An Army NCO created a 'one stop shop' app to help US service members in South Korea. Has anyone heard of this and used it?

I was there in 77-78. I lived in the ville so I wish I had this technology back then. But, we did fine, such a great culture. It WAS an unaccompanied tour but my wife had a passport and a visa so she got there in 6 days after me. Gave me time to have a 4 room hut built with a thatched roof. It made our Korean land lady famous in the village. They had never seen a round-eyed blonde woman and 4 year old boy with long blond curls halfway down his back. I paid her (even though she would get the huts when I left) a can of coffee every month. I got 5 other guys to bring their wives over so we had a little American Village IN the Village.

I too was living in the ville back in 1984-85 and the best technology we had then was Ondol heating systems to heat our floors up during those cold a$$ winters (when we were not living in the field)! hahaha

I wish we had the internet in '85-'86. I was out at CSCT3 in apartments. I would have saved a lot of money on phones calls back to Ft. Hood.

I was there in 79/80 at Cp Hovey and 82/83 at Pan Mun Jom then Cp Greaves my last 3 months. I would have loved to have the internet back then. Hell I wish I had a computer back then to store my pictures on. Then I would not have lost them all. :(

No I have not heard about this app. But it sounds like it very useful from the comments that I've read.

Currently use it. It's a great app. Can call on post taxis and deliver food to your barracks ordering online from the px. Great info from the 8th army and current events. It has helped me out countless times.

How many of your friends use it? I'm curious about this story and how it works. The article says the soldier taught himself programming though Google and YouTube.
