I used to love this app, but now I am uninstalling it. It used to be easy to search for a particular scripture. When they started using ads, I understood that they need to make revenue so, although it was irritating, I didn't complain. But now they've changed the entire site so that it apparently has an awful AI running it. Last Sunday, during church, I opened it to search the passage the preacher was reading, and instead of giving me the verse I searched, it offered similar verses I might be interested in. HOW DO I JUST GET THE VERSE I WANT?! Why did you change it?! It's not simply the Bible any more, nor is it easy to use. I will delete Bible Gateway and just use my old cassette version to listen. Thank you for making that decision for me.

I am a subscriber of BibleGateway and have been for a number of years. For some reason, I can no longer sign on. I sent at least two emails to the support email for help and assistance and the response I received is "change your password." Well, I had already done that. I even tried to sign up as a new customer and a message comes back to say "this email already exits." The monthly subscription payment is still being charged on my credit card but I have no access to BibleGateway. There is no phone number to call and speak to customer service. As of today, December 18, 2025, I have not received communication from anyone. This has been going on since the second week of December 2025. I use BibleGateway for my courses and Bible Studies. Now, I have to use other (limited) resources. I want to continue with BibleGateway or be refunded. No one is contacting me. Also, if you Google problems with BibleGateway, you will find this issue is not their first time.

Horrific distracting ads that blink, flash, move across the screen, bounce and cause me to get so angry while trying to read God's word. I will not be using this savage site anymore. It's is absolutely insane to put all of those ads, many that are stick ads moving and stalking users as we try to navigate the biblical texts or scroll the page.

I have found extremely important misquoted scripture on BibleGateway when comparing to the NIV Bible I have had since 1998. On BibleGateway in Luke 22:70 (NIV) it states: They all asked, “Are you then the Son of God?” He replied, “You say that I am.” When it REALLY says: They all asked, "Are you then the Son of God?" He replied, "You are right in saying that I am" This is the main basis of arguments for Muslims that Jesus never claims to be the Son of God which is clearly not accurate. Someone needs to pull out a real text Bible to correct this information. I found ANOTHER misquote today, studying Shamgar in Judges 5:8... BibleGateway says: God chose new leaders when war came to the city gates, but not a shield or spear was seen among forty thousand in Israel. But the ACTUAL NIV Bible says: When they chose new gods, war came to the city gates, and not a shield or spear was seen among forty thousand in Israel This may seem like not a big deal but the Israelites serving other gods in the days of Shamgar is supported in Biblical archaeology, so removing it, removes evidence for the Bible's authenticity... I'm so confused at why these extremely important verses are being left out or distorted. It makes me wonder if there is some sort of corruption within the company of Bible gateway to remove such key elements. Or maybe someone hacked the site?? This is a HUGE deal to misquote these seemingly insignificant verses. READ YOUR REAL TEXT BIBLE. Do not trust BibleGateway. Something is very wrong.

Inappropriate ads which are NOT due to previous websites visited they are scams and fraud

Bible Gateway is too in love with ad revenue over a calm uninterrupted learning experience for its users. Ads are understandable for site expenses but just as News outlets today, distractions with blinking flashing and sudden blocking of text ads rather that simple non intrusive ads. The Truth - If they were devoted to Gods word, they would not attempt to distract from it. Therefore they worship mammon more than God.

You have ruined it with the Ads!!!! Hope you loose all your readers.

Wow biblegateway you think it’s a harmless website but safari blocked 40 trackers, and they allow inappropriate ads, seriously on a bible website?
