Bible Gateway not loading

You want to download or update Bible Gateway and it takes forever for the download to start or for the app to be completely downloaded because it just won’t load. Many then desperately try to restart the download of Bible Gateway, but this does not lead to any useful result either.

The next attempt by many will be to check the internet connection. But the WLAN shows full reception and it still doesn’t work or works very slowly.

Bible Gateway loads very slowly

If Bible Gateway is downloading very slowly, it could also be due to the size of the app itself. The progress bar gives you a slow download, but this may only appear because of the size of the app. In the event of an update, you can check in the respective app store how big the installation file is and see whether it may load for so long due to its size.

We hope that the following solutions help so that you can load Bible Gateway and the download doesn’t take forever. If you know of other possible solutions, we look forward to receiving a message from you at the end of this article.

Check internet connection
The reasons why Bible Gateway cannot be loaded cannot be more different. In most cases it is due to your own internet connection. It is quite possible that your device is in a WiFi network, but it still does not work, so you should try to access a website on the Internet using your browser. If this works fine, then it’s not your smartphone or tablet. If you try to download the app via the mobile network (which is not recommended because of the data consumption), then you should check how stable the mobile connection is. Perhaps your data volume has also been used up and is therefore only available slowly.It can also happen that a download from the mobile network is not possible due to your settings.
In this case you should check the settings for mobile data on your device.
Restart smartphone or tablet
Often there are problems with the App Store after updating the Android or iOS operating system. After the system has been updated, it may well happen that the connection with the login data for the respective store no longer works securely. In this case you should restart your smartphone or tablet, which will reload all settings and functions and, if necessary, re-establish connections to the App Store.
Check server status
If a restart and a working internet connection did not solve the problem and Bible Gateway still loads slowly or not at all, then it could also be on the servers of the iTunes Store for iOS or for Android on the servers of the Google Play Store lie. It shouldn’t be due to the servers of the developer HarperCollins Christian Publishing Inc, as the app is on the App Store servers, in rare cases these can be overloaded or malfunctions occur due to maintenance work.
check Apple server status
check Google server status
For Android: Empty the cache and delete the data in the Play Store
This will restart the app completely and problems may be resolved.
1. Open the “ Settings ” app on the device.
2. Tap Apps & Notifications then click View all apps .
3. Scroll down and tap Google Play Store.
4. Tap Memory Empty cache .
5. Then tap on Clear data .
6. Open the Play Store again and try the download again.

So, we hope the tips and tricks were helpful and the Bible Gateway download works again quickly and without any problems.

By the way there may be other problems and errors that you may find in the overview of all Bible Gateway problems .

If you continue to have problems and Bible Gateway is still loading slowly, we look forward to hearing from you.

I have been using Biblegateway for approximately 4 years and now [just in the past couple of weeks] it will not load no matter how I search different scripture titles or just typing in Biblegateway,com. The activity symbol just keeps going round.

I’ve been a subscriber for years and have the app. I keep a history of daily readings . The app will not open on either phone or ipad. I was away for 5 days flying and did not try to access it while away. I’m still receiving verses and devotionals by email but can’t get to my Bible reading history

The app hasn’t worked in a few weeks. Uninstalled and reinstalled. Turned phone off and back on. Still nothing. It simply blinks and goes back to my Home Screen when I tap on it. It’s a bummer for sure. Really like it and have been paying for it.
