Ranger School Professional App Reviews

Video issues

The app no longer plays the videos for the different squad and platoon tactics even tho when I originally bought it was working fine. The link to the ranger handbook also does not work.

Help

Need help the videos are not opening for me idk if my app is glitched or not

All the videos are gone

The videos were the backbone of the app and they’re gone now

Absolute garbage

Little to no functionality, app wants to to keep buying for full info.

No videos

The videos stop from working

App broken

DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY !!! the app doesn’t work . None of the videos play anymore . You can literally find all this info on Google for free

No videos or quizzes

None of the videos or quizzes even show on my app, please help

Outdated and broken UI

Ranger, this app is unsat double hooah, volume doesn’t work on videos rah kill!

Great content, video sound

This has been a great tool in addition to the ranger handbook, but none of the sound works on any of the videos.

Defect

The videos on squad and platoon have no sound, making them essentially unusable.

No audio on the training videos

There is no audio on any of the training videos provided on the app please find a solution.

Not bad

Overall not bad, the only issues I see is that some links, specifically the ranger handbook, don’t work.

Top menu buttons not available

Would give 5 stars, but I cannot access the top menus. They’re partly on screen and one hides behind the front camera.

Great app, but sound sometimes doesn’t work

The app is full of great information and I thoroughly enjoy its content. However, the sound in some of the videos does not work. If the app were free I wouldn’t include that in the review, but since I paid for it I would appreciate if the issue could be resolved.

Cool App, but no sound on the videos?

Title.

Sound doesn’t work

This app was recommended to me by a couple people so I bought it but the sound does not play in the videos. Running an iPhone 11 Pro.

Buggy, but

It seems buggy, but mess around with it and it works. Ringer has to be on for the videos' audio to play. Back button doesn't work past one backwards, but just work around that by using the left-hand menu. Simple stuff to work around, content is there.

Audio Issue

Purchased the app. None of the videos have audio.

Faulty

The app is faulty and you can’t swipe the menu away after you select what you want to read. Needs to be fixed

Better then I thought

At first I was extremely frustrated because the sound didn’t work. Make sure you have your ringer turned on on the side of your phone and the sound will work. Some of the information from my understanding is a little outdated but I don’t know much about the new stuff. RLTW 🇺🇸

Good Info, poor performance

The app has good info for Ranger, however, the videos and app constantly crash. The claymore video is outdated as well. They no longer use the M57 firing device at RAP.

None of the Videos for RTTs work

BLUF: the app has not been updated in over a year, the videos don't work. Some things that i can access are outdated. Go buy yourself a 6 pack or a burrito for 7dollars.

Doesn’t work

Waste of money, videos refuse to load and no sound is heard. You’re better off just downloading a pdf of the ranger handbook somewhere online and studying that.

Ok App

Great content. Needs to have bugs fixed for iPhone 11. I can’t hear the audio for the videos. But the content seems to be consistent with the Ranger Handbook. Also have to exit the app to go to other portions because the screen is cut off at the top. Once fixed I will give an updated review. Until then if you have an iPhone 11 don’t waste your money.

Great info, video audio doesn’t work unless ringer is off silent

Unable to get the videos to have audio on iPhone XR without turning the ringer off silent, very strange bug. You also have to constantly swap between portrait and landscape to go between pages. Otherwise the info is amazing

No sound on videos

I must purchased this app. The sound does not work on any of the videos.

No Audi for videos

None of the video has sounds. Could you please check it? Only this App has problem with playing sounds.

Doesn’t work.

The app has a ton of information and videos. However, the videos don’t load AT ALL and I have excellent connection. No excuse for them not to work it’s just an in-app function that doesn’t work. Can’t even get a refund.

Great app/Needs update

Great app and I would recommend to everyone for not only attending ranger school, but for general knowledge. However, it is hella out dated. Y’all are getting paid enough per purchase of the app to simply make new videos of the current requirements from ranger school.

