Army Survival Appendix

About Army Survival Appendix Android App

This app puts a handy survival guide on your phone. Could be a pretty useful reference to keep around for wilderness survival, hiking, camping and beyond!

I've created the app because I was looking for something similar but could only find apps that looked bad, or had a ridiculous amount of ads.

I've kept it pretty simple, there's no ads, and the it can be read offline :)

In the mist of the current political situation ( Trump & Hillary in USA, AfD in Germany ) I had to prepare for doomsday scenarios and was searching for a good Survival Guide that I can use offline - there where some but none of them where really good & fitting. Also there was none free software ( FOSS ) on FDroid. Hence I was writing this Software.
