I have a question. With the paid 4.0 bundles, can you re-download everything you've bought off the mantisbible.com web site like you can with Mantis Free?
Also, why the price difference with the American Standard and all of the other versions? 29.99 vs. 17.99??? Thanks!

First answer: YES. If you purchase any 4.0 version, it will instantly recognize anything you've purchased before and will immediately put it in the "Ready to Download" section. It's pretty smart like that.

Second, the NASS (New American Standard with Strongs) contains the full text of the NASB Bible, NASB translation notes, plus strongs numbers, plus integrated Hebrew and Greek Strongs Dictionaries. It's a pretty hefty resource, and is a really popular product. It also includes the KJV text for free.

This is exactly why there are jailbroken phones!
This is almost ridiculous.

Today Apple released "Mantis Bible Study: FREE Edition."

This is a separate app from the regular free one, but it IS 4.0, and it's compatible with your old version.

So here's how you can get 4.0 for free today:

Back up your notes in 3.1.0.
Download and install Mantis Bible Study: FREE Edition.

Restore your notes.

Download all your purchases again. They'll show up instantly and automatically.

Scratch that last message.

Apple just released the regular 4.0 update. Just wait a couple of hours and it should show up as an update. Back up your notes first, just to be safe, though.

It is finally out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


One suggestion: Have you ever thought about putting in reverse color like Stanza does, where the background is black and the letters are white which makes it easier on the eyes when reading a long time?

Thank you,
Matt

We are considering this, but for us it is way more complicated. We have regular text, strongs definitions, translators notes, personal notes, grammatical codes, etc. and they all use different text colors.

Great news on Apple releasing v4!

I'm loving the new Strongs integration between Bible and Dictionary. And the Reading Plans are handy too.

Thanks! Thanks! Thanks!
