## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Internet access

*2026-05-15*

It will ask for you to get a membership with no ability to skip the option. So you’d need Internet access. Kinda sucks finding out the moment I lost internet access.

**Developer response:** Hi there, you don’t need internet access for the membership to work because your payment information is stored in the cloud. We also offer a lifetime license

### 1/5 — What a joke

*2026-04-11*

App requires active online connection! What’s the point of this? Was trying to use it while in Yosemite, would not “initialize”… so tried to rely on the built in offline content. They are also a joke. 

Spare your money, this has been done by clowns.

**Developer response:** Hello, the app does not need an internet connection but we’re sorry for your experience. We’ve bundled the model into the app so this won’t happen again. The model previously initialized after the app download but we’ve since fixed this.

### 1/5 — Not a good product

*2026-03-17*

You are forced to create an account, then your forced to sign up for a subscription. And when attempting to access their privacy policy and conditions it takes me to a broken website with and unsecured domain. I can’t even figure out how to delete my account. Waste of time.

**Developer response:** Hello, we don’t force account creation or people to subscribe. We offer people the ability to do so. Thanks for letting us know about the links! We’ve fixed those now. If you ever need support don’t hesitate to reach out to us at support@scorpiodevices.com

### 1/5 — Какие бабки при ядерной войне??!

*2025-10-29*

В лесу еле скачал приложение, подняв телефон на самую высокую точку. жизнь на грани.. умру. Карты нет для оплаты.. Но желание написать негативный отзыв! спасло меня!!

**Developer response:** Hi there! We do offer a lifetime option. Cheers!

### 1/5 — Trash

*2025-10-14*

Was supposedly lifetime fully free when I downloaded via AppAdvice… now has a yearly paywall… deleted!

**Developer response:** Hi there! I’m sorry, that was a mistake, can you please email me at support@scorpiodevices.com and I can get you your access back. Again, I’m sorry! Not intentionsal

### 1/5 — No true IAP

*2025-09-27*

Developer won’t allow you to keep your membership by bypassing the App Store purchase method.

**Developer response:** Hi there! I’m sorry for your bad experience. I want to make the app awesome. Could you send me a message here and I can help? I’m not sure what you’re wanting exactly. Thanks for leaving feedback! - supportteam@scorpiodevices.com

### 1/5 — Be Careful!!!

*2025-09-26*

Any app that says “Data not collected”, but has a privacy policy that lists all kinds of data that it collects and shares should not be trusted.

I’m not saying the dev is untrustworthy, but they clearly have conflicting information that they are communicating publicly that could put users at risk.

**Developer response:** Hi there! I just noticed this too. I’m communicating with Apple to have this changed. Thank you for trying our app and caring enough to write a review

### 1/5 — Asks to sign in suddenly

*2025-07-27*

App had “just worked” before, but now requires a login. Additionally the website listed for T&S does not exist. Want to believe this is a good app, but that has me sketched.

**Developer response:** Hi there! We’ve removed the immediate sign-in. We’re constantly trying to improve the app so any feedback is appreciated. 

You can always contact us at supportteam@scorpiodevices.com if you have any feedback too. We’d be happy to help.

### 2/5 — Great Concept, poor execution

*2026-07-27*

The Knowledge vault was clearly thrown together haphazardly, they even included some free pdfs from common prepper sites. This is not a one stop app for all your survival needs. It’s got lots of flashy buzz words in the description but don’t let that fool you. Once you get past the paywall it’s pretty sad and doesn’t include many features. Don’t pay for the subscription. Just trust me on this one. Also claiming to have trained the AI using survivalist is pretty funny. I mean any LLM can accomplish this level of instruction. It’s not anything special

**Developer response:** Hello! Thanks for the feedback. We’re doing a major upgrade of the knowledge base soon. Any AI can perform general query, but there are specialized survival-oriented ones that can outperform generalists with training. We’re sorry it didn’t live up to your expectation, but hopefully soon we will. Wish the best! Take care

### 2/5 — Нечего не понимает

*2025-08-09*

Спрашиваю «Что мне взять с собой в поход на 2 или 3 дня , ответь на русском» пишет криво с символами, так еще в конце добавляет что нужно взять документы и гражданство и визу, удалил.

**Developer response:** Hello! Yes, I’m sorry the app does not support other languages yet that’s why you’re having those issues. However, we’ll add multi-language support soon.

### 5/5 — Helpful for my family

*2025-05-31*

Gives me greater peace of mind that my family will be okay in an emergency

**Developer response:** Thank you so much! I'm happy to hear that.

### 5/5 — Good for outdoorsman

*2025-05-27*

This is great for hiking in case you get lost

**Developer response:** Thank you! I’m glad you enjoy it

### 4/5 — Nice app

*2025-09-27*

The developer seems to have overlooked clearing the message in the send box after tapping the send button. It can be a bit inconvenient to delete it each time. I believe it’s a innocent error that should be addressed soon.

**Developer response:** Hi there! I didn’t know about this bug. I’ll try to replicate it and get it fixed asap! Thanks again for your feedback!

### 3/5 — The ark app

*2025-09-26*

Just a copy of free documents all in words. So internal AI can search with no wifi. No diagrams. & it is already over 2 GB

**Developer response:** Hello! I’m sorry to hear you were disappointed. How could we make it better?
