I’ve been using it to study for my E-5 board and it quite literally covers everything. Honestly so far the only two recommendations I’ve got for this app so far is an update on the regulations (I’ve noticed a few are outdated exp: AR 670-1) and secondly being able to create a personalized flash card stack with regulations that would be applicable to the individual studying. For example there’s only “tidbits” from each section I’ve needed, so it would be nice to pick those out of the study sections for a personalized flash card test. Other that than, having situational questions would drive this app home. Once again for the $5 and change, amazing app. Personally I’d say it’s worth the investment to study for the board (E-4 to E-5 & E-5 to E-6). ### 4/5 — When will M17 be put in? *2022-03-02, version 4.20* Nice way to study, but I have yet to see a topic showing the new pistol for the Army. ### 4/5 — Tests need fixed *2022-01-13, version 4.19* Only reason I didn’t give 5 stars is because when you test the answer is always correct, there’s no incorrect answers so it’s not really a test. Because the answers are given to you every time. It’d be great if you could provide incorrect answers so that way the tester is more involved ### 4/5 — Needs some updates on regs *2021-10-24, version 4.19* AR 670-1 needs to be updated ### 4/5 — Cant bookmark slides *2021-03-22, version 4.16* It’s a good app but I can’t seem to book mark slides and it doesn’t even have the option for me to such as the plus sign or three dots. Some help would be great can’t get a hood of developers but overall good app ### 3/5 — Amazing but *2020-10-29, version 4.15* A couple of slides are cut off at the end. I have to “select all” and copy the whole slide onto ms word to view all the cut off information, which is unsat for a paid app. I would understand if it was free but it’s not. It’s an amazing learning tool but once that issue is resolved I will give 5 stars. ### 4/5 — Great studying app but needs improvement. *2020-09-30, version 4.15* So I just recently got this app. It’s actually super awesome, but I noticed when I took the test, that you hit correct on all the answers and get a 100. Not much of a challenge to see if you retain the information you previously studied. I would give it 5 stars if not for that. I would like something implemented to make the tests more challenging but showing wrong answers every now and again. ### 3/5 — Good tool for board preparation! *2020-04-20, version 4.12* Overall a great tool for board preparation. Nice and handy in its format. However, the audio function doesn’t seem to work for me. I’ll keep playing around with it. Once audio works as suggested, definitely 5 stars worth! ### 5/5 — Essential *2019-12-25, version 4.11* Easily read Take your time and take your opportunity seriously. Good luck -Win ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Not updated *2023-06-12, version 4.24* It’s not updated at all for example it lists the M9 pistol instead of M17 ### 1/5 — Out of Reg *2022-10-23, version 4.22* This app is out of reg. That app logo is not in the correct uniform. OCPs are the uniform. You might also wanna make that logo less binary to be more inclusive to those who are strong in the feelings and what not. ### 1/5 — Don’t waste your money *2021-08-10, version 4.18* Don’t waste your money on this app, too complicated ### 1/5 — App malfunctioning *2021-02-04, version 4.15* When I open the app to study, half of the open page is block (in black) and can’t see the remaining bottom content. Swipe to the next page and it’s the same for me. I’m beginning to regret buying this app! If the developer can look into this ASAP I will appreciate it because I got my promotion board coming up and need to review!!!! ### 1/5 — Can’t see *2020-12-29, version 4.15* There is a black bar or box that covers like half the screen, Can’t properly study if I can’t see everything I need to learn. This needs to be fixed. ### 1/5 — Blocking issue *2020-12-07, version 4.15* There is a black line that goes up until to the text that it will prevent you from reading the whole page, its been a month and its still the issue ### 1/5 — Do not buy *2019-11-28, version 4.11* There is constant misinformation on here. If you’re using this for any kind of board prep you’ll be at a substantial disadvantage. Also, the usability is a bit dated and clunky.. as if the creators are living in 2010. Bette than nothing? Maybe if it was free.. Avoid, you’ll be better off making your own notecards or asking your leaders. ### 1/5 — Trash *2018-11-29, version 4.06* Trash ### 3/5 — Test is not good *2021-08-30, version 4.18* I think the quiz should be updated. All answers they have is correct one so if u hit correct for all you get 100%. ### 3/5 — Good Study App *2020-12-01, version 4.15* Good study app for the board. Only issues I have is that there is black boxes that cover almost half to the slides. Really hard to study if I can’t see all of the slide. Support email or website doesn’t work. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Accurate and up to date (mostly) *2025-04-01, version 6.0* I was worried about the info being outdated or losing support when purchasing, but as of writing this it seems to get updated relatively quick pertaining to what the army publishes/updates. Thank you to the publisher for the app support and updates ### 5/5 — Works great and seems to be updated! *2024-11-17, version 4.29* Easy pop up standard reference when you need it for admin or studying! Is there any way to add drivers training AR600-55 to this? Or Driver training tool box? ### 5/5 — Good stuff *2024-06-25, version 4.28* To whomever made this app. Good job this is exactly what I was looking for, I appreciate the content and the flow of the lessons. ### 5/5 — Ncoers *2024-05-12, version 4.28* Is the regulation AR 623-3 the most up to date? ### 5/5 — Amazing work. *2020-09-28, version 4.15* The app developers have done a fantastic job creating a quick access to board information, and information in general. Extremely helpful ### 5/5 — Good information *2020-07-27, version 4.14* This app helped a lot to pass my first bored, also has enough information to be able to answer questions on the spot when you can’t find someone who does know the answer ### 5/5 — A Highly Suggested *2020-06-26, version 4.14* This app is great. It provides all of the knowledge and know how that any wanting NCO or Leader needs to be successful. One thing i will say that needs to be added, is an audiobook. I say, this because there are different learning styles. Some people excel at reading and learning material. Others are hands on learners. Others are Auditory learners. I will admit that i am one of those auditory learners, and that sitting down and reading the material for hours on in, sometimes minutes, pose a challenge for me, and any one else who wishes to learn. I am a SPC, whose primary zone is in 2 months. While it may be too late for me, it may not be for another person. I really want to become a knowledgeable and relatable leader. If this can be one advancement for the app, it would be worth it for those who have different learning styles. ### 5/5 — Great app *2020-06-22, version 4.14* Easy to use ### 5/5 — Information is up to date *2020-03-01, version 4.12* Great app with. The most accurate information ### 5/5 — Best military app ever. *2020-01-06, version 4.11* This app is very complete. Very useful. It covers everything that you need to know for your up coming promotion. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
