This is the reason I got a 95 on my written exam I rarely ever purchase apps but this one was worth all the money Don t be a fool buy this study tool                     Awesome study tool Steb 345

Crashes after deleting a few test sessions I never finished Not updated for iPhone X Otherwise this is an ok app             Not updated for X and occasional crashes SeriousBsns

Used this app in conjunction with the ASA private pilot test prep and got a 90 I would recommend this to everyone who plans on getting their license                     Use this app Sambo Slyce

Used this as well as a Gleim textbook as a secondary study tool I ll credit this app to the reason I passed with a high score A solid 2 weeks 3 hours a day I used this app The real test took me 40 minutes and a majority of the questions were the same you d see on this app Using the Instrument version now Would highly recommend to anyone                     Great App csmith401

I used this app along with many other study sources This app was my 1 study resource Because of this app I scored a 97 on my written test On the actual written test itself I only found one question that I wasn t familiar with Some recommendations notes I would advice everyone is to check if the figures in the app match your actual figures book as the figures book in the app did not match the current figures book Lots of questions are repeated in the section which isn t a big complaint for me because it helped me remember the question but could be annoying for other people If you want to be like me and score a 97 or greater I really recommend buying this app Make sure you study EVERYTHING                     Great app Reneir.

There are not nearly as many questions as the ASA prepware book has Also no ability to search for specific questions Waste of 10         Not many questions to look at Teku1998

I used this to pass my written and it helped a lot I had used a different online school but I needed something that can work without a connection and this helped Only recommendations are Wish we had more sample test questions from the FAA I did notice that one question from the FAA sample test is not in the study test REIM GPS question Wish progress and reviews worked across devices with iCloud                     Great Prep GaryRudolph

Wonderful app for those who are trying to pass the Private Pilot written test got an 92 on the test thanks to this app enough said                     Great app Rafe92

App is okish Looks like it was designed when windows 98 was a thing best suggestion is not to buy from this store Awful experiences all around     App is ok Spud4780

Used this app and got a 82 really helps prepare you for the test                     great app Jt bicker

Just took my private pilot exam today and scored a 93 I m amazed at how much this app helped me prepare and highly recommend it For 10 compared the the thousands spent on training it s a no brainer I ll share my studying strategy with it for anyone interested in case it helps give you ideas It s essentially just studying the test over and over again but it definitely helped me iron out some weak areas and help me grasp certain concepts better So the total time between downloading the app and taking the test was about three weeks for me The first two weeks I took the test a few times a day with a day or two off here and there to let things breath During this time I didn t review my wrong answers as intensely as in week three but I did skip around through some of the flash card study drills I had two scores in the high 60s early on and several high 70s By the end of week two I was in the 80s During the third week I only took the test portion once per day But I started aggressively reviewing my wrong answers at this point and reworking the longer problems and taking screen shots on my phone of questions I got wrong and the correct answers to review I consistently scored in the 90s this third week and as high as 95 The morning of my exam I didn t take a practice test but focused on the flash card learning drills with an emphasis on questions I hadn t seen before I hope this helps Note that even with all this review I did see two questions I had never come across before on the actual exam But if you can get all the other questions correct it still puts you in the 90s Good luck aviators                     93 on first try Must have tool Sfhkuygggflkbg

I would over and over take the practice test to the point where I was averaging upper 80s and lower 90s I thought I was going to destroy the test when I got to the test sight but I was bummed out and kinda frustrated when there were a bunch of questions that I have never seen before I scored an 82 percent which isn t terrible however I think I could have gotten much higher if the questions on the app were updated                 Passed but Alec c man

This test prep app was right on the money for taking the private pilot written exam Money well spent                     Awesome app TJ Houghton

This app was great For a few weeks I would take a couple tests a day I was averaging high 80 s low 90 s ended up getting an 87 More than happy                     Passed first try DrEwU23

Did the practice tests over and over and was placing in the low to mid 80s Just took the test and got an 85 Most of the questions for word for word Do yourself a favor and get this                     Get it Tamriche

After training for almost 4 years on and off I turned to this app to help me study for my written Well I must say it definitely did the job I must ve taken the practice test at least 30 times over the last week and a half took me about 30 mins each time and I saw my score gradually increase from 50 s to an average of 88 Took the exam today and I passed with a 77 There are a few questions on the written that were not on my practice tests but most of them are verbatim This app was definitely well worth it                     It did the job I passed ELWTVR

This is the only test prep I used while studying for my written and I just took the test today and passed with an 80 I was getting 80 90 on the practice exams before I took the real thing and saw a majority of the same questions Of course there were some questions I hadn t seen before on it as well But if you study regularly and are passing the practice exams with a high score they should be no sweat Do yourself a favor and buy this app if you re preparing for your written test You won t regret it Now Onto my check ride Good luck                     Passed Hbacesjr

Passed my PPL written on the first try And THIS app had a lot to do with it Questions are good and similar to FAA written Word of advice which was passed on to me I suggest taking the FAA written only when you are consistently getting 85 or better on these Then you ll be prepared for anything on the written                     Very helpful Moserhof

