Bible Gateway for Positive User Reviews
✓ Life CHANGING💗💗I love this app 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 audio to complete it and it's great because you can get reminders everyday reminding you to read. I plan on writing about what I know from the scriptures in my prayer journal. The only thing is that the reading plans don't have an option where you read Genesis to Revelation which I would prefer but the app is still amazing and I love it and I encourage you to get it to get you closer to Christ with scripture :) ps I highly recommend the NIV version of the Bible because other ones like the KJV are hard to understand in my opinion and the NIV is really easy to read and understand for a 12 year old like me..Version: 36
✓ Don’t leave negative feedbackI don’t usually leave negative feedback for anybody because all intend well. But, some times folks take it for granted that their products are flawless. I truly enjoy this app most of the times however it crashes too often so bad that you would wanna hit your head against the wall. Please update..Version: 59
✓ Easy to use and listen to.I have to complement the reader, a most beautiful reader whom I recognised from our book club book The Goldfinch. This gentleman is very very easy to listen to and He won't put you to sleep as his voice is engaging and captivating to its subject matter. It's how I would imagine Jesus tone (without the educated New York accent). The reader makes the book interesting in my opinion, so enjoy this Great book because I can't wait to get to my daily devotions as I read and listen (no distractions). I haven't used All the app features, but I bet it's worth 5 stars..Version: 36
✓ App quit workingApp has been great but lately getting glitchy since ads were introduced. I don’t see any ads in the real Bible. Hmmm..Version: 68
✓ Finally an easy to use bible appLove it! Have been using the website for years and it is so great to have it on my iPad and is so simple to navigate Thank you!.Version: 1.3
✓ 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 the app and started using the reading plan and now I have no problem reading everyday and often several times a day. It was hard to carry my Bible with me, so I never did. Now, I can just open my phone anywhere. My hairdresser asked me one day what I was always reading while my hair dye was processing and it opened up a conversation to be able to witness. All the ladies in our church prayer group use it now and we all use the NIV chronological reading plan and our conversations are now always on the Bible as we discuss our daily reading. I am also able to use a commentary for the first time in my life and it has opened up depths of God’s Word for me. Thank you Gateway! Carolyn M..Version: 42
✓ Thank youI 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 dollars on physical bibles! Your interface is next to none. EASY to figure out the symbols and menus. EASY to switch between bible translations. I love the fact that you have a grey background with white letters when selecting night mode. Every other app has black on white, which is just too much contrast for me. I appreciate the fact that you made a very easy to use, non intrusive app..Version: 36
✓ Update to 63 broke other thingsHey that’s great that you updated your app about five days ago to version 63 to fix the audio player. But it broke a lot of other things. When I tap on the Bible button, it’s blank in the section you are supposed to see the book’s name. Just a little arrow is there, and it does nothing. I can’t choose a book of the Bible. Also, the font is too big and overrides on other font areas, making it hard to read. I tried to change the font size within the app, and it didn’t change anything. I also tried to change the font size on my phone, and it also did not affect it. It just remains too large and runs off the screen. There are other problems, but I’m sure if you guys look into it you’ll find them. I have an iPhone SE. I have used your app for many years, and it is my go to Bible App. I hope you can fix this problem, because it is not useable to read the Bible at this point. 😢.Version: 63
✓ Very useful bible study toolsIt will definitely be my daily bible study reference/tools!!.Version: 1.3
✓ GatewayThis is an awesome app and it's so useful. But I was just wondering if you could possibly get started (if you haven't already) on a NIV and/or NLT downloadable version of the bible. Overall it's an awesome app an keep up the great work..Version: 1.4.1
✓ Great app. However...Amazing resource but please give us the option to pay a small one time payment to remove ads..Version: 44
