TERRIBLE

The idea of the app is better than the actual app. Very terribly slow government made fecal effluence. If you know what ippsa is, this is the maintenance version. TRASH.

Hot Garbage

My biggest issue with this is the fact that it is extremely difficult to upload the manuals I’m trying to use. Either it never responds to you pressing on the TM you want uploaded or it does attempt only for it to crash. Another issue is the updates. Even with Cac certification on it doesn’t seem to want to update at all. I give it 1 star for at least being able to open up any TM when it wants to

It buffering too long

It buffered and it exit from app every time

This is good BUT

As for my employment I used IADS a lot. When I saw they put it on mobile I was hyped up, BUT it a lot of times can’t load pictures for my technical manual on it. On top of that it does not get the updates for my manual that my laptop does. Just today I was in my manual on my phone and I go to my laptop and a bunch of steps were updated and removed.

Therefore two fix’s need to be made

1.) Make all media be able to be viewed (pictures etc.)

2.) Have this app be connected to whatever sever it’s on so my TMs can stay up to date

If needed to help with revision on the app here is my email