I scored for your ppl exam                     Good app Akeemhinkson00

The way that the app is set up on the learning mode all the answers and explanations for the right and wrong answers are listed in a pop up multiple choice quiz The Flash card section is a bonus section that makes you recall the answer instead of recognize the answer These are the exact same questions word for word as in the learning mode section You can use the learning section as flash cards if you want to The questions are all organized by topic and are very easy to find the answer if you can not recall the answer with a good explanation                     Answer to the question Where are the answers Hypnozz

I reccommend it for any student pilot helped me alot 57D ray                     Very good app locsterman

I used King Schools during my training but wanted an additional study aid on my phone I scored in the 90s and it is because of this app Word for word test questions This is really only good for memorization to pass the test but that is all it is trying to be                     Perfect Drakecarlson

This is a great app overall but I would have to recommend the ASA app over this one for the strict fact that they stay up to date on the latest FAA questions     Needs to update more often PrivateMatt

Used this and kingschools Great supplement Got a 95                     95 Lizard Man Dan

The FAA written test is a multiple choice memorization game which means flashcards are the best way to train for it This app shows all the questions but none of the answers Which completely misses the point of a flash card prep app which is to get you to where you can recognize the right answer to the question It was ten bucks wasted Off to cut up my Jeppesen test prep book get some glue and three by fives and build my own set             Where are the answers NoOneOfConsequence

The app is a great way to practice test questions that are exactly like the questions on the actual test There are over 700 practice questions and they have full explanations with solutions It s by far the easiest way to study and ensure a passing grade                     Absolutely Fantastic C172PilotEngineer

This app is a great resource I highly recommend it                     Perfect Study guide buy it dkndyii

I was using the Gleim study software and only scoring in the high 70s and low 80s I started using this app and after only 2 weeks I scored a 94 on my FAA written This is well worth the money                     The best study app Farming master of the universe

Used this for my PPL written prep Scored a 95 Awesome Now using the instrument study prep                     Great Zach7177

By far the best study tool for the private pilot knowledge test I wouldn t have passed without it Thanks                     study buddy HollywoodDJ

This app is great I can t stop using it It s real simple and so easy to use Makes me want to study Safe flying                     Awesome Jmprz

I had used other online sources for testing from places like Gliem but there soft ware was hard to use and inconvenient I was recommended this from a friend and bought it which for 10 I thought was very reasonable The app has all the questions you will see on the test and many are word for word the same as what I saw The best part is you can take many practice tests and find out what you missed restudy and take them again With the app on my iPhone it was a great way to burn time and prep for the test I would definitely recommend the app and I will be getting the IFR version in a year or so when I go for my instrument rating                     Most helpful tool used to pass written test B-rad17

This app was excellent to prepare for my test with Love the different modes Study Flashcard and Exam Mode 600 questions available Pretty much all the ones that came up in my test were familiar to me Got a great score and enjoyed studying for it Now if anything you want to learn had such a great study tool as this app                     Passed the written Private Pilot exam easily Honest Review!

Used to kinda work Now it crashes EVERY single time without fail cannot use the app     This app is useless Clarkjdavis

GOOD The format functionality of the app is great the different learning modes for aspiring beginner pilots preparing for their written FAA exams could almost serve as a direct replacement to many expensive ground school courses intended to help an aspiring pilot pass the written exam If your goal is to just barely pass the written exam with the minimum amount of time invested and you have no aspirations to become a professional pilot where those test scores actually reflect on you personally GREAT Especially if you love your iPad iPhone and hate reading through those troublesome books with all that extra stuff actually explaining why things work the way they do in flight and prefer the brute force method of just learning the correct answers to specific questions for the most part see ugly BAD When in Learning Mode and you touch Show Explanations it would be generous of me to say that half the questions actually have explanations helpful in building your knowledge rather than just brute forcing you through to the correct answer for when you take the written test Questions involving see figure XX are at best sufficient on the simple questions e g taxi w x wind basic guages etc but much more likely require you swap back forth between the question and figure so often that it s easier to just write down the question on some scrap paper while you look at the figure Given that a good 10 20 of the see figure XX questions require plotters and measurements impossible to accomplish accurately on your iDevice you can mitigate this by simply printing off all the figure XX s on paper in the correct scale and referencing those instead of touching the see figure button Would still be nice to have the question stay on the screen while viewing the figure for those 80 of questions accurate plotter measurements aren t required UGLY So far on this app I m about 250 questions into what looks like around 800 programmed into the app and have already encountered flat out incorrect out of date answers Not little things either serious stuff like causing a runway incursion that could result in at best ATC instructing you to file a mandatory report and maybe getting your license pulled reviewed or at worst even contributing to a ground collision on an active runway This is an example of a regulation that went into force in mid 2010 the Sporty s app v1 0 was released in early 2011 Here we are 3 years and a bunch of app updates later and I m still getting taught how to ignore the aviation equivalent of STOP or RR X ing signs Maybe all the other 800 answers are correct but once you hit one so wrong that it puts your license life in jeopardy it kinda shakes your confidence in the app to teach you the rest END RESULT Still a great and helpful app to help you with the written exam when used in concert with actual flight training from a CFI and ground school curriculum NOT any kind of substitute to save unless you just don t care about your record showing a barely passing score and are just getting your license for fun         The good bad and ugly in ths app driukas
