### 2/5 — app error ?

*2026-04-06, version 1.147.0*

was great the first few weeks with updated photos of flights, but ever since the 3/30 update all flights say no photos at all?? there were photos before and now none. disappointed with this and not just my flight but all that i click on!! please fix soon 🙏🙏

### 3/5 — Super slow.

*2025-11-04*

I downloaded this app to see pictures of my boyfriend. It takes days at most 3, to see new photos. I also tried to watch “basic training by week” it literally wouldn’t even play. I love to be able to see pictures but it takes absolutely forever.

### 3/5 — ok

*2025-09-17, version 1.133.0*

the app is alright, it has it’s faults but it’s not faults that will destroy it

### 1/5 — Won’t load

*2025-07-20, version 1.131.0*

I open the app and it won’t load is just shows error

### 1/5 — App does not work anymore

*2025-07-13, version 1.131.0*

The app does not work for me every time I try to use it it keeps taking me out and it keeps removing my account

### 4/5 — Works

*2025-06-10*

For the most part it does work, but there’s a certain glitch, for when you pick out certain afsc’s you qualify under the career tab, it glitches out

### 1/5 — Can’t do anything

*2025-04-03, version 1.123.0*

MFA is broken so you can’t great an account or do anything

### 1/5 — Disgraceful

*2025-03-21, version 1.123.0*

What a disgrace that our Air Force is being represented so poorly with an app that glitches out after a week of use and cannot be fixed. Do better!

### 1/5 — App Not Working

*2025-03-21, version 1.123.0*

I wish the developers were reading these reviews. Clearly the app is not working! I would love to see my son's pictures as he is going through BMT!

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2025-03-20, version 1.123.0*

The app does not work. I have attempted to reload it several times and all I get are error messages. Terrible app!

### 1/5 — Error

*2025-03-20, version 1.123.0*

App keeps sending error messages and won’t allow me to access flight photos. Hoped it would be fixed by now but it’s been almost a week and still nothing.

### 1/5 — Error codes

*2025-03-20, version 1.123.0*

Having error codes and not bringing up BMT FLIGHT PICTURES And updates.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2025-03-19, version 1.123.0*

Doesn’t work.  Just error codes.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2025-03-19, version 1.123.0*

All it does is give error codes. Won’t load basic training info so I guess we won’t get to see anything our son is getting to do. Wish they’d fix it.

### 2/5 — Photos of BMT aren’t loading

*2025-03-19, version 1.123.0*

I’ve been trying to track my trainee and the app shows frequent error codes every time I open it. I hope this issue can be resolved because this is the only way to track our trainees and see their progress.

### 3/5 — App stopped working

*2025-03-18, version 1.123.0*

As soon as I load up the app it’s starts spamming every type of error and refuses to load any of the flights

### 3/5 — What’s with all the errors codes all of a sudden?

*2025-03-18, version 1.123.0*

I’ve had this app for just about a year with no problems, but now that my friend is at bmt it doesn’t want to work? I just to see the pictures!

### 1/5 — PLEASE FIX THE APP

*2025-03-18, version 1.123.0*

I’m getting a bunch of error notices and the app is not working at all for the last week. I’m looking forward to seeing my husband. Please fix this asap so we have access to seeing our Airmen.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Trash ngl

*2026-06-11, version 1.152.0*

Literally the worst app I’ve ever used. Takes forever to load pictures and sometimes just chooses not to load any. It will also show the dates of when new photos have come out but won’t show you the photos until days later. Huge pain to use this app. Took me an hour to look at 100 photos.

### 1/5 — Pics Don’t Load

*2026-05-23, version 1.150.0*

This app is so frustrating to use! If the pics come through at all they’re very fuzzy and you can’t see faces clearly. I’ve tried all the suggestions and I still can’t see the most recent pics of my son. Very disappointing.

### 1/5 — Fails to Load

*2026-05-09*

Currently in the DEP and we have to use this horrible app. It worked for maybe like 2 weeks, then it just showed “error failed to authorize” and didn’t show anything. I reinstalled and lo and behold, it takes forever for the buffer screen to go away, and I forgot my password and the way to fix it is for them to send you a temporary password, rather than just sending a link to reset it. Who in their right mind thought this was a genius idea? Combine that with the chance it doesn’t even give you a temp password because it gives an error message. Don’t even bother with messaging support, they won’t help.

### 1/5 — Dear Developers, this app is BROKEN.

*2026-04-08, version 1.147.0*

Trying to login is a chore. I’ll create an account, save the login details to my phone, and then receive an “invalid password” error message when autofilling with the very credentials I just created. They email you a verification code, but there’s no prompt that asks for it in the app while creating your account. Then, rinse and repeat (I went through this loop three times before finally giving up)….either fix this useless app or remove it from the App Store altogether. I’m not normally the type who sits down and writes a review, but this app pushed me to my limit so here ya go! :)

### 1/5 — Over Promises & Under Delivers

*2026-02-28, version 1.146.0*

Like most Air Force apps this one describes capabilities that either don’t exist or aren’t utilized. I don’t know what company the Air Force pays for these apps but guess it’s cost tax payers millions. You can add your Airman’s flight and then get generic information and generic pictures that aren’t from their flight. BMTs official Facebook page is a better resource.

