Lost ability to cast
The newest version of the app seems to have broken the chrome cast functionality. I’ve verified that the app has Local Network access turned on in Settings, but the cast button in the app is now gone or sometimes greyed out.
Easily the best resource for an aspiring pilot
I went through Sporty’s learn to fly course in its entirety before beginning my flight training. It was an approachable way to get more familiar with aircraft, their systems, weather, airspace, and procedures. I enjoyed it so much that I bought the remote pilot course - also worth the money - and took the FAA part 107 test, only missing a single question.
The recent updates have fixed a bug where the remote pilot course would disappear and I’d have to restore the purchase every single time. The only thing I’d like to see improved is not having to chromecast each individual video, but automatically play the next if there isn’t a post-lesson quiz.

Flight review from Sporty’s
The information was well presented and informative. For pilots like myself who may have not flown in years, this course brings you up to speed with present day tools and techniques. The curriculum skillfully explains the various aspects of flying from regulations, airspace categories, weather, all the way to practical flying recommendations. I have my flight review scheduled in a few days and I feel much more confident after reviewing this course. Well done!

Amazing
5 Stars
Passed Private and Instrument written exams
I used Sporty’s for both private and instrument ground courses and passed with a 92% and 93%, respectively. No course will fully prepare you, but, Sporty’s delivered the course content and test prep to get me ready to test and be prepared for real life IFR and actual time in IMC. Looking forward to returning for my CPL!

How to Fly Online Course
This is an excellent 1st class course for new pilots or for those like me who flew long ago & now wish to become current again. In my younger days I was a CFI, but I needed to get a career started & I stopped flying.
The videos & text reviews are spot on. They are very thorough. They explain everything a private pilot needs to know & more. The flying videos demonstrate most of the maneuvers in ways easy to understand.
And the quizzes are fun. Some are a little tricky in that one should look at the words carefully before answering, but then pilots should always look at things carefully for safety reasons.

Buggy Chromecast
The Chromecast streaming functions are extremely buggy and frustrating, especially trying to finish one video and go on to the next. Even trying to submit this review in-app, the text color is white on a white background making it impossible to actually see the review I am currently authoring. Perhaps because my iPad settings are dark mode but the Sporty’s app doesn’t support that? Grr.

Most practical aviation training available by far
I’ve tried a handful of different training apps (4 to be exact) of some of the other most popular ones out there, and this training program and app is by far the best developed and user friendly online training that I’ve use so far. The difference is, this program was noticeably designed for its users, YOU. Not for the people behind the program. I’d recommend the Sporty’s Pilot Training to everyone. Happy confirmed customer rite here.

Rusty Pilot Radio Refresher
After not flying for 25 years, the hardest thing to deal with was the rapid fire ATC communications. The flying comes back fast, the navigation and weather have been made crazy simple by tech but communications, oh my goodness it was way harder than I expected. This course is fantastic as it updates you on the best practices and shows you real examples for much of what you need for cross country flights. Arriving/departing Cass D, C & B airports. I would have liked more interaction of filing VFR ICAO flight plans and more interaction with Flight Service. But it helped me a lot!
