BEFORE YOU BUY ANOTHER BOARD STUDY APP ASK YOURSELF: 1. Does it offer over 3,700 questions across 48 subjects customizable for your board? Our app contains thousands more than some other apps. You don't have to study all 3,700+ questions but they are there for you if you want. 2. CAN YOU GRADE YOURSELF? Seriously! Many board apps don't even allow you to grade yourself. You can't look at your test scores for each subject because they don't even keep score. 3. Does it have an advanced learn engine that tracks questions seen/unseen, answered correctly/incorrectly, and then dynamically creates your tests accordingly? 4. Does it provide BOTH a casual study mode AND a test mode? 5. Does it provide AUDIO? 6. Are you able to SEE your study and test PROGRESS for ALL lessons at a MERE GLANCE? 8. Can you customize your tests with adjustable question counts and subjects? This is a comprehensive guide addressing the common Army promotion board topics - over 40 subjects. Information was taken directly from Army regulations, Army doctrine reference publications (ADRPs), Army doctrine publications (ADPs), field manuals, technical manuals, training circulars, and pamphlets. All the study material is in question/ answer/ flashcard format. Hyperlinks are used in the larger sections to help better facilitate the blocks of information. In addition, to help support some of the question/answers, notes are provided throughout along with Helpful Hints to aid in memory recall. ForceReadiness.com is not affiliated with the US Army.

Infantry Platoon by New School Army totally rebuilt for 2025! This app, serving infantry platoons for almost a decade, is our second installment in the Infantry App series covering Infantry doctrine at the Platoon Level. We took ATP 3-21.8 Infantry Rifle Platoon and Squad's 596 page manual and broke it into 37 sections for easy study and reference. Every section is exportably to PDF for your platoon level training needs. We've also got over 600 Flash Cards created from the doctrine. These are broken down by the sections of the doctrine (Attack, Defense, Recon, Patrols...) and a massive infantry terms flashcard set because words mean stuff and we need to know all the words. We threw in these extras just in case you bought this app and didn't buy the first Infantry app: Packing Lists - Create and distribute detailed packing lists for any mission. Build standard templates, conduct pre-combat checks, and ensure your unit is ready to roll. Share lists instantly with your team. War Journal - Every infantry platoon needs one, we've got yours in the app. FEATURES THAT MATTER: - Zero cloud dependency - your data stays on your device - No account required - download and execute - Built-in sharing for all PDFs Perfect for Squad Leaders, Platoon Sergeants, and Platoon Leaders who need reliable, offline access to tactical references and training management tools. - New School Army

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: PROmote at every 4 months against Infantry Platoon's every 55 months. PROmote also leads on chart position (#13 vs unranked). Infantry Platoon's advantage is price ($0.99 vs $5.99) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
