It was selected as one of the "Best Book Apps of 2012" by Kirkus Book Reviews, won the "Best App" award at the 2013 New Media Film Festival, and received the "Best Mobile Media Programming" Award of Merit from The Accolade Competition.

Every time I open this app it gives me another snippet or image that brings me into the world of movie-making. A gem just like the movie ### 5/5 — A must for any Modine AND Kubrick fan! *2020-02-13, version 1.22* I distinctly recall seeing FMJ in its original run, and it was my first Kubrick in-theater moviegoing experience. Experiencing Matthew’s journey through the making of Kubrick’s last masterpiece (I cannot count Eyes Wide Shut) is a work of multimedia art in its own right. ### 5/5 — What a find! *2019-11-10, version 1.22* I was listening to Modine on a podcast and he mentioned this app. So glad I remembered long enough to track it down. Worth five times the price. I absorbed it in one very long sitting. Now I have to find time to rewatch the film. Well done Matthew! ### 5/5 — Brilliant *2019-10-17, version 1.22* Rare to find an app unanimously loved, but this one is deserved of the praise. A brilliant journey. I’m actually grateful I was able to enjoy it. Thanks Modine and Rackoff! ### 5/5 — Work of art! *2019-09-07, version 1.22* There needs to be more apps like this - a work of art. ### 5/5 — Loved it *2014-07-11, version 1.15* Fascinating insight into a Kubrick production. Highly recommend for film enthusiasts ### 5/5 — Crazy amount of detail *2014-05-10, version 1.21* I’ve had this app for months and I am just now getting to a review. I should have done this sooner as I thoroughly enjoy paging through this app. You don’t have to be a Marine to appreciate it, but it sure does help! A serious trip for the cinephiles. FMJ is a staple movie for those in the service and Modine does the movie making process some severe justice. I am glad this exists in the world. Semper Fi. ### 5/5 — Love it. Must for Kubrick fans *2014-03-18, version 1.20* I'm a huge Kubrick fan so I'm loving all the insight and details Modine shares. Great pictures and hours of stories. Great app. ### 5/5 — Superb *2014-03-17, version 1.20* For film fans this is a real treat. A first hand, innovative account of filming Full Metal Jacket, packed with photographs and the actors own voice over. ### 4/5 — Very Cool! *2014-02-13, version 1.20* Must own for a Kubrick fan! ## Frequently asked questions about Full Metal Jacket Diary ### What is this app about?
