Prepware Instrument Pilot

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 1000 questions on practice test app and dont put the ability to search through those 1000 questions save test results or even just uncheck material of questions you dont 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 1000 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           Good not great

Same questions youll find on the FAA written                 great

It 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        Sunlight

Good 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              Same as the other guy

Very convenient when you are a full time flight student balancing a full load of college courses but it needs an update for the retina display Not having retina support at this point is inexcusable           Needs update

This 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     Crippled to the point of uselessness

This 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 doesnt save your work and you have to start over Also some of the legends the questions refer to ie 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              Very Helpful

You will have buyers remorse on this one if you are really wanting to study for the written No way to go back and study the ones you missed or marked Some of the answers and questions are cut off and you have to guess at what comes next        Poor study program

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              Please add a timer and number of questions selection

With this update things seem a bit cleaner faster and I cant 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 CX2 on my iphone any plans for that                 Fixed Thank you

Its 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 wouldnt 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     Its just not good

Great app to study Many misspellings              Not bad

Crashes way too often     Useless

This is great and so much cheaper than the computer versions                 Awesome

Nice 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           Need work

The app has good study questions and is a very useful study aid However there are two issues First the Save feature doesnt 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 lowres 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        Save feature is broken and useless

I passed 20 practice exams with this app scoring in the mid 80s Then sat for the real thing and most the questions Id never seen in my life I failed     not realistic tests

I took my FAA written test for private studying from Asas apps and I got good results Now Im preparing for the instruments rating test with this app Thank you Asa for this incredible study material                 Nice helpfully app

This 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                 Great Study Tool

I used this for instrument and CFII I was getting 9698 consistently on the practice test and each written exam I only scored 83on both exams I have used other test prep in the past and scored in the high 90s each time I would recommend using a different product        Only worth 999

This 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 wasnt 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                 Works

Used this app to study and prepare for my instrument written passed with a 90 score Its 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              A great study tool an excellent refresher

Most of the questions and answers are not complete 50 percent of a question is missing on numerous questions     Bad update

While 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 Im studying for my IFR and already have books and videos was missing an easy cheap and reliable app for my iPad with just questions              Good value

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              Great app if on the go

UPDATE 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 1020 questions dont 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 Ill report back after a week of full useage              New version is much improved

I used only this App for studying with the ASA Book and Supplement for about 1 week of 6 8 hours of studying I got 98 on the CFII                 Great Study Aid

A few of the answers are cut short and the needs to be a better way to save Easy to use I took my instrument airplane with a 82 in 35 minutes and my instrument helicopter with an 85 in 18 minutes Dont just take practice tests go through every question in study mode              Few bugs

There are some questions we need to use figures to answer it but this app simply doesnt display them     No figures

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              Great App and WELL worth the money

Great study app HOWEVER when using the Study mode if you leave and return and pickup where you left off extended timea 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 cant study all the questions in one sitting Thank you        Bug

I 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           Hard to see some images

The new update smells Cant go back when you open a figure Fix this soon please     Ok

Was a great app before the update you guys need to fix the bugs you cant go back to the question when you look at a figure the back button just disappears And I cant 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     Dont view the figures

Great for questions but app closes by itself or looses a test you may be taking if you minimize it to do something else they need to come out with a save option so you can finish tests or review previous taken tests           Looses yes

Frankly 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 appthis is not an iPad vs pc thingI 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 appthe 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 Ie reviewing stuff you should already know this app will probably work out okay           Prepware instrument prep

This would be a really great app if it didnt crash halfway through a test everytime I tried to use it Very frustrating to say the least It would be a nice application but the crashes make it useless Ill stick with my Gleim book     Has potential

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              Good Instrument Rating Practice Test App

Numerous bugs with latest update made this version unusable Cant get back to question from the figure display is one of them     Screwed up with latest update

Being that this is v 12 the programs works for a nice review before your written test or maybe oral As for a trainer its lacking some basic elements such as saving a study sections reviewing marked questions for later and saving your answer and displaying the correct answer in the study mode Also some features seem to work only in port it vrs landscape           Good but needs work

It is very helpful but when you havent 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           Pilot

content excellent but the mechanics have some problems The program shuffles the questions each time it starts so if you dont 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              Instrument prepare

I have used this application for about 10 hours now Its okay for what its 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 cant 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           Its Okay
