On the App Store it shows the standards for women so there’s got to be a way to do it but it does not make it easy to find if it’s even there at all ### 3/5 — Could be better but it’s alright *2021-12-30, version 5.2.0* I think as a poolee this app is great but it could be better. I wish this app was better because here some actual ways. 1. Be able to have chats a lot more open then just the specific RSS. Kinda like discord where you have a code or an invite to be able to meet other poolees. 2. Have actually Work out plans then just PFT and IST where you just place the numbers in. 3. For the knowledge test, to have certain knowledge sections in specific order to make it easier to memorize. I get this is only to help prepare and a lot of it has to do with how willing a poolee is able to do their research and also their workouts on their own. But it would be nicer to include these features so that this could “the place” to go for if not most of your Marine Corps knowledge and preparedness. ### 4/5 — Amazing app for poolees but I can’t access a quiz *2021-05-28* The Reporting to Recruit Training quiz won’t open when I click on it and neither will the study cards for that quiz. I can access all of the other quizzes except that one. Amazing app, easy to use, I just need the quiz fixed. ### 3/5 — Quiz’s and Tests *2021-05-10* The tests do not really help you memorize things you need to know. Also it would be better if things like the General Orders were placed in order when you review the study guide. ### 3/5 — Needs a update *2021-02-02, version 4.4.0* My recruiter sent me my registration code, I created my account but every time I go to select a “ship date” the app crashes. I tried deleting and redownloading as well as trying the squad bay website and neither option was a solution, was really looking forward to utilizing this app but this is a major let down.... ### 4/5 — Technically problems *2021-01-28* I just download the app and it won’t let me set my ship date it keeps going back to my Home Screen. I know this is a great app but I tried everything from deleting waiting some time and nothing is working. ### 1/5 — App bug detected *2020-06-12, version 4.1.0* Will not let me register. Says my code/email doesn’t match up. ### 4/5 — Excellent app - one suggestion *2020-05-11, version 4.1.0* Love this app, it’s great. One thing though is that SB will often kick me off of it after more than a few days without logging in. I’m guessing it’s a security feature, and it’s merely a slight inconvenience, but one that is a pain nonetheless. ### 1/5 — Code *2020-01-21, version 4.0.6* I need some sort of code and I don’t know my code ### 1/5 — Dumb *2019-12-03, version 3.3.8* I don’t understand why I have to have a registration code to use the app. I have already been through meps and have my ship out date, why do I need a code? How do I even receive the code? This app needs to be updated to where there is no code to have access to it. All I’m trying to do is keep myself on track. ### 4/5 — Shipping dates *2019-06-19* Allow accounts to be able to edit their shipping date. Often times, that can change for poolees and the app has no way to edit the program for a new date. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Security Update *2026-08-01* The security update completely broke the app. The login redirect takes me to a 403 error page. ### 1/5 — password *2025-07-29, version 6.2.1* doesn’t let me put a password ### 1/5 — Help *2025-01-08* I can’t even make an account… I put in the required things for the password but still won’t accept it ### 1/5 — Request Information Form *2024-10-25* I was able to make an account and log into it without trouble when I try to do the form I fill it everything that is needed and it says error has occurred try again later I don’t know what I’m doing wrong. ### 1/5 — Useless tool *2023-12-03* I didn’t even want this app, but my recruiter told me I have to get it. Waste of time. ### 1/5 — Stop with pointless notifications *2023-10-31* If y’all don’t stop sending the same notification every two minutes. Everyone is going to delete this app. The Marine Corps spends too much money as it is, instead of other stuff. If POOLEE’S don’t download/delete it due to y’all coding. No one will have it and there goes a program that we could really use in this recruiting tough times. ### 1/5 — Created by a five year old *2023-05-12* The amount of times this app crashes only leads me to believe it was created by a five-year-old. Waste of time and space on your phone. Use Quora its way better and more accurate. ### 1/5 — Useless *2021-02-28* The kids don’t use it and it’s easier to find better workouts online. ICorps is the far better investment ### 1/5 — Pointless *2021-02-28, version 4.4.0* App is pointless, doesn’t provide useful tools, workouts, or knowledge compared to numerous better apps like Icorps or USA forces. ### 1/5 — Don’t know my registration code *2020-08-22, version 4.1.0* I tried to register but I don’t have a registration code. Who can give me one? ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Earn the title! *2025-06-03* Great app to prepare for Recruit Training ### 5/5 — Love it! *2022-12-10* So much easier all the info you ever need is right here. ### 5/5 — Pretty epic *2022-08-16* Wish I had this when I was in the pool, the wave top info is great, and you HAVE TO JOIN if you want to know more. It’s great for poolees, and recruiters alike to communicate, and get things accomplished towards preparation. ### 5/5 — Usefulness *2021-02-10* This app is very useful for preparing for Physical and Educational part before official PT. With that being said, is there a way to actually update ship date? ### 5/5 — Great app *2019-11-22* Would be nice if it kept me logged in. But lots of useful info for sure ### 5/5 — Amazing App *2019-06-09, version 2.6.1* As a Poolee it’s an amazing asset! ### 5/5 — Registration code *2019-05-23, version 2.6.1* I’m a poolee and I haven’t got my code yet, how long does it take? ### 5/5 — Quiz *2019-03-28* I had a problem with a quiz of ranks that marked me incorrectly but is in the correct order ### 5/5 — Registration Code *2019-03-10, version 1.0.4* I am currently a Poolee and I need a registration code. ### 5/5 — Registration Code *2019-02-21, version 1.0.4* I also am a Recruiter and need a code --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
