Working great with the Mantis Laser Academy kit on Pixel 8 and my G19. Going to be a great way to do dry fire drills at home.

Much better than my previous dry fire system! This Mantis X system is a must if you're serious about your training! Save money and ammo in the convenience of your home!
★★★★★A.K.L. Sarbiewski· Nov 20, 2025
I am very excited about Mantis laser training academy. I can already tell the way I'm moving as I squeeze the trigger that I pull to the right some when I'm squeezing the trigger. On the range with the recoil it's hard to understand exactly what I'm doing wrong. This is a great way for me to save money on ammo while becoming a much better marksman. Lastly, the variety of drills targets and other things like that related to training keeps it fresh and keeps it from getting boring.

App used to run great and now the bottom navigation buttons and the notification bar overlay the app and prevent you from being able to navigate.
★☆☆☆☆Jason Larke· Sep 3, 2026
Shot detection is too finicky, no integration with Mantis. I shouldn't need two devices and two apps to tell my target score and control score. September 2026 update: the app still gives me false positive shot detection sometimes. Somehow reflection is indistinguishable from a red laser. The latest upgrade made everything worse, though. Now it tries to draw over my status bar, meaning that the settings dialog is inaccessible unless I rotate the phone to landscape. Mantis you need to test more

The most recent update caused issues with displaying correctly on my phone. The Mantis screen seems to be layered below my phone screen, so at the top I see my phone system info (time, signal strength, battery, etc.) over the Mantis info (streaks, shots taken, etc.). At the bottom, my phone's nav buttons are on top of the Mantis info (history, settings, training), so I can no longer hit those buttons, making the app not work.