Outdated

All machine gun and claymore RTTs are outdated

Good

Great content but wish the videos had sound. Not sure if it’s an issue with the iPhone X or an app issue. Also cannot use the menu buttons, have to exit and reenter app to navigate to something different

No volume

Great app but I have NO audio

Fix the videos

Half of the videos have absolutely no sound

Meh

Great content, but it does not format to my iPhone XR, I have to close the app completely if I want to go back to the Home Screen.

Good base line for school

Like the title says this app is a good base line. It could use an update but I’m sure the RIs that put this together are well detached from the school house now. Claymore is now non-electric initiation for an example. But none the less it’s a well built app. Controls for navigation of the app need fixing would be a good update as well. RLTW.

Sound on videos doesn’t work

Sound on all the videos doesn’t work, making the app useless

Try turning ring/silent switch to “ring” if audio isn’t working

Outstanding app. As I mentioned in the title, try turning your phone off mute if the audio doesn’t seem to be working. That seems to be what the majority of the negative reviews are about.

So, so

I have an iPhone 10x, not one of the videos have working audio. Other than it not... working this is a cool app

Back button doesn’t work

Great app but can we get an update so it will work on iPhone 11? The back button doesn’t work and it is way at the top of the screen. Only way to go back to previous menu is through closing and reopening the app.

Great info, no sound on videos.

This has been a great app for me in the past for giving classes to my joes, but now none of the videos have sound.

Sound does not work on any videos

This app has good quality information and definitely teaches you what you need to learn about RTTs, R20 boards, knots, and some extra tips; however, the volume doesn't work on any of the videos so I have to teach myself through just visual learning...it’s upsetting that a $7 app has this issue. I even contacted the support over a month ago but no response or solutions..

Sound doesn’t work, seems like a good idea of an app

The app is a little clunky in design, the menus don’t always work and sometimes I have to completely close the app to get to the home screen. The sound on the videos doesn’t seem to work—tested my volume in other apps and they worked—uninstalled and reinstalled the app but still no sound. Lots of good information but I can’t get to it all without the videos. **update: the menus don’t work when holding my phone in portrait, but I discovered landscape makes it possible. Hopefully, the update fixes the spacing in portrait. Sound works when my phone ringer is not on silent, that just means adapting to all the noise interruptions from messages. Now that I found a way to get the menus to work, it’s a much better experience.**

Great content, marginal functionality

Good info, great videos to get a baseline understanding. I would recommend to anyone needing to obtain this information in conjunction with reading the Ranger handbook. For non infantry types this is a great resource. I have an iPhone11 base model and the “menu” and “back” function do not work located at the top of the screen. This is due to the function buttons being cut off at the top of the screen and not in a location of the screen that is selectable. I have to close the app every time I want to explore a different section of it.

Sound doesn’t work

This is a great app, however it likes to crash, and the sound for the 20 boards don’t work. Please update.

For people that want that ranger tap!!!

I got me this app couple days ago , I did learn really good stuff in just 4 days , I love the app so far. I had a hard time trying to open the videos on my iPhone 8 so had to email their customer service and they work with in a very professional way . They help me to fix my problem in less than a hour and they even offer to send me a link where I could see the videos on internet if my problems happen to continue. They price is really good , I mean let’s be honest just the ranger hand book is $10 , they are giving you the book , tips and videos of everything. Really hope one day come back an share with u that I got my tap thanks to this App.

GET IT!

I have encountered no technical errors or bugs either with the app, it works perfectly for me. I just got in minutes ago and can tell you there are hours upon hours upon hours upon hours upon hours upon hours worth of content. Do yourself a favor... Buy it.

Nothing Works

This app has great material...if it worked. Not a single video or bit of information will actually play in the app. Completely out of date and 100% useless.

Needs Updated for newer Phones

The content of this app is fantastic. This worked well with my older phone. When I got an XR, things got complicated. The sound doesn’t work in many of the videos and the links don’t always work. You can see the “back” arrow, but it doesn’t always work. The app will also freeze and you have to kill it. I would like to see this update so I can use this app as a tool to study and teach.

Please fix audio on videos

Great content but the audio does not work on the videos. I have tried uninstalling the app and numerous other solutions with no results.
