When I load Mantis there seems to be a pause before things are accessible. For example, I often open it first thing in the morning to read my devotions, so I hit the toolbar button to open the devotion. But when I am not in wifi range and using Edge, it can often take as long as a minute to become responsive. I have checked the settings and found one item that has to do with checking the internet and turned it off. But is this normal?

This problem is fixed in the 4.5.0 version of Mantis. Apple has released most of the paid versions of 4.5.0, but not the free version (yet.) Hopefully it'll show up in the App Store within a day or two.

Thanks for the info - look forward to seeing it soon!
Love the way it tracks my devotional readings.

Got an email saying it was ready in the app store. But I do not see it yet.

Apple released the 4.5.0 update to all versions of Mantis EXCEPT the free version on November 6th. The update to the free version has not been released yet.

We've emailed them asking why, but have not heard anything back yet.

Meanwhile... back at the ranch...

We're putting the finishing touches on 4.6.0 -- it should be ready for upload to Apple today.

Just updating in case someone is reading this to decide whether to get MB. This is now fixed in the latest release. Thanks!!
