### 2/5 — Old version was great.   New version is terrible

*2026-08-16*

I have always appreciated this app, and am grateful to the folks at USCCA for all that they do to support our community.     The old app was very clear and accurate.    This new update makes it almost useless, as the reciprocity map is wildly inaccurate and when you click back and forth between states, the info changes each time.    I really like the whole country view of the old app.

### 4/5 — 5stars if software ran more smoothly

*2026-08-01*

This app is a must have for any lawful gun owner. The janky loading and overall software seem like they’d benefit from some revision. Everything is quite slow and training videos hardly ever load

**Developer response:** Thank you for the feedback and for recognizing the value the app can provide. We’re sorry the slow loading and training video issues are getting in the way of that experience. Please contact our Member Services team at (800) 674-9779 and share your device model, operating system version, and whether the videos fail on Wi-Fi, cellular data, or both. Those details will help our app team investigate the performance issues more effectively.

### 2/5 — Still Flawed

*2026-07-27*

I currently have Concealed Carry License for Washington (Resident) and Oregon (Non-Resident) but the current USCCA Reciprocity Maps show that I cannot conceal carry and all restrictions for Oregon. I’m not sure if I can trust your Reciprocity Maps for accuracy.  iPhone 16 ProMax iOS 26.6

**Developer response:** We're sorry to hear about your experience. Accurate reciprocity information is incredibly important, and we understand why this would affect your confidence in the app. Thank you for including your permit details and device information. Please give our Member Services team a call at (800) 674-9779 so we can gather any additional information, investigate the Oregon reciprocity issue, and ensure it is shared with our app team. We appreciate you bringing this to our attention and helping us improve the experience.

### 2/5 — Useful App, Very Annoying Login

*2026-07-18, version 2.0.26*

It’s a good app for information and easy to use. But for the love of God, please allow easier logins. Allow the use of a Passkey or allow the app to stay logged in for 90+ days. If I log in and then close the app for longer than an hour, I have to type in my email and password again. And worse yet, the login screen doesn’t allow my phone to auto input my saved credentials. Have to type it every time. And cherry on top is the app sends me a MFA code to my EMAIL instead of my phone so I have to switch apps to check the passcode. 

Useful app, but tons of friction in trying to even get started using it.

### 3/5 — Log In Issue

*2026-07-09*

Got this app couple days ago. Wonderful app, lots of knowledge in the palm of my hands. The only issue I have and that I’ve noticed is that for some reason I log in. Couple days later I’m logged out of it. This has happened to me 5 times now. It’s honestly really annoying and frustrating on why I can’t stay logged in and not go through the verification process over and over again.

**Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback, and we're glad you're enjoying the app and its educational content. We're sorry to hear you're repeatedly being logged out. That isn't the experience we want for our users. We'd like to investigate what's causing this. Please contact our Member Services team at (800) 674-9779 and let us know what type of device you're using, your operating system version, and whether you're being logged out after a certain amount of time or following a specific action. That information will help us reproduce the issue and share it with our app team for further investigation.

### 2/5 — Location

*2026-07-08*

This app is a huge battery drain when using location services and will not stay logged in.

**Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback. We're sorry to hear you've experienced excessive battery usage and repeated login issues. We understand how frustrating both can be. We'd like to investigate what's happening. Please contact our Member Services team at (800) 674-9779 and let us know what type of device you're using, your operating system version, and whether the battery drain occurs only while using location services or even when the app is running in the background. We'll share those details with our app team so they can investigate both the battery usage and login behavior.

### 4/5 — Please Fix

*2026-06-05*

The app is not easy to read. The gun if the day is never the same as on the website.

**Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback. We're sorry to hear the app hasn't met your expectations. We'd like to learn more about the readability concerns and the Gun of the Day not matching the website. Please give our Member Services team a call at (800) 674-9779 so we can investigate and share your feedback with our development team.

