IFSTA HazMat First Responder 5 for Negative User Reviews

Good app, lots of bugsIt doesn’t always show the entire answer, and if you minimize it it tends to restart; if you have a 400 question prep test queued up and don’t complete the entire thing, it will be lost..Version: 1.4.0

No SoundThis goes for both of the fire fighter seven essentials app as well as the hazmat app. Can’t get sound on either app I have removed them ivory downloaded them… boo. Waste of money..Version: 2.1.2

Made me pay more than it said.I went to buy the practice exams which said TEN DOLLARS and it charged me twenty..Version: 2.1.2

Review Deck Doesn’t WorkNot sure why the review deck doesn’t work for this app when it does for other IFSTA apps. It adds all questions whether you missed them or got them right to the review deck, pointless. It’s a known issue going back to September and still not fixed. I can’t get past page two of the book either. The app is good for exam practice and identifying though and for the most part the questions line up with the pages in the book (few exceptions)..Version: 2.1.2

Videos in the courses don’t workVideos in the courses don’t work.Version: 1.5.0

Needed work before, new update nothing worksAudiobook wouldn’t play in the background, you had to leave it open and your phone unlocked. None of the study features worked, adding questions to the study deck. I updated the app yesterday and now I can’t take any practice exams plus I had to re purchase everything. $50 is a lot of money for absolutely nothing, I hope you’re able to figure this out.Version: 2.1.3

Not worth it.They want you to buy each section but the audio for any of it I’m won’t work? Lol I want my money back..Version: 2.1.1

Very little help on examJust took this exam and this app was very little help. Stick to reading the book.Version: 2.1.8

Good but needs workThank you, IFSTA, for FINALLY getting us a study app for this newer edition of the book! I almost like this app better than the PADO/aerial app. I have found some questions which have incorrect answers in the app and a few reference page numbers have been a page off, but overall I really like it. It has helped me get through the final grind leading up to our promotional exam by making HazMat as “fun” as it can be. I like the visual recognition for container feature but wish it had some more/different pics and would like to see it give you feedback on what the correct answer is, if you miss it..Version: 1.5.0

The audiobook needs workI was happy to buy the audiobook because on the Essentials 7 app I was able to listen while on the go. The content in the audiobook is as expected but I am unable to listen to it if I lock my phone or move out of the app like I am with Essentials 7… not worth the money if you can’t use it as intended..Version: 2.1.2

Interesting but CostlyI’ve enjoyed taking the chapter 1 practice test and testing my ability to ID containers, I’m disappointed that there’s a charge for the rest of the chapters. We or our departments are already paying for the course and book, so why we should pay for a study supplement puzzles me. It’d be nice if there was a special code given for us first responders and firefighters to get this free..Version: 1.5.0

App does not workPurchased app and non of the chapters unlock Waste of money.Version: 2.1.0

Free is a LIE!!!Typical bait and switch free app getting the actual info costs $10.Version: 1.5.0

AudiobookAudiobook would be useful if it didn’t require my phone screen to stay on and stay open to the app. Only audiobook program I’ve had where it won’t stay playing in the background, to include playing while my phone screen is locked. Was super excited about the audiobook and instead it’s frustrating and a definite disappointment since I paid ~$35 for something that isn’t that useable..Version: 2.1.2

CoursesI paid to unlock all the chapter courses, but it’s basically power point slides & it will only set me see the first 1-2 slides of each section. text doesn’t fit on my phones screen & I can’t get to the “next button” even with ch. 1 & it’s free..Version: 2.1.7

Crap!!!Same problem as some people on here, you can’t get more then 2 or 3 slides into a chapter before it won’t let you continue. So you pay 20 dollars for about 2 percent on the book. Huge scam!!!.Version: 2.1.0

Misleading pricingPaid $35 and I have access to the chapter 1 quiz and a container quiz that’s about it. They want an additional $10 per chapter quiz? Or they are very unclear on pricing. Then there are additional study resources for an additional $20. Was hoping for supplemental study material to my book but this is not it..Version: 2.1.2

