SAS Survival Guide for Positive User Reviews
✓ Absolutely loved it :) 8)I definitely recommend this to anyone who wants a good quality portable survival guied and you can watch survival videos with no wi-fi awesome :).Version: 1.5
✓ Very interesting well set out app with info from a excellent source.The app is easy to navigate, looks good and is very user friendly. All of the advice is very informed, well explained and presented in a way that keeps the read interested. The app contains illustrations and videos as well as sections on several different survival situations. I really enjoyed this app and would recommend it. 1 possible improvement would be updating some of the information, for example first aid, so that it keeps up with modern advancement of techniques and practice..Version: 1.5
✓ Crashes every timeHad some issues starting at first, however, once it finally did start the app is worth the price of admission. Glad I bought it..Version: 2.0
✓ He was one of the few!!Lofty knows his stuff!!! You can to and you wont get better than LJW.Version: 2.0
✓ Love ItFrankly I cannot find any negatives at all with this app. It's very comprehensive, gorgeous IU, and the layout of the different categories are cleanly made up. I liked it so much that I bought the book also. For all around information you can't go wrong with this one. P.S. Not sure what the problem is for the couple of posts that are unable to load or sync, but keep trying or maybe send email for support because this is one amazing and quality app. Good luck to you..Version: 1.4
✓ Word ClassWorld class content, and a world class presentation. The UI designers of this app really knows what they are doing. The information is easy to navigate to, with functions that make the experience effortless. Well done..Version: 0
✓ Ultimate SAS SurvivalExcellent app, informative and entertaining. Probably very useful too, although I'm not looking forward to the day when it needs to be. I'd better get a solar charger for my phone. And hang on to the paper version of the book too....Version: 0
✓ Best app everGreat app I'm loving it.Version: 1.4
✓ FixedFrom the previous reviews I was worried this app would be lacking.. from what I can tell(I don’t know how bad it was) it’s been fixed.. I didn’t have crashing. Its easy to navigate.. I don’t have the book, but the app has made me want to purchase it. Has helpful stuff like giving cpr to a baby. Stoping blood flow when it’s an artery.. even how to basically do a tracheotomy.. well worth the 6$ specially if you don’t have the book. Or even if you do both used together probably helps.! Had to write this to help get the info that it’s actually good.. the information could help many of people.Version: 2.8
✓ Great survival app... But!This is a great app to learn about survival tactics and gain the skills necessary to survive in different terrain. However, there is no help function for the app, and I can't seem to figure how to bookmark a page!!!.Version: 1.4
✓ Great appThis app is a very powerful tool that is jam packed with information. I highly recommend it to hunters, bushwalkers or any other outgoing people. It has a great selection of videos to give you a more interactive feel followed by pictures and a massive archive of helpful reading material. I have had a lot of fun with this app and it was well worth the money..Version: 0
✓ Ultimate survivalAbsolutely amazing app!! With this me and my mate have lived off the land for a week and it's all thanks to this!! Well done Lofty great work!! Very impressed!!.Version: 1.4
✓ Key to learning the outdoorsI've been interested in the outdoors and surviving for about 3 years now... As soon as I found that it was a passion of mine I immediately went to the store to buy a good survival book... I came across this one and was completely satisfied... I liked it so much I bought this app.. It's amazing that it actually contains everything you could think of when it comes to survival... I'm constantly on this app and learning and refreshing my knowledge of survival. Great, great app!!!!!.Version: 1.4
✓ Amazing App.Spent time in the armed forces both as a man and as a boy. This app worked well both as a reminder on some techniques and expansion to my knowledge on countless others...well worth the money. Now going to buy the book as I am pretty sure the time I really need it, that my phone battery will let me down, because it certainly won't be the app..Version: 0
✓ SAS Survival GuideGreat read, useful app, my iPod is now part of my survival kit..Version: 0
✓ Incredibly Useful.This is a great app. I own the book, but I wanted to have this with me on the go in a comfortable fashion. Very informative and helpful, a potential life saver for all those hiking and camping enthusiasts. The videos with Lofty explaining the various techniques are helpful and awesome. Thanks to Lofty and the persons responsible for this app!.Version: 0
✓ App would not loadThe app would not load so I deleted it and reinstalled and it worked!.Version: 2.3.1
✓ Great survival app.A great survival app but it stopped working on my iPhone 3GS phone after an app update. Hope to get it working again soon..Version: 1.5
✓ SAS ManualAbsolutely fantastic. In fact, it might just be the best survival app out there..Version: 1.8
✓ AwesomeThis app is awesome... Don't understand why someone has posted "u can this in a bargain bin book shop for less"... Well I don't think 4 quid is a bad price for a fully comprehensive survival guide that is really detailed and contains some great vids... And most of all it snuggly fits on ur iPhone! Can't knock it! If uv got an interest in survival etc. Get it u won't be dissapointed!.Version: 0
