Prepware Commercial Pilot

Overall very good for quizzing and testing yourself. However, the “save quiz” feature seems completely useless. You also can’t skip between questions in a specific category. (ie. If there’s 100 aerodynamics questions, you just have to cycle through all of them randomly with no reference numbers) This app could use a bit of an upgrade for user-friendliness

- I have lost my study progress multiple times by now which is super frustrating if in the middle of a long section where I want to be sure I saw every question at least once I switch to another app and then back to this app and it sometimes jumps back to the main screen instead of the active study session with no “Resume” button, so progress is lost. Kicking the questions off for that question again will randomly mix them up even in study mode so I need to start from scratch. At the very least default to no mix-up of the study questions, and if some users want to study randomly then by all means give them that option as a setting. - Also, jumping back and forth between the questions and the reference material is quite awkward when there are several parameters to be kept in mind; there should be a better way of designing the app on the iPad. - The section with the explanation of the correct response is too small and oftentimes requires awkward scrolling even for short explanations. - Lastly, the graded quizzes are not being recorded so I can’t see my progress over time. Such functionality should be a given in any training software. The only reason this software gets two stars and not just one from me is that the questions are being kept up-to-date.

Commercial Pilot - Airplane: I enjoy the overall function once I figured out the nuances, like if you exit without saving, you resume at your last saved starting point and NOT where you left off. Frustrating detail, but manageable. IFR operations, only one question? Really? Also there are numerous incomplete test questions that force you to guess...this is why I’m reluctant to give a 2-star. Fix the database questions at minimum! As it sits I’m done with this app and going a different route...hopefully this will get corrected on the next update.

I studied using this app for about two months before taking my written test today. About 40 percent of the questions were exact. The majority of the questions will give you an idea of what is actually on the FAA written, but the exact questions are different. To give an example, I was getting 90 percent and above all week using the practice test on the app, but on the actual written test, I scored a 72...

Today is March 3, 2018. Took my test today and passed with 85%. I answered correctly every question on the test that was similar to or word for word identical to ASAs question bank. Therefore, I'd say ASAs test bank is roughly 85% effective. This prepare did not cover dew point/lapse rate/VOR-HSI questions very well so I missed most of those. Overall this is worth the money.
