Unfortunately it only gives you the ability to filter by service branch and type of content. ### 1/5 — Not what it needs it to be *2019-05-31* Why can’t I log in? Also why am I not able to search for anything? ### 1/5 — How do I sign in? *2017-12-15* This App is ridiculous - I don’t want to only browse, I’d like to sign in to manage content on the go as well. If there is a way to sign in could you consider making it easier for the user? ### 1/5 — iOS 11 app update a step backwards *2017-11-04* This app used to be great. After this update to make it compatible with iOS 11, it’s junk now. Can’t even scroll to the next image. ### 1/5 — Search capability??? *2017-09-02* Where's the option to search for specific imagery??? Fail. ### 1/5 — Current release has no audio on iOS 10.2.1 *2017-02-21, version 1.0.1* Nice video quality however no audio. Additionally my iPhone gave me a warning that there are compatibility issues with my iPhone6 that the "developer needs to fix" when I down loaded this app. Now I know why. Please fix. ### 1/5 — Simply awful - save yourself, avoid *2016-05-19* Search not effective, lacking filters found on website. Results are limited to one page. I was hoping for a easy to use app that made it easier to search and view images that through the online portal. Nope. Don't bother unless they do a major overhaul. ### 2/5 — Good app needs better performance *2012-11-21* This is a great app for keeping in touch with the military world, but its performance is lacking. HUGE amounts of crashing when loading videos, news, and other sections. Also a word of caution about the info being posted (OPSEC) so as not to endanger our uniformed men & women. ### 3/5 — Keeps chrashing *2012-07-18, version 1.0* When I try to read the news section. ### 1/5 — crashes a lot *2012-02-20, version 1.0* It crashes every time I try to load a news story. ### 1/5 — Does not work *2011-12-16, version 1.0* Needs better voice over support ### 1/5 — Danger!! *2011-10-01, version 1.0* Watch how you use this app and what you post! The enemy could be using this to get at deployed loved ones! ### 2/5 — Army mom *2011-09-24, version 1.0* This is good viewing place for families to connect. ### 1/5 — Back button *2011-09-24, version 1.0* Yes you need one ASAP ### 3/5 — It's just ok *2011-09-20, version 1.0* Glad it's free. Not really covering too much but repeats itself. Not navigation friendly. Needs a back button or something. ### 1/5 — Horrible!!! *2011-09-20, version 1.0* You have missed your mark!! This app is fine if you want to bore yourself with surface-puke news!!! You have forgotten your brothers!!! Fail!!!! Deleting the app!!! ### 1/5 — Cool *2011-09-17, version 1.0* Now I can get my propaganda and sugar coated stories on my phone, who needs the real stories when I can get brainwashed into believing our troops are protecting our freedoms while we are losing them. Protect and serve........corporate interests. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — What is the Point? *2023-02-23* As a service member in the MOS that this app matters most to (CommStrat), I’m incredibly disappointed. Having to log on to a website through a browser in order to look up specific shoots you’ve been on or things you’re interested in can be a hassle, so when I found this app I thought I was going to be saved. That has NOT been the case. When I open the app I’m basically shown whatever they want me to see. I can’t search anything, and I have no control over what information I see apart from which service branch. Incredibly disappointing. I won’t be recommending this app to anybody in the foreseen future. ### 1/5 — Useless *2021-03-24* This is terrible. Much like the website, the search function is mostly worthless and it’s a pain to use. I hoped this would be an easier way to download content. But there is NO way to download content onto your phone. This is content the public owns, too. You can only share links. And the links are terrible for the viewer. I wish I could give it zero stars. Military units are being misled that their content is getting used when they upload to DVIDS. ### 1/5 — Zero usability *2020-06-01* Think of this app like a shared storage folder that pics and vids get thrown into. You don't need an account of any kind to access stuff. There is no naming convention, or intuitive usability of any kind. You only have the ability to sort "content" by service (Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, etc.) and then the user has zero control of anything after this. No search. No identity. No content of worth. I clicked on a link for a Change of Command, and it opened up a web browser where I could access the "live stream" event. The option was available to open it in the app, so I tried it... Nothing. Just went to the blank splash page and continued to be worthless. ### 1/5 — Not Good *2020-05-16* This app is not quite useless, but close to it. ### 1/5 — not a good app *2020-03-04* App is slow and no search option. Good idea, just needs some IT help. ### 1/5 — Crap App *2020-02-08* Another Crap app from the lowest bidder. When can the military be on the same level as the civilian industry. It’s not that hard. Please fix this! ### 1/5 — Useless App *2020-01-30* No login ability. No search ability. No ability to upload, approve or manage content. ### 1/5 — Yes, useless app *2019-11-11* You can’t search images?? Why? I guess they thought it would be good for complete civilians who just want to learn about the military and they don’t know anything about us. However I don’t know of any civilians that know about DVIDS. ### 1/5 — Disappointed *2019-10-25* As a PAO, I was hoping this would be a quick way to access unit content and view it in a more friendly display while on the go. The lack of a search function makes this app completely useless for myself and many other users. ### 1/5 — DVIDS *2019-08-11* Very intrusive! Don't download. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great app. Lots of videos and pictures! *2011-09-28* It has a lot of things and informations on this app. ### 5/5 — It's great. *2011-09-16, version 1.0* Never be left out again. ### 5/5 — Great info *2011-09-15, version 1.0* I've been looking for an app like this! ### 5/5 — Excellent app! *2011-09-15, version 1.0* Lots of information and media too! ### 5/5 — Cool app *2011-09-07, version 1.0* Tons of content! Easy interface! Like it! ### 4/5 — Won't play video *2011-09-26, version 1.0* Great app, good articles and photos, but won't let me play videos. ### 4/5 — Pretty Good *2011-09-17, version 1.0* All in all, a good, easy to use news app. However, making journalists/photographers more searchable/featured would add a good dimension (like having the DVIDs journalist of the month featured). ### 4/5 — Good *2011-09-16* Overall good, specifically the content. However the USMC content appears outdated. The interface needs improvement. (polish) ### 4/5 — Glad to see this! *2011-09-16* If you include a better search feature, I'll give it a 5-star rating! Otherwise, thanks for the app. ### 4/5 — Video won't work. *2011-09-15, version 1.0* The app is really good at showing me picture and informing me of military affairs, however, the video will not work. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
