But since the new IOS 9.0 and newer update it will not open. ### 4/5 — This is great! *2013-12-21, version 1.5.3* I would like to be in the army and knew almost nothing about ranks or weapons or anything. This app really helped me learn a lot about the army! My only complaint is that it can take a while to load. ### 4/5 — I am mad *2012-12-03, version 1.5.1* It said I had an update for this app, when I tried to update it, it said that the item I am trying to buy is expired. So I deleted the app and tried to re-install it but it said the same thing. FIX THE PROBLEM NOW! ### 4/5 — Great app...when it works *2012-06-01, version 1.4* I had no issues with this app for months. Good news updates daily. Then one day the headlines disappeared. You can still click where they would be and go to the article but it's a surprise what article you get. I deleted and reinstalled and am still having the same issues. I gotta assume it an issue on their end not mine. Hope they work the problem soon. ### 3/5 — News headlines don't show *2012-05-30, version 1.4* Under news tab headlines don't show. Although links work and will take to a story. I'd like to see the headlines so I don't have to click each one ### 4/5 — Good but.. *2012-04-18, version 1.4* Its a good app, but I would like to be able to email my questions to a recruiter online and when I press to email it doesn't do nothing ### 3/5 — Active army *2011-10-29, version 1.4* I give it 3 stars overall it is a good app, but the reason y I gave it 3 stars is the simple fact it needs to be updated and new arsenal needs to be uploaded to the app...... ### 4/5 — Aditions needed *2011-05-24, version 1.4* You should put army awards and ribbons plus possible careers snd things for people wishing to join and things ### 4/5 — Needs to be updated & expanded *2011-05-21, version 1.4* This app shows a lot of potential if it's maintained and updated. MOS's need to be expanded to include all branches. Weapons and vehicles are outdated and need to be updated to reflect the modern Army that's continuing to transform. Do all this and it'll be a five star app. ### 5/5 — Surprisingly useful *2011-04-15, version 1.4* Well maintained, easy to use, constantly updated and surprisingly useful. Any Soldier with a smartphone should use this app. ### 5/5 — Help *2010-10-26, version 0* I love the army and this app. However whenever I try to click on " email a recruiter" it doesn't do any thing. :( please help ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Horrible app! *2021-09-02, version 3.0.8* Nothing works! No matter what I click on it just won’t work! Must delete! ### 1/5 — Broken Links *2020-04-05, version 3.0.5* When browsing stories, I’ll scroll to the bottom of the page and tap on links pm the “related stories” section. The current page re-loads and never goes to the story I wanted to read. It’s disappointing because it seems the writers had the right intent with an execution that could still use some improvement. ### 1/5 — Articles won't load *2014-06-20, version 1.5.3* None of the articles open the only thing on the app that loads are the pictures and I don't get on the app to look at pictures. Needs more work to load articles ### 1/5 — Needs to be unique. Not like the web *2010-02-20, version 0* This app is fine for the iPhone but this app could truely give out better info on weapons and other things. The rank info is not completely accurate< time in service/time in grade. For people truely interested in weapons used by the Army you can go to a book store and buy Janes dictionary and it still doesn't touch all the weapons we've used. I used weapons in the 90's that just came out on the military channel. I love the Army and our great country but it's frustrating to find things on the 'net' that don't give the full view of the Army and what we do. ### 1/5 — Needs to be unique.

If i want to read any of those articles, only the title shows up and nothing else loads. Second i thought this app was only about the army. Going through the Small arms portion i see many pictures of Marines holding the service weapons. I would look into getting better pictures for that part with Soldiers holding or operating that weapon system. ### 3/5 — Miss the game inside app! *2018-08-22, version 2.0.10* They should really bring back the board game they had on the app.. ### 3/5 — Can't read the articles *2014-04-01, version 1.5.3* When I open an article there is nothing there. I am only able to see the pictures but I would really like to read the articles and stay informed ### 3/5 — Good app, but writing needs improvement *2014-03-17, version 1.5.3* The app itself is done well but it doesn't have a feedback option for internal improvement so I will post here. Every news article I've read has grammatical mistakes; if our own Public Affairs Offices can't write properly, how can we expect our Soldiers to do so? ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Issues *2019-12-24, version 3.0.3* The app crashes when I tap the play button of a video. Needs fixing plz ### 5/5 — Great UI Design *2019-07-09, version 3.0.1* This app has a great oft feature with custom views you don’t get to see in regular apps. ### 5/5 — Great app *2019-06-19, version 3.0.1* Amazing app experience ### 5/5 — Great app *2015-12-12, version 2.0.1* Keeps me caught up with everything that is happening ### 5/5 — Nice! *2015-04-04, version 1.6.2* Vast improvement from the buggy and outdated list view version. ### 5/5 — JG *2014-05-27, version 1.5.3* Good overall app. Great information/news to keep updated, and learn from ### 5/5 — Disabled vet *2013-01-26, version 1.5.2* U that gripe about taxes just shut up. I served and was injured. Would I do it over again? Hell yes! I love our country faults and all! U don't then move out of the USA! ### 5/5 — Do you love America? *2012-01-12, version 1.4* If you love America, and I know you do, then you should get this app. ### 5/5 — :) *2011-12-11, version 1.4* I would like to join the Army after high school plus I'm in a ROTC program so this app can be very useful!!!!:D ### 5/5 — Great app for future soldiers *2011-05-06, version 1.4* Good app for referencing about uniforms and weapons but they should as some other reviewer said add the list of Army mos's. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
