### 4/5 — Great info but fix landscape

*2022-08-15, version 46*

Love the instruction you can get from these videos and the instructors that you get, but not being able to turn videos to landscape is a bummer. Hopefully you can fix that next update

### 4/5 — So far so good.

*2022-06-29, version 45*

Latest app refresh is much better. LET IT TURN SIDEWAYS PLEASE!!

### 2/5 — Dude you got problems

*2020-08-26, version 37*

DUDE !  Come on what I’m I paying for?  Go to any section click the red play now button and the app crashes.

### 4/5 — Great content but app could use some UI updates

*2020-04-30, version 34*

I ordered my subscription, downloaded the app, then installed. Upon launching for the first time I logged in and found a great assortment of videos to watch. Overall the content is great and its easy to get up and going. I deducted a star because of a few quirky and annoying usability issues. For example, if you are inside a course that has multiple videos there’s no progress noted so you have to go search for the right video in that particular course, and then find your place. Ideally, this would be designed similar to Netflix so when there are multiple videos in a course you can see progress for each one and start where you ended. A second issue is the sensitivity to timeout. If I pause a video, then step away for five minutes the course goes back to the beginning and I must dig through the videos to find where I finished. A third issue is the touch sensitivity when scrolling through the videos that make up a course. If you touch one to swipe left or right (which you must) it launches the video if your swipe isn’t perfect to the touch. Overall, great content with an app that could use some UI updates.

### 1/5 — Do not use in app purchases

*2017-11-20, version 9.3*

Do not renew subscription from the app, if for some reason it is on hold. I made that mistake and was charged by apple but it was not put towards my subscription.

### 1/5 — Amazing content, rubbish app.

*2017-10-28, version 8.5*

I have experienced problems with this application since day one. It does not support flipping orientation, and cuts off content when browsing videos in landscape.

Scrubbing forward or backwards in video often results in desynced audio. It does not preserve my last watched video, so if I stop part way through a playlist, I need to start from the beginning and figure out where I was.

The latest issue is that I cannot sign in, “my” email address and name are incorrect after logging in with my credentials so the app is unusable. Yet my credentials work perfectly on the web.

I’ll continue to subscribe, but I’ll use the web interface, this is rubbish.

### 1/5 — Slow, buggy, and no full screen

*2017-03-01, version 4.0*

My title says it all. Panteao is a great subscription, but the current version of the app is just buggy, slow, and no matter what you do, no full screen landscape on your phone. I've resorted to watching on my web browser.

### 3/5 — App issues but great response from Panteao

*2017-02-27, version 4.0*

After posting 1 star review.  I'm upping to 3.  I emailed panteao thru the contact us feature on website.  Within an hour I received an email from Fernando Coelho, President and CEO of Panteao.   He inquired about my issue and we emailed back and forth a few times while he trouble shot the issue to get info he can get to the tech guys.  This was on a Sunday afternoon.  Can't ask for anything more.  I'll update to 5 stars once issues are worked out.

### 1/5 — No landscape playback?

*2017-02-24, version 4.0*

Very frustrating. I just renewed my second year with Panteo and cannot watch videos on my iPhone in landscape. App loads very slow and it would be nice if I didn't have to sign in every time.

### 4/5 — Great videos, but...

*2017-01-31, version 4.0*

Panteao puts out great videos. However, with this new version of the app I can no longer watch in full screen on my iPhone. With a previous version I was able to. I recently updated and now I don't even want to watch anymore. Considering canceling my subscription. I emailed Panteao over a month ago about this issue and I got no response.

### 1/5 — intermittant loading, too slow

*2017-01-20, version 4.0*

This app is unsable in its current state.  It may only load upon startup 1 out of five times.  Very slow interface.  Occasionally I can get the app to load and work, only to have it time out  in midstream.

It is a shame as the content in the videos is excellent.  I can only use my subscription on my Amazon Fire TV and on my computer.  I was intending on using it more on my iPad.  I guess that won't happen.

### 1/5 — Worthless!

*2016-12-23, version 4.0*

The app is so slow I'm canceling my subscription.

### 1/5 — Slow as hell

*2016-12-13, version 4.0*

Opening the app, browsing the library of videos takes forever! Super slow! Just frustrating...

### 1/5 — Issues on iPad

*2016-12-07, version 3.2*

Works great on my phone but major issues on iPad won't even open correctly. Wanted to get a subscription but won't if I can't watch the instruction.

### 1/5 — Absolutely terrible app.

*2016-10-08, version 3.1*

Absolutely terrible app. Every time I try to login, it quits. As you watch a video, it will not go full screen on the iPad if you turn it sideways. Then if you get it to go full screen, when the next chapter plays, it turns back to the original.

Poorly designed, definitely a 2nd rate app, with little to no thought put in to the end user. 

