Hi all, for those who haven't already found out - Mantis 4.0 free version update is out. Today. After 3,5 months... Hopefully they'll not hold on the next update so terribly long.

I have to tell you -- this was a LONG wait. We started waiting back in December. I, thankfully, have been using version 4.0 for a couple of months now by purchasing the Message version -- not my favorite translation but I am glad I have it -- just in case I need to use it someday.

So far I have purchased the King James red letter edition, the NASB Strongs. the NKJV, the ESV and NET Premium.

I rejoiced the other day when I noticed that the Holman translation was released (my second favorite after the ESV) as well as the NIV (not my favorite but it is good to have it just because and because it is probably the world's most known English translation today). I also installed the Russian and the Swedish translations since I speak those languages a bit.

And now -- after such a long wait -- version 4.0 is out! Congratulations to all and Mantis developers. A Top 5 most used application on my iPhone!

And just to add -- this is DEFINITELY the best Bible app in the App store and probably on any mobile platform to day. The feature-set is so rich -- it's all I could ever want in an iPhone bible -- now that I the translations are there as well. Don't look any further than Mantis -- today!
