Is BibleGateway Down Right Now?

BibleGateway is the world’s most visited Bible website. It offers over 200 translations in 70 languages. The site is run by HarperCollins Christian Publishing, which bought it from Zondervan in 2008. When the BibleGateway status shows an outage, readers cannot open passages and the app may fail.

Why Is BibleGateway Not Available in My Region?
In September 2025, users in the UK and EU saw a message saying the site was unavailable in their region. The company called it a technical issue and worked on a fix. Most pages came back within weeks.
Some sections still show the unavailable notice. If you see it, try a different browser first. The block was region based, so it was not something users could fix themselves. Check the BibleGateway status page for updates.
If you travel, the site may behave differently across borders. This is rare but it has happened. A VPN is not recommended as it may break other features.
Why Does the BibleGateway App Crash?
After updates, the app can crash when you highlight verses or switch tabs. Some users see a blank home screen after switching sections. These bugs come from corrupted cache after an update.
Clear the app cache and reinstall it fresh. This wipes the bad data. Make sure your phone OS is up to date for best compatibility. Back up your notes and highlights first so you do not lose them.
Why Is My Subscription Not Working?
Some users paid for a full year but lost access before the renewal date. They wrote to support and got no reply for weeks. This is frustrating when you paid for premium commentaries.
Write to support with your case number if you have one. Keep your receipt email as proof of payment. Access should last until the billing period ends, even after you cancel.
Why Is Audio Playback Out of Sync?
The audio Bible can drift out of sync with the text. The passage list shows the wrong verse while audio plays. This started after a recent app update.
Restart the app and start the chapter again from the top. If it keeps drifting, reinstall the app. Report the issue so the team can patch it faster.
