Latest reviews of USMC Close Combat app for iPhone and iPad

Fantastic
I am a semi professional street fighter an this app has been perfect for me I learned some new techniques and was actually able to apply them in my last couple fights resulting in knockouts.
USMC Poolee
The information in this app is spot on. Unfortunately, it was like they cut and pasted pieces of sentences and paragraphs in different spots, and it was hard to get what they were trying to say. Once you decoded it, though, it was effective, at least for me and my sparring partner. This would be a five star app if I could simply read it and understand, but I found myself caroling back and forth to put sentences together. The organization of the table of contents is wonderful, though. Decent app. Fix the typos and its five stars.
Great
A lot of great fighting info
Good
Mine only loads half of the options though, please fix
