### 2/5 — count down

*2025-10-03*

the countdown to go to the next segment isn’t a bad idea but the fact that i could miss click a answer on a 2 question knowledge quiz and have to sit through another 15 minutes of information i already read makes me wish this school choose another app to use.

### 1/5 — I hate this app

*2024-09-11*

Takes an insane amount of time to go through even if you already know the material. Wish there was a placement test before hand so you could go a little bit faster through the material

**Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback! We appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts, and we understand how important it is to balance thoroughness with efficiency, especially for users who already have a strong understanding of the material.

Your suggestion for a placement test is a great idea and something we’ll consider as we continue to improve the app. Our goal is to make learning as effective and flexible as possible for all users, regardless of their starting knowledge.

We’re grateful for your input and are always looking for ways to enhance the experience for our users. If you have any other suggestions or feedback, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us directly. Thank you for using AeroGuard Classroom, and we wish you continued success in your studies!

### 5/5 — Useful learning

*2022-11-03*

FlightReady provided plenty of useful learning modules for the private pilot test. After many hours spent in the app, I Scored a 98% on the FAA exam with one question answered incorrectly. Btw I was part 61 student whereas many other users at my training center were under part 141.
The developers do respond to queries posted through the app. Mainly, I discovered small typos and other grammar problems and I submitted the feedback forms to improve the app.
The content is great and prepared me well for the FAA exam for private pilot.
Liked the feature of being able to work on areas of “need improvement” and over time moving the need improvement to the “mastery” category.

**Developer response:** Congratulations on your incredible 98% score on the FAA exam! 🎉 We’re so proud to have been part of your journey and thrilled to hear that the app’s content and features, like the “needs improvement” to “mastery” system, helped you succeed.

We truly appreciate your effort in pointing out typos and grammar issues through the feedback forms—your input directly helps us improve the app for all users. It’s great to hear that the app provided valuable learning modules and support for a Part 61 student like yourself.

Thank you for your kind words and for recognizing the responsiveness of our team. We’re committed to delivering an exceptional experience and supporting every user’s aviation goals. Wishing you continued success in your flight training!

### 1/5 — Could be so much better!

*2021-07-15*

Unfortunately the owners/developers/admins of this app are locked into their rigid paradigm and do not listen to feedback from users.  This would be an amazing tool both for learning as well as preparation for the FAA knowledge tests if it incorporated some of the structure of Sheppard Air study programs.  Sheppard Air got me a 96% on Instrument and 99% on Commercial!

**Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback, and congratulations on your impressive scores on the Instrument and Commercial FAA exams! 🎉 We’re glad you’ve taken the time to share your thoughts, and we appreciate your suggestion about incorporating features from other study programs like Sheppard Air.

We strive to provide a well-rounded and effective learning tool while catering to a wide range of study styles. We’re always open to feedback and continuously work to improve the app based on user input. If you have specific ideas about how we could refine the structure to better meet your needs, we’d love to hear them! Feel free to reach out to us through the Support button in the app.

Thank you for using AeroGuard Classroom, and we wish you continued success in your aviation journey!

### 1/5 — Meh

*2021-05-11*

Meh

**Developer response:** “Meh”? Well, we were hoping for a “Wow!” but we’ll take it. 😅 Jokes aside, we’d love to know how we can turn that “Meh” into a “Marvelous!” If you have suggestions or ideas, feel free to drop us a note through the Support button in the app. We’re here to make your experience anything but “Meh.” ✈️

### 1/5 — Save your time

*2021-02-18*

Don’t recommend, very arbitrary in nature. Forced time is childish and annoying. Might get you a 73 on a written test....maybe.

**Developer response:** hank you for sharing your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that the app didn’t meet your expectations and that you found some aspects, like the timed features, frustrating. The timing functionality is designed to help simulate the pacing of real FAA exams, but we understand it may not suit everyone’s study style.

Our goal is to provide a comprehensive tool to help users confidently prepare for their FAA exams, and we’d love to learn more about how we can improve your experience. If you have specific suggestions, please don’t hesitate to reach out via the Support button in the app.

Thank you again for your input, and we wish you success in your aviation journey!

