Sucks
Ever since they had an update about a year ago it has been unusable. Cannot turn phone on it’s side to mirror on tv which I was able to do and support couldn’t understand how I was able to do it. Cannot detect all targets even with filter on.
Great!!
I have such better accuracy after just a couple days of use.
Apps been down for over a month
When the app works, still has bugs and overheats the phone. App down for over a month with no fixes pushed out? That experience plus the bugs = 1 star behavior.
Learning a lot
Taking what instructors have taught while applying the feedback from Mantis, the accuracy of my shots, speed between shots, and overall confidence has improved.
Doesn't work on 18 Pro
Basically title. Worked on my old 13 Pro but doesn't work on my new 18 Pro. Not sure if it's the hardware or iOS 27 but the app isn't compatible with at least one of them. When you start a drill the area of the screen that would normally show the camera is black and says "calibrating". It never calibrates. Hope it gets fixed soon

App needs improvement
Update: Me again. My phone overheats like crazy. I can only get like two courses in before it gets really bad. Once improvement would be to reduce the time the camera is active. When displaying the instructions, no need to have the camera active.
When a course is completed, again immediately turn off camera.

Great way to practice your shots, and fun for a group to practice.
The app can use a lot of improvements. As a developer, I’d be happy to help out and take this app to the next level:
Better courses, ability to select trainings/course by target, more games/challenges.
My number 1 wishlist is ability to select trainings based off target. For the fun targets, the only way to practice them is to select a course and skip to the target we want, like “Control” and “Circles”.
If interested in help, please reply with an email to reach out to, I’d love to help improve something I’d regularly use, and I’m willing to offer my services for a kit or the similar (great discount for a senior dev). I’m actually hoping I can partner with your team 🙏🏻

I enjoy this system better than the previous one I order. It’s worth the price!
Improving
I am improving my trigger discipline with every session. Time to hit the paper targets.
Excellent Training
Laser Academy is exceptional! My sooting has drastically improved over the past 3-4 months that I have had the Laser Academy, Mantis X. I loved those so much that I recently purchased the training pistol and am really enjoying that as well. I’m able to shoot 3x’s as many rounds when training all because I don’t need to rack the slide after every shot. This training academy is superb and I highly recommend it!!

Amazing training aid
Although I am fortunate enough to have my own range in my yard, this is great for rainy days or winter is dark outside or when it’s hot outside or when I don’t wanna spend ammunition
Nothing like practicing

I want to love it
So much great info and clearly well put together processes. But the use of the camera makes it almost useless. The slightest movement sets it off. The celebration doesn’t hold and it will often no longer see a target even if nothing changed. I could be several yards away from the phone and it flickers back in fourth. I do not see this issue with the MantisX app

Fun and effective
I’m a new gun owner and I bought the Mantis Laser academy right away. Best thing I could’ve done! Get a great feel for the gun. Got a great feel for the sights. The training classes are fun and effective. Not the same as firing live ammo, nothing is. But training trigger control and getting my sights down has made a significant difference at the range for me. Worth every nickel!

Worth Your Time
Mantis is great for getting practice time in between range sessions.
Perfection
This is such a great training aid! So many different drills to help perfect your skills.
An expensive waste of time
Upgraded to the iPhone 17. This is not compatible. Tried different rooms different backgrounds it will not pick up the target at all. The system is updated to where you need to purchase a weapon that’s compatible with the system. So the laser bullets are pretty much useless. The stand that holds your phone if you barely touch it causes the target to get out of focus and move so it’s hard to take a picture to show that it can’t detect the target that it’s asking for.

Great product.
A little challenging to get the enrollment process done. App could use some work with being able to delete the numerous extra shots that flood in at times. The instruction is excellent and the feed back is right on. This definitely improves my results at the range and is helping me practice at the range much more efficiently (read; less money on live ammo). So I know when I have put in some time with effective set-fire training g, I am training.

App does not open camera
App only opens camera for open shooting and some modes, tutorials don’t work. $160 junk, followed all steps to troubleshoot on website. Save your money. iPhone 15 pro max
Works most of the time
I have really been enjoying the training, drills, and tests. I don’t like that I have to continually swap from my camera app back to the mantis app to force it to calibrate. It seems to go into a sleep mode if lift calibrating.
I have a iPhone 17 pro max.

Fantastic Practise
Laser Academy steps you through drills and courses with an X10 that will give feedback on accuracy and trigger control without a trip to the range or expending ammo.