### 2/5 — Click this button to get your free account…

*2026-05-23*

… $39 a month. That ain’t a free account. If you don’t do it you get battered with things telling you about all the wonderful things you’re missing. 

All I want is to know where I can carry and the old app did that without selling me a $39 a month subscription.

**Developer response:** We're sorry for the frustration. The Reciprocity Map is free and available with a free account. Membership unlocks additional training, tools, and benefits. If you're having trouble accessing the map or have questions about what's included, please give our Member Services team a call at (800) 674-9779.

### 2/5 — FIX IT

*2026-05-14*

This app is going to get someone locked up if they don’t fix this issue, I created an account then put my CPL state info in and it seemed to be working as I scrolled to various states it would show a green check or a red X indicating whether or not you had reciprocity in that state or not but the problem is when you click on a state where you can’t carry and then hit the back arrow the red X then turns into a green check as if it has been updated so not it looks as if you have reciprocity there.

**Developer response:** We're sorry to hear about your experience. Accurate reciprocity information is incredibly important, and we appreciate you bringing this to our attention. Please give our Member Services team a call at (800) 674-9779 so we can gather details about your device and investigate what you're seeing. We want to help get this resolved as quickly as possible.

### 4/5 — Reciprocity with multiple permits

*2026-05-08*

Overall, the app works nicely. 
However, I have multiple permits and  the app has a hard time understanding which states I can legally carry in and which ones I cannot. For example, it pretty much only focuses on my residential permit and not my nonresident permits- so It will tell me I cannot carry in a state that I have a Non resident permit listed in the app.

**Developer response:** Thank you for the detailed feedback. We’re glad the app is working well overall, but we understand why incorrect reciprocity results when multiple resident and non-resident permits are added would be concerning. Please call our Member Services team at (800) 674-9779 and share which permits and states are being displayed incorrectly so we can document the issue and provide those details to our app team for investigation.

### 3/5 — Not complete

*2026-05-01*

Seems like everything is there except pricing. I feel like it’s hidden on purpose. I can find everything but the costs and renewal costs of each level. With that in mind, I’ll not upgrade from current level.

**Developer response:** Thank you for the honest feedback. We understand why not being able to easily find current membership and renewal pricing would make the upgrade process feel unclear or frustrating. Pricing should be straightforward and easy to understand when you’re comparing membership levels. Please call our Member Services team at (800) 674-9779 so we can review the available options with you, and we’ll also share your feedback about pricing visibility with our team.

### 2/5 — Carry Map Incorrect

*2026-04-30*

After inputting my carry permits, the app tells me I cannot carry in those states. And when I click around it sometimes shows that I can carry and then reverts back to not being able to carry. So there is a problem with version 2.0.11 displaying the proper carry permissions.

**Developer response:** David, thank you for providing these specific details, including the app version. Accurate and consistent carry information is incredibly important, and we understand why seeing conflicting results for permits you’ve already entered would be concerning. Please call our Member Services team at (800) 674-9779 and share which resident and/or non-resident permits are affected so we can document the issue with version 2.0.11 and provide the details to our app team for investigation.

### 2/5 — Location not right

*2026-04-27*

Location tracking for CCW not working. Example it showing me in Nd.  When in fact I am in UT.

**Developer response:** Thank you for reporting this. We understand how frustrating it is for the CCW feature to show North Dakota when you’re actually in Utah, especially when accurate location information is important to the experience. Please call our Member Services team at (800) 674-9779 and share your device type, operating system, and app version so we can document the issue and provide those details to our app team for investigation.

### 1/5 — Instantly caused Respring

*2026-04-15*

After I installed this, my phone began having the Respring issue. Uninstalled it, and the Respring issue went away. 

I don’t want to have to do that, but phone was constantly respringing.

**Developer response:** Thank you for bringing this to our attention. We’re sorry to hear about the trouble you experienced after installing the app. We recently released an update with improvements and fixes, and we encourage you to give the latest version a try to see if the issue has been resolved. We appreciate your feedback.

