### 2/5 — Almost Useless

*2020-03-08, version 1.0.1*

The quiz questions have COMPLETELY WRONG ANSWERS. The only thing this is good for is the audiobook portion—but even that misses the mark. Excellence in all we do? Not so much with this app. I honestly cannot believe this was advertised on the AF Portal.

### 1/5 — This will not help you study

*2020-01-27, version 1.0.1*

App is full of questions like the following TRUE example:
Which of the following is NOT a branch of the United States Armed Forces?
A) SMSgt
B)TSgt
C) MSgt
D) Department of Defense

Yeah, no all of the above answer. This app is full of these questions, don’t even bother with it.

### 2/5 — Good idea, needs work!

*2020-01-08, version 1.0.1*

I started to use this to help study and my favorite part was the audio book. I personally hate reading and loose focus easy so this feature helped.... Well until the app always said I had no internet connection and wouldn’t play the files.  The practice test need work and are no better then Quizlets, so you end up with 3/4 answers that are not even in the same subject.

### 2/5 — Audio Does Not Work

*2020-01-07, version 1.0.1*

Decent premise, however audio portion will not download or work on iPhone 11.

### 1/5 — HAS WRONG Answers!!!!!

*2019-12-08, version 1.0.1*

It has the wrong answer built into it. Just keep reading other reviews

### 2/5 — Audio

*2019-12-02, version 1.0.1*

Audio doesn’t play on iPhone 11 Pro

### 2/5 — Practice test

*2019-11-04, version 1.0.1*

Practice test do not make sense, it will ask you a question unrelated to the chapter and have answers unrelated to the question itself. Needs some fixing.

### 1/5 — Questions with wrong answers

*2019-10-31, version 1.0.1*

Practice questions have wrong answers and games have wrong answers. Hopefully this gets fixed soon.

### 2/5 — Wrong flash card answers

*2019-10-02, version 1.0*

For testing to Technical Sergeant the flash cards are not aligned to the study guide and I have found some wrong answers that are different than the study guide.

### 1/5 — Audio does not work

*2022-02-08, version 1.0.3*

I downloaded this app to utilize for the Audio and I am connected to WiFi at home. It will not download. Resolve the issue and I will give it a better rating review!

### 1/5 — App doesn’t work

*2022-01-17, version 1.0.3*

Simply doesn’t work after downloading and installing

### 1/5 — Incorrect Answers

*2021-03-04, version 1.0.2*

Is this a set up? Ridiculous number of incorrect answers. This, amongst abundance of other issues, make it very clear that this company rushed the app out to get their government payout. Pathetic.

### 1/5 — Errors

*2020-11-20, version 1.0.2*

Audio book chapters do not follow the same table of context as the book. Chapter 5 emergency management is chapter 17 in the audio book. Then goes ahead and doesn’t even follow the text.

### 1/5 — Audio files don’t work

*2020-07-10, version 1.0.1*

Audio files don’t work .disappointed.

### 1/5 — Download troubles

*2020-06-25, version 1.0.1*

The app is not letting me download any of the audio when I have internet. It states I don’t have a connection.

### 1/5 — Wrong Info

*2020-06-10, version 1.0.1*

The study aids (flash cards, etc.) have the wrong answers.

### 1/5 — Incorrect content and unusable features

*2020-04-12, version 1.0.1*

I find it alarming that this app has been recommended by official channels as a reliable study resource for our Airmen. I’ve found numerous incorrect content on the flash cards, which is most concerning. Additionally, some of the features that would make the app less frustrating and potentially live up to its boast of ease, do not work (I.e. the audiobook feature and Offline function). I do not recommend any Airmen download or rely on this app for such an important task. It’s a little money out of the pocket but I’ve gone and purchased the mcmillian study guide app. The difference is astounding and comforting. Don’t waste your time and feed your anxiety or frustration with this one guys.  The cost of a more trustworthy app is well worth it.

### 1/5 — Trash

*2020-03-03, version 1.0.1*

Practice test questions and answers don’t make sense

### 1/5 — Good enough for government work?

*2020-02-26, version 1.0.1*

If you have spent more than a few years in the AF you’ll know that almost everything you are a part of will have things that don’t go the way they are supposed to. This is no exception. I don’t know who edits and corrects this app, but there are many wrong answers that the app identifies as correct. I can’t figure out how the flash card part works. Questions are worded in an odd manner, not referring to specific ideas. I’d pay the $50 for the McMillan app before using this again. If you just want the literature, sure, it works. If you want games and flash cards, I would recommend anything else.

### 5/5 — The GOAT of Study Apps

*2019-10-08, version 1.0*

This is a fantastic app with a fantastic price tag.

### 5/5 — App Design

*2019-10-06, version 1.0*

I like the way Ch. 1, 5, and 10 are excluded from the study features being that it is not testable. Helps me focus on just the things that are important to my study preparation.

### 4/5 — Missing study questions

*2019-09-29, version 1.0*

Why are there no flashcards or practice tests in Chapters 1, 5, or 10?

### 3/5 — Incorrect answers

*2020-02-26, version 1.0.1*

Several questions had incorrect answers. Also after finishing the game I never received my performance stats.

### 3/5 — UI Features Needed

*2019-12-02, version 1.0.1*

As this is the only non-PDF ebook option for the AFH 1, it would be great to see features like hiding the navigation bars while reading. Also being able to adjust the font size.

### 3/5 — Wrong answers

*2019-10-08, version 1.0*

I like the concept of this, but it could be better. 

I was studying using the game option. I noticed some of the answers are incorrect. For example: the question is “which of the following is NOT a risk factor in suicide?”

Correct answer should be “increase in communication” but it says it’s wrong and that the correct answer is “relationship difficulties.”

Can you add a way to submit incorrect information? Please and thank you. 

Also, Chapter 17E is not on the TSgt testing handbook online, but it is on the study guide in the app. Are we or are we not testing?

### 2/5 — The audio book is all wrong

*2020-12-12, version 1.0.2*

All the chapters are mixed up on the audio book now and it is using old material from 2017, Not the 2019 version PDG. Last year it was accurate and this cycle it’s not.

### 2/5 — Error in audio book

*2020-11-13, version 1.0.2*

I keep getting an error when trying to add sections of the audio book. It states I need to be connected to internet. Tried WiFi and cell service. Tried different locations. It’s not all the sections but of course are some that I need based on the testing chart.

### 2/5 — Please fix!

*2020-05-28, version 1.0.1*

Refuses to let me download the audio guide...  the whole “convenient” point as to WHY I got the app in the first place!  Extremely frustrating!

### 2/5 — Errors

*2020-05-17, version 1.0.1*

The app is great for providing a quick location to access all the information required for studying to make rank which is great; however, I’ve run into the issue where none of the audiobooks will allow me to download them or listen to them at all for that matter. I’ve also noticed that in the self-test feature an alarming amount of the questions answered that are marked wrong are in fact correct. I’ve cross referenced several questions like this that I felt were absolutely correct and they in fact were, yet they were marked as wrong. This is frustrating when you are trying to gauge how well you comprehend the material and are unable to trust whether any of what you answered correctly actually is correct and vise-versa. 

Otherwise though very convenient and nice app to have, but it would be great if the errors were remedied.
