PLEASE please! let us see bookmarks/markers previews – Mantis Bible Study Review

October 14, 2019 Down to last drops of patience before just dropping this app that used to be wonderful. It has been more than a year now and I still cannot see bookmarks/markers previews!!! What’s the point of creating a marker or importing old bookmarks if I cannot longer see what each passage says without clicking on each?! I need to be able to see at a glance which is the verse I am looking for! This used to be so wonderful. Such a great way to collect and organize bookmarks...now is all almost a mess. Thank you ********************************** So, it has been a while now since Mantis X was released. I was(am?) very happy with the new features etc. but sad that the KEY features it did great are now gone or confusing. It appears version X is a couple of steps from becoming great again, but now so many days have passed and I don’t see changes, therefore kind of loosing hope here. One big one is: BOOKMARKS It was awesome and simple. I could add/have my favorite bookmarks in folders/topics that I created and with a glance I could see which verse was the one I wanted without having to click on it. Now that ability is gone...so I have to click on each verse one by one to find the verse that came to mind in an impromptu conversation, group bible study, or at church. Just allow bookmarks preview(!!!) inside each folder and call it a day! Let us choose how many preview lines we want to see? Apparently it is impossible or very hard to do given all these months without the fix. Three stars because I stopped adding bookmarks (or markers) long time ago...and if I only use this app to read the Bible then there are other apps that can do that somewhat better. I still love the app, but I miss how simple it was. My previous review (a year ago) is below. ************** Not exaggerating here. I've done A LOT of research and tried almost all there is out there. Even when this app hasn't been updated in a while (apparently), and shows now some signs of bugs the more iOS sends updates, it is STILL the best app out there. Bookmarks and folders (for preparing and studying) is one of its best features. When I emailed for help I received responses within an hour. The reason I am giving 5 stars and not 4 is because I just read some 1 to 3 stars reviews that are simply not truth, and so I am in a way trying to balance it to an honest rating. I can still recommend this app as the best out there. I wish the app developer had a boost of time, or resources to give it another push.
