Mantis Bible Study app good for
Searching for a convenient tool to use for keeping up with your studies on the iphone/ pod touch this one stands out like a beacon in the otherwise either overpriced or wireless- demanding versions of the word. First off, you dont have to pay anything and get the kjv for free together with all the tools included-so bookmarking, notes etc.- the true power, though comes when you add one or two other bibles to your collection- cross- reference was never that easy! Amazing!
Update: the new study tools complement the software to become close to perfect- not even the reading needs to be done, you can opt for buying a voice for cheap and having the bible read to you. Plus, iphone and ipad are equally supported. Great great value for Money!
Great app, though wish there was a NIV or The Message translation included, for those of us that dont like the older style writting. Love the interface, only complaint is that sometimes I accidentaly press the "Read" button while browsing, which then brings you back to the "Bookshelf". Not a big deal considering the ease of getting back in 2 more "clicks", but gets to be a drag after a while.
Thans a lot guys :), overall wonderful job!

This is a geat app ... very easy to use and the growing list of features with each update is remarkable. I love that the content resides on the devise for offline reading. Keeping notes is a breeze and multiple translation comparisions in Mantis is the best implimentation Ive seen on any device and with any software. Most importantly, Mantis customer serivce is stellar. Ive written of 3 seperate occaisions and on each of them I had direct response back and the issue was resolved very quickly. These guys and their app is the best!
I got this because I wanted to have the NRSV and only the NRSV on my ipod. (You buy the NRSV - deutero-canonical books included - online, then download to your ipod. You can delete the KJV that comes with the program.) If you highlight, "erasing" is a bit of a pain: you have to change the highlight colour to white (in Settings) and then go over your previous highlights. But Im not a big highlighter.... All in all, its a very nice app.
It has a really great selection of bibles and resources. The best setup that I have seen for bibles for the iPhone. Looks very nice too. The only thing, and I mean the only thing thats bad is the photo corners. On the last update, Mantis put these grey triangles at the top corners of where your reading. Please get ride of those!
Tweeking for example be careful on History page (it needs a back button in the spot instead of clear)
I deleted all my history of the pages I read :(
Create a warning at least !
Some bad moments
It would be nice if the "paragraph mode" works with the segond bible FLS for example its really frustrating :/ when Im reading cause I like the paragraph mode and it works only with the KJV.
Thanks if you can fix it。
UP :I asked to the devs they were misunderstood like yea we gonna do it and we still waiting for this paragraph mode
I love this app and habe used it for my biblestudies for many years. They havent been updazing it and now it doesnt work on my phone. Considering the money inn app purchases cost - that is a no ho. I hope they update it soon! It would also be great if highlighting would be easier and reliable.
I just love this free application! I enjoy being able to highlight scriptures, note take, and the daily scriptures which will help me read the Bible in a year.
Great app but seems somewhat buggy. Im getting really tired of losing my notes, bookmarks, etc. over and over. This is the most expensive app Ive ever bought (NKJV) but doesnt hold a candle to some of the development going into some of the free apps out there.
i cannot open it now, since the update and the nass version which was not free, i cannot access either...
Unstable and very VERY over priced compared to Pocket Bible by Laridian or Olive Tree Study Bible. Lacks many features others have like Logos.
