### 1/5 — DOES NOT WORK

*2019-11-06*

Horrible app. I downloaded the app but it does not work.  As someone already mentioned, it keeps flashing like it opened, however, it does not come on.  In other words, it flashes but then goes back to the home screen on your device.  This would be a great resource but right it is not.  Can you fix it??

**Developer response:** Hi,

We're sorry for the inconvenience. A new version 1.1 of the app has been published. Can you please try to install the app again and let us know if you are still having this issue? 

Thank you.

### 1/5 — Same as all mentioned

*2019-10-11, version 1.0*

App won’t open flashes then to home screen it goes

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work on my iPhone 6

*2019-10-07, version 1.0*

It just flashes and goes off

### 1/5 — Not working.

*2019-09-13*

I thought it was my iPhone, so i tried the iPad and same thing.  The app flashes a splash screen and the closes.  Not running at all. Is NAVFAC interested in fixing this?  For what I hear, it was a great tool when it worked.

### 1/5 — But why

*2019-09-13*

Why is this app still broken? When is it going to be fixed? Is it going to be fix?

### 1/5 — Please fix!!!

*2019-09-12, version 1.0*

Crushes instantly. It can not even open

### 1/5 — Crashes at opening

*2019-08-07*

Never even got to the bad navigation part, the app never opened for me. Disappointing as this would be an worth while app for anyone doing construction on a government project. I seriously hope the app builders fix it.

### 1/5 — Em385

*2019-06-27, version 1.0*

Awful app crashes every time I attempt to open it I gave it 1 star because zero was not a option

### 1/5 — Won’t open

*2019-06-27*

iPhone X with latest update.
When touched, the app flashes on the screen and then right back to home screen. Inoperable....
Let’s get this fixed! The EM is a very important document that we ALL need from time to time. 

Your court IT.....

### 1/5 — doesn’t work on iPhone

### 5/5 — APP works Great

*2019-11-21, version 1.1*

Excellent job,  the Army Corp fixed the EM 385 -1-1 App as soon as they learned the App was having problems. Thank you very much. Great job!!

### 5/5 — Great resource of digital safety information

*2018-08-06*

Great resource of information when in the field and the office.  When working overseas, I use this manual most of time while in the field, to ensure the contractor SSHO understand what I am trying to communicate.

### 5/5 — Director, Safety and Occupational Health

*2015-11-18*

Just what I've been waiting for!

### 3/5 — Could be a useful APP

*2021-03-30*

As an SSHO this app could be super useful in the field. But navigating through the pages is a chore. When you reach the end of a section the app prompts you to use the arrows below to go to the next section. There are no arrows. So, you have to go back to the table of contents, scroll down until you find the next section, then open it up. How hard is it just to program in pages that you can just swipe through the pages.

### 3/5 — Safety & Health Advisor

*2015-11-26*

Nice app, but as mentioned previously by another reviewer, more work needs to be done. In addition to the irritating message and having to press the forward button (some times more than once) in order to advance, the bookmark only closes the app. Still beats having to take this huge document around, and even navigating through the paper version.

### 2/5 — Useless App

*2019-12-03*

The app used to be functional and very helpful. Yet, upon a recent update, the app has become useless. You can no longer access forms, figures, definitions, some of the appendices, etc.

### 2/5 — Cannot open

*2019-03-07*

Force close and won’t open. Kinda useless at this point . It’s an excellent app if it would work!! Please help get this back up and running!

### 2/5 — Crash and burn

*2018-04-18, version 1.0*

Downloaded the app to reference a regulation. Press to open and the app starts but goes back to it’s icon

### 2/5 — App will not work

*2018-03-15, version 1.0*

App with force close upon opening app. Does anyone have a work around?

### 2/5 — Navigation

*2018-02-20*

I do not have the option to navigate to the next page using the arrows at the bottom as indicated in the picture above