✓ BRILLIANT!It would save your life in any situation! Well worth the $8.99 I paid for it. Best app made so far!.Version: 0
✓ Great appThis app may seem to be alot of money but it is the best survival app. It showes you everything you need to know about surviving in any places in the world from the ice to the desert..Version: 1.2
✓ Advice from the expertGreat resource though best to read ahead as will be limited by battery in a real disaster (can picture a group of people after a plane crash all getting out their iPhones to read this!) Latest version adds bookmark(s) and 'last read' button. One ★ off for phoning home on startup which costs money on pre-pay plan and possible privacy breach..Version: 0
✓ Excellent guideThis guide gets all my 5 stars, there is a huge amount of information in text and pictures in an easy to access and easy to read format. A very well made guide, and definitely reccomended to anyone interested in survival or outdoor activities.Version: 1.4
✓ S A S Survival guide must haveThis app in my opinion is an absolute must have for any would be adventurer, hiker, camper, traveller etc. It is a compilation of knowledge that you will not find anywhere else (unless you buy the book) which I recomend,that could be differance between life and death in dire circumstances for you and everyone around you . I have found one bug, the sun compass contained within the app reads back to front prior to 12 pm after which it reads correctly please note this is only applicable to the southern hemisphere as I have not tested the northern. I have reported this and hopefully it will be ammended soon.Version: 0
✓ Great but add to it.Great application just need to update with more photos and knots..Version: 0
✓ Fantastic!Something everyone should read..Version: 1.4
✓ WowThis is not the first survival app that I've purchased but it will be the last. This app has everything needed and then some. I almost pray to get lost or have to skin and gut a chicken or small cat uummmm good eating.Version: 0
✓ At last,the app ive been waiting for!I bought the sas survival handbook when i was 12 years old and read it from cover to cover dozens of times! Lofty is somewhat of a hero of mine and now, aged 36, i still refer to the handbook every now and again and keep it in my car,(just in case)! Now i dont have to as i can carry the bible with me wherever i go! Lofty, you are a great man and an inspiration! To whoever made this ap, many thanks! 5 stars without doubt!!!!.Version: 0
✓ Great app!Found this app handy when my car broke down on the way home from work in the middle of no where. It kept me from freezing to death. So much information more than worth the $$$ I paid for it..Version: 0
✓ They stand behind their appI bought this app years ago and they still support it. That says they are committed to what they publicize..Version: 2.3.1
✓ AwesomeI bought the book years ago and it has served me well the app makes it easy to tune up my skills anywhere anytime.Version: 1.4
✓ Knowledge can save livesYou never know. But when things go sideways this app will help many to cope through. As we say soldier on. You don’t need lots of fancy kit. The basics and will power..Version: 2.4
✓ Superb detailed appInformation included in this is by a world leader in survival situations, so you know you can count on it. Worked well at first, but now it crashes after a few seconds. Maybe it's my ipod that's at fault, but just be aware. Other than that, it really is a first class product that could save your life..Version: 0
✓ The whole book, plus lots more.I first read this book as a child and boughts reprints in various sizes over the years. This app contains the entire work that I remember, plus so many extras. The result is very impressive. A lot of effort has clearly gone into creating a genuinely useful source for reference, and the is a bargain considering the sheer volume of content. A package like this sets the bar very high for other e-book publishers considering making an app store item. I'd recommend carrying the gem size paperback too though, as it's batteries won't run out :).Version: 0
✓ I couldn't believe it......that it was the WHOLE BOOK in app form!!! For those of you who don't know, Lofty Wiseman's SAS Survival Handbook is one of the all time greatest wilderness survival books. Ever. Just about anybody who knows anything about the subject puts this book on a must read list. It's in my personal top 2. The section on knots alone is worth the price of admission. The section on Health is one of the best quick guides to wilderness first/self aid out there. Shelter building, navigation, survival at sea, it's all here. Everything you need to know (and more) in an easy to understand writing style with clear illustrations. I can't say enough good things about this book. To have the whole book in my pocket is priceless. Attractive UI and easy navigation are a great bonus. And then they add additional videos by Wiseman himself?! Why are you still reading this? Buy the app! It could possibly be the most important app on your phone..Version: 0
