Highly recommend. As a SNCO, I use this app all the time to help direct and lead my troops. Big kudos because I also got to look "supercool" infront of the new Squadron Commander - I was the only one in the leadership meeting that could pull up the Little Brown Book and find the reference he wanted.

Use to work great, but since the most recent update nothing will load. I cant even see the listing of publications now. UPDATE: Fixed, works like a charm! UPDATE on 08Feb24: The newest update has a bug. When I click on the publications tab the app crashes. - FIXED
