If it were up to date I would have given it 5 stars. ### 5/5 — This is an excellent app! *2016-03-30, version 1.15* This app is updated to the most recent instruction (061/16). Support from the app creator is great as well, I wrote them an email and they replied back in a timely manner. Great job with this being a great reference! ### 5/5 — Great app!!!!well worth it!!!!! *2016-03-27, version 1.14* I've been through this app very extensively to make sure it was worth the money paid and I believe I got this app at a steal. The one minor problem I found, I contacted the developer and it was fixed with an update and feedback within 24 hours. **Update** Over a year later this app is still getting regular updates! About a couple weeks after a change happens to the PFA, this app gets updated! It says don't officially use this app but I think that's due to lack of endorsing from the NAVY not its accuracy. ### 5/5 — PFA APP *2015-09-15, version 1.11* Great app!! ### 5/5 — Awesome *2015-05-10, version 1.11* I love this app! So easy to use and accurate! Thx to whoever created it! ### 5/5 — PFA *2015-01-04, version 1.10* Great tool to stay within standard. ### 4/5 — Great app for weigh-ins; needs a little tune *2014-11-20, version 1.10* This is great so far for CFL's. The only things I would love to see would be the phone number keypad up instead of the keyboard when crunching numbers. Second thing would be the "tab" key or arrows at the top of the keyboard to let me "tab" to the next box instead of taping on it. Then if I hit "return" have the app calculate the numbers versus me tapping on the app above the keyboard and then tapping calculate. The last amazing thing that you could add would be the Navy Instruction for physical readiness. ### 5/5 — Amazing app *2014-10-14, version 1.10* Absolute must have for all Navy. Great app! ### 4/5 — Sweeeet *2014-10-08, version 1.9* Exactly what I need. ### 5/5 — GREAT *2014-09-18, version 1.9* This app has it all. I'm not sure why people buy that other navy app over this one. It doesn't close out (ios8). Easy to use. Comes with pdf guides that can be transferred and downloaded onto other apps to read. It's great and I recommend it to all others that are in the DEP program or are already enlisted. It has standards to choose from (maximum, outstanding, excellent, great, and satisfactory). That way you can see if you will barely pass or if you want to go all out and excellent at all the test. ### 5/5 — Cfl tool to have *2014-08-18, version 1.8* So fat this app has everything. It's up to date with Navy standards and has the pubs/inst for quick reference. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Don’t trust WAY OFF! *2018-05-04, version 1.22* Bike cardio calculator is way off. If you follow the “goal calculator” you will most likely FAIL. Thankfully I decided to push it but that was a close one. ### 1/5 — Crashes like crazy, very buggy *2018-02-01, version 1.21* The score app crashes to desktop. Uninstalled and reinstalled. Still crashes to desktop. I want my money back! ### 1/5 — Not Accurate *2017-11-22, version 1.18* I’m a current CFL. Cycle 2 2017 I ran into an issue with a sailor with BCA issue and the app had them a percent off on their body fat compared to the chart in the guides. This was crucial error especially with advancement results... ### 1/5 — Not awesome *2015-10-22, version 1.11* I did a side by side comparison with the pfa instruction for my age group. The cardio numbers were completely out to lunch. The app only has one job: tell you the required numbers. One job here. ### 2/5 — Out Of Date *2016-07-29, version 1.16* App is not an accurate account of PFA score. ### 2/5 — Please Fix! *2016-03-30, version 1.15* Elliptical entries return failure no matter what is entered ### 3/5 — Buggy *2017-05-01, version 1.17* Score calculator doesn't work. And sometimes it crashes...good reference though for other things. ### 3/5 — Obsolete Guides *2016-03-11, version 1.14* Please upload the correct versions of the Guides... The one in this App are obsolete!!! ### 3/5 — Works great except *2014-04-18, version 1.4* This app is great unless you open the instructions or try to contact the developer through the app itself. No way to navigate in it if you have older versions of iOS on your phone. ### 4/5 — Good but not up to date. *2019-07-30, version 1.24* The treadmill was deleted from the application and people are still able to test on it. It’s also lacking a developer email to send to the issues of the app to. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — The PRT reference to use *2021-08-18, version 1.29* I use this app all the time to help run my unit’s PRT Program. It is strait forward, easy to use, and makes the alternative cardio a breeze to calculate. I also use it in my personal training to set my fitness goals for my own PRT. It’s great ### 5/5 — My go-to PFA goals planning app *2019-06-01, version 1.24* I started just using this for my husband and I a few years ago. As LPOs now we both love being able to help our sailors estimate their PT goals. I’ve gotten sailors to graduate FEP and achieve their Excellent scores to skip. It was a little tricky at first, but over the years it’s become our go-to app! ### 5/5 — Great App! *2017-06-04, version 1.17* Use this all the time! It is very helpful to have all the regulations. ### 5/5 — Perfect. *2017-04-14, version 1.17* This app is a bit confusing at first. But it has everything I need and is always updated to the most recent instruction... ### 5/5 — Super Convenient *2017-04-06, version 1.17* As a CFL it's extremely helpful to have this app and use it to answer any questions or concerns that service members have. The fact that anyone can use this and have the most up to date information makes it an asset for them! Keep it up!! ### 5/5 — Fantastic *2017-03-23, version 1.17* This app has helped me immensely. It's even uncovered a flaw in the way my scores were recorded. Thanks for this awesome app. ### 5/5 — Life saver! *2016-12-23, version 1.17* Such a handy app and I appreciate that it is regularly updated. Thank you! ### 5/5 — Great app *2016-10-18, version 1.16* Love this app, I was using a different one but they did not keep up with updates. Love this app!!! - ### 5/5 — Best Navy PFA App *2016-04-15, version 1.15* Best app. Accurate info. A must have! ### 5/5 — Great App! *2016-04-01, version 1.15* This app provides the most up-to-date instruction and standards. It is user friendly and an ideal tool to reference for Navy PRTs. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