✓ So far, so good (but needs some tweaks)This is a really good App. There are a few things that I think are critical that are lacking. It needs a SEARCH function, the checklists need to be more comprehensive and even possibly "tailored" to the environment one is traveling in (do I really need anti-malaria tablets for a trip into the desert?) and, I think, most importantly the QUIZ function needs to be expanded. I have found that there are only a dozen or so questions in each section which can all be mastered within a few minutes. The QUIZ function would be great, if expanded, because the average person doesn't find themselves in an actual survival situation very often. So, by continual "quizing", this information can be kept up to date and present in your mind. In the end, there is no replacement for actual experience, but in many survival situations you only get ONE chance and if you fail then you haven't survived (and that's the point)..Version: 1.4
✓ GreatThis is a great app especially with update with the bookmark plus the quiz which keeps your mind sharp with the information and makes you want recap. More instructional videos would be nice and more info on edible trees in the southern hemisphere (especially in Australia) would also be nice..Version: 0
✓ Excellent 5 stars!If I got dropped off in the wild with a solar charger iPhone with this app I could survive forever!.Version: 1.2
✓ Worth itA good read and lots if information.Version: 1.4
✓ Awesome appThis is a great app but not as good as the book.Version: 1.5
✓ Survival guideTruly outstanding done the App know read the book!.Version: 1.2
✓ PricelessThis survival application, along with Wiki How Survival Guide, I could not possibly think or ask for certain scenarios, since they are all pretty much complete with all the survival knowledge you hopefully won't need to use. But on those rare ocassions when something does help where you need survival training and instinct, then I cannot possibly think of something better or different features. It's always good to be safe and that is exactly what you'll learn from this application. Although I do suggest picking up Wiki Howto Survival app, then you'll definetly be much better prepared for any worst case scenario is heading your way. Definetly purchase this app since it's always better to be safe than sorry..Version: 0
✓ Great life saving toolsI bought the book first some 20 something years now I have the app now. It’s very useful.Version: 2.4
✓ "The Zone"This gives one real world options available to every survivor as well as helping to get you in "the zone" so that one can make necessary decisions and think in a survival mode..Version: 2.4
✓ The app to top all appsAs ex member of the defense force. I would highly recommend this application to any campers, soldiers bushwalkers etc. Very handy to have even for general information on the bush and survival. Worth theiyiiy download and the cost for so much..Version: 0
✓ AwesomeGreat app, could use more knots and a way to generate enough electricity to charge your iPod in an emergency, in the wilderness. because without that the app is kind of useless..Version: 1.5
✓ Best App available.Bought the book in the 1980's, then bought the pocket book a few years ago, this is simply brilliant. Can't recommend this highly enough. Great work Lofty. UPDATE: Apr 2012 Still the best app available. This is worth ten times the asking price. Buy it you won't have any regrets. Simply put, this is the best app ever..Version: 1.4
✓ Great app!Great resource and video content. Probably better to have this than the book as you should probably commit this to memory anyway rather than flip through a book or app in an emergency. Easy to navigate and read through the app. Awesome!.Version: 1.2
✓ Master AssassinAn excellent app with good useful info. No problem running it, saved my life once so far. So it ticks all the boxes..Version: 1.5
✓ Last update issue sortedThis is a great resource, especially if you venture out in a kayak, like I do. Great for a week away. After the last update, I had to delete it, then re-download it, for it to work properly. Just so you know..Version: 2.4
✓ Loved itI it is a good program on how to survive. It has a sun compass and a survival check list. This app also skills like finding orientation without a compass. Best app I've got for survival purposes!.Version: 1.8
✓ Very Useful, Fair PriceI found serious value in this app. It doesn't crash, it doesn't take forever to load, and it doesn't require you to be connected to the internet for things like video and pictures. Everything is downloaded and stored on your iOS device. I would, however, really like to see more video tutorials and instruction by the author..Version: 1.5
✓ Possibly my favorite appThis app rocks! Well organized full of useful, interesting and possibly life saving information. Thank you developers for adding content for free. Had not had any glitches or crashes with this one. It's a keeper and a great reference guide..Version: 0
✓ A must have app if your going bush!!Great info for those who feel a sense of adventure in the great outdoors. You will need to invest in a solar charger for your IPhone, though, as the app's only as good as your phone's last charge cycle!!.Version: 1.2
✓ Should be in Entertainment Category - a true gemThis is one of the best written Apps you can buy. It follows the printed book to the letter. It's easy to read, well illustrated and easily searched. In fact this app sets the standard that all others should follow. Its also very entertaining to read and might even have been relevant 20 years ago. Although, I must admit, advice like "do not try to save posssions" whilst in a a car under water will always be handy.Version: 0
✓ SAS Survival Hand BookI have used this hand book for many year and I have to say it never gets boring. The information is second to none, and the app is great. I have this app on my iPad (1) and now my iPhone 4. Keep up the good work, and thank you lofty for all your hard work..Version: 1.5
