Prepware Instrument Pilot Positive Reviews

ASA Instrument lacking in questionsNot one question from the ASA app for Instrument was on my written. I took the test April of 2019. ASA was great for private just not Instrument. After my test, I found all the questions from my written test in another test prep software. Some of my peers said all there questions were ASA questions so I guess it is look. Sheppard Air had about 500 additional study questions. I like the ASA app format better than Sheppard Air, but Sheppard Air has all the questions..Chloe CholetVersion: 1.49

97% on Instrument WrittenI read all the reviews and was nervous because many people said this did not adequately prepare them for the written exam. I spent just one week on the app and when I took the test for the first time on September 26, 2019 I got 97%. The app does not have identical questions to the FAA test, and that’s okay. It’s not supposed to. You are supposed to learn how the systems work and know how to apply them to any situation. This app does a great job of giving examples, and if you actually study what you are supposed to learn, you will pass the test easily. The skill of being a good pilot is not about having wrote memory and just regurgitating answers from an app. Use this as a tool to become a good pilot and you’ll do fine on the test..KneufinVersion: 1.50

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 Complaints were made that it was out of date, seems there was an update after most of those reviews were written..Charlie_fpvVersion: 1.47

I Passed...If you sit down and get focused this test prep will help you. Went to take my FII and IRA in the same day and passed both. Main studying came from the Prepware (outside of ground school). Great stuff and will be using for Commercial also!.4Clight!Version: 1.49

Good, for only 40%Worth 10$ thou Helped me to get ready for written.Shrek151989Version: 1.53

Dark Mode BrokenDark mode breaks the look of the app with latest versions of iOS and iPadOS. Otherwise a great study tool..Augie ChapasVersion: 1.52

Good app,however....It's strange to use on the iPhone xs Max because it can't fill the entire screen.HadestuxnetVersion: 1.48

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..HectorD2009Version: 0

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..GimixmanVersion: 0

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.Lavish_Version: 1.39

New version is much improvedUPDATE: New version is much improved. Works great on the iPad. Very happy with update I have been using the other instrument test prep which is pretty good, but has no explanations. I like the explanations, but have a few ideas for improvement: My intial thoughts- 1. Do not like the font - hard to read and a little small. Maybe could be a little fatter? 2. When you answer a question in study mode there should be a bold indication of right or wrong. As it is now the letters change colors from black to red or green. Very easy to miss, especially with the smallish font. 3. Would like a running tally of missed questions vs. total. As it is, you have to press grade and any question you have not answered is totalled as wrong. I usually have an extra few minutes and answer 10-20 questions, don't always have time to do 60 questions. The scan files are quick to load and easy to pan (charts and tables). Which is very nice. Otherwise looks pretty good. Look forward to some minor tweaks. I'll report back after a week of full useage..Bonanza409Version: 0

Great App and WELL worth the money!!!This is a great app. I used ASA app for both the Private Pilot and IFR Rating test and both were above 90%. There are is a “Study Mode” which was useful. Explanations were provided. Maps, graphs and other references were provided, similar to the test. It looks and feels just like the test which made the test a breeze. My scores were within a percent or two of my actual exam score. They update the questions when changes to the test become available. In 2014 the FAA changed a number of questions and I was assured by ASA, the developer of the App that and update is on the way to include these changes. For the money you CANNOT beat it..Crossing RocksVersion: 1.30

A great study tool, an excellent refresher!Used this app to study and prepare for my instrument written (passed with a 90% score). It's nice to be able to choose blocks of questions on specific topics, but this app shines when it comes to taking complete practice tests. 4 stars because some practice test questions do not allow you to access the appropriate figure needed to answer the question (IIRC it was on the minimum rate of climb questions). I took many practice tests with this app right up until my check ride, and I really think keeping all the info fresh in my head made the oral portion of the test easier..1 who likes 2 flyVersion: 1.22

Very HelpfulThis is a good application for the money. I also purchased and went through the King course and used their sample tests. This app allowed me to study for the written while traveling on business and sitting on commercial flights. It has several bugs that still need fixing. Most times when you save and exit, the app doesn't save your work and you have to start over. Also some of the legends the questions refer to i.e. the glide slope tables provided to you for the test are not shown as figures on app. Having said that, the application was key to my success as I completed the FAA written today with a 90%..Banjo560Version: 1.28

Instrument prepareContent excellent but the mechanics have some problems. The program shuffles the questions each time it starts so if you don't do the whole category (100+ questions) then it starts over in a new order. The program also restarts in test mode even though you were last in study mode. BUT many pluses if what younlike is compact content and a sound explanation of the right answer. Other than the problem above I would like to see a waynto skip questions which do not apply to my equipment. Good for a competency ride but not for the written..GlennMetcalfVersion: 1.22

