Prepware Instrument Pilot for Negative User Reviews
✓ Out of dateI used this recently for my FAA instrument test but almost have the questions in the test are NOT in here, which made this virtually useless. Needs updating.Version: 1.35
✓ Gleim is BetterAlthough this app has a positive side, which you don’t need internet to use. However, the sequence of the questions are always random and doesn’t keep your progress nor does it provide any reports of performance..Version: 1.55
✓ New update is incredibly inconvenientThe app was decent prior to the new update, but now the correct answers are no longer shown in green when grading an unanswered practice test. This makes studying extremely time consuming and not worth the money..Version: 1.53
✓ UPDATE THIS ASAPASA is losing credibility having not updated such an important app for such a long time. Barely any questions on here filter through to the actual written!.Version: 1.49
✓ New Question BankThis app’s questions are out-dated. I took my instrument written in November of 2018 and there were maybe only 5 questions from the ASA test prep on there. My buddies who studied from (a different well known company) said that all of their questions were pretty much the same. I’m pretty disappointed as I loved the ASA’s Private Pilot app, but I think from now on I’m going to switch to a different company to study from for my commercial..Version: 1.49
✓ Don't use this applicationAfter studying this app and taking multiple practice tests scoring in the 90s I felt more than confident to take the actual exam.. come to find out I took the actual exam today and failed scoring a 68. At least half of the exam didn't contain questions from this APP..Version: 1.45.2
✓ It's just not goodIt's an iPad app so you would expect it to be better than a book because you can save your progress and what not, but this app literally has no features what so ever. Now that wouldn't be not too bad if the questions were in the same order every time. You can save but if you take a test or switch to a different category of questions you lose everything making the task of seeing all the questions ridiculously difficult..Version: 1.28
✓ Hard to see some imagesI have the book, the pc version, and now this version of Asa prepware. The program Is useful but hard to see the figures. Some of the scans did not some over well. Particularly the weather graphics. Originals are not perfect either but one in particular I can not see any shading that is mentioned in question..Version: 0
✓ Save feature is broken and uselessThe app has good study questions and is a very useful study aid. However, there are two issues. First, the Save feature doesn't work. If you are just working the questions in study mode and you want to save your answers so far and return later, choosing "Save and Exit" apparently does nothing. When you return, any answers you had entered are lost. Same is true if you choose to Grade in the study mode. It would be very useful to work the problems, then come back and review the ones you missed, but here is no way to do this. Second problem: the figures are a bit low-res. not an issue for the instrument interpretation questions, but on the chart and weather maps, which are already disgraceful in quality in the official FAA supplement, sometimes important information is illegible..Version: 1.33
✓ Potentially good but currently not worth this amountUseful only when completed your studying as you can't select questions relating to chapters, only 60 random ones each time from the entire subject. Although gives explanations to each question, doesn't give reasons to any of the wrong ones unlike the book or software version, an especially useful aide. And a bug courses a crash that instantly exits the application loosing where you were; I've yet to complete any study session as a consequence..Version: 0
✓ Need workNice to have this info in an app, but the app needs work. One big issue is saving. The "save and exit" button needs to be used every time or else the resume button disappears next time i start the app. Suggestion would be to autosave and have a clear progress button..Version: 1.35
✓ Needs HUGE update for recent FAA changesI hate to give ASA a negative rating, because July 2016, their Private Pilot test app was DEAD ON!!! Questions were verbatim. I scored 98%. With the recent evolution to the FAA testing, this Instrument app question bank was no where near to some of the questions on the Instrument Airplane written exam. I'm not here to slam ASA, because they have great products, but just FYI, do not use this as a sole study method to pass the Instrument Airplane exam. Dauntless was my main app for studying, and even their question bank was lacking, it is an awesome app on explanations of correct answers and teaching principles. It is quite more expensive than ASA, but I owe Dauntless for my 90% score yesterday on the Instrument exam. But beware, the changes to the FAA question bank is real. The test was not easy at all. I've even heard Sheppard Air hasn't caught up to the recent changes. Good luck to all..Version: 1.46
✓ Many questions are wrongI studied very well, I was getting more than 95% grade score on the app, when I went to do the test it was completely different and some questions weren't mentioned in ASA app at all, so be careful , besides that many questions were answered in a wrong way in the app..Version: 1.45.2
✓ Can't save questions?We need to be able to save questions across study sessions. How about a study session where I can use marked questions to make up that study session? I need a way to focus on the areas and questions I keep missing instead of just shotgunning all of the questions back at me each time I start up a study session!.Version: 1.37
✓ Awful for rotorcraft studentsThere’s a large number of fixed-wing specific questions in the rotorcraft section..Version: 1.54
✓ Not good at allThe worst app , some question does not even have de figures and some of the figures has nothing to do with the question . I want my money back.Version: 1.56
