WHY A SURVIVAL STUDY GUIDE? Because the first time you need a survival app can't be the first time you use a survival app!
Think about that for a moment. Can you count on having your mobile device in a real survival situation? Does it have a full battery charge? Was it damaged in an accident? Was it submerged in water? In a real survival situation you will be under tremendous stress. Is that really the time to use an app for the first time? This app is designed to help you become familiar with basic survival skills BEFORE you need to use them. It is the only survival app presented as a study guide. It contains 800 flashcard questions! You can track both your study and test progress at a mere glance.
This app is perfect for studying survival "15 minutes at a time." You do not have to worry about keeping track of what you have or have not studied. The app tracks that for you.

veary helpful! on life
Downloaded this because of the dev's replies to bs comments. Pretty legit, no scams. What I read of the Army survival course is the same exact things I learned while I was in. Might get the others to see how the Marines do their stuff.
Pretty much downloaded for the devs responses. I have the exact manual the army uses, and so from what I've seen its the same. As some others have commented, civis need to either take this as is or enlist.
I really like this app. The ability to stop & pick up where you left off beats other apps of FMs. Quizzes are nice too allowing you to retain information. I wish they did other FMs of "field skills" like Land Navigation.
Its a great app it just wont let me type on the tests and quizzes
Great app. As stated the army guide is free. The other 3 are only .99 cents for all 3. You can't beat that with a stick! Don't believe any of the bad reviews. "Horrid" ?? Who the hell uses that word?
it is great it is better then my reprint fm 21-76
Best app ever!
Here goes everything......and it is a keeper
Straight from the FM.
What caught my eye was the Dev responding to an idiot that called this app a scam. Gets 5 stars just for that. Having a Dev that speaks english is a plus. I'm prior service, was a Medic, and did desert and sea survival. So I'll critique this again after I go through the whole thing. The first thing I checked out was signaling... So far so good.
Your poisonous plants are about 80% wrong and mostly covers plants found in europe, asia and the tropics. The other information isn't totally useless, but you left out major details in your cold weather survival. If someone was to just go out with this guide. Thier cold weather survival would be very questionable.
I've only got through the first two sections, but I can already tell you that this is an awesome resource for noobs or preppers wanting to be better prepared. 5 stars for the people who chose to help civilians by releasing an app actually worth while. Thank you from a mother of 6 worried S is about to HTF.
So helpful , being a survivalist myself I read and research as much as possible to give myself the best chances in the woods on fishing hunting or camping trips, even myself someone who is highly experienced with survival situations learned a lot from this app. Anyone who isn't familiar with the outdoors will benefit greatly from this app. Its easy to use, diagrams help greatly and this could definitely save your life if you take just a little bit of time to read through it and familiarize yourself with it
As far as the content it seems great, cant say whether or not its 100% accurate or not, havent tried everything in it but Id be willing to rely on it. However, i recently was in Dillingham, AK and it wouldnt let me open the app because i wasnt near any sort of network and it couldnt verify the license or something like that. It was surprising to find I couldnt use it somewhere it would be most useful.
This is a great app there's only two problems I have with it. Can't find a diagram section where its just diagrams and instructions would save a lot of time teaching certain things. Many, many things are over or under explained or just buried in useless rantings and unrelated facts or remarks. It needs to be more concise and straight to the important facts. Possibly a more detailed index.
As mentioned, this manual does NOT cover all the bases, that's why the military has more manuals on the subject. -1 star for not publishing the other relevant manuals. Reply to Dev: Hey, if you're trying to pay your mortgage by re-publishing free manuals, knock yourself out. You might want to study the subject matter first though. There are various other manuals for different climates, desert, arctic, jungle and etc. Look it up.
Being prior military myself I can say that this covers the absolute basics, semi-advanced tips and techniques for survival. It is well read, easy to follow and allows you to test your newly acquired knowledge in exam form. If you're looking for anything else, join the military or purchase yourself several survival guides. For being completely free AND not requesting any ridiculous permissions from your phone, I'd highly suggest this app for anyone wanting to newly learn or refresh their memory with this.
I got the SAS survival book in my bug out. But I also wanted one to read where ever with out taking up much room.What better then having one on your phone.So sence I had already bought the SAS. I was hoping it let me install the app for free well I was wrong.So I said screw it! So here I am. This app It's simple, easy to read and very informative. I typically don't write reviews even if I like an app.However a previous comment tried saying this was a scam and that's simply just not true!
This app is either fatally flawed OR A COMPLETE AND TOTAL SCAM. When you launch it, you get a pretty cover screen, then this FREE APP says it can't verify your user licence agreement so it REDIRECTS YOU TO BUY THE APP!!!! SCAM CITY!!! This happened on a Kyocera Rise operating Android 4.0.4 but it happened on another device as well so it doesn't appear to be my phone malfunctioning. CAN YOU IMAGINE NEEDING THIS SURVIVAL INFORMATION IN A LIFE THREATENING SITUATION AND BEING D1CKED AROUND WITH LIKE THIS???
Though interesting and useful in the realms of finding shelter and water, I can't give a recommendation to anyone serious about needing a survival guide. The plant ID isn't right - while the decriptions are correct, a few of the pictures do not match the actual plants. IE: Amaranth does not bear large green fruit, and I'm fairly sure Asparagus isn't a tree. It's downright dangerous to have incorrect photos when trying to identify edible plants.
Had no installation or open issues. It's exactly as promised, a basic survival trainer. I look forward to the reviews and tests. Hope to learn something new and brush up on my out of date skill set. Thanks for this!
I was in the British Army for 7 years and got this app just to brush up on stuff I might have forgotten over the years. Happy I did. Thanks for this.
So 5 months after i post it wasnt free you want to reply? And in a passive aggressive manner, why not simply say it was to make sure it was downloaded from Google play? Good luck guys! Thanks for taking the time to reply on such short notice.
Good app Pal, but how to read this guide if you stuck in the middle of tropical jungle and your battery just 6%
If you spend any time outdoors this is a must-have application. Contains a lot of excellent information presented in a straightforward, clear and concise manner. I also like the study quide format of this app. One of the best free apps you'll ever find, and the fact that there are no ads is the icing on the cake.
Have to pay for the lessons, paid app screw that.
