### 3/5 — Keeping it current would be great!

*2017-01-25, version 1.3.1*

As it is, I use it for locating sections and memorizing them.  It would be nice if the content was updated and could be used to its fullest potential. There is a need.  Thanks for trying.

### 3/5 — This app could be better

*2015-07-18, version 1.3.1*

This app has potential, but it has some flaws. If you expect users to use this app as a FAR reference, it needs to be updated past 2011. I believe the most recent FAR update was Dec 2014?? Also, I tried to 'favorite' specified subsections and the link created in the favorites section seem to always take you back to FAR part 1. Unfortunately, I'll just continue to use my hard copy until this app gets better.

### 1/5 — The ad placement makes this unusable.

*2012-06-23, version 1.3*

I understand that you need ads but the placement of these ads makes the program unusable. 

I'd imagine that people are going to use this program the same way I do- as a quick search reference in the field or a meeting.

You can't search because the ads cover up the search pane.

### 3/5 — FAR Part 10

*2012-06-07, version 1.3*

Where did FAR Part 10 go?! It jumps straight from 9.7 to 11.  I think that's a pretty big chunk of the FAR missing...especially when you're in a meeting and need to check your facts!  Please fix!

### 4/5 — iPad

*2012-05-27, version 1.2*

Need to make it work for the iPad!

### 1/5 — Doesn't work on iPad

*2012-02-15, version 1.2*

App doesn't open on iPad although the description says it's compatible!!!!!!!!!! Why????????

### 2/5 — It's okay for free

*2011-09-11, version 1.2*

It's def not updated like other reviewers have stated, but it's not as outdated as 2005. The developer should update the title screen to reflect which version you are actually viewing.

Part 52 worked for me EXCEPT the FAR matrix.

Can't figure out how to bookmark. The ads are slightly annoying, but expected for a free app.

### 4/5 — Updated....current and overall not bad.....but

*2011-08-05, version 1.2*

Current except that the intro screen says 2005 still.  The search function is a little strange as it will search for a keyword but not a particular reference. Also, when you click on a specific reference it does not take you right to it, you have to scroll...then scroll some more. Obviously not bad for free, but I would pay $5 if these areas were refined and a little more for no ads, but the ads are not bad.

### 5/5 — Looks like they fixed the crashing

*2011-04-18, version 1.2*

Looks nice!  Good job.  Update adds ads, but considering the $30 alternative I'll take the ads.

### 1/5 — Please update!

*2010-11-08, version 0*

As the other reviewers have mentioned, the app crashes every time one attempts to read the FAR. Please update this app to prevent all the crashes; it has such great potential!
