### 4/5 — Useful App!!

*2012-11-21*

As a handheld reference tool this app provides the basic references of systems engineering. If further details are required there are plenty of other reference materials to go to. 

Nice job!

### 1/5 — An ok app...

*2012-11-14*

Not a whole to this

**Developer response:** In the six years since this review was written, the app has become iOS native and a lot more content has been added. Soon, we will be adding guidance on model-based systems engineering. We encourage this user to update their review based on the 2018 version of the app, not the 2012 version.

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2012-09-02*

Thanks! This is just what I need!

### 1/5 — Nice try but

*2012-08-24*

The detail on this app is not significantly thorough enough for this to really be considered a decent guide.  I would have expected a lot more detail within the acquisition framework based on the key areas of program management.  SETR encompasses a lot and it's just not here.
