### 4/5 — Update not updating

*2023-04-13*

I hit the update but it seems like it doesn’t update..

### 5/5 — Great App: how to’s on TAK website

*2022-01-24, version 3.3*

Visit tak.gov for good training videos.

### 1/5 — Probable scam

*2022-01-12*

The developers website is broken, contact forms don’t work, and their sales email listed on it returns as an invalid address. 
I wouldn’t trust this app with access to my location services if I were you. I’m not trusting it with mine.

### 4/5 — Great item, but team chat should not be paid.

*2021-12-12*

Hello, I love this app, it is a great tool, and could possibly be used in the military. The only thing I’d suggest is that team chat and making teams should be free, and not a paid thing.

### 5/5 — Great app, one crucial part is missing

*2021-10-25*

Love the app, but please please please allow map downloading

### 1/5 — Purchase

*2020-12-20*

The app is great until i go to purchase the teams and bft. When i submit the purchase it tries to load and says no purchase found. So now im out 20 bucks for this useless thing. Garbage

### 5/5 — very nice

*2020-11-08*

thank you for program

### 4/5 — Question

*2020-10-27, version 3.3*

I’m a 12B but have MOS qualifications as 11B and 31B in the Army. I was just wondering if this is the civilian (obviously iOS) version of the android tactical assault kit which is currently being used.

### 1/5 — Great app but overpriced

*2020-09-07*

We loved the app until we saw the price for my team. The search continues.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t serve much purpose

*2020-09-03*

If you have come here looking for an iPhone equivalent version of the ATAK. Turn around. Can’t plan routes, navigates by taking you out and using Apple Maps. Can’t even plot a point based on coords. Essentially just google earth that can stamp a symbol on a map
