What killer app hasn't been made for U.S. Army Soldiers that should have been made already? What kind of functions would be in the app? I create apps in my spare time, I'm not lacking for ideas but would like some input from the field. Currently I'm working on a DA Forms filler app and an Army Quiz Game app with an Army wide scoreboard.

I would love an app that would let me access .mil email on a normal smartphone. A local security token can be downloaded to ensure that my email can be checked only on my own specific device and combine it with a PIN, therefore achieving the same intent of limiting access through a CAC. This would help make communication among leaders of some units much more effective.

I figure if I can have a banking app, they can make one secure enough for you to check your email ;)

> Some frontend for google-level intelligence for queries relating to ALARACTS, MILPERS, and maybe even doctrine. "What are the regulations for this today?"
> An app that gives the right operational graphics I can draw freely with over some available maps (whatever MotionX uses?) and exports them as powerpoints to my .mil enterprise account in a real fast way... until we can get rid of powerpoint.

The CAC idea from MAJ Weiss and CW2 Castlen is crazy good too if anyone can manage to get the CAC/IT folks to agree to it. Then imagine if Soldiers could push/pull information from their phone app to a database on training they have going on, things coming up, stuff they've been tasked with, with alerts for all of that; you could even make a walkie-takie app or interactive contact roster app that's unit-centric.

I agree. Why should I be required to get a mobile CAC reader for my phone and iPad, so that I can stay current on email. After all I'm not always sitting at my desk!!!
