App caused Issue with pay
With the CANFORGEN 054/23 post I’m running into pay issues.
Crashes and bugs
It would probably be a good idea to update the app and fix all the bugs! Because there’s a lot of them!
Useful app
This app provides all the information you need about the Canadian Forces.
Interface Updates Needed
I read through some of the reviews, and I completely agree with them! The interface needs some heavy reworking, and the CAF needs to hire a UX/UI designer and a swift programmer badly. While the info is all there, the app does NOT make browsing or finding info a friendly experience. Heavily used items like CANFORGENS are hidden in menus. And when you do get to them, instead of opening within the app (like an in-app browser) they open via safari, which is not user friendly.
Although updates during COVID have been more frequent, before that this app was an often forgotten task on some poor staffer at ADM(IM) or ADM(PA)‘s monthly task list.
To any generals reading this: this app is a KEY method of communications to CAF members. It is FAR more effective than passing information through the chain of command as we have discovered with Gen Vance’s weekly letters. CAF members finally feel like they’re being kept informed. Now PLEASE fix this app so that using it is not just useful, but functional and enjoyable as well from a user interface design perspective! It is not something you can just push aside saying “the info is there, why does design matter?”

Really odd interface
It gives access to lots of CAF info, but it abides by the military “orders about orders” philosophy.
When you tap on an item of interest, instead of linking directly to that item, it may instead provide you with written instructions on how to access that item elsewhere in the app.
It will tell you there are new items, but tapping on the badge does nothing, and you have to hunt through the menus to find the info.
Many things, when you find them, are just links, even things like CANFORGENs, so using it results in lots of windows on your browser, and you might think you had information in the app, but unless you have wifi or data, you don’t.