### 4/5 — Works fine, could benefit from moving away from textbook style

*2021-02-09*

My rating isn’t a knock on the app or its functionality, it has worked fine for me without fail. It’s just that it doesn’t suit my learning style in any way. I take the time to study and absorb the material but I simply can’t learn by reading page after page, then immediately being expected to understand/memorize the material. I assume I’m not the only one who struggles in that regard. I would benefit more from video/interactive activities and I think everyone else would too. I know there is a set curriculum, but it is something to consider adding in the future to help others learn more efficiently (:

**Developer response:** Thank you for the constructive feebdack. The courses are currently being revised to incorporate interactive activities, and those changes will roll out with course updates over the next few months.

### 1/5 — Anything but user-friendly, waste of time

*2020-06-12*

There is an update every time you log in. It has timers on every slide and will not let you move at your own pace. Once you’ve completed an area you cannot go back to review. If you are more hands on like I am, you will feel like you are in prison trying to finish this. Buy Gleim or Sportys. With this app I found myself copying down everything in my notes word for word just to study the material. If you take too long on a slide it puts a timer on the screen for sign-out so not only are you fighting this app to learn the material but now you have to push a button on your screen as your rewriting the app. It has been frustrating to say the least.

**Developer response:** Thank your for the feedback. In the future, if you experience issues using the app, I suggest tapping the Support button in the app. I think you'll find that we address problems quickly. Unfortunately there is not much we can fix in this case because your review does not provide any specific examples, but I will discuss how the functionality you expressed concerns with works.

As an initial matter, the course settings you expressed concerns with are set in accordance with your flight school's policies. If you disagree with those policies, you should address them with your schoool.  We can only fix software issues (i.e., is the app properly applying those policies).


"There is an update every time you log in."

The app does not require a log in every time it is used, nor does it require an update every time a user logs in or opens the app. We issue updates as needed to provide the most current content. On average we update the app once per week.  Updates takes 15 seconds to download on the average high-speed connection, and we apologize for any inconvenience this long period of waiting may cause.

If the app is requiring you to update the course EVERY time you open the app, that is not corect behavior, and should be reported via the Support button in the app.

"Once you’ve completed an area you cannot go back to review."

This is not correct. There is no part of any course that is locked after completion, and you may freely review any lesson. If you are locked out a lesson after it is completed, that is a bug that should be reported via the Support button in the app.

"It has timers on every slide and will not let you move at your own pace."

This is likely referring to the requirement that you spend a minimum amount of time reading the presented text before the next button is enabled.  You should never be hindered from moving at your own pace because that timer is based on a reading comprehension speed in the top 98th percentile of college-level readers.  

It would be extremely unusual for a student to read and understand the text in less time than the app requires.  But if this is occurring to you on regular basis, we can adjust this setting for you.  I suggest a reading comprehension test, such as the one at www.freereadingtest.com, to determine how fast you can read and comprehend text. If it is over 300 words per minute, then we can adjust your settings.

If this occurs in isolated instances, then it is possible that the activity is configured improperly. The average reading activity contains around 120 words, and requires 25 seconds to complete. If it is taking significantly longer, please tap the Support button in the app, and let us know the lesson and activity.


"If you take too long on a slide it puts a timer on the screen for sign-out"

You are likely referring to the inactivity warning that appears if the app detects inactivity.  This warning requires an extremely long period of inactivity.  For example, students take an average of 2 seconds to answer questions, and the warning appears after 60 seconds have elapsed with no interaction with the app.  Tapping the OK button dismisses the warning for the same period of time. 

Again, it would be extremely unusual for a student to see this warning ever, let alone multiple times while taking a course.  If you see an inactivity warning, and you feel it was displayed before you had a chance to complete the activity or answer the question, please tap the Support button and report it to us.

I hope this helps you understand how the app works.  In the future, if you experience any issues using the app, please tap the Support button and communicate the problem to us. We can't fix problems that are not communicated to us.

### 1/5 — I wanna review what I marked

*2020-02-16*

Not convenient!
 can not save and search what questions I marked.

**Developer response:** We appreciate the feedback, and will look into incorporating this in a future update. In the future if you have any concerns or suggestions, please contact us.

### 5/5 — Idiot app

*2019-09-09*

I cannot open it and it always remind me that I should update the lesson ,as long as the screen goes out,the lessons will be lost .Such a stupid app

**Developer response:** Did you try contacting us for help?
