Army Leader's Book (LB) is designed to keep track of your Soldiers' important, but non-sensitive, information in order to better lead them and maintain their readiness. LB can track your Soldiers' APFT/ACFT, Weapons, Body Composition, Training and MedPros dates and data. You can track absences and LB automatically calculates your daily PERSTAT.
Other sections include:
- PERSTAT to track leave, TDY, and other absences
- Appointments
- APFT Stats
- ACFT Stats
- Profiles
- Body Composition
- Weapon Stats
- Flags
- Rating Scheme
- MedPros
- Training (AR 350-1 and more)
- Equipment (weapons, optics, masks, assigned vehicles)
- Military License info and qualifications
- Duty Roster
- Taskings
- HR Actions
- Counselings
- Working Awards
- Working Evaluations
- An Alert Roster
- Post Directory and other important phone numbers
- Notes
- Creeds, NCO Charge, NCO Vision, Army Song, Army Values, Code of Conduct, Oath of Enlistment, and Promotion Verbiage
With all this information, security is certainly a concern. LB uses a Google cloud database service called Firestore to store the data. Firestore has an impeccable record for data security and encrypts data en route to the server and on the server as well. LB also has additional security rules so only you can see your data. That being said, it is important that you get permission from your Soldiers (and have them sign a Privacy Act Statement) to input their information in LB and don't put any more information than they are comfortable with. The only required fields in all of LB are Rank and Last Name.
A premium subscription is available for $1.99 per year that allows you to upload information via Excel files, download data to PDF to help build a hard-copy leader's book, and removes ads.
So I’ve been back and forth trying to decide between this app and the Army Leader Book app and it’s so annoying because this one has basically everything you need but is not as intuitive and has a few bugs. —-Issues—- 1. Putting in Run Time doesn’t calculate score and because you can’t manually input score or even total score your screwed. 2. I’m stuck having to login with full password every time as face identity wont log in. 3. There doesn't seem to be a way to export a Soldier complete profile. I want a simple way to export a PDF with everything from range quals to appointments. 4. They need a better and separate app settings system and the ability to link you Apple ID or whatever else to your main account.
Everything looks great but

There should be a way to create a group and allow leaders to just be able to edit singular items instead of sharing. There may be. Also, iPhone for changing dates is a little wonky but otherwise the app works out great. Kudos to whomever made this.
Great app and very helpful!

I’ve had this app for the past half year and it has since improved a lot. I like that it has all of the major details needed of a Soldier. Now, when it comes to design the app is good; however, I have iPhone and if I turn on “Dark Mode” in the app it’ll make all text black making it really hard to read. So, a light color font would be a great fix.
Developer Response
Thank you for the review and that's a valid criticism. I'll work on updating the contrast for Dark Mode.
So far so good

Has all of the necessary tools to track your soldiers needs and help keep your squad squared away. I prefer having everything tangible at my fingertips on paper, but this makes it easy to keep a running record that can easily be updated and saved to add to my actual leaders book later
