### 2/5 — Pathway app

*2025-09-13, version 2.8.0*

App is not standalone and only acts as a link to the website.  The website / app doesn’t support low network capabilities.  Held a recruitment event and the website kept crashing during member sign up

### 3/5 — Outdated content

*2022-01-07, version 2.4.3*

The app is exciting and should be useful for members to locate posts, recruit new members and receive news from National. Unfortunately the info is stale and outdated. Links to the 120th convention in 2019?  Please let me know who at National I can engage to suggest keeping the information current and stale.

### 1/5 — App Log On Broken

*2021-06-29, version 2.4.0*

Just downloaded the latest app update and it broke the log on process. I was able to log on prior to the update.

### 2/5 — ID.ME Support issue

*2021-05-29, version 2.2.0*

Found that since the upgrade I can no longer login via APP.  I can only login via web portal

### 1/5 — Good concept, doesn’t work

*2020-11-03, version 2.2.0*

It a good concept, but it doesn’t work, try to use it for 2 days and it will not recognize my troop ID..
Developers should fix it or delete it...

### 1/5 — Can’t even login

*2020-06-06, version 2.0.5*

Upon trying to login via TroopId. You’re presented with an alert saying that the app is unsuitable for a TroopID Login...

### 1/5 — Waste of time - doesn’t work

*2020-01-01, version 2.0.5*

Freezes during login - don’t bother

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work. Guess nobody’s fixing it.

*2019-12-31, version 2.0.5*

Well that was an awful lot of verification for an application that doesn’t do anything.
The last review was in August saying the same thing so I guess nobody is working on it.

### 2/5 — Ok app (update 9/16/19)

*2019-09-16, version 2.0.5*

The layout is cool. I haven’t really explored all the features. One I am having issues with is the “find a post” feature. Once I type in a location it just spins like it’s thinking about what to do. And then the app has a minor freeze where I have to exit out of it and go back in. Easy fix. Once I explore more of the features I’ll have a better idea on it.

Update 9/16/19

After spending more time exploring this app it’s not all that great. Most of the links just end up taking you to the website anyway. This is an issue as apps are supposed to be more convenient.

It would also be nice to have the biometric login option that a lot of other apps have. This would bring ease of access to people like me that can’t remember all of our passwords and logins all the time. 

The other issue is there is no link for “contact us” or a link for the VFW store. For this you still need to visit the website and navigate through it. Another easy fix as you bring the rest of the app up to par.

Many newer vets use their phones more often than a laptop or desktop, having access to VFW information through the app is important.

### 2/5 — Great Concept!

*2019-08-21, version 2.0.5*

This is a great concept if it worked properly. I gave up trying to use it and went to the website off my laptop. I downloaded this thinking it would be handy and easier, instead it’s frustrating because it doesn’t appear to work it should. Will most likely be deleting this app.

### 1/5 — Digital Wallet Doesn’t Work

*2019-08-14, version 2.0.5*

This app needs improvement.

### 1/5 — Log in doesn’t work

*2019-08-12, version 2.0.5*

When I log in I get a blank screen.

### 1/5 — Shame

*2019-08-07, version 2.0.5*

Tried to log in with ID.Me. It keeps saying "You are now returning to VFW" then it goes to a blank white screen. Cannot login any way I try. Maybe the VFW should take mine and everyone elses $45 membership fee and put it towards an app that is worthy of even downloading.

I am shocked and appalled that the VFW has not the decency to even reply to members feedback on this atrocious app. We gladly give our member fee to reap the benefits of using the app to see our membership and renew when it's time. Pitiful. Disgraceful and dishonorable to veterans. Needless to say I won't give the VFW any more of my money. I will reroute my funds to the DAV. Fix the issue or be prepared to lose many more members in the future.

### 1/5 — Needs Work

*2019-07-30, version 2.0.5*

Unable to login with either option from iPhone, just get a white screen. Even if select forgot username or password, I get “page cannot be found”. Wasted money on this app, as it’s had the same problems from a year ago to now. The app is even advertised in recent mailing.

### 1/5 — Not working

*2019-07-26, version 2.0.5*

I can’t get the app to open

### 2/5 — Log in doesn't work.

*2019-06-20, version 2.0.5*

When I log in the screen goes white/blank.