### 1/5 — Horrible

*2025-11-13, version 1.7.1*

I can't even create an account it just keeps freezing or exiting the app

### 1/5 — Great company bad app

*2025-02-01, version 1.7.1*

Can’t log in. Reset and redownloaded app. Still says ttl does not match format y-m-d h I s

### 3/5 — NEED AN UPDATE

*2024-12-19, version 1.7.1*

Love the USCCA app, but it needs an update because it crashes every time I try to open it.

### 3/5 — Now we walk backwards

*2023-08-31*

The company has a lot of potential including all great features that comes with  the membership, but one of the greatest features that used to attract members including myself was having a digital card that could be added to your apple wallet when you owns a iPhone you were able to have access to your digital card instead of a piece a paper that they want you to print out now and put it on your physical wallet where potentially could get destroyed that sounds crazy and make us feel like we going backwards in progress.

 instead of getting better, I’m sorry but by you guys removing the access of some type of features that you started and became successful with it not only it sounds unfair but also a doesn’t make sense having a business sometimes requires some type of obligation with customers.

**Developer response:** Thank you for taking the time to leave a review! I will be sure to pass your feedback along to the correct team to consider as they bring out updates and changes in the future. 

While you can print off a temporary paper version of your member ID card, you should have received a plastic card to keep with you that would be able to handle more wear and tear. If you have not received that, please contact us so that we can help you out and ensure you receive your proper card. You can call us. 24/7 at 877-677-1919 or you can live chat with us directly from our website!

### 1/5 — Membership is not free

*2026-08-24*

You can’t use anything on the app without a membership that you have to pay for

### 1/5 — Incorrect Reciprocity Information

*2026-07-28*

Getting ready for a trip and went to check reciprocity. The old app pointed me to install this new app. I downloaded and come to find out it says I can carry in NY and I CANNOT. This was brought up to support on 7/22 and the issue is still not fixed as of 7/28. This is extremely concerning and I recommend sticking with the old application as that is still showing the correct information.

**Developer response:** We're very sorry to hear about your experience. Accurate reciprocity information is incredibly important, and we understand why this would be concerning. Thank you for bringing this to our attention and for reporting it to our support team. We recognize your frustration that the issue has not yet been resolved. Please give our Member Services team a call at (800) 674-9779 so we can gather any additional details, investigate further, and ensure the information is shared with our app team. We appreciate your feedback as we continue improving the app.

### 1/5 — iPad locked up

*2026-07-24*

Loaded the version that came out three weeks ago and it locks up every time from the beginning.  App works fine on iPhone, but crashes on ipad

**Developer response:** We're sorry to hear you're having trouble with the app on your iPad. That isn't the experience we want for our users. Thank you for letting us know the issue appears to be isolated to your iPad. Please give our Member Services team a call at (800) 674-9779 so we can gather additional details about your iPad model, iPadOS version, and the behavior you're seeing. We'll make sure the information is shared with our app team so they can investigate further.

### 1/5 — Useless at this point

*2026-07-22*

Freezes up at “Location based alerts” page. Won’t budge.

**Developer response:** We're sorry you're experiencing this issue. Freezing on the "Location Based Alerts" page is not the experience we want for our users. Please give our Member Services team a call at (800) 674-9779 so we can gather details about your device, iOS version, and what happens when the app freezes. We'll make sure the information is shared with our app team so they can investigate and work toward a resolution.

### 1/5 — App doesn’t work

*2026-07-17*

When I log in it has a message for notification alerts for CCW and will not clear. The app is then locked up and not usable. I’ve deleted and reinstalled twice , when I log in , same result.

### 1/5 — Cumbersome

*2026-07-16*

Good grief this is 100 times worse than the old app. This new one is a pain to navigate, puts flash over function and scatters the information all over the place rather one cohesive intuitive spot. Disappointing. Glad I saved the old one. I’ll use it till it no longer works then find an alternative.

### 1/5 — Useless

*2026-07-12, version 2.0.26*

Can not see where to enter account authorization with the code, they send you to verify you.

