Great but few issues!
I have been using MantisX 10 Elite for several months now with more than 4000+ Dry & Live shots (3K Dry and 1K Live, more or less). This technology and the app is great. MantisX team did great and it will improve your shooting skills, BUT: This app and technology needs to address 3 key issues: 1- Accuracy: with every app update, it seems the app/device accuracy suffers while shooting. This happens both for Dry and Live Fire. The app often mistakes dropping the slide for a shot and recognizes it as a shot. While, during Recoil-meter Drill or MantisX drill, it misses many Live fire shots. The app and device are far less accurate during Live fire than Dry fire. 2- Precision: what’s the point of this technology if it can’t produce the same results again under the same conditions. Precision is significantly degraded during live fire to the degree where you cannot trust this device. At Open Training or MantisX drill; during live fire, my score goes down from 86 to 1.7 in two consecutive shots while maintaining the perfect marksmanship rules. During Dry fire, precision is much higher and better. 3- Baseline Data: The app needs to show baseline figures for all drills done by novice, intermediate and professional shooters. The data is available out there on the internet and the app needs to show it for reference and baselining. MantisX can use its customer base data. For instance, for the holster draw, it shows my total time as 1.9 seconds on average! Is this good, bad! Providing some baselines for all drills will help towards achieving such targets. Finally, the Team at MantisX has been updating the app almost daily within these two weeks of Jan 2023 with an update being released almost every day! It seems every update brings more bugs than it resolved existing ones! May we please ask that you check your QA and QC processes before making such releases. From what I experienced so far, the app is more buggy than it was. Please fix it! Hope you take these suggestions seriously! All the best!
