Prepware CFI for Negative User Reviews

Dark mode and FOI CatagoriesOverall this is great it could use some updating and tweaks. First, the FOI really needs categories. Second, dark mode support is abysmal. If you have your iPad in dark mode you can barely see the fonts. I had to change my iPad back to light mode to use this app..Version: 1.52

Can’t see question number on iphoneI’ve used various asa test apps to study for all of my writtens. For whatever reason, the CFI study app on my iphone won’t show what question number I’m on which is a little frustrating. It would also be nice to do a mock test that pulls from all the subject areas but still allows you to see the answer without having to grade the test..Version: 1.56

FOI Needs CategoriesThe FOI questions are not separated into categories. All the questions are in one big bank so every time you want to study them you have to study all 273 questions. It is hard to reach every question in one sitting. Then if you exit out of it the questions start over..Version: 1.45.2

Nice programI don't know why people are complaining about test bank questions. There should only be the amount of questions in the CFI test bank in fact that's what I don't like about prepware. Why include hundreds of questions that aren't even in the test bank?! Of this is for the sole purpose of studying for the written then it should have the exact same questions that are on the written. That's why I didn't give 5 stars, I noticed that the Asa questions were worded differently than the test question and saw questions that weren't in the test bank..Version: 0

Not much here. Just the quizYou’re not getting anything except the quiz transferred from paper to your iDevice. Don’t expect the answers to be any more explanatory, the diagrams to scale to the screen, or any of the numerous errors to be fixed or even annotated. If you write customer support with any issues, they will say “I can’t reproduce it,” and you’re out of luck. You would expect for $9.99 that they would do *some* work, but nope, you get an electronic version of paper..Version: 1.35

No bueno for MCIIf your taking the MCI for CFI add-on, don’t waste your money with this app. The question bank is too large. Sheppard Air is the way to go if you only want to studying questions that will be on your test..Version: 1.51

DisappointingThe study for the normal knowledge test helped, but the FOI questions have all been reworded and changed on the test so this study guide really didn't help much. I barely passed the FOI test. I would try other study material..Version: 1.24

One question in FOI!! Please help!!There is only one question in the FOI section. This must be a mistake but the app support button takes me to a confusing website. Please help me.Version: 1.52

Good Prep SoftwareIt’s good for studying the test questions, however I do not see a different study module for Basic Ground Instructor vs Advanced Flight Instructor..Version: 1.50

OUT OF DATE FOI QUESTIONS.All the questions I had in the actual exam were not listed in this app..Version: 1.53

None of the questions are up to dateStudied for the foi using this app and was surprised to see 3 questions I studied from this Prepware on the written. Do not use if you want to know what’s on the actual exam..Version: 1.57

Outdated IFREvery other company has updated the question list and the figures, some on a weekly basis. FAA released new figures book in Feb yet ASA hasn't updated the app since the original release, as far as I can tell..Version: 1.30

Chapters are not separated into topicsI thought it would be just like the online prepware but it’s not. If you want to study FOI by topic you can’t, you have to study all 273 questions in one big quiz. I’d rather one topic at a time..Version: 1.51

Do not use this for FOI.If you are going to use this make sure you do what your supposed to and understand the material not just these questions..Version: 1.57

Not the same as the test10 years ago when I took the commercial test, the questions and answers were identical to the test but recently when I took the cfi test after studying very hard for it on this app I took the test after scoring 100 at least five times on the app but when I took the test, the questions and answers were completely different for about 50% of the test in other words this app is pretty good, but I recommend for you to study the books as well..Version: 1.56

Foi sectionOnly one question in the foi section. That’s the only reason I needed this app. Can I get a refund?.Version: 1.52

The app is alrightI like this app for what it is, but when I took the test, many of the questions were reworded or just brand new. For the time that I spent on this app studying, I expected no surprises. I also would like more features such as tracking your scores so you can see your progress and see how many practice tests you done in a day.Version: 1.23

