We have incorporated all the feedback given to use from the users of version 2 into this brand new version 3 app. For those who were generous enough to share their thoughts please accept our thanks and more importantly take a look at what your contributions have allowed us to build for you.

We have been so grateful for your great ideas and even when you have pointed out something wasn't easy to find and yes, even those things that did not work. We have built in a way for you to tell us about any problems, this is found on the login screen and using this is now the fastest way to let us know if there is something not working correctly. Whilst we know some people have sought to alert us to issues using app store reviews - there is no automatic way for us to be told about those. If you have an idea that you think we might try or a feature we could include, please use the contact screen to get in touch.

So if you are part of the Defence Community, download the app and start saving today.

Ratings and reviews

Since update, the app has logged me out. When I finally got into the app and search for discounts nothing appears. It will also won't display digital card. The details on my physical card are different to the digital one. Update, had to fully remove from device, removed all data and then reinstall.

This is a very good app. but only if you can get into it. Often, when it updates, my login/password stops working. Attempts to reset (via an email link) just send you around in circles without success. Emails I send receive an automated response suggesting I log in and check FAQs! I sent an email 11th July explaining the problem. 22nd Jul I eventually received a response from a human and my password was successfully reset. Thank you.

I have used this app for a long time and it has been excellent. Since I updated it a few months ago it no longer accepts a biometric login. This unfortunately makes it pretty much useless. I've not removed it yet, but if it doesn't resolve soon, it will have to go.
