DFAS, Info2Go Reviews

by Bnamdws29

I see a common theme with TRADOC apps. They don’t really do anything but act as a go between from the end user to a website. They just have menus, a snippet of info, and links to existing websites. This is no different. All this does is reorganize some links that go straight to the DFAS website. Someone actually allocated funding for that... how wasteful. I stumbled on podcasts in DFASInfo2Go, which are unsurprisingly non functional as well. The audio will play for a second and pause. You keep hitting play and it just pauses. It would be funny if it wasn’t so sad.

Does not work
I try to access my pay mobile and it does not accept my log in

I have changed it on my desk top and phone and still won’t work

Totally worthless

by Grape Smuggler

Completely worthless. It’s just an app that has FAQ’s and links to the already-worthless websites. No ability to access mypay/LES thru DFASInfo2Go ...you still need to go to the website and log in with UN/PW or CAC.

I find it funny that we have the technology to drop a 5,000lb bomb on a pack of gum from half way across the globe...but I cant access my LES from my mobile device which uses face recognition and fingerprints for identification.

We need an app that's able to check our monthly LES for military and civilian personnel. Not an app that links us to the DFAS website. If I need to know more about DFAS, I would just go directly to the website and not have an app take up valuable space on my iPhone.

DFASInfo2Go is poorly designed and not pleasing to look at. Can we please hire real developers to work on DOD approved apps so we can keep up with other apps in the store. Let's keep up with technology people.

There's hundreds of thousands of DOD employees and even soldiers that can benefit from this single app,where we can benefit from seeing our LES, let's make it happen

After sitting through yet another extremely long and barely informative finance brief, lead by a Korean lady who could barely speak Engurish, we were forced to wait in a cold auditorium while waiting to get a stamp to prove we attended the brief. Obviously because we are incapable of simply going to the brief, getting the information and leaving. But I digress. Afterwards we were advised of a great DFAS app we should download. I'm not even sure what DFASInfo2Go does or what it's purpose is. I can't even open it on my phone. There are literally countless other things I could be doing while waiting and moreover other things the limited space on my iPhone could have been filled with other than a purple app icon that does nothing but raise my already high blood pressure. The smooth features of the icon are nice though. Also, the purple coloring does sooth me. The font is professional, and yet quirky and fun. Like it's saying, "Hey, there pal. Download me. I'm a good time. I'm helpful. Touch me. Touch me with your finger. Do it." On second thought DFASInfo2Go is wonderful. Exactly what a grumpy soldier needs to ease his body and mind. Great app, do recommend.

Just gives you links to sites

Complete waste of time and memory!

DFASInfo2Go is nothing more than a collection of links and a web browser wrapper. And a poor one, at that.

I tried using for mypay; I touched the button for it and DFASInfo2Go opened up the dfas web site with no browser buttons; no "back," no "reload," and not even a "close!" The only way to get back to DFASInfo2Go was to shut it down completely and restart it.

Why bother? Everything in DFASInfo2Go is better accessible with chrome or safari. Bookmark the sites yourself and leave DFASInfo2Go properly ignored.

Completely useless. Don’t even bother to download and install

by SYFFUF(T&P)

Just links n junk, think of a handbook they give you when you out process. That’s all this is... electronic trash

by Javier Rover

DFASInfo2Go is just okay and needs a feature where I can use fingerprint login. Otherwise why not just login on the web using safari. Your app is a disappointment and I know you can do better.

by Gold_squadron

DFASInfo2Go does one thing: provide links to websites. Want to check MyPay? You are better off searching on Google and bookmarking the site. At least you can save 50mb space on your phone.

by Lootcifer.exe

Downloaded DFASInfo2Go to check mypay and nope, just an app that has a FAQ page and will literally just link you to the webpage if you want to check the LES. How more useless can this get? Waste of time and resources but it lives up to the Army’s philosophy of redundancy and overcomplicated outdated systems that don’t work for anything.

by Rule7SS

Utterly useless application. If I wanted to go to the DFAS website to access MyPay data then I wouldn’t be getting an app. I’d go to the website. Click on mypay within DFASInfo2Go and it opens the webpage in safari for IOS. No ability to fingerprint login to account and see MyPay data. Until app developer makes this a useable interface to access pay data just don’t waste your time installing it.

by Why1467

This does not allow you to check your LES. What a waste of money

by Herenful

If you go to the Facebook DFAS webpage you will find the posting that actually recommends DFASInfo2Go .

I rescind my original one-star review and warning.

There's a lot of misinformation and confusion about DFASInfo2Go. This is indeed an authorized DFAS app, although DFAS themselves seem to be confused about that point. I personally called DFAS in regards to DFASInfo2Go 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 DFASInfo2Go 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 DFASInfo2Go 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 DFASInfo2Go .

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 DFASInfo2Go 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.

Good first release, can't wait to see what gets added down the road. Needs civilian pay information too. Fonts are hard to read against the background (probably because its a serif font). There is a bug where you can't go back once you leave DFASInfo2Go - have to close it out completely and start over.