✓ Best Bible App !!!I love this app, as I learn how to navigate it I realise how powerful this app is and will be an incredible blessing to anyone who seeks truth about our wonderful God. I thank the creators of this app from my heart, this app was a free download but it’s worth is beyond anything I can afford Blessings to those involved in this app Mark..Version: 44
✓ Gateway gets me thereEasy to use. Great features in iOS. Other great features in OSX. Huge range of resources. Indispensable just about. Thank you!.Version: 42
✓ Must delete and reinstall after updateUpdate: It seems that the most recent update caused an issue with the cache or something. The only way to clear the cache on iOS for an app is to delete it, and then reinstall. I have had to do this on another app that I use, too. Anyway, deleting and reinstalling solved my problem with having blank pages when trying to read the Bible. This has never been my main Bible app, but this resolved my issues. Earlier review: I had used this app occasionally when looking up different translations. I have other Bible apps that I use more, but I still use this one sometimes. This is the only app with the NRSVUE on it that I have. I wanted to compare a verse in the NRSVUE with other translations, and the app will not load any Scripture I try to search for. All I get is a blank page. I had problems with the app crashing before. Now it doesn’t crash, but it does nothing. It also takes forever for it to do anything when I try to tap something in the app. It is currently broken and unusable. Good thing I have other Bible apps on my device that are actually usable..Version: 67
✓ LoveLove this app. Have been using it for years. Only issue is… it keeps crashing. Would love it if the developers could sort this one..Version: 68
✓ Great appThe best app I have. Learn about father god Jesus our brother and Holy Spirit. Amen..Version: 36
✓ Liberty of The GospelWhat gift this app is, where other apps profit from the Good News this app stores riches in heaven..Version: 1.1
✓ ReviewVery useful! Would be even better if it were available off-line.Version: 36
✓ Great AppGreat app with the ability to listen and read the bible..Version: 2.0
✓ Very convenientWe often hear people say that we should always carry our Bible with us. We also often use impracticality as an excuse not to. With this app, no more excuses ... no mater what version you prefer..Version: 1.5
✓ Fantastic!Great App. Thanks Gateway..Version: 1.3
✓ This app is sinking itselfI had been extremely happy with this app for years, UNTIL August 2022. Used the ‘contact us’ link in the app to let them know the issues I was having. It was addressed and seemingly fixed, but not for long. Experiencing several problems now, especially using the search feature, which was one of my favorite ways to use the app. Looking at recent reviews, I see other are having many issues as well. Change everything back to how it was and you’ll start seeing better reviews. You took a great app and ruined it. Must have sold out to liberal agenda who don’t want God recognized. Wrong move..Version: 68
✓ HiThis app is cool. Very epico. Download now..Version: 59
✓ Excellent AppEasy to use, a wide range of translations, intuitive to get round. Highly recommended..Version: 1.7
✓ ReferenceAwesome.Version: 59
✓ Finally started using the app -FantasticHi, really impressed. Got a great range of version, languages. It also includes audio readers. It also allows you to see two bibles or two languages simultaneously. Still to discover more. Great work team. Ps. It would be great if we could scroll the background text, whilst the audio reader is on so we can follow all the way. Many thanks, Andrew.Version: 45
✓ Love the extra resources, wish the search was not scrollI 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 the app that way I don't have to set an alarm in my calendar or I have separate notes on my phone and it's all there in the Bible app. I absolutely love how I can search for a verse by knowing the key words and it pops up in the search. I only wish when I search directly for a chapter and verse that I could input the numbers instead of scrolling because it is time consuming. Granted sometimes it's good to know the context of the verse especially in the Old testament but not always necessary in the New Testament..Version: 39
✓ Excellent app!This excellent app makes bible study easy, with many versions, and access to a wide range of study resources. It is also accessible with VoiceOver..Version: 36
✓ Love itI love being able to sync my account to multiple devices but sometimes when I load up one of my favourited verses it doesn't show the star or highlight. Also, the highlighted verses can't be searched on the app. You can only see everything that you have highlighted on the website version..Version: 36
