Is the Army Reserve "Double Eagle" app useful?

Has anyone tried it, more importantly has anyone found it useful? I'm trying not to judge too quickly but i haven't been impressed so far.

I downloaded it the other day. I’ve yet to log into my email and verify the account yet though.

I haven’t toyed with the latest version, but when it first came out it appeared to be more gimmick and marketing than real-world information. One of our greatest struggles in the reserves is communication and the challenge of accessing the sorts of meaningful content and systems necessary to “stay green” on the trackers that matter. This means we need less PT score calculators and more RAG statuses that can be meaningfully actioned from a mobile environment. Let me download my clothing record, schedule a DA Photo, and request edits to my SRB through a platform that doesn’t require me to fumble around MilitaryCAC for hours to set up a card reader. If senior leaders can have .mil enabled iPads (as I have before), why can’t we make it easy for every Soldier to communicate on the move?

I never got the conformation email so I can't set up an account. I emailed the contact for help and still nothing. So I am just going to write it off.