✓ Simply amazing info that everyone needs to know!Reading this has really opened my eyes to some stupid things I would do if I would ever be in a situation where I'd need to rely on my surroundings whilst being stranded/ out and about/etc. It has a wonderful quick to navigate starting page invade of emergencys. So many useful life saving tips that you'll be thankful as hell you bought for as much as it costs for a half decent coffee & muffin. You'll be Reading it for a while so go buy some of those too.Version: 0
✓ FlawlessThis app is well worth the money. It is well organized and coherent. Considerably more convienient and practical than the guide itself..Version: 0
✓ .This app is much better than any survival book I know of. 5 stars..Version: 0
✓ ExcellentI bought the SAS survival handbook over 30 years ago when it first came out and i kept it with me till i got this app. Amazing book and the app takes it to the next level. Fantastic. I cant thank Lofty Wiseman enough for the knowledge he has given me..Version: 1.4
✓ Great appExcellent app and well worth the money. Could be doing with a few more videos but overall a lot of information in one app..Version: 1.4
✓ Downloading and ActivationInitially I had a challenge with mobile downloading this application and activating it. Previous experience with other large memory applications reminded me, that for this application of such magnitude, downloading directly to my computer via Itunes was essential. I had to remove the application from my Iphone after attempting a mobile download. Next, I made sure the "Update" section of the "App Store" on my Iphone was totally clear of all updates of other current software applications. Once everything was cleared, I then downloaded the "SAS Survival Guide" application to my computer. Following that step I "synced" my Iphone wtih Itunes which automatically downloaded and synced the "SAS Survival Guide" to my Iphone. After that it worked perfectly. I do expect the author of this software to update this application when newer knowledge on any facet of this application occurs. After all, survival information only works when it is current. Protect your Iphone from environmental effects and always find a way to keep it's battery fully charged up. I hope this helps..Version: 0
✓ Must get!Could very well save your life. While you are at it grab the small paperback version of his book, for when your battery fails!.Version: 1.4
✓ Great theory and great appGood app as you can read up on trains, airports, when the girlfriend insists on company while clothes shopping etc. This theory is in no way a substitute for practice, but do like me and try various things out once a month or so. I've been trying to snare a rabbit for weeks now and I'm glad I'm failing now rather then when my survival depends on it. On the other hand I'm getting pretty good at shelters and fire under nasty conditions. The app is well laid out with some pictures (not enough though), a quiz and so on. Some parts are dry, but overall very interesting. If you enjoy the reading you can try the courses from the company John Wiseman works with, Trueways Survival. Have done two and was satisfied, though of course nothing beats doing it on your own for the experience..Version: 0
✓ AmazingBest app on the IPhone,IPod etc really useful and i think the videos and pics are good, i dont see why some have put bad reviews, it doesnt crash , clearly it is your ipod not the app because i havent had any problems. All the info is amazing i dont have the book but have the US version and it matchs that. Best app i have must by forthe outdoor survivalist ..Version: 0
✓ GreatFantastic. Works great and plenty of useful info would love to see more Australian indigenous flora and fauna content added but otherwise awesome..Version: 1.5
✓ SAS SurvivalExcellent app - comprehensive survival information, without the need for phone or Wi-Fi access.Version: 1.4
✓ Great app!I use this app when I am on the move and have some downtime. It's great for times I don't have the physical book with me..Version: 1.4
✓ Honest love its fabulous! (Welsh joke)Brilliant application highly recommended, though the lite version is a great application there's so much more in this full version. Easy to understand with full illustrations. This application can teach you everything you never knew even leather and rope making!.Version: 1.2
✓ WORTH THE $$$I didnt know what to expect when i purchased this, i like to go outside alot and thought this would be cool. After using it for a while ive learned this is an AMAZING app, the best app i ever bought. I look forward to possible updates this app has info on many things and fun torys to go with it. But if your looking for a good survival app to buy i highly reccomend this app. And this is coming from a 15 year old.Version: 0
✓ Great AppBrilliant, things you can do with technology these days! Really reliable!.Version: 1.2
✓ Awesome App!!!Amazing app!!!!.Version: 1.4
✓ SAS Survival Guide User since 1986I have almost every detail of Lofty Wiseman's book committed to memory but I still have a weakness for procuring every possible iteration extant. From my huge soft cover "coffee table" version to numerous Collins Gem Pocket versions to the rare and sought after "flick book" meant to be an ultra compact and weather resistant variant for professional survival kits. It only made sense that I would buy the iPhone app as soon as I was made aware of it's existence. What I wasn't expecting were the excellent photos and video content! What a real treat! Well worth the money and for those of you who leave the house every day with naught but an iPhone, keys and wallet this could be a real life saver one day. I would suggest that you study every bit of it well in advance and even take time to practice some of the techniques contained in this well written guide. This is a top shelf app in every way and I wholeheartedly recommend it!.Version: 1.3
