Latest reviews of Bear Grylls - Bear Essentials app for iPhone and iPad
This app has some real neat features for any aspiring adventurer/outdoors man. Great advice and techniques along with neat tools such as a compass and analog watch. As a survival instructor I really like this app, and will recommend it to students as a memory aid and tool for keeping up skills... Before they are needed of course.
This app is totally nonfunctional on 3G phone. Buy it only if you want to waste your money like me. This is all videos and links to web pages...I guess I should have not been surprised it was a scam.
At first i thought this was a terrible app but then i relized that u have to slide ur finger across the screen when ur on a chapter and it reveils alot of usful info in alot of slides.
Useful, especially the part about the knots
Compass freezes then refuses to allow access to any other features of the app Glad it wasnt a life or death situation!