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..Owl169Version: 1.22

Great supplementThe simple layout of this app is why I made the purchase. At this price prepware is a steal. I use the full price software when I have time to study in front of a computer and I use the apps when I am at work or school taking a break. The main issue I have is that the test questions don't update often enough, however, if you study the questions and understand the concepts this will help you pass either way! Buy the app! It will help!.Game is bad!Version: 1.39

Fantastic appI used ASA prep ware to study for both my private and instrument written and I'm about to buy the commercial app to study for my commercial written. Thanks to this app I made an 82 on my instrument written. Although some of the questions were not word for word on the test, the principles remained almost spot on. As long and you understand why the answer is what it is instead of trying to memorize everything, you'll do great. Good luck!.BahahendkdlsnVersion: 1.45.1

WorksThis was the only thing I used to study for the instrument and FII test. I only had 5 days to study for the test so I ran out of time and wasn't able to go through all of the questions but I still got a 87% on the Instrument and a 90% on the FII. My advice is go through all of the questions until you know them then do the practice tests, it worked for me!.Sweet_as_sugrVersion: 1.25

Fixed! Thank you!!!With this update, things seem a bit cleaner, faster, and I can't make it crash even if I try! I have the CFI as well. Thank you ASA. Looking forward to future updates, and more aviation apps from you! Would love to have the CX-2 on my iphone, any plans for that?.BrianwadesniderVersion: 0

Great Study ToolThis app works well and is simple to use. There is one little problem I did just run into though, on some answers that are longer than the three lines of text that is provided, the end of the answer is cut off and impossible to read. Other than that, this is a great app. Good job ASA..Geko771Version: 1.25

Good valueWhile the app might not have the fancy features of its competitors (videos, fancy indicators and buttons), for its price it has an excellent value as it does include an updated database of the questions in an easy to study format. I'm studying for my IFR and already have books and videos, was missing an easy cheap and reliable app for my iPad with just questions..PulidoJ08Version: 1.35

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..TR182MDVersion: 0

Good Instrument Rating Practice Test App...This app does use the same bank of questions used by the FAA and its does give a good representation of the actual mix of questions on the actual test. I just took my test this week and scored an 85%. I do wish these prepware apps had a way to eliminate the questions that i know well so i can concentrate on those I need to work on..ImmelmanVersion: 1.29

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!.MiranoffVersion: 1.37

Please add a timer and number of questions selection.Just like other ASA applications it is a really good app, but it would be great to have time! Also, it would be good to have "number of questions" function and ability to choose multiple study areas in "study" mode..RobOnerenVersion: 1.29

Great app if on the go.This app allowed me to study when I had some down time at work and school, but it still needs to tell you your percentage of questions you got wrong in each sentence and on open it should start and fresh and basically almost duplicate the software on pc.Allfruitsripe123Version: 1.23

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..KoolPilotCat919Version: 1.35

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..Joseph880508Version: 1.29

Same as the other guyGood study questions but a save button that actually has a resume button would be nice. And a spot where it shows the questions that needs the most help on..Mic troubleVersion: 1.33

Prepware Instrument Pilot Negative Reviews

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..Go Bama13Version: 1.46

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..Luke3423423943Version: 1.49

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..Capt WAILVersion: 1.55

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..Pilot janatVersion: 1.45.2

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..DoggggghhfhfhVersion: 1.45.2

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..Jarrod J LVersion: 1.53

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.Ronald_85gomezVersion: 1.56

Awful for rotorcraft studentsThere’s a large number of fixed-wing specific questions in the rotorcraft section..TzarandCzarVersion: 1.54

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!.StopSkynetVersion: 1.49

Wrong questionsThis app needs to be updated! The questions on this app are not the questions on the test..Tjsport04Version: 1.45.2

Please updateI did yesterday the test and quite all the questions were different from the app. Be aware guys !.TomferriVersion: 1.46

Needs to have questions correctedMany of the question/answer pairings make no sense or are incorrect..UsaaaaaaasasaaaaaVersion: 1.45.2

Working on instrument ratingThe private was on point, I recommend alternative means for instrument studying..C_swillyVersion: 1.50

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..MjkobbVersion: 1.33

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..Az122Version: 1.28

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..CourtshipVersion: 1.26

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.ItouchfanaticsVersion: 1.26

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..ILikeSlurpeesVersion: 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..Nypetter913Version: 1.24
