GUNSTRUCTION

I was told yesterday about this app by my buddy, who is a avid gun enthusiast like myself, and I have to say, I am very impressed. I’ve always loved apps that let me customize guns, but they rarely had the option to buy what you built, if they did, there weren't a lot of options. This solved that by including a great amount of products to choose from. On top of that, it lets you know if said products are compatible or not, which is fantastic. I definitely bought the full version so I could make multiple builds, I feel it was worth the $2.99. That being said, it’s 100% perfect, but nothing is. There are a few things that I saw that were off, like putting a flashlight attachment on some of the rails would look like the textures are clipping, which would mean it wouldn’t work on the real thing without moving it. Also there was some weird thing going on when putting some of the fore grips on, it would say it’s not compatible, even if was in the middle of the rail, but then I moved it slightly and it would work. Also when putting some attachments on a modular rail, it would clip through but still attach. Small things in my opinion and certainly not stopping me from using it. Love it and hope they add more products to work with.

I use this app for a number of reasons. 1: Just to kill time and make pretty AR15’s and Remington model 700’s 2: Because Im in the middle of customizing a milspec paintball gun so i need inspiration before i drop money into parts and custom labor. 3: Im building an Aero Precision M4E1 AR15 and like to run through the options and visualize it better because we all know that above all else (accuracy, durability, cost) how sexy your gun looks is KEY to success. But i sadly had my phone stolen and some BS later thanks to Apple I finally have a good phone to start downloading crap again. I had originally paid for the upgrade so i had more than one save space and i could paint my goodies and crap which was cool. But after i redownloaded and try to restore purchases, it wouldn’t f*%#in restore my upgraded version no matter how many times I angrily smashed the button, closed the app and restarted, deleted the app and redownloaded. Now i can hear you saying “well Matthew its only $2.99, dont get so worked about it and leave a one star review on a good app”. Well my response is my middle finger and F*%K YOU!!!! That $2.99 is easily a couple snickers bars or a cheap sandwich on my lunch break. Disappointed, but im dumb enough to pay again so ehhhhhhhhhh.

So far about a month in I love this app, it’s great seeing some of my future builds come to life, my complaints so far is a couple of glitches like the game crashing or when I try to use a filter it opens up every menu it can cluttering my screen with stuff I can’t close. Other things are like some parts not being labeled right, example the Daniel defense omega rail, it’s a free float rail but in app it’s a fixed rail and “needs” a handguard cap, now my final complaints are the lack of certain parts and prices, knowing it’s sponsored by brownells I was expecting more of their stuff but there’s no Brn 180 customization, which would be cool, and the prices in app are a bit strange some stuff being way over and some being below, all those small things aside it’s a great app if you wanna invest time into building but want to see what it will look like first

I saw this app and it’s really one of a kind but it currently needs some bug fixes and updates. I want this app to work so bad to help me plan and build my AR at the gun shop and for me to have a picture to look at till it’s paid for. For my experience when I click on magwell grip it comes up with empty options and when I try to choose an empty slot a huge version of it comes up and won’t go off the screen until I delete my build or uninstall the app and re install. Also I want an Trijicon Acog RCO like I had in the Marines, and with all the sight options that is not one of them even though it’s gotta be the more popular kind of sight. They have other trijicon sights so why not that one. Other than that I see great potential, just might be the last time I use it because I don’t plan on buying any more ARs and I have this one I want being built already

But of course I gotta throw a gripe in. I would love to see more accessories added. And be able to add the PEQ box or laser. Or flashlights to the side rails. Work on prices for parts. (Update all the prices). A lot of parts don’t actually have a price on the app. *****But overall amazing app I’m glad to see strike industries products added in.****** Also occasionally ill attempt to load some products and it’ll either take a very long time. Or the page will just load forever. (I’m using ios11 if that helps any). As a suggestion maybe give the option in the settings to “download all content” so that during a build the load times can be much shorter. Hope that the developers read this review.
