AFI Explorer - Essential publication access for today's Air Force.
Not an official U.S. Air Force application
Version History - Find publications from anywhere. Type a number like "36-2903" in Spotlight on your Home Screen, and tap the result to open that publication in AFI Explorer. Search works with the number alone, with or without spaces, and with legacy AF names, so "AFI 36-2903" finds DAFI 36-2903.
- Open publications with Siri. Say "Open AFI 36-2903 in AFI Explorer" to go straight to it.
- Ask questions with Siri and Shortcuts. Say "Ask AFI Explorer" to get an answer without opening the app. Siri reads the answer aloud with the cited publications, and you can pass the answer to other actions in your shortcuts. As in the Answers tab, AI-generated answers can contain mistakes, so check the cited publications.
- Bug fixes and reliability improvements. 4.8.0 6d ago Search now stays on the Search tab instead of following you between tabs.
Publication titles read in normal title case instead of all capitals.
Answers come back formatted — headings, lists, and tables instead of plain text — and a new Included Publications view shows what Answers can draw from. Each answer now carries a reminder to check the official publication.
On Mac, window sizing, the sidebar, and the Library's empty state are fixed.
Also fixed: refreshing repeatedly no longer imports publications twice, bookmarks keep their state, and a failed first load offers a Try Again button. 4.7.0 Sep 22 You can now sort your saved publications in the library — find what you’re looking for faster, your way.
Loading states now appear when opening bookmarks and detail views, so the app always feels responsive while content loads.
