Prepware Private Pilot App Reviews

This app was recommended to me by my flight instructor. Bad choice. This app is full of errors in question wording, double answers, and only partial questions. Please go buy a better app, this one is useless.

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

Excellent app. Scored a 93% on my airman knowledge test. Just had 1 test question that was not on the app. “Lowest altitude of an aerobatic aircraft is?.... 1500 feet. Other than that, excellent!

Great way to study, just use this casually whenever you have spare time and you'll be ready in no time. Only thing it, it's not so good for the nav questions because of the small screen. I relied on the web version on my computer for those.

I scored 87% on my PPL exam using this App

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

"(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

Hey ASA any chance you guys can release an update that makes the Prepware Apps compatible with iPhone X screen? Other than that keep up the great work!!

Relatively easy to use. However the save functionality does not work. Several times I have been half way through a quiz and lost my work because of this. You can leave the app and return to the same spot, however you loose this if you go to a memory hungry app before you return. I would give an extra star for each of the following functions. Save functionality that works. Exporting results to pdf or other common format, and syncing across devices.

Most of the questions don't 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.

Good app, worth the $10. Got 93% on private RW. (Guessed on 4 questions I missed, but saw the same questions in the app, so had the opportunity!)

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

There is some great information in this app. Reviewing and answering the questions has helped me tremendously. The bad part is that there are too many questions with wrong answers. It's caused me to do a lot of additional research to verify wrong answers. Then I'd confirm it with my instructors. This REALLY needs to be cleaned up. Then I'd give this app a much higher rating.

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!

Everything was great until I found a question with a wrong answer. After 2 weeks of studying and taking the tests over and over. I am freaked out, how many more wrong answers were provided?

Many questions and answers are missing parts, provably to make them shorter. Looks like this app focuses more on training you only to identify the right multiple choice answer of your test with little regards for you actual understanding of the subject, the question, or the answer.

I love this app and and would recommend it to everyone. My only gripe with this app is the UI. It’s very functional but needs to be updated to work with the iPhone X/Xr/Xs and the new iPad Pro. Overall great app.

Does exactly what it's supposed to the practice tests generated were and invaluable part of my success. I was nervous about the actual FAA written but this app prepared me for it and I passed with no problems. I go to a flight university and have recommended it to several other friends who also passed.

The information is very useful, but I would like to see a refresh in user interface and an up to date app that supports the iPhone 6s.

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

I bought this app because I need to cram for my upcoming test. It does an "alright" job but there are a number of things I would change. 1. put better reference information in the explanations. The explanation is short, so if I want to go look up the specifics, give me a page or section number. 2. allow me to resize the figures on my iPhone. I can look at the figures, but I can't zoom out so I can see all the information... very annoying. 3. if I get a question wrong, just show me the explanation and don't make me click to read it. I find myself clicking too many times to get anything done. I would wait to buy this until they update the app, there are other better ones out there.

Much better than Sport’s app (which also costs more). Works best on iPad. I give this app credit for achieving a 93% on FAA Private Pilot Written Exam.

Covers all units and provides questions & explanations on all questions. One of the best tools for studying!! Definitely worth the price.

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

I self studied ground school. Reading the books alone would not have been enough. This app helped me get prepped for the specific types of questions. Went through this app the weekend prior reading and doing each question and aced the written. $10 well spent.

Nevermind you guys fixed the update!

Biggest advantage this app has is they update the question bank regularly. Scored a 98 on private pilot written other day

This app helped me ace my private pilot written. The price is a bit hefty considering the cheaper (and frankly almost as good) alternatives. But, it gets the job done well.

Great to study with, but few questions on the test are worded differently so be aware of that

Most of the questions need to be updated and need to have more questions in your bank compared to gleim book.

Primitive app. Doesn’t have any sort of function that stops showing you questions you already know, so you’ll waste tons of time re-covering content you’ve already learned.

Can you please add function to application, that it can have support to iWatch

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

This has been my primary study method since I can take it anywhere and spend a lot of time away from home and I got a 98% on the written as a result. Through explanations and the questions are virtually identical to the real thing. It's worth the $10. Just make sure that when you miss a question you take the time to go learn the relevant material rather than memorize the answers and you'll be good to go.

It can't seem to hold a practice session if I go to doing other stuff. If I get distracted and come back after having done other apps or after closing the phone it starts all over at the beginning.

Some of the questions have the end cut off. Usually I can figure out what it’s trying to say but not always!!

92% simply by using the app. Recommended to anyone

The exam is identical with the practice questions that are provided. There may be some number alterations but the majority of the questions are identical. For some questions did not even have to read the question because I remembered seeing the answer on PrepWare. I ended up scoring a 94! Thank you very much!!

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!

Let's develop an app that works great, then patch it so it looks cool and doesn't work properly. If it's not broke don't fix it. Who ever developed this patch should be fired. Completely and totally worthless now.

If you get one wrong, it doesn’t let you review your wrongs and correct them. Computer version is better

I know this is great app but from now I dont need this app, I mistakenly downloaded like 5m ago. Plz refund it for me. Thx

I just finished my private pilots knowledge test (airplane) and passed (1st try) thanks to this app! The practice test are nearly identical to the real test. Well worth the money and better value than a book.

Some of the questions that need referencing sectional charts are off. For example, it'll ask for the CTAF frequency for Redbird airport, but the correct frequency as shown on the chart isn't one of the multiple choices. Or you'll be ask to refer to section 6 on the chart, but section 6 isn't 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. I've had the app for over a year, so they've had time to issue an update to fix these problems, but it doesn't seem like they are supporting this app.

Every student pilot needs this app. It's great for studying.

I never write reviews for anything, but after making this purchase I feel I have too. The app is easy to use and well put together. I would run through questions over and over until I felt like I had a proper understanding of why I got the question right or wrong. The explanations were spot on and helpful. Couple this app with your ground school and you will be set to score a high score on your knowledge test!

This is a great app for the written all the questions come out of the app and helped pass my written with an 82 highly recommended!!