✓ Very goodIt is a good reference for survival situations, but I wish you didn't need internet connection.Version: 1.9
✓ Top 10 app in store!This app is great! It is very well organized, easy to navigate and find what you are looking for. The information is for the most parts complete, yet inspires you and leaves room for you to apply the information in your own environment in creative ways. Worth every penny!.Version: 0
✓ AwesomeSo glad the time has been taken to update this invaluable app. The new look and feel really does it justice. A little disappointed that the file size still is over 200mb once uncompressed..Version: 1.6
✓ FantasticI have been teaching myself and my kids bushcraft for some time using the skills in this app and we have found it to be a must have skill. My kids prefer going out doing bushcraft then playing on there computer games. Thanks Lofty.Version: 1.4
✓ VERY USEFUL!I used this app when I went camping it helped me a lot! Thanks and it's a good price!.Version: 1.5
✓ BrilliantThis is a brilliant guide to survival, and has some very nice features like "videos" to help visualize certain scenarios and how you can get through them. There is also a book version of this guide, so if you venture out do yourself a favour and buy the small-book and take it with instead of your ipod which loses battery! All in all a very well made application..Version: 0
✓ Great appGreat app, well worth the 2.99 price tag. So much information, all contained within one simple to use app. You'd pay that just for the book but you get videos and a contents search included- Fantastic! if your into outdoor activities, expeditions or just an outdoorsy type then this apps for you! 5 stars.Version: 0
✓ You NEED this app!!I got this app a couple days ago, and have been going through it. I have Lofty's SAS survival book and this app is a very well written "Cliff's Notes" version of the book, as well as some stuff from his urban survival book. It is not watered down at all, all the important stuff in the book is in the app, with any fluff from the actual book removed. What is really nice about this app is that you have some really good reading material with you wherever you go, AND the videos are great too in reinforcng concepts. With all of this said, the time to actually READ and practice APPLYING some of the techniques in this app is NOW!! Do NOT wait for a disaster to happen, or be in a situation where you actually need to use the information in this app, to start reading it. By that time, your iPod/iPad might be lost, damaged, battery dead, etc. This is truly some basic information everyone should know..Version: 1.2
✓ Very goodBrilliant a good read lots of info some very handy hints. Others just good to know.Version: 1.2
✓ Yes, impressive.Phenominal survival app. I've purchased other iPhone survival apps & was a bit skeptical at the price. All skepticism was gone once I opened the app and looked around. My only small quibble is some of the terminology/slang words could use translation some from UK to US as sometimes items mentioned are not obvious, or at least to me. One example was "hessian" under the desert section, without looking this up I had no idea what the book was referring to..Version: 0
✓ BrilliantBut can I suggest add-on modules for other countries so the edible/medicinal plants are the correct ones for that country. These could be purchasable to off-set how much work that would add or create. I'd definitely pay to have Australian bush food and medicines as an add-on..Version: 1.4
✓ Boy 2 man!I bought the book when I was about 12 , it's the same book that sits in my bookshelf today! I celebrate my 40th birthday next month. His book has brought me many years of happiness and adventures! Now I'm all I-phoned up and can't tell ya how chuffed I am to have found it on my phone! GET IT!!! I'm off to build a shelter with my step daughter in the Ashdown Forest tomorrow! If my fashion ain't so cool, my survival skills should win a few points!!!.Version: 0
✓ Only the best for the S.A.SHas to be the best survival app on the market today! There is almost every thing you need to know!.Version: 0
✓ Review for sas survival guideNice app for anyone who likes DIY.Version: 0
✓ Information and explanationsIs is a crash course an in survival. Every thing you need to know in almost any survival situation in any region or climate. As a survival expert in most situations I can give it a big thumbs up! Well worth the money, if you are a what if type of person then this app us for you!!!.Version: 0
✓ Great app!!!This is a very useful and informative app! For the little bit of money spent on this app the information in it could be extremely helpful in saving lives in a situation where your suddenly faced with having to survive. It would be smart for everyone to read threw this information and have it in the back of their mind just incase they need it someday, because you never know what might happen!!.Version: 0
