FAA IFR Instrument Rating Prep User Reviews

Ifr prep

One of the best pilot exam preparation apps that I have seen. I have tried some of the apps from Sportys kings and Shepard and found that Dauntless software is the most straightforward package out there. I use the software on my iPad and on my iPhone. It allows me to constantly stay informed with the current FAA exam questions as I prepare for my Instrument exam day. The customer support is great I just sent them an email today and they responded the same day. Top-notch support.

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. Thereโ€™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 todayโ€™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 wonโ€™t be using it.

Lots of learning methods

Iโ€™ve been a CFI for 25 years. Decided to finally upgrade to CFII. I looked and tried numerous other programs. Iโ€™m really impressed with Dauntless and their learning products, specifically the IFR test prep. Whether flash cards or formatted tests, the layout and ability to learn in a way comfortable to you is very useful.

Scored 90 on my Airplane Instrument today

The app has some awesome features that will really help you concentrate on your weak areas. Pick "all questions with no charts" for quick learning of IFR information, but definitely study and read the explanations. You can mark questions that need extra attention. The "stack" feature helps sort problematic questions. Reason for 4 stars.... there were about 4 questions I hadn't seen, nor read anything about on the actual test. A lot of the questions weren't verbatim, but close. The changes to the FAA test bank showed, you have to do a little more than just memorize the questions in the app. This app has approximately a 1200 question database. Hard to not recommend making a 90 today.

Terrific test bank software

The explanations are top notch and the question distribution will easily show you on which topics you need to concentrate. They also update the material regularly.

Five star in in every way

I purchased the dauntless training system for the instrument rating exam upon the recommendation of a friend who is a corporate pilot. I had no idea that it is so much better than I even expected. I hold an amateur extra license as a ham radio operator. There are three exams leading up to the amateur extra which is the most difficult. It is actually a nightmare, however using a system similar to Dauntless I aced the test. That was proof that this methodology works for me. When I bought the system, I came to see that it is more comprehensive and more thorough than I ever even anticipated. I have not yet taking the instrument rating test, but I am 100% confident that after putting in a few hours with the dauntless system, I will walk out of there with a 100%, and you can bet that you will find a follow up review once I've done that :-)

Great Study Partner

This app is awesome! A huge bank of questions and each have a great explanation of the answers. Easy to understand graphics and pictures to help you learn the subject matter. It was my go to study aid before my written test.
Now I'm going to check out their "Ride Ready" check ride prep app.
Thanks.

The best study app!!

I used this app to study and got a 92 on my test! The app helped a lot making it easy and convenient to study where ever I was whenever I had spare time! On the actual test there were very few questions I had not seen from studying with the app or at least seen a different version of the same question! I even emailed the company with some feedback after taking my test and got a email back within 24hrs saying they were going to correct what I pointed out! Loved the app would defiantly recomend it to anyone who wants and easy and convient way to study! I will be purchasing the apps to study for all of my other ratings and certificates as well!

Superb training but bad GUI

The best IFR training app out there for sure. Tons of questions and 99% of the time explanations not only get right to the point, but go the extra mile. Why not 5 stars then you say? To be honest, the GUI (graphical user interface) is just bad. It's inconsistent, looks outdated, and some simple things like overlapping your cellular/wifi/time/battery bar on top. The study material is of quality, I think it deserves a quality interface.

I reloaded the app and it's still not working!

I have a test coming up soon, I loved it when it was working, latest update crashed it.. I tried everything the support mentioned. Still blank on the answers
