New iPhone app helps IRs access career resources

BUCKLEY AIR FORCE BASE, Colo. -- In June, the Headquarters Individual Reservist Readiness and Integration Organization released a mobile app that allows Individual Reservists to quickly access important career resources directly from their Apple devices.
  

The HQ RIO Mobile App for iOS devices can be download for free from the Apple App Store.

This new application places valuable career resources at the fingertips of Individual Reservists, without the need for them to remember a complicated web address. It offers direct access to resources located on the HQ RIO website, including information on readiness, finance, travel, and contact information. It features an option to email HQ RIO directly. 

The app also includes HQ RIO, Air Reserve Personnel Center and Air Force news feeds to keep members up-to-date on the latest news and information.

To download the app, launch the App Store from your iOS mobile device, search “HQ RIO” and select “Get” and then “Install.”

The app was developed by HQ RIO and the Air Reserve Personnel Center “Skunkworks” team.

“Our vision is for IRs to be able to easily access important news and information from anywhere in the world, any time of the day,” said Senior Master Sgt. Deana Rossi, HQ RIO plans and programs, who was a driving force behind the project.

The HQ RIO App is currently only available for Apple devices.
