## Featured reviews

- **4★ · Every morning for years, now uninstalling · September 7, 2024** — First, I’m a programmer, and certainly realize a company needs a revenue stream. For several years, I started my day with the scripture of the day on the first screen. The latest update gets me invested in the first 4-5 words, then covers the screen in an ad which must be endured for an indeterminate amount of time. - Having a clear “Ad Free” buyout would be a good option, as the banner in the middle (which is actual an upgrade to paid) is not obvious. - Basically, a “Could you pay $30-40 one time to help us keep the lights on?” I would do today. But I don’t use the app enough to warrant another subscription, and the reviews for the paid version aren’t great. - I realize Christian folks (in US anyway) can be cheap and demanding. I make effort not to be either. That said, at 4:30am, a scripture is a good way to start the day. A Jack-in-the-box pop up ad I must endure to get to that scripture? I’ll turn on a light a read my Bible, or use a different app. Thank you much, for all the years. If I find you have a perpetual license option then great, if not, this will be deleted.
- **5★ · Going out on a limb here with hope this is once again 5 stars! · July 25, 2024** — 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.
- **1★ · Used for years and loved….no more!! · January 24, 2023** — 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!!!
