Amazing group
This app is amazing for veterans of any branch and they support you in anything that you want to do physically and emotionally
Missed opportunities
Team RWB is great, but this push for an app will never engage members like Facebook did. The casual member or prospective veteran looking to connect with Team RWB won’t use separate apps to find the events in their area. And I understand why the organization wants a standalone app, but ask yourself why the engagement has dropped year over year and you may want to consider the push to an app and all the virtual activities that do nothing to increase engagement.

Truly grateful.
Just joined the group after years of not feeling like I had purpose or many people to relate too. The virtual and location based opportunities are truly a blessing for those of us that still have that instilled drive to push forward in life and keep challenging ourselves. Meeting others with this passion is saving my life.

Great App
Great way to stay connected with other vets and keep us accountable for staying active.
Love them
An amazing organization that gives veteran a purpose to go out there and keep moving
Really helpful
Just downloaded so many opportunities for veterans. So excited to see where it takes me. I need to branch out. This is very helpful. From virtual challenges, to opportunities to meet local vets. It sure is an amazing app !
Best veterans app
A great app to find fellow battles and participate in events. Being out now, I don’t miss the circus, but I miss the clowns.
Come join and meet up with others that have lived the life and knew the challenges.

Disappointed
Downloaded the app and got locked up at step #2 w/the verification code. An email was sent indicating that someone in Boston Ma is trying to authenticate my account. I’m in Southern California not Boston
Videos?!
So stoked to see we can post and see videos now! Feels like a game changer for the community 🦅🔥
Well Organized
Sip light
Staying motivated
Great app for those who want to feel like they apart of a community. Great way to get involved with a community in real life or just by communicating through message boards
New Member
So far, so good. I just became a member earlier this month and I’m excited to take part in some of the events. I like the vast amount of resources that they have throughout the states. I think the app is a more friendly experience, that will further communication amongst the veteran community.
Notifications
Stop with the notifications. You select no notifications in the settings for likes and you still get them. Turn sounds off in phone settings for app and you still get them.
Stronger than ever thanks to this app!
The missions and fitness challenges in this app really help me stay consistent with working out! I also love the big fitness goal setting- I worked all year on a goal because of this organization, really awesome.
Team RWB is incredible!
Highly recommended for those that serve or have served this great country! It helps keep me sane and makes me want to Go One More!
Team RWB - amazing team & app
App is stellar- as a family member of generations of veterans - thank you RWB for all your continued hard work on this app in working towards the RWB commitment of better days ahead for our veterans (and veteran supporters).
RWB is a toxic climate at national level.
First of all, this app is glitchy, not user friendly, and users are under too much control and monitoring. Secondly, Mackenzie Scott has given a sizeable donation to RWB earmarked and with the contingent that the members must use this new app (quite a lot of members are hesitant on giving up their personal information that may be mined for nefarious purposes). Furthermore, RWB is looking for a solution of the leadership problem involving the toxic climate at the national level, this app is not it!

Everything I need
After moving around most of my adult life, I have lost touch with many friends made over the years. The Team RWB community and app have given me a support system that is with me no matter where I move to next. The app is a great tool that helps me find events in my local area or when I travel. They also have fun challenges I can do on my own. I am so thankful to have found this community for veterans and supporters.

Getting better
The RWB app is constantly improving!
I hope Team RWB can get better
When the app first started and just showed events, it was a good idea. Now they’re trying to turn it into the everything app, which means they’re only competing with Elon Musk and Zuckerberg. Just show me events in my area and let me see if I want to go.
And why must I put in a username and password just to see events? Am I only allowed to go if I’m a member? Are they taking roll?
Just to close the loop on this whole escapade: I made the above review because RWB asked for reviews. Rather than take criticism for this review and get better, a staff member contacted me directly to discuss this review… but didn’t actually focus on any of the issues in the review, just that I apparently think he’s an okay guy and should use his status as an okay guy, not actually wanting to help veterans, as a basis for being okay with the app and to a larger extent the direction of the organization. I can tell you, he may be an okay guy, he’s just not concerned with making the organization better.
Apparently Team RWB has a slack channel devoted to negative reviews where paid employees just comment about how they can’t understand why anyone won’t join in the group think.
So then I’m kicked from large portions of the organization (literally entirely removed from my local chapter’s Facebook group by a paid staffer), so I can see that there’s really no point in sticking around as you must at least 4 star the app and sell it like the guys on Glenngarry Glenn Ross or you will not be allowed to partake.
I’m fine with this. It’s not my intellectual property, I don’t sit on the board, they can fire me, and I’m more than happy to leave given the direction of the organization.
As a result of my own concern about my data being used for various purposes, I try to delete my account through the app as the app tells me I can. I press the button to delete my account, enter my password, and wait. Only it doesn’t work.
Think about that. The app is so rinky dink, you can’t even leave the organization using it even though the buttons exist, and for some reason paid staff talks about the importance of data security and privacy… something veterans care about a lot.
I ended up having to post pictures of my failed attempts to leave the app in the app itself in order to get them to delete my data.
When they want to start serving veterans again, RWB knows where to find me.
If you’re a veteran, be careful what organizations you join and don’t get sentimental when they turn into something you can’t back.
