Concealed Carry App by USCCA Reviews

I have been a member for about a year now and I’m currently in the works of furthering my education and becoming an instructor. Having said that I attended the USCCA expo in Louisville, Ky and I must say I have absolutely NO complaints. Staff was friendly, and helpful when needing to be directed to a certain booth or class. Tons of important and helpful info filled the room as well as very nice firearms and accessories. From ohio to KY I definitely wasn’t disappointed and will be attending many more. Finally, I carry 24/7 and I live in a rough neighborhood so the peace of mind I have knowing that the USCCA has my back should a situation arise let’s me sleep peacefully at night with my family. If you not a member, well you should be. It’s not a matter of if something will happen it’s when!!!

UPDATE: I downloaded ConcealedCarryApp again to see if they fixed the issues. They didn’t. But now it has a terribly unreadable dark color scheme to match the unusable features.

ORIGINAL REVIEW:
I’m not a member of USCCA because they offer seriously insufficient coverage compared to comparably priced plans (likely wouldn’t even cover a full trial). They do have a great magazine, though, so I got ConcealedCarryApp to read it and also for the reciprocity map. Sadly, both of those app features are not very good.

I subscribe to their great magazine and would love to read it in ConcealedCarryApp . Unfortunately, unless you plan to read it cover-to-cover in one sitting and never switch out of ConcealedCarryApp , reading the magazine in ConcealedCarryApp is a nearly unusable experience. If you switch out of ConcealedCarryApp , it refreshes back to the news feed when you bring it forward again. It doesn’t remember the issue or the page you were on. Since I often flip back and forth to my Notes app to take notes as I’m reading, this makes it completely unusable.

The reciprocity map, too, doesn’t save details. It doesn’t save your home state or the permit switch so you need to select them every time you open the map.

I finally gave up on ConcealedCarryApp and deleted it. It’s just as easy to go to their website.

I am a member of ConcealedCarryApp . I purchased it to educate myself on gun ownership and the responsibility that comes with it. In the beginning, all of the training videos would work fine then after about two weeks or a month later the website is showing an error message that says bad request cookies are too large. What happened? I use ConcealedCarryApp for everything educational and now I have nothing to educate myself on my responsibility and increase my gun knowledge. I honestly love ConcealedCarryApp it is very educational and informative about firearms and laws. I know it's worth the membership when ConcealedCarryApp is working properly.

I gave it 2 stars because I paid for a service that is not working properly and it frustrated me. ConcealedCarryApp has no major problem other than the training videos not playing.

App has great information and is usually great to use. Recently, many of the news feed articles are loading but are cut off and can’t be scrolled down to read. I tried deleting ConcealedCarryApp and reinstalling but it did not solve the problem. I have an iPhone 12 Pro Max and it could be related to an iOS upgrade. Who knows. Extremely frustrating.

There seems to be a lot of criticism of ConcealedCarryApp for minor issues. But if you carry any level of USCCA insurance, and are an iPhone user, you need ConcealedCarryApp because you can add your membership card to Apple Wallet. It includes instructions for when you are forced to defend yourself AND the USCCA hotline number. There’s nothing worse than trying to remember where you put such information in a real emergency. It can’t get any easier than being in your Apple Wallet. To me, it’s worth 5 stars for that alone.

I use my membership for the peace of mind their incident support offers and the solid visibility of reciprocity. It’s saved me loads of time researching which nonresident permits would best benefit me. My only reservation, which is why I give it four stars instead of five is that I can’t find how to update my membership card in the iOS wallet, so I am stuck with an expired card I can’t figure out how to update, even though my account is current. It shouldn’t be hard to update an iOS wallet card.

It need to be updated. I like ConcealedCarryApp and everything it stands for so I got it 5 stars you can’t give them enough credit for this but ConcealedCarryApp does need updating The map doesent update and show the correct statesbut you can read the list just fine just have to ready though which is fine I can read so it’s just a minor gripe.

Well it’s now my turn to express frustration about ConcealedCarryApp . I give it a 2-star for effort. In my case, ConcealedCarryApp will not open stories. I just get a picture and a few sentences of the article and no ability to open and read the whole thing. This of course renders ConcealedCarryApp useless. I suspect there is just too much advertising crammed inn, causing this and a slew of issues others are describing. Seems USCCA has had a good thing going but without ConcealedCarryApp , it kind of leaves out those who support it.

