“Stop the pop up ads”

Love the app, hate the pop up ads that are now on there. I would rather you charge me $5 a month to use it.

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.

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.

Verified purchase

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.

I've started reading the Bible page by page from the beginning and was relying on this bc I realized my paper Bible was the new king King James Version. I needed the KJV and not Nkjv. But upon reading everyday I keep seeing this add EVERY SINGLE DAY. IF YOU WERE OF CHRIST YOU'D KNOW THAT YOGA IS EVIL AND DEMONIC AND NOT ONLY THAT LOOK AT THE MAT SHES USING WITH THE STAR SHAPE. So today I finally said "hey what's up with these ads" and did some research AND GUESS WHAT. I WONT BE USING YOUR WEBSITE EVER AGAIN!

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.

Tip for consumers:
I will uninstall Bible Gateway.

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.

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?

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.

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?

Want to read the Bible? Go to Catholic Mass (The Lamb's Supper) where Scripture is read to you everyday with purpose and truth; and you receive The Eucharist, Jesus Christ's Real Presence on earth (for which is there is NO substitute). Also, Our Blessed Mother Mary is for everyone (not just Catholics), but it is the Catholic Church that teaches and fully participates in Marian devotion (not worship that is only reserved for Jesus Christ). Mary knows and loves Jesus Christ better than any of us ever could - she teaches us how to come to, learn about, love, and follow her son... Our Lord & Savior, Jesus Christ.

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.
