Army Ranger Handbook App Reviews

Honestly really well laid out app for anyone who is going to attend Ranger School or to just gain an overall knowledge of the history, tactics, and fundamentals of being a Ranger.

Straight out of the ranger handbook and with side notes. Could use the more basic battle drills too, but those aren’t in the ranger handbook either

This is a great reference guide for infantry tactics and operations. My only problem so far is in the machine gun emplacement introduction there is a picture of a soldier using an m14 type sniper rifle under the m249 heading. It would be great if this was fixed.

Definitely one of the most well organized apps for MIL ED I’ve come across so far. This app may not have everything the paper back does, but this gives you all of the important info that you’ll highlight and laminate in the book anyway.

This is an excellent RHB brief, but could be better; as our creed states, "100% and then some". As stated in previous review, some visuals would help exponentially, i.e., slides, vids, quizzes, PT log, voice recorder in-app for recitations, (creeds, cadences, etc.). Memory and practice tools for hand signals, emer sigs, et. al. By, R. Baker MSG (Ret.) -3rd BTN 75th RR Bravo Co.

Would like to see videos added as an update. Overall excellent app

As an Eagle Scout this App is something that would be useful and is similar to the BSA Field book.

Great app, lots of good legit content.

This app is good for a quick reference guide, but I noticed certain discrepancies between the official RHB and the app. At a quick glance I noticed Battle drill one is listed as react to contact rather than platoon attack and all the others are mislabeled as well. If these problems were fixed, I would definitely recommend buying the app

Very well organized and helpful.

I served 25 years in the Army 20 years as a Green Beret and am currently an instructor/ advisor/ lane / scenario developer for Special Forces and this is one of the best apps I've ever seen or used.

Easy to understand and great to prepare you if you are wanting to go to Ranger School

This APP met every criteria that I was looking for. Full of knowledge and more.

Needs a check on learning after every subjects, implementing videos demonstrating some of the movements and patrol subjects would be helpful for the more visual learners.

It's cool

Seems complete, well laid out, easy to use. Delivers as advertised. Theres another group of apps out there thats just a rip off. You can spot the rip offs because all the raters of the 'lite' version how enter 5 stars, posted all on the same day.

Most up to date version of the RHB. Easy to use and you can bookmark favorites for quick reference.

It's a great way to stay sharp. Bring in the guard it's an easy way to study and not lose any knowledge while I'm not training.

First!

Great for quick classroom training

Very useful!

I love the organization, the photos, and the overall user friendliness. This is really well made and a fantastic tool for any and every soldier, especially Infantry. One small tweak (but I bet not easy) for this to be an even more unbelievably great tool would be hyperlinks of definitions for all acronyms/abbreviations. Or someway to have a "previous page" button for when I search and go to the glossary, I can hit one button to go right back to where I was. Necessary? Probably not but that would really put this way over the top. 👍😁

did this dude really compare the RHB to the boy scouts? did u really think that was a logical comparison why dnt u think about stuff before u say it

Good app add videos and boom 5 stars

I love the book but it could've been 5 stars if there were demonstration videos

The app is pretty good. Some things are miss labeled but like someone said in an earlier post it would be an excellent app if these problems were fixed.

Very cool app..... Great to have it at you finger tip

Great tool

Great app you should try it

No doubt if you are buying this Handbook, you probably already have your pocket one close by. The odds are you won't buy this app to read the whole Handbook, because that's what the pocket one is for. But it's a great quick reference to have if you need a refresher. Coupled with the Knot Time app, my iPhone feels complete. I give it 4 stars even though you can sync a free Adobe version, because the layout and effects make it more of a pleasure to reference through. Good work. Now if you could create the iBook version to be like a virtual SH 21-76, then I'd be willing to give 5 stars and more $. But still a good app.
