NEW VERSION REQUIRES LOG IN AND PERSONAL INFO!!! – Mantis Bible Study Review

Update 3: The fact that this App must require to sign in with your email in order to use it, does not smell good for an overpriced App. It appears that the App may be collecting your private info from your email account, and who knows what else, while you're using it. Why else would it require to "sign in" to use it after you overpaid for it? There are other good and less expensive Bible apps in the AppStore that do not require to sign in. If you're still using this app, LOG OUT AFTER YOU FINISH USING IT! That will prevent the app from collecting more of your private info if you keep it open. Update 2: A few days ago I installed the new version of this App, and to my surprise it first asked me to "Log In" and stayed connected in order to use it, otherwise I could only use the old vanilla stripped down KJV version without the Strong's Numbers, red lettering, and other things included in the Study version that I had paid for years ago. That is preposterous! More over, it also showed me a page asking me for personal information that the app doesn't need in order to work. Why does the developer want our personal info to log in, and stay logged in, to use the full App? So our personal data gets stored in their servers? This seems like total commercialization of the Sacred Scriptures by not just being happy to get $19.95 for an App that although is good, it's way overpriced. I hope the developer changes this App to the way it was before, and not let greed get on their way, by trying to additionally monetize our personal info. In the meantime, I have deleted the App and started using another one that doesn't need any log in tricks. My recommendation to all users is to avoid this App until the developer changes it, so we can use it like we did before the update. Update: This app, and probably ALL of Mantis apps, are 32 bits thus won't work with 64 bit iOS 11, meaning they're good for about 3 more months. So, if you're upgrading your iOS to v11 or buying a new iDevice in 3 months, you better consider another Bible app if you want to keep studying the Bible. I'm running iOS 10.2.1 and when I try to open the app, it shows the message that the developer needs to update it, then it crashes. The most expensive app in my iPhone and it's now totally worthless. Don't buy this. It's a total ripoff!