✓ Don't view the figuresWas a great app before the update you guys need to fix the bugs, you can't go back to the question when you look at a figure, the back button just disappears. And I can't take an entire test all the way through I either have to shut my iPad off or re download the app which takes too long and wastes my progress, seriously fix it.Version: 1.26
✓ Working on instrument ratingThe private was on point, I recommend alternative means for instrument studying..Version: 1.50
✓ Prepware instrument prepFrankly, this app is disappointing. If the answer is longer than three lines, the remainder is truncated and you must guess what is missing. Additionally, the figures that are linked to the questions are sometimes incomplete and, again, you must guess. I am comparing this app to a similar PC app...this is not an iPad vs pc thing...I am comparing the usability of the content -- which should be the same. On one question where I thought that this app had insufficient reference figures, I compared it to the same question in the other app...the other app had 3 reference figures whereas this app had only 2. And yes, the extra figure did contain the info that I thought was missing. If you are studying for the IFR written, look elsewhere. If you are looking for something to do a quick review just before your oral, I.e. reviewing stuff you should already know, this app will probably work out okay..Version: 0
✓ It's OkayI have used this application for about 10 hours now. It's okay for what it's supposed to do, however it needs some improvements to get a 5 star rating. For long questions sometimes part of the question has been truncated and can't be seen. This is usually true with flight planning questions where the wind information gets truncated. This makes it difficult to answer the question correctly. Some of the figures are at too low of a resolution making them difficult to read There is no way to store previous test scores or show progress. Sometimes in study modes it stops showing the correct answer for each question..Version: 1.22
✓ Needs to have questions correctedMany of the question/answer pairings make no sense or are incorrect..Version: 1.45.2
✓ Poor UpdatesI just took the instrument knowledge test and I received a 78%. Over half of the questions were not in this app. I believe this may have been because the FAA is changing a lot of their questions as of 15 June 2016. ASA did NOT provide any daily, weekly, or even monthly updates to the test bank other than the standard roughly once a year app update. I think they should at least send out bulletin alerts to their customers within the app or email to explain upcoming changes and how this would affect the effectiveness of the test bank provided. Suggestions to make this app better: 1. Offer payment or store credit to customer providing test questions and answers. 2. Update the app, questions or send bulletins at least monthly if there are changes or no changes. 3. The save progress feature either does not work on my iPad or it is very difficult to easily find my left off point. I am using an iPad Mini 4 running iOS 9.3.2.Version: 1.39
✓ Wrong questionsThis app needs to be updated! The questions on this app are not the questions on the test..Version: 1.45.2
✓ BugGreat study app. HOWEVER, when using the "Study mode" if you leave and return and pick-up where you left off (extended time/a day or so) the software reverts to "Quiz Mode" and will not continue highlighting the correct answers; also the explanation link will be missing. Please correct this problem. I can't study all the questions in one sitting. Thank you..Version: 1.26
✓ PilotIt is very helpful, but, when you haven't the a chapter and then pass a few minutes, the progress you have done, you lose it, and have to start it all over again..Version: 1.29
✓ Good, for only 40%Worth 10$ thou Helped me to get ready for written.Version: 1.53
✓ Good, not great.This app has a very simple interface but has allot of data, sometimes not the best combination. I am not saying that having a simple interface is bad, but when you put over 1,000 questions on practice test app and don't put the ability to search through those 1,000 questions, save test results or even just uncheck material of questions you don't need you can start to see the flaws. Again, it works, its just WAY too user friendly to a point where the user is handicapped. For example, the instrument airplane study option only gives you 60 questions at a time. Lets say you had a question wrong, learned the error and decided you wanted to retake the test. However, since there are over 1,000 questions mixed up into 16 chunks of 60 questions each the likelihood of ever receiving that question again is unlikely, therefore, the person might forget it. If you think you are getting a similar version to the desktop software, you will be sadly disappointed. Gooday..Version: 0
✓ Doesn’t support iPhone X yetTaking my test soon so I’m not sure how well it has actually prepared me yet. Complaints were made that it was out of date, seems there was an update after most of those reviews were written..Version: 1.47
✓ Crippled to the point of uselessnessThis app allows marking of questions (presumably so you can review them later). The problem is the marking is removed when you return to the main menu, which makes the marking pointless. Another problem is wrong answers are not recorded, so there is no way to go back and review answers. In sum, not worth the price..Version: 1.45
✓ SunlightIt is almost impossible to see the correct answer in sunlight. Make the background red or green instead. There is a bug, quizzes becomes a test when the app has been inactive for a while. REALLY irritating. Cannot save quizzes or mark questions..Version: 1.24
✓ Please updateI did yesterday the test and quite all the questions were different from the app. Be aware guys !.Version: 1.46
✓ Comprehensive study tool, this is NOT!!!I spent £9.99 buying this app as describes itself as a comprehensive study tool. It has a study & test tab within but both just lead you to question banks..Version: 1.47
