User Reviews

Overall sentiment is mixed-to-negative. Users praise the app’s rich study resources and continued usefulness for on-the-go Bible study, plus a friendlier interface and faster playback options. However, widespread issues with audio, intrusive ads, and a major drop in navigation/search usability, along with performance lag and a steep price increase, dominate the feedback. Many are seeking alternatives or hoping for a revert toward earlier functionality.

Pros

Rich study aids including commentaries, maps, and deep-dive resources
Easy on-the-go access across devices (phone and laptop) for Bible study
Positive UI improvements and new playback features (friendly interface, 1.25x speed)

Cons

Audio playback bugs (nonresponsive controls, loops, and sleep/timer functions not working)
Intrusive ads and frequent ad interruptions
Major navigation and search regressions (hard to navigate, missing search filters, searches/daily verses harder to find)
Laggy performance and occasional crashes/freezes (jankiness during navigation)
Price increase and perceived poor value (annual cost up to $70)

Recent reviews

This app used to be halfway decent, but it is now so cluttered with ads that it’s completely unusable. The last straw for me is that somehow the default translation when I try to look anything up is in Italian. I didn’t select that. I’m sure I could change it back but why bother. Anything would be better than this.

I have Bible Gateway Plus on my PC and love having access to various Bible translations, Commentaries and Dictionaries. So, it was a no-brainer to add the app to my iPhone 17. However, when I try to use the Study Bible resources (in particular NRSV Cultural Backgrounds and NKJV Chronological Study) on my iPhone, I am unable to scroll past the first few verses to get deeper into the chapter. Very frustrating. I wonder if anyone else has this problem.
