Yes! VetsApp, the essential app for military veterans, is absolutely free. You’ll see occasional ads in the app–this keeps the app free and help us pay our people to keep it operational.

We do not collect personally identifiable information. Any time you need to access a VA.gov application or service (like managing your health or applying for benefits) we send you out of VetsApp and directly to the exact VA.gov application you need. Once at VA.gov, you’ll log in securely with your VA information.

No, VetsApp is not affiliated in any way with the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). VetsApp is a community that connects Veterans to the benefits they have earned. It is owned and operated by veterans, and it is featured in AARP’s list of the top 20 mobile apps for military and veterans. While VetsApp streamlines secure access to many VA services such as applying for VA health and benefits, appointment booking, secure health messaging, viewing your military records, applying for a VA home loan, and accessing GI Bill benefits, we send y0u out of the app to complete those services so you can log in securely to VA.gov.

If you have questions regarding your VA health and benefits, including login information, assistance completing forms or checking claims statuses, or any other question specifically related to VA, you should contact VA directly at the MyVA411 main information line at 800-698-2411.

VetsApp, the essential app for military veterans, is absolutely free, but it costs money to keep the app operational. We fund app development and maintenance by serving ads through the Google Ad Mob platform. If you’d like to partner with us to connect our users with your products or services, while helping to support VetsApp and its veteran community at the same time, get in touch.

If you’re a Veteran in crisis, please contact the Veterans Crisis Line immediately at 1-800-273-8255, option 1. You can also use VetsApp to find other convenient ways to text or IM with someone at the Veterans Crisis Line. They’re standing by 24X7, and they can connect you with the help you need, whether that’s treatment, resources, or just someone to talk to.
