Best Bible resource

I have enjoyed Biblegateway for the past several years. The App is always conviene for me when studying on the spot at work or last minute church service. The resources are priceless and I truly thank you guys for providing this material

Missing NRSV

Overall this is a fine app. But its missing a translation, the New Revised Standard Version, which is very common. I enjoy seeing Wycliffe and other obscure translations, but how about adding one thats fairly common? (After all, its ON the BibleGateway website so I know you already have it!)

Love it.

Favorite bible app, hands down!

Good app.

Its just missing the ability to copy a vers. Also, it would be nice to have a verse pasted on a selection of background.

Didnt like it

Could not find the Books of the Bible listed to choose what Book I wanted to read. Very frustrating app. I will continue to use the You Version Holy Bible app as it has The Books of the Bible listed in Traditional or Alphabetical order also choosing the chapters and verses are so much easier. The Gateway app cannot measure up

Thank you Bible Gateway!

Absolutely adore this app! Especially listening to Gods awesome Word! It sometimes is difficult to read His Word, the old eyes arent what they use to be, but, my ears are still holding their own! Thanks again!

Has everything i need!!!!

Leave well enough alone!!!!!

Im not a fan of newest upgrade. Its frustrating when you have to stroll to look up the scriptures when on the old version it was much easier....Its not broke do fix it.

Word of God

Love to be able to read anytime needed the words my Heavenly Father wrote for myself and my brothers and sisters in Christ Jesus. Amen

Wonderful bible app

I love this bible app. The one question I have is... after I download the offline version how do I know if Im using the offline version? Im trying not to use up all my data as I listen to the Bible daily.

Like it - However...

I like Bible Gateway very much, however I like to highlight and I am not given any option except to highlight or underline ENTIRE verse. Wish I could choose words or phrases! This would make it a 5 for me but for now just a 3. Also, it would be nice if the verses I highlight would carry over when I switch translations.

Better, but Still Needs Improvement

• When copying a verse that contains parentheses, it doesnt copy the parentheses. • Needs a "Favorites" option for Bible versions. I use this app all the time, but rarely do I ever consult more than the Hebrew and Greek versions, and several English versions. And I switch back and forth between these all the time in my studies. It would be much more convenient to use the app if I could save these Bibles to my "Favorites." PLEASE NOTE: The existing "Recently Used" feature does not work for this because these versions constantly disappear. And it is a pain having to go through the process of selecting the same Bibles over and over—and over—again. • It would be nice to have more robust search capabilities. As it is, searching with the app is very limited. • The native cut/copy feature of iOS would be a welcome addition to the app. It is a lot easier to use than having to "share" a whole verse to the clipboard. Sometimes, too, I dont want a whole verse, just a particular word or phrase.

Audio?

I love using Bible Gateway and this app!! But lately the audio feature is not functioning.

Another great Bible study tool

I need all the help I can get with the Word of God. This is just one of the tools I use to read and study Gods word. Each tool is different in some ways but His word endures forever.

Should be ad-free for subscribers!

The notes and highlights are a bit wonky in this version of the app,but you biggest issue is the fact that there are ads popping up even though I am a subscriber at BibleGateway.com.

I AM impressed so far!

Please allow future updates to have the choice available of how app users can scroll contrast/compare verse by verse and/or chapter by chapter. I like the way my version (36) displays the 3 Bibles I pick for current viewing for me. THANK YOU! (At first I agreed with Magistra414s complaint in her August 9, 2016 review but now I see the benefit aka silver lining in the way version 36 scroll displays the 3 different versions/translations that I choose to contrast/compare. Thank you, again!) You could throw in a selection of different number ranges, say for example, no more/less than 3 verse groupings, or equal to (=), less than (<), or greater than (>) as well as "and/or" statements not to mention "if/then" statements. --- I AM using an older iPad that my "Papa" and I bought for my "Mommy Dearest" around Black Friday of 2014 (correct year?) but which a young, slender, blond, female wearing an Apple store uniform setup with my Apple ID account (how many Apple IDs were setup in My Name?) and so forth. I downloaded this FREE Bible app late in December 2016 and am running iOS 10.2 on an iPad that feels about 3 or 4 years old. I have not even given any JW related app a 4 star review ANYWHERE! I gave the JW apps a 3 star review at best because I knew they were better than the LDS Mormon related apps. HUZZAH! I look forward to more pleasant surprises because I AM not finished fully exploring this wonderful FREE app. Sincerely, Mrs. Joo-Mi E-Borns

NO NRSV

No New Revised standard version .....

Ok for free...

Good for a bible to read or listen to but almost useless as a bible study program. No word select to reference; scroll to select book, chapter, verse; too slow.

Great but needs better "bookmarking"

Great but needs better "bookmarking". Bookmarking is not quite the right term, since that would be intentional by the reader. When I start reading or listening on a chapter, Bible Gateway doesnt remember where I left off, and I have to figure it out. Thats tedious and slows down my progress through the Bible. Otherwise, great app.

Not Quite There

Should show where we end the day in our reading history, NOT where we start the day. Should be able to go back to the exact spot where we leave off..not open at Gen 1:1 .. Should be able to easily go between audio and Scripture, you make it impossible to do so...must essentially back out or shut down or open on another device. Keep working on it. Ask users for their complaints...not just reviews.. Lord Bless, ET
