I come from a family of Vets. Between my Dad, my brothers & myself, we've served in every branch of the US Military except the USCG. To get a better feel for this app, I chose an initial branch, scanned through all the ranks, then took a quiz. Maybe ½ of the questions did NOT offer the correct answer to the question: both the O & E ranks were jumbled, not matching anything in the multiple choices. As a test, I chose the rank CLOSEST answer & was surprised & miffed to discover that this app considered those answers correct.
This app was a bitter disappointment & left me feeling like the developer didn't didn't care about the subject and was only interested in exploiting the military. Unless/until this app is properly redone, I encourage everyone to steer clear of this app.

I am sorry you feel so strongly about this app.
First, we thank you and your family for service. That is amazing that you have all the branches except Coast Guard covered - in our families, we are missing coverage in the USAF.
Second, members of our development team have worked in and with the military for over 20+ years, so we absolutely do care about the military and are supporting those who serve. We will never exploit the military.
It would be more helpful if you can use the Feedback in the app to send the developers screenshots of the roughly 50% quiz inaccuracies your experiences. If you do this, we will surely respond and see if about any remedies.
Since PocketRank has been released on the App Store, we have only had 2 incidences where a PocketRank user thought their answers were not marked correctly. So after a few emails back and forth, both of PocketRank users realized the answer in the app was correct - they wrote that they learned something.
Again, thank you for your service and a strong review of our App. We want to hear more to improve this for you and all.
This is a great time as we are in the process of expanding the app for release this Fall
