Bible Gateway:I hate that you don’t have a way we can look up books or chapters and better to go to where we want to go. It’s inaccessible. I’m totally blind. I can’t use this app. I really hate this! Can you please fix this! Thanks!

Practically UnusableUse to be a great app. With the ads now, this app is practically unusable.

BadHorrible app literally has ads when you open it. Bad greedy devs

Recent five-star reviews

Great App!Bible Gateway has everything you need to read God’s word. It’s a great app!

Great for quick referenceThis is my go to when I want specific passages and verses that a small concordance in the back of my Bible can’t offer

Gone down hillThere all of a sudden glitches and so many ads I can’t figure out how to navigate away from. Bye bye.