### 1/5 — This app is terrible

*2026-06-06*

Whoever designed it needs to find a new career. Beyond the terrible UX, the actual info is wrong. I have NYC and PA CCW yet it says I can’t carry in NY or PA. The old app seemed to work ok. I don’t know how or why they screwed it up so badly.

**Developer response:** We're sorry to hear about your experience. Accurate reciprocity information is incredibly important, and this isn't the experience we want. Please give our Member Services team a call at (800) 674-9779 so we can gather details about your permits, investigate the issue, and help get this resolved.

### 1/5 — Bad info

*2026-06-04*

A lot of this info is out of date

**Developer response:** Thank you for bringing this to our attention. We understand how important it is for app information to be accurate and current. Please give our Member Services team a call at (800) 674-9779 so we can gather details on what appears outdated and get it reviewed.

### 1/5 — You do know it’s 2026…. Right?

*2026-05-04*

And your app still doesn’t rotate to landscape? I’d say at least a 1/3 of your insurers are old and have bifocals…..
Rotating to landscape enlarges the picture without having to zoom in  and zoom out constantly….
I mean you are a multi-billion dollar company…..
Maybe take a few bucks off the CEO’s salary to fix it!

**Developer response:** Thank you for the candid feedback. We understand how landscape support could make the app easier to read and navigate, especially for members who rely on larger text and visuals. Accessibility and usability matter, and we appreciate you taking the time to explain how this feature would improve your experience. We’ll make sure your request for landscape orientation is shared with our app team for consideration.

Awesome highly recommended it

### 5/5 — Good Information

*2025-01-08, version 1.7.1*

Very informative app, touches on multiple firearm issues and updated news. If you own a firearm this is a must have app.

### 5/5 — 10/10 from RedBeard

*2022-12-28, version 1.6.1*

Well, if I’m being honest, I would say that I love USCCA from originally just being an insurance holder, to being an RSO certified underneath of you, and then a USCCA instructor. But it goes much deeper than that because anytime I needed something you guys answered,  anytime that I’ve had an issue we resolved it, and I’ll always recommend you to anyone, anytime, everywhere that I go! ❤️💯🙏 - RedBeardGunz

### 5/5 — Great!!

*2022-01-26, version 1.5.7*

Love being able to access my CCM and other reading materials on the app. It lets me check on my account and my membership information very easily.

### 5/5 — NRA

*2021-12-11, version 1.5.5*

Keeps me informed about the truth of the so -called anti gun bums/idiots!!👻.  Know the unbiased truth thru The NRA & the USCCA.  Learn how to operate, maintain, protect yourself before, due, & especially AFTER an incident.  Get the legal protection if you have to use you weapon protecting yourself or your ❤️ ones !!!!!!

### 5/5 — Peace of Mind

*2021-11-24, version 1.5.5*

I want to tell all who carry how comfortable it feels to have USCCA insurance. My only complaint is the app which cannot update itself after recently renewing membership.
  I hope it works out soon..

### 5/5 — Easy reciprocity and laws check

*2021-11-07, version 1.5.5*

Haven’t used videos and stuff on the app, haven’t needed to, but great for quick checks while traveling

### 5/5 — Works

*2021-03-23, version 1.5.4*

Works fine on ipad mini

### 5/5 — Reciprocity map needs to be updated

*2021-03-08*

It need to be updated. I like the app and everything it stands for so I got it 5 stars you can’t give them enough credit for this but the app does need updating   The map doesent update and show the correct statesbut you can read the list just fine  just have to ready though which is fine I can read so it’s just a minor gripe.

### 5/5 — Fast access to great knowledge

*2020-12-14*

I really like this app. News feed are always a good fun short daily read that has helped me make several excellent decisions on a few purchase. Easy to find state laws and honored carry states. Concealed Carry Magazines are great for learning, finding everything you need for safe carrying, passing time or just destressing. My most used app.
