Mantis Bible Study for Android Now Available
Mantis Bible Study for Android is now available from the Google Play App Store. If you have an Android phone or tablet, please give it a try, and be sure to share this news with your friends who have Android devices. Send your feedback or suggestions to Android <at> MantisBible.com.
4.9.18 Update Now Available
A few minor bugs have been fixed in this release. In addition, the tap-and-hold "hilite" feature has been removed. This feature was redundant and was not as powerful as the existing Tools / Highlighter feature. Since it also caused crashes in certain volumes at specific times, we chose to remove it. To highlight passages, tap Tools, then tap the highlighter icon to toggle the highlighter on. Then choose a color from the palette, tap the first word and then the last word in the selection you want to highlight. To highlight a single word, simply tap it twice.
Apple Releases Mantis Bible Study 4.9.17 Update
