Performance issues
A lot of bugs and performance issue. Crashed on me a couple times. Some screens are really hard to read with the contrast of the text with the background. Awesome content and analysis though.
Out of date?
I’m not sure if this app isn’t being updated anymore or if I need to sign in with a CAC to get access to more articles. As a phone app having to sign in with a CAC is kind of a hassle and I’m not even sure if doing that will even give me access to more and more recent articles or not. Seems like it would be a great app if it worked the way I think it’s supposed too!
App appears abandoned
This app seems to have been abandoned. It’s a beautifully designed news feed type app, with top-quality analysis and graphics. Sadly, it doesn’t seem like they’re adding content anymore. Sign-in doesn’t work, unsure what extras that would unlock anyway.
Cannot Register
I am a CAC holder and have yet to find a way to register for an account. I emailed the help line that I found via Google search in an article about this app and received an automated reply. How are we supposed to create an account? Other than this issue, the public content is fantastic.
How to login with CAC/PIV
see instructions in "Descriptions" section for how to log in with CAC/PIV - it tells you what steps to follow
What is the Tearline Server URL?
Where do I find the Tearline Server URL?
Meh
Decent app, but you can only really access main content if you have "government approval". IMO it's a bit unfair but eh, I like the design. 2/5 would not recommend. P.S.- add in an 8-bit game to satisfy your bored customers