Don't bother with this app if you have an iPad, just go to the website and watch from there. Waste of time trying to get this to work.

### 2/5 — No audio?

*2016-09-15, version 2.2*

I can't hear any audio. Apparently you can hear audio if you plug into headphones but I haven't tried this yet.

### 1/5 — Terrible App hinders great content

*2026-07-24, version 68.33*

The content is amazing, but the app borders on useless.  Long loading / buffering times, a search function that doesn’t pull up titles unless they’re an exact match, and downloading content for offline viewing is buggy.  Often the content will play twice at the same time leading to mismatched audio.  Overall a very poor, frustrating app experience.

### 1/5 — Go back to the way things were!

*2025-12-31, version 68.32*

Over the last 2-3 years the web site has changed, the title of the company has changes, the App has changed, the ability to purchase DVDs has gone away and NOW, if I try to download titles for offline viewing, the titles don’t completely download and episodes that DO download are mostly out of order. 
This is NOT what I call customer service. I’d rather go back to a monthly fee and have the DVDs opportunity back or at least be able to have titles download properly.

### 1/5 — Worse than the old app

*2024-05-24, version 59*

When I taught the old app couldn’t get worse, they some how made it worse! It took months to download content that I had already purchased years ago, only now when downloaded, the videos are split into chapter that are treated as separate videos. Not only are they not in order but some just don’t download at all! I’d rather have the videos on VHS!

### 1/5 — Won’t open

*2023-04-12, version 51*

A month ago or so this app worked now it won’t boot up at all. Please fix this I really enjoy the material and it’s unfortunate that this no longer works.

### 1/5 — Crashes on Launch

*2023-03-23, version 51*

Crashes immediately on launch. Won’t even open on my iPhone.

### 1/5 — Terrible app

*2021-01-29, version 37*

After all this time, there’s no excuse for this App to be this bad.

Still Terrible

### 1/5 — Playback is terrible

*2020-01-03, version 32*

Audio doesn’t play at all 
Freezes up all the time 

Great instructors, crap app

### 1/5 — Now no Audio

*2019-11-02, version 20.1*

The app’s UI is sub-par, but that would be forgivable if I could actually watch the videos. Well....I can WATCH them, but without audio on the last several versions of iOS (on iPhone XS). Now I have to break out the iPad Pro if I want to watch videos with audio. I don’t want to give up my subscription, but this is pretty poor.

### 1/5 — Garbage

*2019-10-06, version 20.1*

First video: no sound. Checked and re-checked settings, no dice. Get your act together, Panteao.

### 1/5 — No sound

*2019-04-07, version 20.1*

I can never get the sound to play. The video will load, but no sound. Kind of hard to have an instructional video with no explanations.

### 5/5 — Dave Spaulding (Make Ready)

*2023-03-23, version 51*

I love this app. Quality content anytime you want! I would highly recommend to anyone who takes the time to invest in themselves.

### 5/5 — Much Needed Firearm Safety!

*2023-03-14, version 50*

As someone who conceal carries everyday this app of full of videos that not only provide safety courses but they have taught me to be a better shooter for handguns in general but my marksmanship for hunting has also increased! Plus the cocktail videos are an added bonus! Lol!!

### 5/5 — Fantastic app, smooth interface

*2021-12-15, version 38*

This refreshed version of the app is really great. Very smooth interface with cross-platform sync functionality. Acts like your one-stop-shop for all firearms, food, and more training. Would highly recommend, even if it’s just the free content your after.

### 5/5 — Thank you!

*2020-08-26, version 37*

Great app!  Thank you for revamping’.

### 5/5 — Can't log in - FIXED

*2015-03-08, version 2.0*

Upgraded rating from one to five stars!!  Outstanding customer service.
Initially the app wouldn't allow a login. Contacted Panteao customer support via their website to report this and a separate issue with the mobile web interface. I received a reply that the login issue would be fixed soon and the mobile website later in the week. They even emailed me when the login issue was resolved which was done on the back end and didn't require a new app version. All on a weekend.

Great work Panteao!

### 5/5 — I love this app

*2014-02-21, version 1.1.0*

Love the newly added Make Ready TV!

### 5/5 — Great App!

*2013-11-08, version 1.0.1*

Been waiting for this app to come out for a while. It's everything I was hoping for in an app. Videos are easy to find and all the content from the website is here. Well done!

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2013-11-03, version 1.0.1*

Great app!!

### 5/5 — Great App!

*2013-11-03, version 1.0.1*

I'm glad this is available for the iPhone.  It works well on my iPhone 5.  Love the video content as well.  These videos are great training aids, and are well worth the cost.  Keep 'em coming, Panteao!

### 5/5 — Make Ready with ease

*2013-11-03, version 1.0.1*

As a long time subscriber to Panteao I was truly excited to see an app come out.
