### 3/5 — Updates

*2021-02-19*

Needs to be updated to reflect newer/updated AFIs such as dress and appearance.

### 1/5 — Crap.

*2021-02-09*

Wont let you listen to anything think you’re not connected to the internet. Don’t waste your time. 

(iPhone 12)

### 1/5 — Waste of time

*2021-01-28*

There is literally no reason to download this app. The study guide isn’t broken down by rank, and there is nothing in the app telling you which sections you need to study. You’d be way better off downloading the handbook to your phone or computer and reading it there. That way, you’d only get what you need to study.

### 1/5 — Audiobook does not work

*2020-06-16*

Always says you need to be connected to internet and I am but it still doesn’t work

### 2/5 — Audio book

*2020-06-01*

Won’t let me read audio book, says I need to be connected to the internet and which I am.

### 1/5 — Unable to download audio

*2020-05-15*

the app continues to tell me I need to be connected to internet to download the audio. When i am most definitely connected to internet

### 1/5 — Update it

*2020-04-17*

Needs to be updated

### 1/5 — Incomplete

*2019-10-02*

Tried to read The Little Blue Book but it doesn’t even talk about the Profession of Arms or the Core Values.  This is why the Core Values are taken at face value.  They can’t read about the virtues for each.

### 5/5 — Anticipating the v2019

*2019-09-26*

I am looking forward to the new v2019 App and hoping that it encapsulates the experience of being a useful tool for all Airmen. Thank you