✓ Good.... for the most part....The app itself is fantastic and the knowledge with is literally life saving, but I really wish they'd get rid of the stupid startup screen advertising their other apps. I've spent £3.99 on your app along with another £3.99 for the SAS Urban Survival Guide, I'd like to be able to open both apps without that stupid advertisement screen!!.Version: 2.2.1
✓ Excellent appBought this app ages ago and recently downloaded it again. Even better than ever now, however the little settings icon at the bottom right hand corner when reading a chapter is obsolete and cannot be pressed.Version: 1.4
✓ AwesomeGreat app well worth the money.Version: 1.4
✓ BrilliantI have the book for many years and it has been invaluable when working in some areas of the world. The only down side to this app is that when in situations where this app will come trully into it's own, the battery will have gone and no where to recharge it. Still it is brill..Version: 0
✓ Great AppVery good. Wish I had the full book to fall back on if and when the time is needed. I have several other books, but having this app for quick reference is great (as long as the cell has power). Read it often. Thanks.Version: 1.5
✓ ExcellentHad the book for many years, now got the App....sweet Not sure why one of the low reviews is saying the book is much cheaper and therefore the App is not so good and saying the App is no good if u run out of power! As small as the book was, I now have all the info all of the time in my pocket. I am able to see colour pics, videos and quickly search for info. This App is v nice, v handy and v acceptable at the price..Version: 0
✓ Great titleAwesome book easy to use.Version: 0
✓ App finally usable again so it’s good nowI paid for this years ago and really learned alot throught it. Instead of reading useless stuff in spare time I prefer to freshen up on these things, you never know when you’ll need it!.Version: 2.8
✓ Survival guide a mustHave had this app since it first came out I also have had the books for years definitely have used a lot of information in these, no bull no ego, just good practical info, just be aware it’s an overview not for a specific area so plants climate varies, I live in Western Australia very very hot during the day going to very cold in remote areas..Version: 2.4
✓ Best survival app ever!I have long looked for an app that had even a quarter of the information that this app has and the easy navigation makes it very easy find specific items..Version: 1.5
✓ Indispensable.This is a comprehensive and practical app. I think that users should consider a solar charger and a weather-proof case if one is planning to use it in the wild, but that goes for any survival, navigation or emergency app. Great app!.Version: 1.2
✓ MrGreat app makes me want to go get lost in the bush somewhere with me phone using this app on me way.Version: 1.4
✓ Excellent book/App.There is just so much to learn from this app, picture galleries and video clips work very well. Will be buying the paperback copy soon. A first class app, something everyone should have in their pocket on their phone..Version: 0
✓ Just like the bookI bought the book and then found this app Good basic knowledge.Version: 0
✓ Awesome appGreat app has unreal info and pics real helpfull. Would be good if updated info and had inforMation specific to regions for example Australia..Version: 0
✓ Worth every penny...By far, the very best survival guide on the app store. Informative, detailed, and images are high resolution, making it easy to visually identify topic matter. Highly recommended!.Version: 0
✓ Bad update?Update: As other reviewers have done, I deleted the app, reinstalled, then restarted the device (shutting it down from settings). After restarting the device, the app now works! Guess it’s a glitch with last update. Still a good app, but have to dock a star for the extra steps required to make it work. I rarely write reviews, but the last update was so disappointing. This used to be a great app. Very informative. Unfortunately, since the last update, it will not open the original SAS app. Instead it takes you to a home screen to view (and purchase) other SAS titles. Even after navigating to the library which shows the apps you own, the app refuses to open. PLEASE FIX! Love this app when it actually worked, will update review if I can use again..Version: 2.4
✓ SASI used to have the paper back copy I have made many of the traps in my back yard as a teenager and used the nav skills as well out in the bush awesome this is my bible.Version: 1.4
✓ SAS GuideBrilliant! A world of survival knowledge based all over the world by someone that's had the best training in the world-the British Army and the S.A.S! I can't say enough about it! Read it all the way through n one day this will either save your life or the life of someone around you!!! It's not just for survival nutters it's for everyone that likes any sort of outdoor activity, no matter how small the activity! What country your from or which continent it has all the info you'll need to keep u alive!!!!!.Version: 1.4
✓ Used the informationI was in the Zambezi National park in a broken down car when a fire broke out, My girlfriend picked up the book and found out what to do. The moral boost was fantastic luckily the fire did not head our way. It took 2 days to fix the car and rescue ourselves. We had to pay a fine as we had overstayed our time in the Park. So I have bought the app and it is better than the book..Version: 1.4
✓ Be prepared.Superior app..Version: 1.4
✓ Awesome app!!This is a must have app for all. A big thank you to all who contributed..Version: 0
