### 3/5 — Needs update

*2019-08-09, version 1.5*

Awesome app for us MG’s but desperately needs an update for new DODDACs

### 3/5 — Great Reference but Needs updates

*2019-08-05, version 1.5*

This is a great tool for Ammo managers, Range OIC/RSOs and distro personnel.  However, it is years out of date and need to be updated with current DODICS, such as DA71, AB86, AB79, etc.  any plans for bringing this up to date?

### 3/5 — UN number?

*2016-08-01, version 1.5*

Great app just needs the UN number included and it will be perfect! Hopefully it will be included in the next update!

### 2/5 — Reinstall

*2015-11-18, version 1.5*

I had the same crashing issue but I uninstalled the app and then reinstalled it and it works again! You will lose any favorites you had saved though.

### 2/5 — Crash

*2015-11-06, version 1.5*

The app is crashing after the new update ver. 1.5. Trying to open the app but it IMMEDIATELY crashes. It's a very useful app while I'm at work. Our operations office uses the DODICS listed due to military training at our live fire and maneuver ranges. Please FIX!!!

### 4/5 — Good resource

*2015-04-09, version 1.04*

Good resource for conducting compliance inspections.  The only recommendation for improvement would be to include photos of the items in addition to the packaging and hazard class data

### 4/5 — Def worth it

*2015-01-16, version 1.04*

Its free. It works, wish it had every spec like the swo20acsaf has.

### 2/5 — Why doesn't it have the compatibility chart or checker?

*2013-06-03, version 1.02*

What's the point of this app or looking up compatibility groups if it doesn't have the compatibility chart built into the app? A function that would allow me to choose multiple DODIC's and automatically tell me in they are compatible or not would be awesome. It would allow me to more safely and quickly decide how many trucks I need to plan for. Meanwhile, this app won't really help me with anything other than flipping through the book to check the groups. Good start, but missing features and has room to grow.

### 4/5 — AMMO

*2013-03-13, version 1.02*

This was my saving grace for an unexpected FSCX. My HHG hadn't arrived with my regs and much needed yellow book. This helped a lot!

### 3/5 — It'll do

*2012-09-30, version 1.01*

It's a lot easier to do the initial search for hazard classes than flipping through the fine print of the actual book. If it included a automatic hazard compatibility function I'd be willing to pay for the app. But as is I'm glad I have it.

Not happy with the app that now never opens due to immediate crashing!!! Please fix soon!!!!!

### 1/5 — Very useful app, at least was...

*2015-11-16, version 1.5*

I've used this app extensively in the past but find it unusable after the last update.

### 1/5 — Nooooooo!!

*2015-11-16, version 1.5*

FIX IMMEDIATELY! After the new update, the app instantly closes itself after opening it. I use this app almost every everyday and I'm very disappointed.

### 1/5 — Crash Factor

*2015-11-07, version 1.5*

It was a perfectly functional app in the field until the current update. Now it crashes repeatedly rendering it useless.

### 1/5 — App Crashes

*2015-11-05, version 1.5*

The app crashes continuously since today's update.

### 1/5 — Latest update

*2015-11-05, version 1.5*

Just updated to the current version. The application crashes immediately after opening. Making the app unusable. iOS 9.1

### 1/5 — Update1.5 makes the app crash

*2015-11-05, version 1.5*

After a long time without an update, I updated to v1.5 and the app crashes and is unusable. Back to the paper copy.

### 1/5 — Broken with new update

*2015-11-05, version 1.5*

With this update the app will not open. It was simple and helpful before the update.

### 2/5 — Yellow book is average

*2017-05-05, version 1.5*

Updates and missing DODIC make this app frustrating.

### 2/5 — Crashing

*2015-11-19, version 1.5*

This app keeps crashing after opening it every time. I have tried over 15 times to access the app.

### 5/5 — 2sick

*2021-08-23, version 2.0.0*

Super Duper sick app yo

### 5/5 — A much needed update

*2019-09-11, version 2.0.0*

Thank you so very much 🙏

### 5/5 — Essential app, works great!

*2017-05-07, version 1.5*

Great app! Must have for anyone who's going to be doing ranges as OIC/NCOIC without access to a computer. Helpful for those in-a-pinch questions too! Great app, no crash issues to note!

### 5/5 — Be a logistics hero

*2017-02-17, version 1.5*

I use this to answer random questions about ammo I get from dumb scouts. I always sound like a certified stud when I rattle off nomenclature

### 5/5 — Crash fix

*2016-04-15, version 1.5*

Delete and redownload and it will fix your crashing issues. Love this app use it all the time at work.

### 5/5 — Great App, A++++

*2015-02-10, version 1.04*

The app is very useful. I cross checked some NALC's and all of them matched. Good for on the fly look up of valid data.

### 5/5 — Compatability

*2014-08-28, version 1.04*

Too bad it doesn't have a comparability chart, i.e. Input 2-3 DODICs and it checks compatibility. Would make on the fly ammo requests a lot easier.

### 5/5 — Great Resource!!

*2013-11-22, version 1.03*

This app is a great aid for Ammo Dogs!

### 5/5 — Great app

*2013-01-17, version 1.02*

Not to bad. It's there when I need it and has just about everything for an ammo dog!

### 4/5 — Update

*2019-02-28, version 1.5*

Can we get an update or nah?