Price is rightPro: you get a lot of bang for the buck Con: there are a significant number of erroneous answers, and a delay between FAA and ASA updates; when I took the FAA exam only a small percentage of the actual questions were in the ASA pool. User interface slightly clunky; it is very easy to lose your work without warning if you pause..Version: 1.35

The colors are inverted.The colors are inverted on my iPad and the word text is white on white. It’s so hard to see and study. The iPhone one is working. But on the iPad not that great..Version: 1.52

OverviewFirst of all, I’d like to reflect that the questions in the app were NOT exactly like the questions on the FAA written test. They were similar and contained the similar ideas, but were not identical, like the way it used to be (I took my last FAA written in 2012). Since the ideas were similar, it still helped me to pass with a score of 86%. But in the future, I would like to use the app that preferably uses the same exact questions for practice. Also, like most here mention, the questions were not grouped by topic, but were all assembled into a single 271-question database, which was somewhat inconvenient..Version: 1.54

Test ResultsAfter using this prep software and consistently scoring 95+ for 2 weeks I took the FOI test and scored a 74. Afterwards I spoke with a flight school that does a lot of CFI training and they have experienced a large amount of students that scored the same way using most prep courses. The only product that had been used and the students scored close to their pre test prep scores was Gleim's products. This ASA app was convenient but I would not recommend it unless they caught up with current questions..Version: 1.29

It is better than nothingBy no means is this on par with ASA's written material, but it is nice to have it in my pocket to pratice whenever I have a spare few minutes. It hasn't crashed on me yet, but I haven't used it a lot either. The question bank does seem very limited. I would really like to see an option to focus on questions of a specific type. (wx, regulations, etc.) and maybe intergrate that into the test. If you miss a lot of a certain type of question it would be nice if it could pick up on that. Better explinations would really help also. After using this to prepare for the agi test I got a 72. The questions are NOT represenative of those on the actual test. This may be fine for the other sections, but does not work for the agi..Version: 0

Study vs. TestThere doesn't seem to be any difference between the "study" and "test" functions..Version: 0

Half way there...Few things: All of the questions were not all there for the tests, they stay in the same order, does not update with FAA updates, wording for quite a few questions was different then actual exam. I tried this app for 2 different tests and was able to pass but I could get 95% on this app but with the actual exam being so different it left me with lower scores..Version: 1.38

I passedThis app is adequate to get you prepared for the written exams, but it does not have every question that is on the real exam..Version: 1.47

Used ASA Prepware for FOI ExamI recently took my CFI Fundamentals of Instruction exam after studying with the ASA Prepware App. The database ASA are using in 100% out of date. Not a single question that was presented in the CATS test was featured in the ASA app. I have never been so unprepared going into a written test as I have after using tihs software. The ASA database is in urgnet need of being updated to reflect the current FAA question bank..Version: 1.55

Almost 5 starsPrepware got me through my instrument and comm rating so I was very excited to have it on my iPod to study for my cfi writtens. Unfortunately it crashes often so taking a test is pointless. Quizzing is the way to go and works great until it crashes... easy 5 stars if it didn't crash..Version: 0

HorribleI used this prepware to study for the FOI and FIA. Many of the questions on the tests were reworded or were not in this prepware. As a result both test ended up with failing scores. For all my other ratings (private, instrument, instrument instructor, and commercial) I used the "red book" and had no trouble passing the tests. This purchase was not worth the fees I had to pay to retake these tests. To retake these tests I used the trusted "red book" and had no trouble with passing the FOI and FIA.Version: 1.24

I recommend other Apps/WebsitedThis is the worst tool you can use to prepare for the test. The only thing food about it is you don’t need internet while using it..Version: 1.55

Not worth $10This program crashes alot, I have yet to reach 100 questions without it crashing. And when it does crash, it doesn't save where you left off. Explanations to wrong answers are terrible. Lastly, question bank seems very small. Barely worth $0.99 in my opinion..Version: 0
