I’ve had the app for months now, I’ve updated it and everything several times, I pay for it, still doesn’t work. Other sections glitch as well where it won’t answer the question. ### 4/5 — New features page *2022-09-16* This is a great resource. Downloaded the app on my iPhone but it doesn’t allow me to move past the “New Features” page. My iOS software is 15.7 -not sure if that’s the issue but hope to eventually utilize this app. **Developer response:** The app has been updated to support smaller iPhone screens. Thanks for the kind review and feedback! ### 4/5 — Thank you *2021-11-30* This app has put the DAFIs right at my finger tips at some very helpful times already. Keep up the good work and thank you for your persistence **Developer response:** Thank you for your encouraging review! Please feel free to use the app’s built-in feedback form to submit any ideas or suggestions you may have. ### 5/5 — Quick Reference *2021-05-20* I’m using this app all the time as a shirt to quickly pull up AFI references. Thanks for providing this easy to use resource! **Developer response:** Wild Weasel Shirt, I appreciate you taking the time to reviewAFI Explorer! If you have any feedback or suggestions on how to improve the app, please let me know. ⚡️ ### 5/5 — Helpful tool *2021-05-17* This app makes it super easy to reference Air Force pubs on the go. **Developer response:** Thanks for your review, glad it is a helpful tool! ### 3/5 — Needs work *2021-05-14* So far so good with the app. It does need a little revision as the “search” function isn’t working. Also maybe adding folders for “AFIs”, “QTPs”, etc. You can also ensure the AFIs are in numerical order as they are scattered all around. **Developer response:** Thanks for the feedback! Many of your functionality concerns have been addressed in recent updates (working search, sorted numerical order, etc). If you get the chance, could you please update your review? Thanks 😁 ### 5/5 — Awesome app *2021-05-04, version 0.3.0* Amazing app! Fantastic developer as well! -Christopher ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — No longer works *2025-01-12* I tried using it today and only got error messages on every prompt I attempted. ### 1/5 — Won’t load *2023-12-15, version 2.1* It won’t load! When I select a pub it just gives me the wheel of death! It used to work great, but now it is useless. ### 1/5 — Unusable *2022-12-09* My husband told me to download this for work, but I can get past the new feature page making it impossible to use **Developer response:** The latest update should address this issue! Please send me an email if you’re still experiencing trouble ### 2/5 — Broken Consistently *2024-03-20* App used to be great but it seems like every time they push an update it just breaks something else. I currently have no AFI library and it just says I don’t have any favorites saved. Which I do, but that’s besides the point, I’m not trying to look at my favorites. I might as well just delete the app and stick to surfing epubs on a browser. **Developer response:** Hello! Thanks for your review. The latest update should address the search issues you’ve been experiencing. Please reach out using the support link in the app if you continue to experience any problems! ### 2/5 — Updates ? *2023-12-06, version 2.1* Started off as a great tool but pubs never got updated ### 3/5 — Chat feature not working *2025-06-06* I’m a little bummed that the chat feature is buggy- otherwise a solid app ### 3/5 — Search? *2023-04-01* The search feature crashes the app every time I use it. Since I’m not generally using it to peruse, I really need the search functionality for it to be beneficial. Once that’s fixed it’ll be 5 stars again! **Developer response:** Hello! Thanks for your review. The latest update should address the search issues you’ve been experiencing. Please reach out using the support link in the app if you continue to experience any problems! ### 3/5 — Search function is broke *2023-02-04* The search function disappears when trying to search keywords **Developer response:** The latest update improves the search tab and should fix this problem. Please let me know if it doesn’t work the way you expected! ### 3/5 — Updates to regs *2022-06-04* All in all a great app to use! My only concern is the lack of updates to the regs themselves.. their are some of the Instructions or manuals that haven’t been updated in years, while the recurve normal updates in the operational side. But other than that, a real solid app! **Developer response:** Thanks for your review! Many of the pubs were not being updated in the previous version of the app, but now they are! Please let me know if you continue to find stale pubs ### 3/5 — ROTC Instructor *2021-06-08, version 1.1.0* The app works but does not have any of the material I use. We use afrotci 36-2011 vol 1 and it is not available ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Excellence in all we do *2025-12-11* This app is so helpful to have all AFIs at your fingertips. Thank you! ### 5/5 — Fantastic APP!!!! *2024-12-05* It’s really fluid, easy to use, and most importantly UP-TO-DATE! ### 5/5 — Great for Supervisors, Flight Chiefs, and Program Managers. *2024-10-25* I use this platform as a Flight Chief and when I fill in as SEL. It helps me research a program quickly as well as provides quick access to our standards and discipline. The search feature is solid and I love the highlighting capabilities. I do caution the use of the chat function. Ever so often it will give a false message on how the regulation reads. So when you do use it make sure you double check it before referencing it to your troops or putting it in a Staff Summary Sheet. Overall, I’m very pleased with this app and hope it continues to receive support funding and upgrades. ### 5/5 — Oh my God I wish I had this as an NCOIC *2024-03-04* Of a huge installation security program in the early 2010s ### 5/5 — New Version is Awesome *2024-01-10* This new version is amazing! So many pubs instantly accessible! Also ChatAFI is great! Now I can get simple answers about regs instead of scrolling through thousands of pages! This app is a must have for any Air Force member! **Developer response:** Thanks, Jack! Stay tuned for more updates and improvements to the AI tooling in the app. More features coming soon 😎 ### 5/5 — Quick access to pubs *2022-06-02, version 2.1* The Air Force Connect app apparently has a pubs feature, but this is honestly so much better. The feature to download/cache pubs to your iPhone is great when working on the flight line with crappy wifi. **Developer response:** 👏🏼 ### 5/5 — Great app. Hero that we needed. *2022-03-08* Well done with this app. Constantly having to dig in the policy at work, so this is helpful on the go. Feature requests: 1. Ability to search whole words, case sensitive, etc. Few of my regulars use single alphabetical policy. (ex. X event, letter of X, etc. etc.) 2. Bookmark/highlighter features. If highlighting something it would be nice to see what was highlighted solely or bookmark frequently reference sections after highlighting or something similar. Exporting those highlights. 3. Chapter searching, without having to scroll to the top. Love to see how this app evolves. Thanks! **Developer response:** Hello! Thank you so much for your review and suggestions. Many of these suggestions are now available in the latest update! Please send me an email using the support link in the app if you have any other suggestions or concerns. ### 5/5 — Simple and useful *2021-11-30* Good work, love seeing Airmen put their talent to good use to make us better. Thanks for a simple easy to use application, especially considering e-pubs has been down recently. **Developer response:** Thank you for your review 👋 ### 5/5 — Well done *2021-07-10* This is great, thank you for helping improve the accessibility and ease of use of AFIs. My only suggestion is to possibly add the ability to access a chapter view while scrolling in the PDF, instead of having to scroll all the way back to the top. Awesome work. **Developer response:** Sean, this is a great idea! Thanks for the review, and keep an eye out for future updates. I expect that something like this will be included very very soon! 👏🏻 ### 5/5 — Added Supplements *2021-07-03* Just got the app, so far it works great! Can you add AFRC_SUPs to the app? **Developer response:** Done! The latest version of the app includes support for MAJCOM supplements. Thanks for the feedback and the review 🙏🏻😎 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
