I've gotten really spoiled with Pocket E-Sword on my PDA having NASB and KJV with embedded Strong's Numbers links which take me to the strongs or NASEC dictionaries with the greek or hebrew word AND the definitions.

Given the iPhone's UI, this would be even sweeter in Mantis software.

Pretty please?

This is coming in our 2.0 release.  I expect this to take another week or so, maybe two, plus however long it takes Apple to approve it.

The NASB with Strongs is called NASS (New American Standard w/Strongs) here at Mantis, and is available for purchase now as a "pre-release" meaning it'll operate as the regular NASB until the 2.0 release comes out, then it'll have the full Strongs capability.

Just purchased the pre-release NASS (thanks for publishing it -- I was holding off on buying this my preferred translation until the Strong's version arrived!)

Problem: Version shows up as purchased and ready to download on my iPhone, but when I go to download it, it pops up, "This title is not yet available. Please check back soon!"  My understanding was that it would function, just w/o the Strong's data until the next program update.  Am I doing something wrong?

You need to "Get Updates" first -- then restart the program and you'll be able to download it.

What "Get Updates" is doing in this case is updating the list of Bibles, and marking the NASS as "available".
