USMC Uniform App

Whoever did this had good intentions, but didnt execute properly. Somethings are off or incomplete. Whoever authored this needs to read the orders properly. Prime example, Officer Evening Dress states only general officers wear a white waist coat. When in fact any officer can wear the white waist coat when the event is a “white-tie.” Only the red waist coat can be worn by generals, while the red cummerbund is worn by colonels and below.

I am in Marine Corps JROTC and our marine instructor told us to download this app to help us get familiar with the uniforms. I downloaded it. Here’s what I think about it, I think it’s a very well made app. It doesn’t lag or anything, no bugs. The app is very self explanatory and it’s simple to use. The app has the female and male categories, along with enlisted and officer categories to distinguish which uniform is which. The app helps me learn how to wear the uniform properly and look squared away. Overall, 10/10 app. Keep it up.

The app is functional but lacks a lot of detail that anyone would expect. This is not an end all, be all app due to its over simplified interface and design. Proper pictures and explanations would make this app much better as the ones available do not suffice to explain how to properly wear everything in detail. Yes there are explanations and pictures that cover a lot. It would still be nice to have more depth. For example. The service alpha uniform section explains verbatim how to wear 2 shooting badges but fails to show you with a proper picture of how to wear them. It does explain but the whole reason for an app rather than a MCO is to dumb it down to a lower level. Why is there a photo of dress blues on the service alpha uniform section? These are basic standards for easy clarification but the dev clearly didn’t effort into. Overall I hate this app. It fails to do anything the order doesn’t say. Other than easy navigation to what you are looking for.