✓ Crappy Ads at the bottom of the screen for gamblingGreat app. Pity about the ads pushing gambling at the bottom..Version: 59
✓ Loading issuesGoing into the Bible option then closes the app and needs to be reloaded up again 😒 I love this app and wish it could be fixed and ads cut out altogether ⭐️.Version: 68
✓ Great appVery a great app but if it had a search page or an easy way to find verses or topics. Now every time I open is crashing.Version: 70
✓ Best Bible app yetThank you Bible gateway for thinking of this app. I had been wondering when it would happen so thank you for answering my prayers. It gives me quick access to word search while staying in the app read it and make notes as well. God bless... Jesse.Version: 1.0
✓ Technical IssueHi, so I’m having an issue with the bible reading plan. When I go on to the daily reading plan it keeps telling me that there is no reading for today, it’s consistent and I will not allow me to continue, I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling but to no avail which is a shame as this is a great app. Also not sure if you are aware but I use to copy and paste scriptures to Facebook through gateway bible on a browser, I can no longer do this as Facebook has marked you as offensive 😳.Version: 65
✓ Best bible app ever😜😍😜😍😝🤟🏼✌🏼This is a great bible app for kids if they get bored at church 💒 and I don’t mean the kids reading the bible 📖 I mean that them doing that note 📝 thing and copying the bible📖 for their notes so that’s why I love this app!😍😍😍😍🥰😍🥰😍🥰😍🥰🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩😁😆😄😊☺️😉😌.Version: 43
✓ Essential app for everyoneOne of the best ways to engage in God’s word in this digital age. This is your sword & shield to fight your adversary the devil. You will benefit from God’s word on your phone or tablet, & if you are feeling lazy the app will read to you. Like all good things in life everything on the app is totally free. The only thing that needs to be improved is the option for night time mode & easier copy/paste options, but I hope the developers read this, look into it & eventually improve it. But I personally recommend this app!.Version: 47
✓ Meets Basic Needs; Sleep Mode Function NeededI have been using this app for years. I love that you can easily switch between translations whether reading or listening. The app is simple and easy to navigate. The only thing stopping me from rating it five stars is the lack of a sleep mode function for the audiobook portion. I wish there was a way to set a specific amount of chapters or minutes you want the audio to go before it stops automatically. This is really important to me because when I need calm, I like Scripture to be the last thing I hear before falling asleep without it later waking me up in the middle of the night because it just goes on and on. Please add this feature. Thank you!.Version: 60
✓ Preferred previous appVery disappointing not to be able to pinch screen to a larger font. I am visually impaired so will seriously miss this feature. The audio feature while good, does not make up for this. I am disappointed. Why change something when it's not broken?.Version: 28
✓ BIBLE GATEWAYI have used this App every since I can remember (years). It’s gotten worse over time. Although I love this App-it crashes often making reading & looking up thing’s almost impossible at times ! I love the daily “Dashboard”, the ability to highlight & star important verses. I love we can read the version of the Bible we are most comfortable reading or even compare one version to another. I just wish it wouldn’t crash repeatedly & frequently! Sometimes it becomes so frustrating I just have to close the App. I have this on 3 of my devices & it crashes on all 3 devices. I don’t have this problem with any other App. Your daily reads -should you get to read them—often crash 4-6 times before allowing you to read it..Version: 68
✓ VictorWow! I praise God for the wisdom He blessed some generous people with!! Highly recommended and a must-have App!.Version: 1.2
✓ AwesomeJust as Gods word, this is a great app that has all the settings needed and has all different versions e.g NIV.Version: 36
✓ Great Content, Buggy Audio BibleThis is one of the first apps I ever downloaded and I have recommended it to many people, including foreign-language speakers. I use the audio Bible often and am grateful they have NIVUK with David Suchet. I prefer the NKJV, but Simon Bubb is so monotonous he sounds like AI. This has nothing to do with Bible Gateway, but I wish NKJV had picked another British reader. Around mid-2022 I noticed some bugs in the audio Bible. It would sometimes skip chapters or restart a book instead of continuing to the next book. And weirdest of all, it had a chapter called 1 Thessalonians 9!!! I contacted BG and they fixed the bugs. But it’s January 2023 and the bugs are back. I was listening to Ephesians and it went straight from chapter 5 to Philippians 1. (I am using the latest version iPhone.) I don’t know if this is happening with every version or only with NIVUK, but I request BG to have this big fixed..Version: 68