✓ ExcellentVery thorough. The descriptions along with the illustrations were clear and the instruction straight to the point. It forever changes the way I pack my kit..Version: 1.4
✓ Great app.Great tool as long as we have power to power our devices. In the meantime learn all you can from this great app..Version: 1.5
✓ I will make it nowThis app is fantastic. It gives confidence and the necessary information to anyone adventuring the wonderful wide world around us. Everyone should get this app..Version: 0
✓ FantasticThis is what makes an ipod/iphone a complete tool. I have the book too and would strongly advise anyone to buy it (what if you can't power your iphone?) but as a learning tool / short time survival guide, the app is invaluable. let's put it this way - $7 may save your life one day. I'd rate it 10 out of 10 but there's only a five-star system here..Version: 0
✓ Comprehensive survival referenceI've got this book in hard copy ever since I took an interest in going bush as a lad. Now a little older, it's great to be able to take this with me hunting as both a read in camp and a reference..Version: 1.2
✓ Just like the actual handbookThey need to update it to fit the screen sizes of newer IPhones. Like iPhone X.Version: 2.4
✓ BrilliantMust have! Best app I've bought so far!.Version: 0
✓ An informative useful appThis app really does contain a lot of useful information, there's very little in terms of survival information that isn't covered by this app, from providing shelter, essential equipment, general rules for surviving in difficult terrain and what to/not to eat. Well worth getting.Version: 1.2
✓ Impressed...After reading the reviews and the intro, I really thought this was going to be a waste of money due to this stuff having no real purpose in my life. After reading through this app and playing with the different tools, I really would have to recommend this app to others. It's weird, but the information is actually good info, I'm going camping in a few days, going to try this stuff out, some how I have no doubts that the different topics covered are going to work as illustrated. This really is a good app to have...just hope if I have to use this stuff in a real survival event that my iPhone has juice in it. :) (no Internet needed for the app..that was another plus.).Version: 0
✓ GreatGreat app for the price good reading.Version: 1.5
✓ ImpressiveThe amount of information here is easily worth the money. On top of that, it features a slick interface and well-organized content. Some of the stuff is extraneous and I wish there were more/better photos & illustrations in a lot of cases, however, those are minor quips on an otherwise comprehensive resource on outdoor and survival techniques. Thanks to the author and developers for such a great app!.Version: 0
✓ Love it!What a great app. So much info and detail put into it. Would be even better if Bear Grylls was reading it to you ;).Version: 0
✓ Excellent app!This is a fantastic and detailed app that I will take whenever I go hiking/camping. Great resource of information and a great entertainer on those boring work breaks..Version: 0
✓ Cool and usefulIf you don't learn anything from this you are better than the SAS! NOT this is great and gives pointers and tricks you can use in the bush - I know I have - plus if you get a solar charger he is with you even in the back o burke - if you go of road or just to exotic places buy it - you will not be disappointed.Version: 0
✓ Absolutely Essential.Imagine that someone offered you some excellent skills which would save someone's life or perhaps even yours for the price of this app. Would you buy it? This apps value is worth more than it's price. One star less because I would need iPhone power to last longest when I would need it the most(When preparation is not possible). Add a solar charger to your survival kit. Please add tip on that too..Version: 0
✓ FantasticThis book is perfect for both beginners and seasoned outdoorsman. The content gives confidence and vital information to beginners, and sharpens the mind of the seasoned outdoorsman to that of an expert. The author is clear and organized. He often tells stories of outdoorsmen of the past to cement his reasoning. Furthermore, there are videos - which are extremely helpful. Ultimately, this app gives you a hook to hang your hat on and will encourage you to get out of your house and ino the wild. You will love this app..Version: 0
✓ SAS survival app reviewExcellently written, practical, and clearly arranged - just like the original book..Version: 1.4
✓ Good, butThis app looks amazing and helpful, however, when i try to go into a sub-category, it always crashes.....Version: 1.5
✓ Great app, worth the few bucksI got this mainly for the wilderness first aid. I first purchased a $2 app, which was terrible. This one has everything I could think to ask for, and a lot of stuff I would never think of--delivering a baby?! Additionally, it has tons of other stuff that would be incredibly useful if one were lost, such as how to identify edible plants in the wilderness. If I'm ever lost for days, I think I'll do just fine with this app, and a solar charger for my iPhone!.Version: 0
✓ Wealth of knowledge for lifeThis is truly one of the most informative yet concise survival guide you can find. A definite app for anyone who wants to survive in difficult situations or when stranded outdoors. Get it quick!.Version: 0
