Great app over all
As I said the app is great over all. Just a few changes I would like to see. A pause button for when you are doing the simulated test is the main one. Sometimes life gets in the way and you have to stop to tend to other things. Also, I wish there was a bank for all the practice tests and the simulated test to where you could go back and look at what you got wrong. Instead you get to see that right after you take the test and then if you accidentally back out there’s no way to go back in and look at it. (At least not to my knowledge). And last but not least it would be nice when you passed a section, if it left your grade beside it so you could know which ones you have passed and which ones you still need to work on. But a great study platform none the less.
It’s ok. But just ok.
It’s got a lot of content. The questions seem to be the same set that everyone else has. I had to supplement this with YouTube videos, flash cards, and the PHAK. The cartoon emojis that show up on the quiz questions are a bit juvenile. Lastly, their content reporting mechanism is completely worthless. You try and report ambiguities or mistakes and they automatically reject it. There are better courses out there.
Marginal
Can’t seem to open the app without it having to again update… like every time… I’m a developer, never used an app that constantly has to be updated… so annoying
Amazing Customer Service
I don’t know how big this group is but I had a problem and they fixed it ASAP. Buy *all their things*.
Just updated and was cut off from what I had purchased…
Just updated and was cut off from what I had purchased…hen they are trying to get more-money and treating me like a new customer…is that the scam you are running?
Sweet app, but there is TOO many updates
Great studying tool, and I appreciate the effort to keep the app updated, but there is seriously too many updates. Been using it for a couple months now and I can’t even remember a time I’ve opened the app and not had to do another update, either in-app, here on the app store, or both. If you don’t have great internet all the time, good luck.
Good questions but terrible app
Worked for about a week and now I can’t use it anymore. Reset password and all but still can’t login.
Great info just crashes too much
I would give this app a 5 if it wasn’t for the fact that I am consistently being logged out and right now I’m having difficulty in logging back on to finish my almost completed course.
It’s good
It’s good
Do not bother
Have spent days just trying to create a account and cannot do it. Every time I think I have done it and try to log in it does not recognize my email. Tech help is nonexistent!
One fatal flaw
This app could be great but it has one fatal flaw for my use case. I use this when I’m traveling, as an additional tool in my private pilot course study. But this app constantly needs to update the database, like every few times I open it. And if it wants to that when you’re on a plane or a train in Europe where you have bad internet it becomes useless. PLEASE MAKE THE UPDATES OPTIONAL so users in a bad or no internet situation can continue to use the app and update later.
PPL prep
Very thorough course gives good foundation. Great graphics. Easy to follow.
Errors in grading and needs many improvements.
Just took a test that I scored 91.6% but realized that the app was not marking my answer choices correctly so it gave me an 80%. This means that many of my previous tests were not graded correctly. It marked questions I answered correctly as incorrect. It also doesn’t save work or allow you to refer back to previous exams. Needs so much work it’s very frustrating.
Passed with an 80%
I’m ok with that grade. I passed with strictly using this app for a month straight.
Must have before the test
This app helped me so much at getting ready for the PPL written test. A MUST!! Super clever design.
Very limited
This app is very limited without the ground school. And for any questions referring to sectional charts, you can not zoom in on the sectional chart. It will only show one view or “magnification”. That’s a ripoff for IPad users
Charts
This app has been helpful thus far but I can’t seem to figure out how to draw lines on the charts during questions I’m not sure if I’m just oblivious to the feature or if it doesn’t exist but it’s hard to see how well your doing if you some of the questions you get wrong isn’t because you don’t know the answer but because the precision required can’t be completed because you physically can’t draw on the charts. Also a lock zoom button would be great because when I get the zoom correctly so that my in hand scale matches the scale given on the key once locked into the position you can no longer scroll the map and if you unlock it you risk the zoom changing and throwing off your calculations Update: I managed to pass my PAR with a 100%, would be five star if you were able to select the amount of zoom and keep it that way for more accurate measurements, or adding the protractor into the app.
Helped me pass the FAA exam
After going through this class I sat the private pilot FAA exam and got a 98%. Highly recommended online class.
Won’t install on my iPad
Downloads 154 MB then freezes at the install phase. I’ve uninstalled and reinstalled to the same effect. And devs response was to be snarky. Lovely. Seems to be their response to anyone with tech issues. I’ll increase the rating because it finally works.
Thank you
The app is great in that it always keeps the status of the question I'm studying in case I accidentally exit. With my experience studying a lot of apps, I think you should add more. 1 is to add sound when choosing the correct answer to stimulate learning, making it less quiet and boring. 2. I see that there are many sentences missing in the book even though I have registered as a member and paid. 3. You should have a separate guide for each chapter and a 50-question practice test selected by chapter. btw lsf thank you very much for helping me.
Downloads whole database each time
Requires re-downloading the whole database way too often, almost every time I start it.
Clutch
Thank you so very much for creating this app!!! I have used it to study an ungodly amount of times… the practice exams are so realistic and the fact they provide the FARs and AIMs in the explanations just makes it that much easier to slide into preparation for the oral exam. Wouldn’t have succeeded without this
Great especially for the price
I got my private studying on this app in combination with good ground training. If you consider that this is free, this app is unbeatable.
Written test
I’m apart of a 141 school so I had gained some knowledge from that, however I really only used this app to study for the FAA written and I passed with an 85! I’ve heard a ton of people say nobody really knows what on the written test but a few of the questions on this app were directly on that test. Thank you for making this free and reliable!
Brilliant App
I used several resources to study for my written exam and then found this gem of an app. The questions are great, but what’s better is the awesome explanations and figures they have. Truly teaching the “why” behind each question, down to the finer details. You’ll understand the root of each question an answer. Truly making better and safer pilots! Can’t recommend enough.