✓ Verse of the dayVerse of the day on the dashboard is missing some spaces and punctuation etc..Version: 59
✓ The very best and most useful Bible app availableI am totally enthused about this Bible app. I have many only iPad but this leaves the rest well behind. It is the only one I use now..Version: 1.4.1
✓ EATING THE WORDWow I have read the Bible more than once. Some books more than twenty times! I tried several times before to no avail. I can read THE WORD anywhere, never been bored again. The Audio is my company on my hourly walks. So excited understanding the Word. Now I can easily connect events from both The Old and New Testaments! The WORD IS ALIVE! I tell my children we should read The Bible like we would a book, ready to answer questions from any passage otherwise we cannot pass the exam!.Version: 36
✓ The Notes FunctionSome feedback: Notes function is good however when the key pad comes up you cannot get to the bottom part of your notes. Hopefully you can fix this..Version: 44
✓ 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 & again for better understanding, it allows several options for speaking tones, incorporates mellow background music, and soothing delivery. I can go into my phone to other areas while it continues, and switch off for visual text, instead. Just to name a few of it’s attributes. I can’t do better then 5 stars here, but I truly would if I could. It’s that worthy to me. 🙏🏽⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🙏🏽⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🙏🏽.Version: 43
✓ Thank you for so many translations!I love this app for it's many translations, that you can listen to the Bible being read and the reading plans. Thank you for making this all freely available!.Version: 40
✓ GreatPretty good, but you can’t copy or select.Version: 59
✓ 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 and imagine what it was like living through the times! Every aspect of life and it’s challenges I face are all there to read/ listen to the stories of regular people who went through similar situations many times even worse situations but God brought them all out of it. I really love to listen to it as I sleep and when I wake up many of it is actually programmed into my brain , I can’t imagine not being able to hear it while I sleep it brings me peace. I really recommend this app for everyone especially to those who can’t read for whatever reason..Version: 59
✓ Great AppPolished, well designed and full functioning - this is a very helpful utility..Version: 25.1
✓ Great stuff BGMany thanks - its just what I was needing..Version: 1.5
✓ AmenMay god bless you, matt6:9-11 we will remember the four seals.Version: 1.1
✓ Please fix bugsWe truly appreciate this app. Please fix the bugs that have the app shut down for certain books when they are opened..Version: 68
✓ Notes needs helpBible 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 the app. May I suggest a couple improvements that would improve its value tremendously. First of all, the Notes icon that appears at the beginning of a verse when a Note is made should pop-up a window with that particular Note. As it is, it takes you away from your place in the Scripture to a listing of the Notes made that you must scroll through to find the particular Note you want. Then you must navigate back to the Scripture you were reading. Awkward and time consuming. Second, there is a way to print each Note separately; however, there should be a way to print a list and/or range of Notes so they can be kept hard copy with other study materials. Third, currently there is only one color available for highlighting. It would be very helpful to have a number of colors so as to designate different Bible studies. Fourth, have a Notes icon at the beginning of the verse for each Note made regarding that particular verse. In this way you would be able to see all the Notes made for a verse at different times. Thank you. Hope you will see the benefit of each of these suggestions and work them into the next update..Version: 42
✓ BEST APP EVERI love Jesus Christ and this app tells every story in the bible. So much faster then looking it up in the book..Version: 59
✓ The Beginners BibleI was wanting to purchase some more stories but there was no information as to what you would get in the smaller pack. Please let me know.Version: 39
