I am an AVID Biblegateway user. No more. I will use another study app and website. The recent website redesign is an adtastrophe! The massive ad banners at both the top and bottom of the mobile screen take up the majority of the viewing area. This aggressive ad placement completely crowds out the scripture text, making it nearly impossible to read or navigate. Furthermore, they have made basic support inaccessible by hiding or removing any clear "Contact Us" link from the main interface. As a long-time user, I find this new layout worthless. I will be taking my daily reading and study to alternative platforms unless the interface is restored to its original state. The corporate greed exibited by the current ads taking up the screen isn't something I can support.

I used to Love BibleGateway and I am sad to say I will no longer be using the app or the website. They added intrusive software to the app via web browser and the phone app. They say you can opt out of all 99 cookies and apps and when I tried to do that. It said several times 13 of those 3rd party refused a response or declined my opt out. All the information collected is too privacy invasive. Geolocation, what city and state you live in, your street address, what browser you're using your IP address. What sites you go to, what social media sites you use or go to, including your contacts and friends list. This invasion of privacy, opting out does not work. User beware. I will never use Biblegateway again until they wisen up.

Very sadly lost their way. Adverts are inappropriate - it’s the Bible.

I've used Bible gateway forby ars but recently they changed the format to make it harder on audio to go from one book to another. I'm in Mark right now but tomorrow if I want to start at Mark 9 I have to go to mark 1 and arrow through. Before the horrible change I could just go straight to a chapter. Another example of change for the worse.

I've had a paid subscription with bible gateway for well over a year now and I've loved all their resources. I was horrified after their latest update to find that they're using ai overviews for the bible. Ai is not and cannot be spirit filled or led and the fact that they're okay with letting ai speak to faith is horrifying to me. I canceled my subscription immediately

I use bible gateway frequently but the ads have become ridiculous and distracting. When I hit the x to close them it often opens them instead. When I do successfully close an ad, it often pops back up in under a minute. I understand that websites take money to run, but this is too much. There are secular websites that are run much better and are not bombarding people with ads and they also have costs to keep the site running, but many other sites do a better job of running their websites. I hate to give a Bible website a poor review. But you go to the Bible to learn, study, and hear from God. These ads distract you from all 3. If you are trusting God to provide for you, as any bible based site should be, then I can't imagine He would provide for you by distracting people from His word. I hope whoever is running this site seeks God regarding their finances, because no one should feel harassed and distracted while reading the Bible.

We use Bible Gateway (website) all the time, especially when we're in a pinch and need to look something up or compare translations. However, the ADS are RIDICULOUS!!! I have a screenshot from a "28 YEARS LATER: BONE TEMPLE" ad that has some demon-looking-thing yelling right on the front! Definitely not letting the kids know about Bible Gateway! I've stopped visiting as much because the ads are so frequent. The product is great... however, I have to give this platform a 1 STAR... gg's BG!

Useful to look up verses and many free options. It even has audio for free. I find that useful as I can listen in the car. Of course, many advertisers, but that's somewhat normal. Although, Zondervan and Harper Collins are huge brands so I'm not sure why the need to monetise this so much. But, take the best of it.
