I would love to see a pointed Hebrew text, I have a lot of trouble reading the Hebrew text without the vowels. The other bible program Olive Tree has it and it scrolls with the English which is really cool but I've already invested in Mantis and would love to be able to use the Hebrew in accordance with the other Bibles and resources I've purchased. I would also like to second the request for the IVP dictionaries which I noticed someone else mentioned.

Same here :-) I'd also love to have the pointed Hebrew text, ideally also with Strongs. I think there was a little discussion here already some time ago, but nothing has been released yet. The accented Greek text with Strongs would be nice too (both OT and NT).

BTW Olive Tree has it, but without Strongs, or that Gramcord dictionary the're using...

No one ever got back to me about the pointed hebrew text. Does that mean it is not on the table? The pointed greek and hebrew texts (I like the idea of tagging them with strongs too but I'll take what I can get) would be really great to have and I'm just curious whether Mantis has any plans to put them out.

We plan to get them, but I don't have anything to report on a time frame yet, sorry.

Hi, I just wanna ask, if there is any news concerning this topic. Not only I am impatiently waiting, because this feature is the only thing that otherwise excellent Mantis lacks. There are apps that offer the pointed hebrew text, but no dictionary linked to it. And you cannot simply read the biblical unpointed text, unless you have memorized it or know hebrew very well (and still there are some disagreements about some words in OT). So the only way is to combine 2 apps and since iPhone doesn't offer multitasking, this is a very annoying thing to do...

Thanks for the answer!

Sorry, no word yet. We're behind schedule with this, but hope to get back to it later this month.

Yes, we'll post here when we're getting closer to releasing it.

Thanks for keeping us updated. I don't know if you would know the answer to this but when you do release the pointed hebrew and greek texts, will they be updates or will they be completely different modules that must be purchased separately?

Sorry, but I don't know the answer. If we can get pointed versions of the texts we have now, then an upgrade is possible. I doubt it's possible, though, but we'll see.
