Prepware Private Pilot App Reviews

Great app

This app was perfect to supplement the books. I passed with 97%. I could go threw the answers and rationals when I had a moment without dragging all my books with me. Navigation is not possible, but you can use the test booklet. I like the brake down of the sections. I hope the Instrument and Commercial are just as good.

CFII

This is a great study tool. I often encourage my students to get it on their iPad so they always have it with them, especially my ForeFlight users. Weather holds, FBO breaks, and just sit around time are great opportunities to have it handy. It will encourage them to ask me questions about some of the subject matter so I can clear up any foggy areas. I would give the fifth star if it had the ability to email test results to me and "Correct Answer Only" study sessions.

Well worth it!

I have the iPad mini 2, and everything works great. I took my FAA written today (09-Jan-2014) and received a 92%. There were a few questions on the exam that were not in here BUT the FAA did just put out new questions recently. I gave this app 4 stars only because it would be nice to be able to study more than one section at a time, like you do with the computer program of prep-ware. If you need to study aerodynamics and navigation, then check their boxes and study all their questions in a random order. Over all, super happy with this app and just purchased the instrument app as well.

Trust Me it Worth It

This is a great app. I used ASA app for both the Private Pilot and IFR Rating test and both were above 90%. There are is a “Study Mode” which was useful. Explanations were provided. Maps, graphs and other references were provided, similar to the test. It looks and feels just like the test which made the test a breeze. My scores were within a percent or two of my actual exam score. For the money you CANNOT beat it.

Questions are truncated on iPhone

The test questions are truncated when viewed on my iPhone. The iPad app does not seem to have this problem. Unusable on my iPhone until fixed.

Update!

The same with the AMT app. The new look is great but the the questions and answers are shown incomplete or cutoff when the app is used in an iPhone5. Please fix it. It makes it difficult to understand the question with the words cut off. Is a great app to study on the go! Thank you!!!!

Update broke the app

"(Refer to illustration 3) the relative" ... The relative what? Questions are cut off, you cannot make sense of anything so it has gone from five to one star rating

Was great, until the update

This app was awesome until the the most recent update was released. Most of the questions are incomplete. I seriously hope a fix is coming and fast!

blew it with the update

did no one double check the update before it went live??? questions are cutoff and so are the answers. fix this NOW!

Good job morons...

Lets develop an app that works great, then patch it so it looks cool and doesnt work properly. If its not broke dont fix it. Who ever developed this patch should be fired. Completely and totally worthless now.

Student Pilot: Thanks for the quick FIX!

My FAA exam is next week, and the last update 2 days ago RUINED this program. But you listened and fixed it quickly, thank you! This is once again the best study aid for any FAA exam!

Latest update works great

The new look and feel match iOS 7. This is a great app for studying the private pilot written exam.

Problem fixed

Thank you for listening. It looks good. I recommend this app for all student pilots who are planning to take the FAA test.

Data

Nevermind you guys fixed the update!

Doesnt help for helicopters

Bought this to study for my helicopter exam. Too bad even when I select "rotorcraft" the review questions and exam still incorporate questions about fixed wing

Great App!!!

Passed the first time I took the PP exam! Prepwares instant feedback mechanism, and approach to topical learning gave me a great sense of confidence going into take the test!

Just as good as the prepware

For 10$ this app is great. It has all the questions the actually asa book has. Study on the go with your phone.

Problems With Figures

Most of the questions dont line up with the sectional in the figure. Question asks "what airspace is found over airport in area 1?" There is no airport in that area.

Has errors

Some of the questions that need referencing sectional charts are off. For example, itll ask for the CTAF frequency for Redbird airport, but the correct frequency as shown on the chart isnt one of the multiple choices. Or youll be ask to refer to section 6 on the chart, but section 6 isnt on the chart provided. I have other ASA products and expected more from this established company and brand. They should know better than to release a half-baked product. Ive had the app for over a year, so theyve had time to issue an update to fix these problems, but it doesnt seem like they are supporting this app.

Great App!

Every student pilot needs this app. Its great for studying.
