Bible Gateway 4+

This is a GREAT app But

I love this app A LOT actually but something went wrong with it recently and now I can’t use it. So I had to uninstall it 😔 I loved the fact that I could just put in the search bar just one word in a verse and it pulls up all the verses with that one word in it ANd it tells me how many verses has that word in it also. It give the whole Bible in over 25 different versions I can switch when I wanted I can have it in a diff language it also gives verse of the day and saved all my favorite verses in one area I got to highlight my favorite verses AND share them without it being sent all boggled where ppl had to download the app just to see it. SO I did really love the app BUT now it started to mess up now when I went to certain passages it would bring it up in the search but wouldn’t actually bring it up in the Bible part I couldn’t go to a certain book in the Bible anymore either. So I feel like I just lost all my data I was saving in all that I was studying in the app now! Ugh that’s SO frustrating too. But please fix maybe I’ll try it again later.

Going out on a limb here with hope this is once again 5 stars!

HOORAY! It is now July 2024, and Bible Gateway has at last restored all my notes, favorites and highlights, AND it isn’t crashing, and I can look for passages in two versions at once! Thank God. I have been praying for y’all and have missed using Bible Gateway. I can now cheerfully give it five stars again! My last two reviews are below.
Last one: You can see my previous review below this one. I have waited a few months, and have been using the website some, but I MISS this formerly wonderful app! I see there is a new version, so I am downloading it again today, and praying it is once again worthy of five stars! If it is, I will renew my “Plus” membership next year. When it’s working properly, it is my favorite online Bible. Pray with me for Bible Gateway!! Former review: I have been VERY patient with the paid version of this app, $40 a year! And for the past year, it CONSTANTLY shuts down on me, and now won’t even take me to the Bible! I used to love this app and recommended it to everyone. I’ll try using the web version for a bit, but I cancelled my subscription today. My $40 has been a complete waste this past year…I can’t even look up scriptures, much less access the study tools I’m paying for. I’ve been hopeful after each bug “fix” update, but nothing changes…if anything, it has deteriorated. I’m so sorry.

Developer Response ,

Used for years and loved….no more!!

Bible Gateway app has been my favorite over the popular You Version for years. I have been trying to bear with it for the last many months, but just deleted today because I’m wanting and needing to study and do my daily scripture writing but can’t. It opens….and this is pretty much a common regular and multiple back to back occurrence even in one sitting, over the last several months…it opens as normal with the verse of the day, then in seconds an ad pops up, which is expected because I use the free version of the app….however, once I view the ad, and I choose to close it rather than get it or purchase, the ad will close and go back to the verse of the day screen. From there I go to search for the book, chapter and verse I want to read and study, and select it, but instead of pulling it up, the app closes. Some days I have more patience to keep trying and eventually it will stop closing in the described manner, and I actually get to read in the location I selected in the app. But today…I’m done!! After it has closed on me a number of times and I’ve still not gotten to do my daily reading and journal writing of the passage that I was trying to select, my time and my patience with the app has run out. I’ve deleted and going to find another. This one needs some fixes or if that’s their means they use to get you to want to purchase the ad free version of the app….forget it! Don’t want it!!!