✓ Tons of infoThis is basically an ebook with handy cross-referencing and videos, and is huge. I really though I'd get a few tips and maybe some illustrative photos but was surprised to see how much info there is in here. For instance, the section on poisonous mushrooms contains loads of pics showing each mushroom, a description of what they look like, what their danger is, where they grow, what tests you can perform to verify their identity, what symptoms to expect if eaten by mistake, and what treatment to take in that case..Version: 0
✓ Great appGreat app.Version: 1.4
✓ Good reading material.Been in the canadian army using most of those technics with some little variations. Simple basic technics that WORKS. Great reading and reminder/refresher material. A must have!.Version: 0
✓ Best app everI bought this app 1yr ago and it's still the best app ever, always learning something new from it, terrific.Version: 1.2
✓ The coming collapseWith the coming collapse of our civilization this app might come in handy. The only problem is we need power to charge the damn iPhone..Version: 0
✓ Best survival appIn the world! If you don't have it get it it has helped me understand a lot more about well everything! :).Version: 1.4
✓ Former Special ForcesThank you for an opportunity to provide feedback. I helped update the US Army Survival FM in the 80's and have completed several Survival Schools in addition to being an avid Sportsman. I fished and trapped as a youth and attended forestry school in my college years. The reason I tell you my background is that not only have I conducted joint missions with the SAS, but I believe I have an excellent understanding of Survival preparation. Quite simply I have had my family members download the SAS Survival app onto their smart phones and computers in case of an emergency and for quick reference. The resident properties and access are critical especially is one loses their connectivity. I do have a complaint though! After downloading your recent upgrade I can no longer use most of the functions that I am familiar with and consider critical for using this app. When attempting to drill down I am continuously returned to the IPhone 4 Main Screen. A fix or way to contact you for a corrected upgrade is much needed. Sincerely, Dave Wein.Version: 1.5
✓ EpicSpent 6 months in the Finnish mitary learning these skills but this book is awesome - great knowledge, tips, videos and much more - totally worth the cash.Version: 0
✓ AwesomeThis app really helped me learn new skills.Version: 1.2
✓ V2.8 partly solves Major fault with v2.7Update on Post below: The faulty v2.7 of this app should have been resolved with the release of v2.8 but unfortunately it wasn’t. However, following the instructions given with the release of v2.8, to “delete & reinstate app if it failed to work”, I did so and was pleased to have the app working again. Shouldn’t have had to this but nevertheless app is now back to 5* Since the release of the latest version of this app, v2.7, I have been unable to get the app to open. It starts to fire up but immediately closes down again. It’s gone from being a 5* app to a useless 0* app. Come on developers, wake up and get this programming error sorted pronto please.Version: 2.8
✓ Very completeVery complete with many detailed videos.Version: 1.4
✓ Excellent app!!Filled with information, definitley worth it!!.Version: 1.4
✓ ReviewAlthough I've yet to use most of the info in the app, it is a real treasure trove of information. I also purchased the softcover version back in 1990 and I used to love constructing the animal traps for practice. Worth the money..Version: 1.9
✓ A true way to survival.Firstly Haven been on a survival course myself with the Trueways survival team I learned a great deal with those guys. Thank you very much for all your knowledge. This book is the best guide to survival I have ever owned. Had it for over 15 years. And how handy it is to also have it at my finger tips in this great app. A must for any outdoorsman..Version: 1.4
✓ Needs to update first aid adviceI've had the book for around 15 years and the app is a nice addition with an excellent interface. Loads of useful info in there My only gripe is as a Red Cross volunteer - the first aid advice is seriously out of date, even for wilderness first aid. If you want to give a casualty the best chance of survival then please go on a first aid course. I hope the app will be updated to the latest guidelines soon.Version: 0
✓ Cool!Its unlikely il ever need to use this, but im still only 20 so i just never know. But still, its really interesting to read and there is lots n lots of very amazing & fascinating facts/tips to read through and to help you out if ever your in an emergency situation. Id have to agree its a must buy and for £3.99 it really isnt too much what so ever..Version: 0

✓ Sas survival handbookThis is an awesome app that I am constantly reading. I love it! I find myself reading parts whenever I have some time..Version: 0
✓ Fantastic resourceGreat app. Full of useful info if ever you need it.Version: 1.2
✓ Top NotchEven though I have the book, it's still great to know that all is within this app. The chances of having the book on you at times is debatable but you'll probably have your phone. Great idea and well done. Let's just hope your phone isn't out of juice when you may need advice!! That aside, a great knowledge base for all survival techniques..Version: 0
✓ Better than the book.I own the full version of the book at home and don't get the chance to study it that much. Now I'm learning everything. Great for planning hiking trips!.Version: 0
✓ Great appExcellent survival app which is easy to use and contains in depth information that WILL help you in a survival situation..Version: 1.4
