### 4/5 — Lack of diversity

*2024-09-17*

Unfortunately, this app start from a very interesting idea and demanded/useful need for military training …. BUT there are not enough equipment/vehicles in the base…
Considering the price, I don’t yet recommend to purchase !… 
Wait for the ranking to improve !

### 5/5 — Great

*2022-04-21*

Really nice app. I will use it for work for sure. All the infos you need is in there.

Easy to naviguate. Great photos

### 5/5 — Empowerment at its best

*2022-04-19*

It boggles the mind how the system hasn’t had an open source, easily accessible reference library like this for years. Well done for taking the lead and making this widely available. I’ve spent 30 seconds on the app and think it’s ideal.

### 5/5 — Purchase this app

*2022-04-18*

One of the best apps I’ve ever had, one of a kind so definitely worth the price. Good work 👍🏻

### 5/5 — For enthusiasts and professionals alike

*2022-04-18*

Great tool to help those in the profession of arms identify vehicles on the battlefield. It also gives the user the ability to identify which countries use specific equipment. For example, if you want to know if the polish are going to bring BMP-1s to the fight you simply access the IFV tab on the home page, select BMP-1, and then select the flag at the bottom right corner. 

AFV Recognitions also allows the user to place different vehicles side by side for comparison.

I can also see this being a quick and effective planning tool for table top exercises and PME courses.

### 5/5 — Fantastic !

*2022-04-17*

Very well detailed app, very handy and simple to use.

### 1/5 — No pics

*2026-02-04*

App looks to be good but there’s no pictures how am I supposed to know what I’m looking at if there’s no pictures

### 1/5 — App simply doesn’t work

*2025-08-12*

I had high hopes for AFV REC, given its promise of providing an engaging and educational experience in armoured fighting vehicle recognition. However, my experience has been nothing short of frustrating. For over a year now, the app has consistently crashed upon launch, rendering it completely unusable. 

Despite multiple updates, the issues persist, and it appears the developers have either abandoned the app or are unable to resolve the ongoing technical problems. It's disheartening to invest in an application that costs a premium only to find that it barely functions. 

If you’re considering purchasing this app, I strongly recommend looking elsewhere. There are better options available that deliver on their promises and provide a seamless user experience. Save your money and time—avoid this application.

### 1/5 — Very Limited, Incomplete, Not worth

*2024-11-14*

This is a scam for 10$, I thought it would be extensive for this price, this App was recommended off a google search.

For example; the complete list of Australian vehicles is 3... even under the section where it has a picture of a bush master it doesn't even have it listed in the sub-category. 

Save your money.

### 1/5 — Not recommended

*2024-09-06*

Not recommended; limited and not clear to recognition.

### 1/5 — Fault (error must be connected to internet)

*2023-07-25*

Connection fault, wont open with mobile data

### 2/5 — Lots of info but quiz is broken

*2024-12-04*

Tons of info but there’s no photos when you try and do a quiz basically making it a glorified wikipedia app that costs $10

### 2/5 — Not so good

*2022-09-29*

Unfortunately, there is only RUS technic. So there is no others ... very sad to pay for so little...

### 3/5 — Good App

*2023-02-14*

Has mostly Russian vehicles; it would be great to get more variety from more nato countries. Also, the app crashes every time I try to go into vehicles that I have favourited. Great in depth information for the vehicles listed.

### 3/5 — Great tool but limited selection and too pricey

*2022-05-06*

This is a awesome tool for the AntiArmor community and military enthusiasts, super easy to use with tons of great information, and it has very nice studying tools for armor ID. My only problems comes with the limited selection and $6 price tag. The app only has Russian, Chinese, and Ukrainian vehicles. The information on these vehicles is extensive, and with the war in Ukraine and the threat of China i can understand the decision, but combined with the price for information that’s free to find, it’s hard to recommend the app to my peers

### 4/5 — Expansion

*2024-12-23*

The app is very sophisticated and definitely worth £5 
However can we have some drone recognition please!!

### 5/5 — Nr. 1 Nachschlagewerk

*2024-01-19*

Alle Infos auf einen Blick. Super strukturiert & übersichtlich. Für alle, die in wenigen Sekunden über einen bestimmten Fahrzeug- oder Panzertyp Infos suchen.

### 5/5 — Outstanding app

*2023-10-10*

This app is an awesome way to find the differences between different tanks, fighting vehicles, etc. 

This will help me with spreading news about the War in Ukraine and the War in Israel.

### 5/5 — Amazing Tool

*2023-09-09*

This app is an amazing tool for teaching vehicle ID. It’s helped me teach soldiers in my unit the differences between Warsaw Pact tanks which often times look almost identical.  The app even contains a rotary wing section. This app is currently limited on the vehicles it displays but I eagerly await the addition of more vehicles in the future.

### 5/5 — Simply no competition

*2023-07-27*

The absolute best in the business

### 5/5 — Great app

*2023-03-16*

Would love to see more variety, as well as older vehicles added

### 5/5 — Awesome app, updates need to continue

*2023-02-01*

Really handy app for AFV recognition. Vehicles currently available have a good level of information that is simplified.
At the moment is mainly focused on Russian/Soviet AFV’s, however there is some China and US vehicles too.
Also covers multiple categories like IFV, MBT, Recon, artillery and others.
Hope to see updates continue and more vehicles and data added.
Will likely recommend this.

### 5/5 — Great!

*2023-01-30*

Good tool for military and non military tank enthusiasts!

### 5/5 — Brilliant app 10/10

*2022-12-28*

There’s no words express how good and useful this app is it baffles me that there’s no source from the military itself such as this one and they to invest in something like this as it’s helps anti tanks such as myself further improve my knowledge. Flawless app 10/10 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

### 5/5 — Top

*2022-09-16*

Sehr Ausführlich ! Top

### 5/5 — Crashing when seeing description of ammo types

*2022-08-21*

This is an issue I ran into when trying to see the description for APBC-T ammo type for the 2A42 on the BMP-2M

It always crashes the app when I try to open it.

Overall this is amazing. Thankyou for making this