Highly do not recommendI thought this was a good app to use but it did not help me in my test. I constantly would score 90’s & I studied 100 questions everyday & studied the DOT vehicles. & still scored bad on my hazmat awareness & OPS resulting in 60’s on both hazmat tests..Version: 2.1.6

Does function like other IFSTA appsThe 5th edition hazmat app won’t play the audiobook in the background so the screen has to be on all the time while listening. And the practice exams save every question to the study deck instead of just the missed questions..Version: 2.1.2

Broken in many waysBe warned, the study deck feature is broken. It adds all questions to your review deck, not just those you get wrong, making the feature useless. The videos are also highly disappointing. They’re just poor reenactments of the text bullets, no depth whatsoever, and add nothing to your knowledge of the subject. App’s really only good to get exposure to questions in the test bank, but with a broken study deck, even that’s of low value..Version: 2.1.2

Course Book doesn’t advanceThe chapters don’t advance past page 2. There is is no next button??.Version: 2.1.2

Purchased app and review deck not working…Review deck does not work. When you complete a chapter, it just has all of the chapter questions on it again, not just the incorrect..Version: 2.1.2

Bugs but overall goodThe app layout doesn’t fit the complete answers sometimes. It doesn’t remember the study deck if you don’t use the app for a couple of hours. iPhone XS iOS 12.Version: 1.3.2

Can’t download audiobookChapter one will play, any attempt to download the rest of the audiobook a pop up advices you to unlock access, but there is nowhere to unlock access. Also the screen must be open to listen to the audiobook. This app needs a lot of improvement..Version: 2.1.2

1001 reviewSome answer are just blatantly wrong, very poor choice to study with..Version: 2.1.6

Just use the book.This app is incredibly glitch on the phone and iPad. I can't use it at all. It constantly freezes. The practice exams have good information but it does not help with certification testing.. Better off just reading and studying the book. I won't be using another IFTSA app in my education...Version: 2.1.8

Needs WorkI don’t mind paying the extra money if it unlocks useful training tools. I do wish the audiobook feature was on this app like the essentials of firefighting 7th edition app. I learn so much better by having it read aloud to me instead of just scanning a page. The app does bug out every now and then but if those were fixed and the audio booked added this would be a solid app. Right now it’s kind of useless in my opinion. I feel like I could get better training tools elsewhere for the exam..Version: 2.1.0

App TipsThey app works well. It would be more helpful if the app’s container identifier also gave the names of the the trucks, i.e. MC 307/DT 407. Also I would like if the audio chapters would stay open after I lock my phone. It tends to cut off after when the screen go off. This would be more helpful because I like to listen to the chapters on my way to work. If you could fix those issues that would be great. Thank you.Version: 2.1.2

ProblemsI’ve deleted and reinstalled several times now and the chapters I purchase foe the exam prep plus practice exams won’t unlock. Not sure what the problem is. Last time I used to app it was really help, not I can’t access the information and resources I’ve already paid. Please help with this issue..Version: 2.1.1

Audiobook is not complete at all.There are several chapters where they are missing half of the audiobooks. What am I paying $35 for when I am only getting half of the products..Version: 2.1.6

Doesn’t Interface CorrectlyI purchased the interactive courses and can’t get passed page 2 of chapter one as it isn’t built to interface correctly. I would like a refund of the $20 I spent because I cannot access the content I paid for..Version: 2.1.2

Not free at all!Extremely disappointed at the fact that the app is free to download but then in order to have access to the slides of info it cost $20 and to get access to exam prep it cost another $10. That’s as far as I got. I’m assuming there may be other access fees throughout the app..Version: 1.5.0

Can’t access all of the contentWhen I open the study guide, it says there’s six slides in the first chapter and I can only open two?.Version: 2.1.0

Study deckI just wish the study deck would work… It doesn’t save just the wrong answers or selected questions but the whole test (there is no point in using study deck if you need to retake the whole test).Version: 2.1.2

$20 version not workingI bought the $20 version to be preparing for the state exam and it doesn’t allow you to watch any of the lessons that it should provide..Version: 1.5.0
