What's New
You can now sort your saved publications in the library — find what you’re looking for faster, your way. Loading states now appear when opening bookmarks and detail views, so the app always feels responsive while content loads. Under the hood, I’ve made networking, downloads, and app launch more reliable.

User Reviews
Although it’s great, the dress and appearance section never works. I’ve had the app for months now, I’ve updated it and everything several times, I pay for it, still doesn’t work. Other sections glitch as well where it won’t answer the question.
This app is so helpful to have all AFIs at your fingertips. Thank you!
I’m a little bummed that the chat feature is buggy- otherwise a solid app
I tried using it today and only got error messages on every prompt I attempted.
It’s really fluid, easy to use, and most importantly UP-TO-DATE!
I use this platform as a Flight Chief and when I fill in as SEL. It helps me research a program quickly as well as provides quick access to our standards and discipline. The search feature is solid and I love the highlighting capabilities. I do caution the use of the chat function. Ever so often it will give a false message on how the regulation reads. So when you do use it make sure you double check it before referencing it to your troops or putting it in a Staff Summary Sheet. Overall, I’m very pleased with this app and hope it continues to receive support funding and upgrades.
App used to be great but it seems like every time they push an update it just breaks something else. I currently have no AFI library and it just says I don’t have any favorites saved. Which I do, but that’s besides the point, I’m not trying to look at my favorites. I might as well just delete the app and stick to surfing epubs on a browser.
Of a huge installation security program in the early 2010s
This new version is amazing! So many pubs instantly accessible! Also ChatAFI is great! Now I can get simple answers about regs instead of scrolling through thousands of pages! This app is a must have for any Air Force member!
It won’t load! When I select a pub it just gives me the wheel of death! It used to work great, but now it is useless.
