### 1/5 — Audio does not work

*2022-02-08, version 1.0.3*

### 1/5 — Incorrect Answers

*2021-03-04, version 1.0.2*

Is this a set up? Ridiculous number of incorrect answers. This, amongst abundance of other issues, make it very clear that this company rushed the app out to get their government payout. Pathetic.

### 2/5 — The audio book is all wrong

*2020-12-12, version 1.0.2*

All the chapters are mixed up on the audio book now and it is using old material from 2017, Not the 2019 version PDG. Last year it was accurate and this cycle it’s not.

### 1/5 — Errors

*2020-11-20, version 1.0.2*

Audio book chapters do not follow the same table of context as the book. Chapter 5 emergency management is chapter 17 in the audio book. Then goes ahead and doesn’t even follow the text.

### 2/5 — Error in audio book

*2020-11-13, version 1.0.2*

I keep getting an error when trying to add sections of the audio book. It states I need to be connected to internet. Tried WiFi and cell service. Tried different locations. It’s not all the sections but of course are some that I need based on the testing chart.

### 1/5 — Audio files don’t work

The study aids (flash cards, etc.) have the wrong answers.

### 2/5 — Please fix!

*2020-05-28, version 1.0.1*

Refuses to let me download the audio guide...  the whole “convenient” point as to WHY I got the app in the first place!  Extremely frustrating!