### 1/5 — Won’t allow me to add my bmt date

*2025-11-22, version 1.141.0*

Tried so many times to add my bmt date to start the countdown but it keeps on giving me errors regardless of how many times I install/uninstall

### 1/5 — Literally the slowest app I know

*2025-11-06, version 1.139.0*

Haven’t been able to pictures of my bfs flight for an entire week. They literally just WONT load. I’ve done everything. I’ve reinstalled and uninstalled. I checked for updates. I opened and closed the app. The app LITERALLY won’t let me see the pictures from the past week.

### 1/5 — Won’t let me make an account

*2025-10-19, version 1.137.0*

Each time I try and it send me a verification code I don’t get the first one so I resend it. After I receive and enter the second code I get an error saying it’s a invalid code.

### 1/5 — Career section fails?

*2025-09-20, version 1.134.0*

Whenever I save or favorite my jobs to review them later, it disappears. 

It also says a customized list of careers based on my interests and qualifications will appear there once my recruiter confirms my ASVAB scores but he says he doesn’t know how to do that and nothing shows up on his end to confirm my scores. does this app really work ?

### 1/5 — App Crashing

*2025-08-01, version 1.131.2*

Just updated. Now every time I go to open the app it immediately crashes. Cant even make it to the login screen

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — Love the 14 week workout

*2025-11-06*

I recommend this to all future airmen. The workout on here is good, memory work also  puts you ahead of schedule.

### 5/5 — Please add Reactions to Messages

*2024-10-22*

So far I am enjoying the app and have benefited from it. The one thing I would suggest is to please allow reactions to DEP group messages, such as a thumbs up or down on the message itself like on iMessages.

### 5/5 — Start Your Career Today!

*2023-12-27, version 1.72.0*

This is the perfect app to help start your career in the US Air Force. Use this app to find a recruiter, get important information, and prep for basic military training!

### 5/5 — Flight search is fixed!

*2022-10-14*

Update: I can finally search for my son’s flight. Thank you for fixing this issue!

Unable to search for my son’s flight. I’m able to type in the number but there’s no search button or list of flights to choose from. This is the only reason why I downloaded this app so it’s not useful to me

### 5/5 — Application works great

*2022-08-31*

My experience with this app has been nothing but good. Provided the app is updated frequently when the store pushes updates, I can see photos of BMT and access other sites regarding Air National Guard, Reserves, and Space Force.

### 5/5 — Thank You  SALUTE

*2021-05-31, version 1.18.2*

Thank you, from me and my family! You have served, prepared and strategized since before I existed. I will do whatever I can to assist! I know I am disabled. I thank you for using YOU to protect many like ME 💜

**Developer response:** Thank you for your positive support, Darshelle! We're glad that you are enjoying the application and appreciate your positive feedback.

### 5/5 — great app

*2021-02-22, version 1.12.2*

very helpful tools before entering BMT.

### 5/5 — Air Force Recruiter

*2020-09-17*

I’m amazed to say the least. I’m an Air Force reserve recruiter, I do forget sometimes. I tell all my applicants to download this app whether they decide to join or not because it has so much great information. I really wish they had something like this sooner but I’m glad it’s out now. I love the videos, the pictures and the information.

**Developer response:** That's great to hear! Thank you for the awesome review. We're glad that you're able to make use of all the great resources that the app has to offer!

### 5/5 — Best USAF All-purpose app I’ve seen.

*2020-06-13*

There’s just one issue I’ve spotted: in the packing for BMT section of the app, it is impossible to be more than 59% packed due to the “Air Force Provided Items” and “Suggested Items to Purchase at BMT” sections. These items, while checked off, are not counted in the total amount. This should be changed so that either they are checked off on the list, or they do not count as a part of the list.

I understand that this is a new app, and there are a bunch of patch updates to be made. This is one of the ones I’d like to see first. 

Besides that one issue, I would like to let the developers know that this is my favorite AF app by far. The UI is excellent, and it is so easy to find the information I want! Great job, and Aim High!

**Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback and for using Aim High! We appreciate your input very much, and understand this issue and have worked to get it resolved. As of right now this issue should be taken care of in the current version of the application. Thank you again for taking the time to help us get this issue taken care of and for your positive feedback!

### 4/5 — My review.

*2025-10-08*

I personally enjoy using the Aim High Air Force app because it makes preparing for the air force much more clear to me. I can use it to see qualifications, workout plans, and specific details about the air force that could otherwise be difficult to locate through research alone. The Aim High app makes all of this possible. 4/5 Stars.
