I quit trying to get this to work

I’d rather do V-ups alone in front of my entire battalion while the CSM screams and spits in my face for 10 hours straight than to spend another minute trying to get this app to work.

I’d rather be in front leaning rest without any authorized rest position for three straight days than to spend another minute trying to get this app to work.

I’d rather drive a spike through my foot, leave it there, and do an extended Norwegian Foot March inside a volcano than to spend another minute trying to get this app to work.

I have not been able to get a single show, sports game, or movie to play but I have, usually within 5 minutes of opening the app, been able to exceed my session limit. The app today just stopped loading categories and is just blank after it opens. I have never been able to get a movie to open. It has been frustrating and bothersome. No matter what the internet speed is that I am connected to it is the same problem. Stop advertising this on AFN OCONUS and getting our hopes up that we may be able to watch something and feel even slightly connected to home. All that happens is failure and frustration.

F is for failure

The AFN app has been a major letdown. It consistently fails to function properly, making it difficult for service members like myself to access the content we need. Whether it's news, entertainment, or critical updates, the app simply doesn't work as advertised. For soldiers stationed overseas, reliable information and entertainment are crucial, yet this app falls short on all fronts.

From frequent crashes to sluggish performance, it feels like little effort has been made to ensure a smooth user experience. Instead of offering the support and connection we need, the app has become a source of frustration. Unfortunately, it doesn’t serve its purpose for those in the field, where reliability and accessibility are paramount. AFN can and should do better for the troops.

I wish I could select (-) stars

There’s nothing quite like staying up till 4 am to watch football and feel connected to home while stationed overseas. Especially when it takes you 7 business to open and close the app to finally have the games load. You then will wait another 8 business days until the game is loaded and ready to play. Once you finally settle down to start watching, the wonderful buffer wheel will spin for 56 minutes. Eventually you will see one commercial where a sergeant major yells at you for not utilizing your TA benefits. Sunday football turns into internal screaming self inflicted punishment. 🫡
