Mantis Bible Study

Works. Expensive plug-ins. No…support.

I’ve been with Mantis for over a decade, investing in many bible translations and books. Unfortunately, I’ve upgraded my devices many times since anyone at Mantis has updated their app. Their website has been unchanged for years and while they gladly take money from customers, their contact us page doesn’t work and they don’t respond to emails. With my latest phone update, my password no longer works to restore purchases and it seems nobody is around to help. If the company does revive itself I will update this review but as of now my purchases are worthless.

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.

App does not seem to be working… Tried to reach out for support but to no avail.. The app is not loading the commentaries I’ve purchased.. and I can’t seem to get the developers to help. Apple support says they cannot help.. I would think twice about using this app and purchasing books on it.. There is no help … would like to rewrite this review if someone could fix the problem…

I am enjoying the app but in this new version I cannot find out how to save notes I make within app on the verses. I have lost a lot of notes

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 I used an email when I was in school, and now that email is no longer valid, but the app does not allow me to put in a new email, and there is nobody left at the company to even read emails or respond to them to assist me.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.

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.

Received this email notice “ The makers of Mantis Bible bring you: Bible Prep - Bible Lessons & Sermons Made Easy” So will we see an update with bug fixes?

Yes the app is free and the add-one expensive, but any study books I buy are expensive. I am just happy to hav ethem on the go. Studying the word is an ivestment in time as well as money. If you want a bible reader this may not be the program for you, if you want study software look no further. Thanks for the app and the support! Update***** There has been no updates in 4 years. Was a great app. Now I’ve moved on.

I bought this app and for some reason the owner has stopped updating it after taking peoples money. There should be a refund issued. Now if the developers are deceased now. I apologize. But if they are still living , it is wrong to have people buying the full version if you are not going to keep the app up and running.
