Great for Review!
I used this app, along with the Pilot’s Handbook of Aeronautical Knowledge and Gold Seal’s Ground School and other FAA resources to get a 92% on my written! Would definitely recommend getting this app!
Not like real exam
Maybe 1 out of 10 questions relate to the FAA exam. I got a 75 on my real exam but was constantly getting 95-100 on sportys.
NOT REAL TEST QUESTIONS
I read some positive reviews here and saw YouTube videos mentioning that this was essentially similar to Sheppard air FAA test dumps. Took the written 10/2024 and I’d say only ~40% of the questions I saw were in this app. The app is great for studying and making sure you understand the format and how to solve the real questions, but DO NOT just memorize these answers because you will fail the written.
Mediocre
If you have never compared multiple private pilot study guides,then you probably think this is an excellent tool. It’s not. Not even close
Pretty good app except for the test mode (same questions)
I am enjoying the app and the learning mode but I get a bit frustrated with the test mode where the 60 questions are always the same, just drawn in a different sequence at each new test. It’s lame when there are more than 1,000 questions in the app. Any way to fix this and have 60 questions randomly taken from all the database at each test session?
January 2026 PASSED
Did well on the written exam. Most of these questions are VERBATIM on the exa!. Some things I would recommend studying that I didn’t see in this app are Soft/Short Field landings and gust factor! Good luck everyone!
Worthless
I completed this app all 1000 questions took several test prep questions and feel confident to take the real exam how ever this app does not give you a endorsement. You have to purchase the full course on Sporty’s web page. If you purchase on the web page you don’t need this app. So the app is worthless and a waste of time. You will have to use this app, google and YouTube to fully understand it. Don’t bother with this app just get the actual course.
Passed my PAR exam with 93%
I used the app a lot, along with their free test prep on their website. So some reason the app kept giving me repeat questions on the test. So I supplemented my studies with their website test and used the Gleim study book. Between those three sources I had a very well grounded study guide to accompany my online ground school from Jeppesen.
Good
This app is very clean. It works very well on my tablet, but does not save my progress at all on my phone. I have to start all over again and I cant keep track like I can on my tablet. Overall a good app. Have not taken the FAA test, so cant compare the accuracy at the current time, but looks like simple questions and answers/explanation
Gets the job done!
Took my time and went through all the “learning mode” modules. Took my PAR today and got a 87. I’d advise to look at parking procedures, what to do for emergency landing procedures, and where in the traffic pattern you may encounter power-on-stalls. These things appeared on my test. Good luck everyone
DONT BUY
DO NOT BUY. many of the questions are outdated and simply untrue and you can easily find out by fact checking through a quick google search. DO NOT BUY.
Useful and well designed- still no match for GLEIM
This app should be used as a supplement for the GLEIM book, when you don’t have the book, use this app, but otherwise, the book would be the way to go. One thing that’s nice about this app is that the explanations for each answer are easier to understand, however less technical. Overall though, much better than any other apps.
Not updated for X and occasional crashes
Crashes after deleting a few test sessions I never finished. Not updated for iPhone X Otherwise this is an ok app 🤷♂️
Affordable Prep with Value
Instead of spending hundreds of dollars on courses, studying through the question banks (Learning Mode) helped me achieve what I needed through my PPL written journey. I loved the different mode, especially with options to take simulated tests and ability to review both Learning & Test sessions I had completed. While the explanations aren’t perfect, given the price, this app is a great self-studying tool.
Test mode crashing
Overall great app but the reason I’m giving it one star is because in the test mode I’ve had the app crash on several occasions. Nothing more frustrating than almost completing a test and losing all you progress.
Great app, couple changes needed
Overall awesome study tool. As others have said, you need to be able to have your 'flagged' questions saved so you can go over them at any time. Second, unless I'm missing something, the cross country section is basically impossible to do on your phone. The distances and course headings should be given. There's no way to measure them otherwise and you can't complete the E6B practice.
Really appreciate the app!
This app was great practice for the PAR exam, along with some studying from the PHAK (which I understand you can download for free from the FAA if you don’t want a physical book), and some further research on how to do calculations with the help of the AI on the internet. I would recommend picking 1 topic at a time in learning mode, as well as making notes as you continue to do your own research on the topics in the PHAK. So don’t try to cover all topics in one day though, as there are over 1000 questions in the question bank. Once you feel confident, give the test mode a go and just keep at it. Give yourself enough time to prepare for the test as well. This is for the foundation of your future, so it’s well worth investing in. I studied 2-5 hours almost everyday for about 3 weeks and passed the test first time around, so I’m sure most people will be able to succeed if they put in the effort. Lastly, get yourself a e6b or electronic flight computer, a physical sectional chart, and some scratch paper. It will put you ahead of the game for the future if you grasp the basics of calculating center of gravity, course correction/wind correction angles, and can actually read a map when in a pinch!
Horrible layout. Not worth the money.
Terrible. Just terrible.
Passed my Exam at 88% - thanks study buddy!
I used study buddy to train for my PPL exam and just passed 88%. The app is extremely helpful and fun to use. For a five-star rating, please add the possibility to save "marked" questions across several sessions to review them later.
got an 88% on my written
i used sportys as my sole study guide and i passed with an 88%. sportys is basically an exact replica of the exact things you’ll be tested on by the faa. would recommend
Excellent
I pass with 87 nice tool
Amazing app for people with 0 knowledge.
I would give this app 6 stars if I could. I aced my written test and it was all thanks to this app alone. $15, but will be the foundation of all of your aviation careers.
Great but fix wordage
Perfect app but the medical questions have wordage wrong. It’s not 5 years later…it’s 60 calendar months per FAR/AIM etc…that got me into trouble
Nice
Nice apps, using this easy app i finish my Written 90%