✓ HelpfulGood range of bibles, but would have liked NRSV & Good News bibles also. Useful set of features, especially the ability to look at two bibles side by side. You have to be online to use. No ability to download a bible.Version: 36
✓ Te WaruReally pleased and blessed to have such a informative collection of bibles. Truly love it..Version: 1.9.1
✓ You need thisRead, listen, study and know your Lord. Awesome app..Version: 36
✓ Amazing tool - UpdateUPDATE - After installing the update to this app, 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. Keep up the great job. I’ve been using this app for a few years now. I love that I can have different versions of the Word at the palm of my hands; however, with the new iOS update its not working properly 😢 I use the NLT version in both English and Spanish, and also the ERV version for our youth group meetings. Every time I open the NLT, in particular, there are these bars on the sides and it struggles to scroll. I’ve tried uninstalling and installing back again, didn’t work. I’ve tried downloading the version and it didn’t work either. I hope there’s a fix for these issues soon. I truly enjoy using this amazing tool of the Word, it has helped me to have a better understanding of the word of God. Three stars for now, but truly a 5 star app if it didn’t have all these issues..Version: 45
✓ Very blessed...Have enjoyed using this app, easy to use translations good and other references too. Be nice to add the NRSV translation. Thank you..Version: 1.8
✓ Chur!Ggggreeeaattt!.Version: 1.5
✓ FantasticGreat easy to undertand wish there was an offline version..Version: 25.1
✓ A great bible app!A good deal of resources available through the app.Version: 36
✓ Ads Too IntrusiveThis is a great app but unfortunately the advertisements have become more intrusive and deceptively difficult to close. Recently some ads have become almost impossible to navigate away from and this has made me think twice about the value of this app..Version: 70
✓ Great resourceI love this app. Only negative is that I'd like more versions that I can access off line..Version: 33
✓ One bug I noticedSometimes when you want to select a book of the bible, it randomly shows multiple list of the same book. So you can have Genesis showing up like 20 times before scrolling to Exodus and then the same thing happens with Exodus and so on and so forth. I love this app but I've been noticing it a lot ever since I switched to an iPhone. God bless y'all. Thanks!.Version: 59
✓ Very useful appI'm finding this app great for my personal Bible Study. I have my reading plan, am sent a reminder every morning, and use the commentaries for added information. But what I miss is not being able to highlight text for future recognition. Also a copy and paste function would enable text to be added to the notes which I am also using as a journal..Version: 40
✓ Please make one change!One of the only drawbacks to this app 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 volume with so many chapters and so many versus within many of the chapters (Try looking up Psalm 119:105...) It makes me want to go to my other apps to look up a verse. Otherwise I love all the depth of versions available, listening options, books available, etc Everything else is great, but the one thing I want use this app for often is to look for a particular verse, so I experience the scrolling issue almost daily. Seems to me that this would be an easy change and make a Scripture search much less time consuming. Thanks for listening!.Version: 36
✓ Get itUseful and awesome!!!.Version: 25.1
✓ Love it, BUT update messed it upI have been using the app for several years and love the functionality it has. I love the ability to highlight and star text, conduct a word or phrases search and view the text in several different versions. However, just a few days ago, after I got the alert to allow ads (I get it…), it started to crash when trying to highlight, not highlight at all (selected the highlight button but nothing happened) and the font sizes are all messed up! Help!!! I’ve loved Bible Gateway since the early 2000’s on my computer and more recently on my phone and iPad. Please fix it so it works again! I’d really appreciate it:-).Version: 63
✓ Almost there...Like the idea of an app, but I cannot search by reference (example, searching for Psalms 1:1 yields no results. This works on the web version). Am I missing something?.Version: 1.9.1
✓ Fantastic!Best bible app I've used so far..Version: 1.5
✓ Moving from youversionThe youversion bible is trash now. Over time it has become more bloated and slower until now, when my downloaded versions are no longer readable offline. Bible gateway I’m discovering has neat features like loading the next/previous chapter when you scroll to the end/start..Version: 59
