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.

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.

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.

I've used this for several years, and suddenly it stops recognizing the targets, which renders the unit unusable. All Mantis' troubleshooting makes it seem like you're the issue, but when you use something for years the same way, and it works then suddenly stops, I feel like that's developer issues. The phone navigation bar also stays up making it nearly impossible to navigate the app.

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
