5/5Useful, Informative, and Easy to Use
I used to purchase relatively expensive annually updated printed manuals regarding CCW laws when traveling out-of-state while armed. With this app though, one can have all of the information that is necessary to stay within the boundaries of the law while traveling in this far less-expensive, easy-to-use and easy-to-carry format. The interface is simple and clear, with state reciprocity features and individual state laws categorized nicely for fast reference. Actual detailed text of each state’s laws are included, for those who want to read more deeply into specifics. In recent times in our culture, we are hardly ever without our phones on ourselves; so as we carry our firearms for protection, we are also not likely to ever be without the information that we need to be aware of local relevant laws, wherever we might happen to go in the United States, with this app. I did have an initial hiccup upon downloading this app regarding the subscription claiming to have already been expired even though I was a new customer, but Ryan gave swift and effective customer service after sending him a quick message through the app, and everything looks great now! Highly recommended for the conscientious concealed carrier!

5/5Stop looking for a CCW app. You found it.
I don’t write reviews for apps, I just don’t, but this one was worth it. Fantastic app to stay updated on all states and territories of the US firearm laws whether permitted or not. The apps design is simple and easy to use, you can put your permitted states into a generator and the app then color codes which states you are allowed to carry in, after that you can read all pertinent laws from these states. Before this app I tried to use search engines to find out the laws of my state and the ones surrounding but going from site to site was not anywhere near the convenience of this app. A LEO showed this app to me, so I got it and other apps affiliated with this one (posted and historical documents). Yes you have to pay for them but all 3 are 100% worth it. The creator of this app does not ignore questions and concerns that get emailed to him and will do the best he can to fix the issue you have.

5/5Excellent, no frills
I have been looking for quite a while for a website that does what this app does. There are one or two, and none are both accurate and adequately designed. This app does everything I need. If the UI feels a little outdated I can only assume that’s because all of the effort is being put into the outstanding level of up to date information available in the app, and done so in the most usable way possible. Really well done app in every way that matters, I can’t say I want anything more. Great work, I am happy to pay a few bucks every two years for this reliable and convenient guide

3/5A good start but not quite prime time yet
I was looking for an app that can be used across multiple iOS devices without having to re-key information. The app meets that criteria but has some issues that I hope will be solved in future releases because so far I like the app even with the issues I found. I prefer to do the data entry on my iPad and track by training sessions on my iPhone. The following are my initial observations after using the app for about an hour. I transferred all the information on my firearms, permits and some of my training sessions. There are two resident permits for Illinois but there is only one entry so I had to use the non-resident for the second. It does not have a complete inventory of firearms and ammunition. How could you not have an entry for a Ruger 10/22? It’s very handgun oriented. I am also an avid Olympic Pellet shooter which is ignored. I wish they would allow you the freedom to enter what is not in the inventory rather than just “OTHER “. I attempted to add photographs of my firearms several times and the app just terminated. When I tried to delete a firearm, it didn’t happen immediately and I had to log out and log back in to delete the firearm. I used the note section to keep track of purchase price. I wish It had the ability to add photos to your training sessions.

1/5Purchased-Then became Subscription
It’s a shame many of these apps say one thing; but really don’t mean it. (i.e. say they are for protecting 2nd Amendment rights and want you to be secure and safe, then just turns into a money making project). When I bought it, there was no subscription. Now, you want trickle and dollar us every year. You have a price we bought, multitudes of us bought it, and now you’ve turned into the money grubbing thieves we all despise. Why don’t you try saying, “We don’t give a damned about your 2nd Amendment rights; just buy our product with an annual fee.” See how many people really trust your judgement . As with all things, it no longer becomes a belief when you put almighty dollar in front of your initial great effort. We law abiding citizens seem to get coming and going; you’re no different than politicians who will say anything to get what they want. For those who say it’s just a .99 cents. You’re part of the problem. You can’t do wrong to do right.
