Mantis does not seem to be Android,especially Samsung, friendly. Major lighting issues when first downloaded this app. Support was very good and eventually corrected the problem. Since the last update this app is back to same issues. It will only function with lights so dim you can barely see the target. Also purchased the pro Compressed Surprise Break. The shot times are way off. Have emailed support 3 times since last update. No response at all from support. Very frustrating.

Cool idea but I have a very hard time getting the app to consistently recognize the smart targets. Even mid-drill the blue outline will drop and then it will miss shots. Seconds later it will recognize the target again even though I haven't changed anything. Finiky

Great app and is running fine on my phone's, but have not been able to get it to run on any of my tablets. Can you post the hardware and firmware requirements for a tablet? Thank you.

It actually registers hits, unlike other apps. It's a lot of value here, and I'm impressed (especially regarding the quality of the free content).

I did have some issues to start but customer service is top notch. They were able to resolve them with some screenshots and input from me. I do really like this app and the company that produces it. Works great, and had helps immensely with trigger pull and muscle memory between trips to the range. Not to mention it's just fun.

Best in class app! Kudos to the dev team at Mantis! I love the smart targets, and I love progress/history is tracked, and synchronized to the website. If you're taking wishlist requests I have 2: 1. It would be awesome to see a grouping functionality that tracks size of group from various distances. 2. It would be awesome to have a unified app that combines both the the laser trainer and the MantisX.
