### 2/5 — Don't download this game

*2025-03-28, version 2.1.5*

Too much adds

### 1/5 — USED to love this app!

*2025-03-19, version 2.1.5*

I used to rely on this app all the time for stuff as I could view every branch of the US Military. NOW, I can only view Army and Air Force.  I have to say that I’m extremely disappointed and will be finding another app to use.

### 1/5 — You have to pay

*2023-10-05, version 2.1.5*

You have to pay for mostly everything you only get one free thing it is one branch

### 2/5 — Too many ads

*2023-08-11, version 2.1.5*

Showing me an ad every few flash cards

### 2/5 — Broken

*2023-06-22, version 2.1.5*

You are forced to chose US from the start. I then purchased all GB ranks and yet it only shows UK Army (which is missing some) I cannot toggle to another service. Under the Study option it only shows US ranks and you weirdly tap randomly to reveal bits (don’t understand that). The game works well but is a bit weird and the names could be US again (hard to tell as use different abbreviations to UK). 

Please fix and ideally do the additional of uniform.

### 4/5 — Constrictive criticism

*2021-08-06, version 2.1.5*

I love this app I have learned the order of ranks E1-O10 but I would love to see so much more in this app, I don’t have access to squad bay yet. But I would love to see creeds and general orders. This app is a great app to learn on if you are planning on enlisting but there’s a lot to learn and this app allows games for memorizing in bite size chunks.

### 5/5 — Very nice!

*2020-08-02, version 2.1.3*

Very well done! Excellent information!

### 4/5 — Incorrect Insignia

*2020-07-29, version 2.1.2*

During one of the recent updates, the insignia for the ‘Master Chief Petty Officer of the Navy’ is incorrect and it appears that the insignia for the equivalent rank in the Army was incorrectly pasted in from the Army.

Otherwise, this has been the Goto app for military ranks for me.

### 4/5 — Brill, few more tweaks & would be perfect. 👍🏻

*2020-07-16, version 2.0.1*

Very good, especially since recent update to the new layout & the added other countries, however there are some grammar mistakes since update, some titles not being with capital letters where they should be & yet others are fine. Especially between USA & other countries, so bit visually inconsistent. The study cards are I think abit messed up since update too as the organisations shown do not properly match with the badges being shown, so if the creator sees this then awesome, few tweaks & would be perfect, no OR5? Nato grade too, but tbh that might actually be meant to look like that, seems odd to jump from OR4 upto & through OR6, without OR5?. Maybe things have changed, could of sworn there’s a OR5 grade somewhere, lol. I have a small screen phone so display is also not as neat as should be, lol. That’s expected tho as it’s been redesigned for bigger screens. But obviously all these nitpicks aside, A very worthwhile app for those interested, again would be perfect & the best military ranks app I can see on app store atm if just a few more tweaks were/are made in future. 👌🏻😅

### 1/5 — Stupid people

*2020-07-08, version 1.4.0*

They can’t get the marine corps birthday right
