DFAS, Info2Go Software

I rescind my original one-star review and warning. There's a lot of misinformation and confusion about this app. This is indeed an authorized DFAS app, although DFAS themselves seem to be confused about that point. I personally called DFAS in regards to this app and they claimed to know nothing about it. I then did a bit more research and made some calls. The Sustainment Center of Excellence (SCoE) Mobile team, the creator of this and other military-related apps, is a small US Army sponsored shop out of Fort Lee, Virginia. They are working to have a link or article placed on the DFAS homepage acknowledging this app as valid. As we all know, this can be a long process. But don't take my word on this! Do your own research and you should come to the same conclusion that I did. As for the app itself, it's an excellent reference tool. There's numerous links to lots of good pay related information in a well-organized format. It also does NOT collect any PII. There is a link to MyPay, but that link leads directly the MyPay website, and no personal information actually goes through the app. So to sum up - great app, it is authorized (DFAS just needs to acknowledge it), and it does *not* collect PII!

According to the DFAS website: "Smartphone myPay users beware! App stores are offering myPay apps claiming to make your smartphone access easier or more productive. WRONG! Other than the DFAS Info2Go app, there are no officially sanctioned myPay apps and those that are available only take you to the myPay mobile site already available and designed specifically for smartphones and tablets. Those who download and use the third party apps may even have their user names and passwords compromised without their knowledge. See the alert from the Army’s Computer Crime Investigative Unit for more info."

I'm recently retired from the military and happened upon this app by accident. This needs to be advertised more by VA reps, Commands, Units, Squadrons, whatever means necessary. This is a great tool, just like other tools that the military puts out there that doesn't get publicized enough and gets forgotten about.