I really like ConcealedCarryApp. News feed are always a good fun short daily read that has helped me make several excellent decisions on a few purchase. Easy to find state laws and honored carry states. Concealed Carry Magazines are great for learning, finding everything you need for safe carrying, passing time or just destressing. My most used app.

I have been a member for a couple years and like ConcealedCarryApp and the positive changes with the new release. Having to log in every time in the old version really sucked. I would like to see more features to include a calling feature for the legal team and more up front and ready advice if needed to help when your stressed.
Otherwise thanks for always improving and being a great insurance and educational company!

Ive been in the USCCA from the very early ( baby ) days of xerox pages. Through the early ( teen ) years of publication what it has become now with ConcealedCarryApp and beyond if you carry, or are considering the benefits The USCCA is the best resource and ConcealedCarryApp only makes the best better and the battle continues up and over the next hill as we go into 25+ years into the future. Great application , Great organization getting even Greater in the future.

V1.0.36 reporting in Splash Screen even though ConcealedCarryApp shows V1.0.37 as being released 2 mos ago. No addl updates show as available on ConcealedCarryApp Store. App opens up momentarily attempts to refresh data and then crashes after about 10-15 seconds. iOS 14.0.1 iPhone 11 Pro. I attempted to manually close ConcealedCarryApp , as well as delete and reinstall ConcealedCarryApp but the behavior is still the same.
Please Fix.

ConcealedCarryApp works great for news feed and laws but for some reason it always shows an “internal server error” when I try to log in. I’ve reset my password and tried reciprocity, the uscca protector app, and this one. All 3 display server errors when trying to log in. Basically making all 3 apps unusable. Hopefully they’ll fix it soon as many ccw owners rely on ConcealedCarryApp for its convinience as opposed to having to sign in through a web page.

Hello,
ConcealedCarryApp was working great until just a couple of days ago, starting August 27th, 2020. Every time I pull up ConcealedCarryApp , it acts like it wants to load and then just stalls and closes. Kind of annoying since I’m my phone more than a PC during certain time in the day.

Other than that, when ConcealedCarryApp was working it was great. The only issue was pulling up the CCW map.

Nice app don’t get me wrong. But I wish as a member we had access to more like the training and online courses possibly. I use mostly my phone and don’t have access to a desktop/laptop or a tablet. Hoping in the future maybe ConcealedCarryApp will be revamped and can include access to everything we get through the desktop site.

This is generally a good app, except for the Concealed Carry Magazine reader. The reader only shows about 2/3 of each page, which makes it totally useless. It has been this way for sometime and they don’t seem to be interested in fixing it. The reader is also no full screen.

I have been a member since before the USCCA offered insurance and have always been very impressed and happy with the service I have received. I would have given 10 stars if it was an option. I especially appreciate the monthly payments option as I am on a fixed income.

I have been a proud, supportive member of the USCCA since July 2016.
This is a great app which incorporates most every feature pertaining to the USCCA. It is very user friendly and informative.
My only “complaint” is the inability to view the individual state CCW laws on my iPhone SE. (The iPhone SE is the same physical size as the iPhone 5 series and incorporates the internal circuitry of the iPhone 6 series).

I’m a USCCA member, and ConcealedCarryApp offers a great amount of account Access to the reciprocity map to the concealed carry magazine. However; the one issue I seem to have is even though I’ve logged into my account; it doesn’t register that I have an active membership. Once this issue is fixed; ConcealedCarryApp will be near perfect. However until it’s fixed it will remain at 2 stars from me

When I first downloaded it, it would crash on iPhone Within 10-15 Seconds of Opening Every Time. This stopped happening as soon as I updated my iOS. In fact, I found this out when I emailed to inform USCCA of the problem. They were very helpful. NICE APP!

USCCA is easily one if the best decisions I’ve made and the peace of mind with my Platinum membership (considering upgrading to Elite). Cust Ser has always been awesome and ConcealedCarryApp has continually been updated and is now a true resource. Thx so much for the continuous updates and improvements and if you could simply add fingerprint id to ConcealedCarryApp you will easily have 5 stars! Will always be a proud USCCA member regardless

Crashes when I try to add my membership card to Wallet so that feature is useless, and frustratingly you can’t rotate the screen when reading the magazine, so it’s really hard to read on an iPhone. I hope they’ll spend some time making ConcealedCarryApp better.
