### 3/5 — UPDATES NEEDED

*2014-06-25*

Great app....but need to update the equipment a listed. Also, could you add so more information like: Route recon, Map Overlay, Forms relating to Recon & Overlays. 

This is a good beginning app for Engineers preparing for NCOES, but still missing the above items & a few more that I can't remember at this time.

### 1/5 — Cheap small content

*2013-08-23*

The application is very poorly built and is lacking in professionalism and is incomplete at best.  This is in no way a good resource to those who are actually in the Engineer regiment.  Maybe a good app for those who are not in the Army.
