Very good
Excellent, needs some additional items, how about the Lahti pistol for example?
Good catalog, good info too.
Far more information is available via Wikipedia for pretty much all of the weapons listed. They only show one picture of the weapons (I'd like to see each side at the very least), the search is extremely limited, you can scroll through the list of weapons and find a SIG P210 for example, but a search on SIG or P210 returns nothing. The back button takes you straight out of the app, and the icons are barely legible on my Samsung S5 making navigation very tricky. Would not recommend.
First pay app that I've purchased that is glitched. Home screen bottom tabs are illegible and distorted, and search does not work. Tried reinstall- negative. Using HTC One 4.4.2. "Modern Weapons Small Arm's for iOS" is a benchmark for apps in this category. Fix glitch and I will gladly adjust my review accordingly. Simply too many mainstream firearms missing at this time... anxiously awaiting update to fix issues!
Horrible App dont buy wasted 3 bucks
Excellent guides! HTC Desire
If you like military small arms this is it! Although there is a lot more that should be added.
Good app needs videos to make it more intristing that should be the next update
Great app everything you need to know about almost any gun pretty accurate too
