FAA IFR Instrument Rating Prep for Negative User Reviews

✓ Nothing special!I bought the app thinking it would be more interactive or at least have videos explaining topics and questions. Unfortunately this app is nothing more then a bank of questions. There’s a study and flash card mode, but once again you are just being asked the questions over and over again. You can click to go to,in-depth paragraphs about the topic but honestly in today’s digital age an app should be able to do more than a textbook. I wish o could get a refund in this app because I won’t be using it..Flyer113Version: 10.3.2

✓ Needs More WorkThe application has some good material but I was disappointed that it was misleading on the IPad application. It said that it was Ipad compatible but when i purchased it, it was not formatted for the Ipad and had a small image the size of an Iphone. When I increased the size of the image to fit the screen, the picture was less than clear. When panning the charts, it's difficult to interpret because all of the necessary info is not shown on the page. You should also be careful when purchasing the app not to purchase the wrong one. I accidently purchased the Private Pilot App while trying to purchase the Instrument Rating App. Both app Icons are identical. More work should have went into this project before it was released, expecially at the $40 price tag..SheriffbVersion: 0

✓ Latest Version Crashes ConstantlyI've been using this app for a few months and until the latest update in early December, it worked well. The new version added question buckets, which are great in theory -- no need to keep going over questions you consistently get correct. Problem is that the app crashes constantly and for seemingly no reason on my iPad running iOS 5.0.1. It crashes sometimes at the end of question sets, when advancing questions, when saving sessions for later, etc... Not every time, but it crashes for me several times a day. And -sometimes- when it crashes, it takes the questions and resets them all to the default bucket (3). Nothing like going over a 960 question set to pick out the ones you want to focus on only to have the app crash and lose your place. The question "flags" do not seem to store propetly either. Also, the updating the questions as is recommended at the beginning of each session seems to reset the buckets and flags without warning. Emailed customer service two weeks ago and still no response. App is almost unusable in its current state..FreddychanVersion: 8.4

✓ Okay, needs some workI have tried every one of the instrument test apps. This is the most expensive one. It does have the full database of all the questions. Charts are not scaleable, which makes for a lot of panning around. I use it on the iPad and iPhone. I wish it were optimized for the iPad, it could really be nice. It has a nice format for picking which area to study. It also asks how many questions you would like to study, but it ignores your request and gives you all of them. There is an option for immediate feedback on questions, but it is not immediate unless you back up to the previous question and look. There is a misspelling on the main page. Lot of potential, but it seems if it was rushed out the door. I was expecting a better product for the money. Wish list: Scaleable maps True immediate feedback Fix ability to select number of questions Better graphics for iPad. It does have the full database, which I don't think the others do..Bonanza409Version: 0

✓ Dauntless Is not the best ChoiceUse Sheppard Air. I have used both and there is no comparison. Sheppard gets my students ready much faster and results in much higher test scores. Dauntless' staff can be callous and difficult to access. They don't have a phone number to reach them with, and are generally slow to respond via email. The opposite is true with Sheppard..Raptor!Version: 10.3.2

✓ Works ok when it works at all!This app has a warning after you purchase it that talks about it's issues, and gives a list of what to do's including removing and reinstalling the app. It does not support multi-tasking so if you view a text while studying you must start all over. It does have it's pluses over the others like a flashcard mode, but it's problems far overshadows it's positives..MrMott079Version: 0

✓ Not up to dateI wrote the test today and 50% of the questions were completely different and never mentioned in the test. You could not use anything from the app to solve the question in the test. This was a shock! I passed but with a 80% and I had always 95%+ in the app..MichaJilliVersion: 10.3.2

✓ App not workingApp not opening.S_O_L_OVersion: 10.3.2

✓ Way too many airplane questions in the rotor versionImagine if the fixed wing students had to learn all their answers for how it pertained to helicopters. Why am I answering questions about ailerons and elevators, deicing boots, or anything airplane related when I am studying for helicopters? Should I also learn everything about hot air balloons and gliders??.WjfjgjdowoccoanabcjrofksbVersion: 10.3.2

✓ Disgraceful support!I have never come across such rudeness, arrogance and unprofessional comments regarding queries made about questions which were wrongly perceived as negative. Response from Dauntless was in the form of swearing, derogatory insults and a dis-proportionate reaction of being banned from their system. Absolutely disgraceful, and will circulate this to all platforms. If you read the descriptions of the questions about questioning those questions, you will see the highest levels of arrogance in which the developers will provide their responses. Appalling, disgraceful level of customer service!!.Jimbo3940Version: 10.3.2

✓ This is terrible!If it worked, it would be a good program. The amount of questions and the explanations are great. It's just useless. I give up after two days of sheer frustration. Since it crashes regularly which causes you to lose anything you were doing (especially when the iPad returns from sleep), and if you back out to look at mail or whatever it loses everything including anything that you told it to save (the questions that are saved are not what you saw the first time through), this app is... HORRIBLY FRUSTRATING and worth nothing at all. Anything you pay for this is money in the garbage. I gave up and went with American Flyers practice tests on their web site, on my PC (it's flash so it doesn't work on the iPad). This is an absolute ripoff, and there are no refunds. This is way too expensive to even see for yourself..MS11111Version: 8.2
