems
April 20, 2022

I've used Bible Gateway app over 10 years. I value the audio reading of scripture, especially when driving. In the past month the audio continually malfunctions: cutting off the first verse, and stopping altogether before the end of a chapter. I've restarted my phone, uninstalled and reinstalled the app, but no resolution.

I am a user of Bible Gateway for 1 year now and all I can see that is happening with this application is that they only care about the money now. Bible Gateway is not the application I used to know. I continued my subscription and then I had an issue with the application (I couldn't start it for some reason, or when I could, a black screen popped up), I contacted their customer service and waited for 3 weeks for my issue to be resolved. 3 WEEKS! They didn't forget to take my money in a second, by the way...

As a Christian starter, I feel so inspired and closely connected to Bible the first time I used this site. It gives useful phrases or passages which inspires me spiritually. It provides different versions and I started with Kid's version Bible stories. There are also different levels of comprehension recommendation. Cool!

I've relied on Bible Gateway as an online resource for years. It's gone wrong. The amount of adverts has grown and grown. They are purely commercial. They interfere with the reading. They are immensely distracting. What a shame. The site carried a witness to the power, depth and value of scripture, and I believe the impact of this great online accessibility has been lost.

This site has helped me and so many people in so many ways I cannot even number. There used to be a time when it was much harder to find bible verses online, and BibleGateway have stepped up to the plate and offered an invaluable service. Thank you for all your hard work, and God bless your endeavors.

I have no problem with copy and paste of passages. Either there was a problem and it was corrected or the person who experienced the issue has a problem with their browser. Overall a good site, I don't like the ads but I have adapted to ignore them. At least the adds do not pop up in the middle of reading scripture.

Great tool to find specific passages in the Bible. It has links to all passages organized by Book. Very good and helpful languages with many different versions for the same or other countries. It allows to see multiple versions side by side to establish useful comparisons.

Bible Gateway let's you copy a passage from the Bible, but then scrambles the text when you paste it. I feel like that is not spreading what Jesus would want because, what, they want credit? I will not use Bible Gateway.

This is a GREAT website for researching information in the Bible. You can view several translations at once, look up words or phrases, and even view commentaries to see what some scholars think the passage means or give some history on it. There are also several languages to choose from. And, though I have not used them, there are devotionals and reading plans as well. I have a shortcut to this site and use it almost every day.

I think the next improvement would be some Greek and Hebrew translations and an interlinear Bible with links to Strongs numbers. There is a site with that, but this one is better, as far as I'm concerned, for most Bible reading. Why pay for an expensive program when it's right here for free!?

Gateway Drug
September 13, 2021

I stumbled across an ad for chumba casino. In the word it says to watch the gambling. In the word it says to love your neighbor. Is it really helpful to post verses with malign intent?
