  • Does not show bookmarked verse previous anymore. I am Very sad

    Si many years, working hard to build my favorite topic/folders of favorite verses, so when I needed them they will be there quickly available, AND I could quickly see the preview to select the verse that I needed. Mantis doesn’t do this anymore.

    I am stuck with this one after spending money in bibles and commentaries…but rely on Holy Bible app for verse search alternative.

    It seems this one has been left abandoned. Once the best study bible app out there with incredible bookmarks capabilities. Very sad because there no other app out there that does what Mantis used to do… that simple and well.

  • Excellent app but no support

    I purchased this app years ago for my phone. I have used it almost every day. It is a really great app, and I like the Bible versions that are available. The problem is that there is absolutely no support. My iphone is now so old that it will not update to the latest versions, but I cannot transfer any of my purchases to my new iPad or a new phone, so once I go to a new phone, I will lose all the money that I have paid for added Bible versions. I have sent numerous emails to the company, but there is nobody left to respond. I used an email when I was in school, and now that email is no longer valid, but the app does not allow me to put in a new email, and there is nobody left at the company to even read emails or respond to them to assist me. it is one of the best apps out there, but I highly recommend that you never buy additional versions.

  • Useful, but frustrating

    Frustrating. Upgraded to Mantis X a few years ago and ever since it’s been Impossible to access my notes. The bookmarks, notes, & etc are lumped into a new feature, & impossible to figure out how to find any of it, after years of trying. Mantis claims the notes are not lost, but good luck proving that.
    Lesson: keep your Bible notes on paper, because app developers periodically have “great new ideas” that don’t pan out. The three stars are for the NASB with Strongs, search tool & options (still easy & intuitive), as well as many multiple translations available.

  • Love it

    I think I’ve had mantis since my first iPhone 3 maybe 10 years ago or so. I couldn’t love it more! I spent maybe $50 on the new American standard with strongs, the BDB Hebrew dictionary, and the TGD Greek.

    I love being able to tap a word and instantly see the Hebrew or Greek, and all the definitions, usages, and cross references. This was the best $50 I ever spent!

  • Beware of ignored bugs

    All software has bugs. I get that. I understand it. But the worse big is one that the builder ignores. I’ve been using this app for more than 10 years. I’ve purchased over $500 worth of add on content. I loved it.

    But in the past year I’ve lost the ability to create notes and connect to a passage. I can create the note but as soon as I leave the chapter when I come back the notes are gone. I’ve shared this with the builder dozens of times. Sent videos showing the bug. My requests for an explanation or a fix seem to fall on deaf ears.

    As a result I’m reluctantly forced to leave the app and all of my content investments and find another. That grieves me. I don’t know the makeup of this company. Perhaps a single individual who has become uninterested? I don’t know. Hard to find out.

    Bugs I understand. But ignoring those bugs is simply not acceptable for me. This decision will cost me. I will lose 10 years of personal bible notes. I will lose over $500 of content. But I must have an app which supports personal notes in my bible at a verse level.

  • Beware greedy developer

    I used to love this app. Spent lots of money but got my buck’s worth. And then... update of app... couldn’t restore most of my purchases so, correct me if I’m wrong, Mr. Mantis, but that seems a brilliant way to make money. I tried to get support, but couldn’t. So, too bad there is NO integrity. I refuse to trust my money with purchasing something from some company which has used an upgrade as a way to keep the money coming in. No real effort here. If Mr. Mantis, your developers are true Christians, I’d repent.

  • An easy to use and powerful Bible study tool

    Mantis Bible Study is an easy to use and powerful Bible study tool that works across all my Apple platforms — iPad, iPhone & Mac desktop. Over the years I have built up a deep resource of versions, commentaries and dictionaries that enable me to access English and original language tools. I especially like the NASB with Strongs, the Greek with Strongs, the NET Bible Premium Edition, Brown-Drivers-Briggs, TDNT, and the varied study Bible notes that are offered. I have all of these resources in books, but Mantis makes accessing the information much faster. GREAT TOOL !!!

  • Favorite Bible Study App

    With so many Bible apps out there, Mantis uniquely lets me view cross references without leaving the verse I was studying. With the NASS, I can see other uses of Greek words and even their root words without leaving the verse I was studying. I haven’t found any other resource quite like it.
