Keep up the work! - 5 stars - October 13, 2009
Just wanted to drop in to say this app has been extremely helpful for me. Keep up the great work!
The quintessential pocket military handbook - 5 stars - October 9, 2009
There are quite a few military apps popping up, each with some small slice of what USMH offers right out of the chute. I am a constant user of the USMH tools as a future soldier I have found this app to be an invaluable reference guide and quick source for technical information. I've also had the pleasure of having some insightful correspondance with USMH's creator, and can tell you- there are even more in-depth guides, lists, charts, and helpful functions in development. This app is the original and the best, and it's features continue to expand with each new release! A must have for all new a future Soldiers, Marines, Sailors and Flyboys. Keep up the great work Al!
Absolutly amazing - 5 stars - September 30, 2009
but howcome i dont have the news feeds?is there a nrw update coming out? or is it only for certain devices? otherthan that i love this app. well worth the 10 bucks.
Very good - 5 stars - September 21, 2009
This application is very interesting and informative. I am joining the army and this app has been very useful. I noticed it didn't have info on the Airborne creed so I wrote to the developer through a very convienient link in the app and they responded very quickly giving the creed and promising it to be on the next update. Very impressed! Two thumbs up.
Needs accurate fitness calc - 3 stars - September 15, 2009
The Air Force fitness calculator isn't accurate. Height, weight, and BMI need to be added to the mix (along with high altitude testing) if you want an accurate score. What gives? Why do it if you're not going to do it right?
