Ran into this while researching something else. Has anyone ever used this app before?

There is another thread here at CT about this software. I have it on my iPhone, it started with bugs, got revised but it is still buggy.

[Pylon]

Have it.  Can't say I've ever really needed to use it, but it's there.  For the most part, works as advertised.  There are a few bugs, as mentioned, but nothing drastic that makes it unusable.

Here's the link to the thread from two years ago.

Why would you spend 3 bucks on that when the same phone is capable of going to the McChord rackbuilder website for free?

People and their fancy apps.  Don't give vanguards any ideas now!

I think an order confirmation and shipment tracking app for Vanguard would be quite popular, given the posts about them on CapTalk.

Warning - Rack 'em up does not work for more than 7 rows of ribbons.... I found that out the hard way...

I seem to remember devices being approved for the community service ribbon but rack em up doesn't allow it.

They were - it also shows the wrong color V in the screen shot.

This is a 99-cent gee-whiz at best, assuming it worked properly.

Wait - It doesn't cost 99 cents anymore? Mine was when I got it... Granted, that was a ways back...

$2.99 now.

They never update this app, and it has the wrong order for achievement ribbons (cadets only).

Free, up to date, and works on smart phone browsers:

What I find kind of rewarding, is to see my ribbon artwork from the McChord site being used in the Rack-Em-Up app.  I generated those images using nothing more high tech than MS Paint (which is why the star and prop attachments are skewed slightly taller than they are wide) and they've since been copied and proliferated all across CAP.

I got in communication with the developer this week... I have a few suggestions for him that he is going to look at. Please post with the things that you see need to be changed and I will give him the list. He is willing to update. Thanks.

With milestone ribbons, It wants to put the wright brothers on top of all the achievment ribbons, IE the WBA is on top of the rickenbacker on mine. Also, a way to add clasps to the ribbons without having to remove them and re-add it with the # of clasps you need would be nice.

[JArvey]

Also, the community service ribbon has clasps, and It would be amazing if he could put a info box to the side of the ribbons saying what the requirements are for them. And the milestones are not ahead of the normal grade ribbons.

I have it. Its a neat app, doesn't do much though. Don't expect much.

I found an iphone app called "medalsribbon". It has CAP, all US military, and LA police.
