Army app store advances, tries to damage through bureaucracy’s defenses

The Army Marketplace might be mired in bureaucratic muck, however the depot for mobile military apps isn’t simply stagnating in a stack of paperwork somewhere. Developers and commanders are still pushing forward with the project and hoping for the most efficient valuable. There are already 17 apps for Android and 16 for iPhones, created as portion of the Apps for the military contest last year, and architects have whipped up prototypes for the homepage (above) and personalized user pages (after the break) where soldiers can post ideas for apps, request features from devs, and write reviews. The executive of the military’s Mobile Applications Branch, Lt. Col. Gregory Motes, hopes the Marketplace will make its debut at LandWarNet in August, although there won’t be any approved smartphones to access it for several months after that. A minimum of the army claim one victory, when its app store launches it’ll have already got more titles than TegraZone .
