### 1/5 — Doesn’t do anything

*2026-07-22, version 4.1.3*

I could just Google everything this app does. Waste of money. Waste of space on phone.

### 5/5 — Excellent CCW App

*2026-06-20, version 4.1.3*

This app is fantastic! Easy to navigate and find laws regarding CC laws, as well as states with reciprocity. It is constantly updated with all court cases, whether ongoing, or decided. Thank you for the great app!

### 1/5 — Recharged repeatedly

*2026-05-28, version 4.1.3*

No way to contact

### 5/5 — Cheapest “ensurance” I can buy

*2026-05-21, version 4.1.3*

OK, so it’s not insurance but rather information that ensures I have the latest data. Extremely useful when it comes to interstate travel. Simply cannot go wrong for such a low cost investment.

### 5/5 — CCW 5 star review

*2026-05-14, version 4.1.3*

I travel through several states between Arizona and Illinois. Before I make the trip each time I review each state in CCW. Their information is always accurate and updated. I have confidence, for instance in Illinois, my concealed carry permit in Arizona gives me permission to carry my firearm loaded but only in my vehicle. Great app.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2026-04-20, version 4.1.3*

App has a lot of information that as gun owners we need to know. I did have one problem and Tech Support emailed me back. And solved the issue.

### 2/5 — Bad link - Colorado

*2026-04-15, version 4.1.3*

The link for Prohibited Places takes you to SAFE STORAGE info. I see no way to report issues. Hopefully developers read these comments

### 5/5 — Better safe than sorry

*2026-03-28, version 4.1.3*

When I travel I use CCW, and good judgment, to make sure I never have to see the inside of a cell.

### 5/5 — Informative/Helpful

*2026-03-15, version 4.1.3*

All the information I need is here in one place, for a quick reference!
This app is very helpful when I travel!

### 1/5 — Terrible UI, out-of-date info

*2026-02-28, version 4.1.3*

Terrible UI, is missing many of the latest law updates that the NRA and handgunlaws.us report.
