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. ### 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. 👌🏻😅 ### 4/5 — Very good! *2019-11-20, version 1.4.0* I like the comprehensive information for US military ranks. It looks like it has an option to purchase information on other countries’ ranks but there is no way to purchase or activate that functionality. Would be nice if there was a section on decorations and pay. Otherwise excellent. Hope an update comes soon. ### 3/5 — It used to be great *2019-11-05, version 1.4.0* This was a simple, but extremely helpful app, now it doesn’t even work, hopefully it can be fixed ### 2/5 — Doesn’t work with iOS 13.1.2 *2019-10-10, version 1.4.0* Continuous loop when launched. Shadowshiver .....Shadowshiver.....Shadowshiver.... ### 3/5 — Great App *2019-09-23, version 1.4.0* This was my go to app to help train my troops on rank recognition. Recently my app stopped working, not getting past the intro screen. Could be a hiccup being worked on, but overall when the app works it rocks. ### 1/5 — Study cards *2018-07-02, version 1.4.0* I wish this app had multiple choice to test you knowledge on all ranks please add this update ### 4/5 — Good App *2018-05-02, version 1.4.0* It seems to be a good app. My only complaint is that you have to pay a dollar if you want more than one branch. ### 1/5 — Skip it! *2018-04-16, version 1.4.0* This app use to provide ALL branches for free. 😒 Skip it and just use google. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 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 ### 1/5 — Stupid people *2020-07-08, version 1.4.0* They can’t get the marine corps birthday right ### 1/5 — WRONG INFORMATION *2020-05-14, version 1.4.0* I was looking forward to studying my ranks with this quiz game, but then I found out that the information presented is wrong. It says that the birthday of the navy is October 12th, but it should be October 13th. It was a great idea for an app, but the information needs to be doubled checked. ### 1/5 — Can’t learn about other branches *2020-04-24, version 1.4.0* I can’t learn about the other branches. If the devs want people to learn, make all branches free. I will quit using if I can’t learn about any other branches. ### 1/5 — Stuck on loading screen *2019-11-03, version 1.4.0* I had this game for a week and every day I go on it and I stay on the loading screen for an hour and I still haven’t gotten to use pocket rank ### 1/5 — Loop de loop *2019-10-30, version 1.4.0* Will not open. Just loops. Junk ### 1/5 — Not working *2019-10-28, version 1.4.0* Can’t get passed the intro screen. ### 1/5 — Not a good reference *2019-09-24, version 1.4.0* You can only view one service. It requires purchase to see others and to see information that’s readily available for free online. Deleting from my phone. ### 1/5 — Insulting to Active Duty & Vets *2019-08-15, version 1.4.0* I come from a family of Vets. Between my Dad, my brothers & myself, we've served in every branch of the US Military except the USCG. To get a better feel for this app, I chose an initial branch, scanned through all the ranks, then took a quiz. Maybe ½ of the questions did NOT offer the correct answer to the question: both the O & E ranks were jumbled, not matching anything in the multiple choices. As a test, I chose the rank CLOSEST answer & was surprised & miffed to discover that this app considered those answers correct. This app was a bitter disappointment & left me feeling like the developer didn't didn't care about the subject and was only interested in exploiting the military. Unless/until this app is properly redone, I encourage everyone to steer clear of this app. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Very nice! *2020-08-02, version 2.1.3* Very well done! Excellent information! ### 5/5 — Pocket rank *2019-07-14, version 1.4.0* This is a great app for those wanting to learn about the rank hierarchy and structure in the armed forces, great reference app to download. ### 5/5 — Educational *2019-04-30, version 1.4.0* Going to bct on June 4th 2019 super helpful app ### 5/5 — Great for what i use it for *2018-10-24, version 1.4.0* I just needed an easy way to study Army ranks and test myself on the insignias. The study cards are great for testing by yourself. ### 5/5 — Ranks *2018-10-07, version 1.4.0* The app is great demonstrating the different ranks. Could this app also have pictures of top General and top command Sargent major. Also it could go into more detail of relevant military equipment relevant to each branch. ### 5/5 — Worth the 99¢ *2018-09-18, version 1.4.0* Seriously educational and worth having in your pocket ### 5/5 — Geat app *2018-06-03, version 1.4.0* This is a great app. But i wish this app would be up graded with up to date 2018 military pay rates. ### 5/5 — The BEST 🔥💯 *2017-03-06, version 1.4.0* This is one amazing app ... if you love to learn, it will be easy for you to catchup to things really fast. I will definitely recommend this app for all those in my platoon. ### 5/5 — Good help *2016-06-08, version 1.4.0* Helps you learn ### 5/5 — Awesome App *2015-09-16, version 1.2.0* The way the app is laid out is very easy to use. Nice design. Has a lot of information to study for those who are looking to join the military. Really great app. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
