FAA Commercial Pilot Test Prep for Negative User Reviews

✓ New version crashes after every questionI was using the last version to study for my commercial written and was liking it, but this new update makes the app crash after EVERY question, and this makes it unusable! I have tried to reboot my iPad, I tried to load the list of questions (it won't even do this before it crashes), and tried to just restart the practice test. All it does now is crash. Please fix!.Bayou PilotVersion: 9.1

✓ Love the app, the update not so muchGraph charts without drawing capability lends itself to guessing with no skills being improved. Need to be able to turn off these graph questions as it's very impractical on an iPhone screen anyway. Unfortunately, an email to the helpdesk did not work and phones numbers are intentionally unavailable..Stvo92Version: 10.0.5

✓ Outdated databaseI’ve used this company for all my written’s and even outdated written’s I had to take again, I really like the layout and in the past the explanations were amazing it helping you understand why a certain answer was correct over the other options, however in the past couple years I’ve noticed less explanations and less visuals and references and more so just a simple FAA referance highlighted from the Aim or whatever source. Anyway that alone doesn’t deter me, I understand it’s hard to keep content up to date, I just think with the competition what’s being offered now is not worth the price. If a person uses this product to study expect to get about 7 percent lower score on your actual exam then you do on all your practice ones as the database seems to be about that old consistently.Sky cfiVersion: 10.3.2

✓ Out of date question bankI feel bad writing this, but I just finished the commercial written exam today (March 8th, 2018) with a 79% score. I studied religiously with this app, regularly updated it, and from the 100 questions on the exam I had seen only about 15-20% of these questions on the Dauntless app. The rest were all new to me. The app is well made and the study options are good. However they’re not worth much if the question bank is outdated..The syggjdndhhhebvVersion: 10.3.2

✓ Much less functionality compared to PC versionNo marking option during test, no retest of wrong answered questions! The iOS version of this software offers much less functionality than the PC version for the same price and is merely a collection of the questions... If one could get both for $50 it would be a different story....Flying RacoonVersion: 8.2

✓ I have questionI got this application I'm trying to do actual questions like really written exam but there is nothing to do I do not understand why it doesn't have actual exam on this application.NdkskwndndjVersion: 9.6.3

✓ ValueIn today's world, value is important. I value customer service, functionality, and performance for the price. This is an over priced under featured application that can be had for $9.95. I own the $9.95 application as well, so I know. Also the functionality is lacking. There appears to be 4 funtions, learning with flash cards, study, study continuous, and quiz. NOT at all study friendly. The test, gives you a score, but I have yet to figure out how to go back and see what questions you missed or answered wrong. I highly reccomend spending your hard earned cash on the cheaper program..Hughs500Version: 0

✓ Keep it fresh!I also feel bad about writing this but their questions database is very out of date (there are still 20+ questions on NDB’s and ADF’s with a disclaimer in the explanation...these have long since been eliminated from the test..) ... they claim to be updating their content but, while the content is correct, it only distantly resembles what you see on the test. They do explain things well &, since I understood the material, I would up with a good score on the test...there just was a lot of crap to wade thru to get to the stuff I needed to know..Dave F33aVersion: 10.3.2

✓ Could not open itAfter updating, why I could not even open it?!!!.YvonneGuoVersion: 9.4

✓ Are they providing the correct questionsI took my knowledge test today and got a 83 %. I walked into the testing center feeling fully prepared as I had been using this app to study for months. On the practice test I would consistently score in the 90% range. When I sat down and started the test I quickly realized I had never seen most of the questions. Out of the 100 questions on the test I went back through and counted there were 15 that were similar to what I had seen on this app. The other 85 questions were completely new to me. The only reason this isn’t a one star is I enjoy the dauntless interface and the way you can select different modes and question stacks. Some final thoughts for anyone reading this, I use Dauntless because the school I attend requires that we use it for a grade. I have had the vast majority of my professors and Flight Instructors tell me to use Sheppard Air if I want to do good..Andrew HarlowVersion: 10.3.2

✓ Outdated questionsI felt so confident when I went into the testing center bc I had been getting mid 90s on all the practice tests. I took about 6 tests and then continued to just study the questions I got wrong multiple times. I basically memorized all the other questions. Out of 100 questions there were maybe 30 on the test that I had seen before for the commercial airplane test. They have a section of 55 questions on physiology and psychology and none of the questions on the test were remotely the same! Before I took the test I could rip through 100 random questions in the test prep in about 20 mins. I knew I was in trouble when I literally didn’t recognize any of the answers or questions. Total waste of time and honestly a lot of money bc now I have to wait to retake my test... yeah. I didn’t pass..Ninja_banditVersion: 10.3.2

✓ This app crashes when quiz selected sectionsJust installed current version. It crashes is you select comercial, one section then try to quiz. What happened????.GetabetterappVersion: 9.5

✓ Decent App, Terrible CompanyExtremely rude disrespectful "CFI's"... Have been studying with this app along with King Courses and a few others for my Commercial Certificate. Came across a question in Aerodynamics about combined effects of slipstream and torque effect, Dauntless gave one answer, while King, Gleim, and several CFI's gave a different answer. So I used the form Dauntless provided within their app to submit that an answer may be incorrect, kindly asked them for clarification. The response I received from one of their CFI's was shocking. Down right rude and extremely disrespectful! Rather then what any other CFI would do explaining the answer, He pretty much flipped out on me for questioning the answer. Extremely nasty reply that how dare I question them, everyone else is WRONG and their answer is right, I'm lazy and trying to get them to do everything for me, blah blah blah. I submitted the same question to King Schools and got a very pleasant detailed response explaining their answer. After doing some web searching on this particular question, there is actually quite a bit of debate on the answer, so not sure why they were so shocked that I would question it. Anyways the app itself isn't bad, although you shouldn't have to pay an extra $20 for the audio feature. Terrible company and customer service..Bryan M. -Version: 9.5.8

✓ Frustrated! I paid, but I did not receive what they promised ...Many content repeated between the questions, and some does not make sense, and very poorly explained, I paid extra to have the audio learn option. and only a few of them have audio available. Ex: performance are 74 questions , but they are only available 22 in audio for to you learning..Tiago JetblueVersion: 10.3.2

✓ Not the best choice, Rude CompanyUse 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 is callous and difficult to access. They don't have a phone number to reach them with, and are generally slow to respond with an email. The opposite is true with Sheppard..Raptor!Version: 10.3.2

✓ Questions Not Current with TESTWhile I passed the test, I didn’t even come close to the scores that I had in the Dauntless practice tests. I found that there were very few questions in the actual test that were found in the Dauntless Commercial test prep. While the software did prepare me to pass the test, I was shocked on how many questions were on the actual test that Dauntless did not prepare me to answer. I too found that support is extremely poor. I used Dauntless because it prepared me so well for my instrument rating, but that was years ago. If I were starting over, I would definitely procure the Sheppard Air product as it has a fresh and up to date database of questions and provides the same level of instruction as Dauntless..CommPrepAdviceVersion: 10.3.2

✓ Missing DiagramsThe UI is ok. Nothing spectacular but it gets the job done. The inexcusable part is that several diagrams are missing from the questions. It's impossible to answer these without the diagrams. Sloppy..3 Year UserVersion: 9.5.2