### 1/5 — App won't log in

*2019-06-15, version 2.0.5*

This app is not good. I log in and either get a blank screen or a server error. I am dismayed that a national organization cannot have a usable app

### 1/5 — Blank screen

*2019-03-13, version 2.0.5*

App will not allow sign in. Every time just goes to white screen.

### 1/5 — Commander of the Vfw

*2026-03-13, version 2.8.4*

I’m the commander. Numerous times I have tried to recruit from the app. I’m extremely inclined and using it properly. The app won’t let you select the state, the app is extremely faulty. Needs a lot of bugs fixed. Just to put it simply, it’s a complete waste of time. The app is useless in my opinion. Just call state and annoy them for recruiting bec this app only lets you get sent to the website…also needs fixed

### 1/5 — Horrible

*2025-08-28, version 2.8.0*

Won’t let me log in. No way to get help. Don’t waste time with this piece of junk.

### 1/5 — Not usable

*2025-04-18, version 2.8.0*

The app always crashes when I sign in.

### 1/5 — Can’t login with ID.me

*2025-03-17, version 2.8.0*

I would love to use the app, however as of 03/2025, when I verify with ID.me, it fails to redirect with the VFW app, stating a “server error.”

### 1/5 — App trash

*2024-06-14, version 2.5.7*

After reading a couple of positive reviews for this app. I can clearly tell that they are paid reviews. I been downloading this app from time to time over the last few years and each time no matter what I do it crashes with a server error. the VFW send so much information in the mail-that they should relax on it and use some of that funding to get this app fixed and then they may have better interaction with vets and members until then this app is absolutely trash

### 1/5 — Not functional

*2022-10-06, version 2.5.3*

Terrible- can’t get it to sign on. It crashes and goes back to the log in screen. You’d think with all of the money raised they could afford a decent developer.

### 1/5 — Unable to Authenticate with Troop ID via Google

*2022-09-30, version 2.5.3*

Unfortunately the app is not secure enough to pass the appropriate token through the single sign on google to troop.Id

“ Error 403: disallowed_useragent
You can’t sign in from this screen because this app doesn’t comply with Google’s secure browsers policy. If this app has a website, you can open a web browser and try signing in from there.

You can let the app developer know that this app doesn’t comply with Google’s secure browsers policy.

### 1/5 — Stuck in 1999 & out of touch with todays veterans needs

*2022-09-04, version 2.5.3*

Who’s great grandfather designed this app? I now see why none of the guys I served with want to join vfw - dying organization that isn’t keeping up with technology or what younger veterans want

### 1/5 — No Longer Works on iPhone 6

*2022-06-12, version 2.5.3*

This app no longer works on iPhone 6 despite indication to the contrary.

### 1/5 — It’s either insanely slow or just doesn’t work

*2022-06-10, version 2.5.3*

Couldn’t get anything to load. The things that did “load” were redirects to the website.

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — App had been refreshed

*2022-11-10, version 2.5.7*

A lot has changed with the app since the last review 4 years ago. I primarily use it for the digital ID but there are links and options that redirect you to the vfw.org website as necessary. If anything I’d like to see the digital IDs more widely accepted.

### 5/5 — VFW app

*2018-06-26, version 1.0.8*

This app has been useful to make my membership payments and very useful to keep abreast of the VFW movement and what it is involved with.

### 5/5 — Great App!

*2018-03-24, version 1.0.8*

Great app.   Found it to be very useful.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2017-09-10, version 1.0.8*

Works great for me!

### 5/5 — Nice!

*2016-11-23, version 1.0.7*

Nice app! The "find a post" option is quick and concise. Have already recommended this app to my Post Comrades.

### 5/5 — Awesome app for all

*2016-11-15, version 1.0.7*

This app is easy to use and gives quality information for all members of the Veterans of Foreign Wars to ensure our service members, Veterans, and their families all receive the benefits and support.

### 5/5 — Great app!

*2016-11-11*

Just downloaded this on Veterans Day to stay in touch. Thank you veterans for all you do!

### 5/5 — Membership in my pocket

*2016-11-11*

I love being able to access my membership benefits no matter where I'm at!

### 4/5 — Articles are up to date

*2023-09-13, version 2.5.7*

Based on previous reviews I went through to see if anything was enhanced. And all features have been updated. This can become a great platform.

### 4/5 — Wonderful app

*2018-06-12, version 1.0.8*

Only needs to remember my login credentials
