User reviews

Great Info, bad app functioning

I love and hate this app. It has helped me tremendously with information that I need to know of the PPL check ride, and just for general knowledge… but the app barely works! I only have a MacBook and I can’t turn the pages in the answer manuals unless I manually click and drag my finger, and it is so sensitive that it flips me 10 pages at a time. Neither the “turn page” button at the top, nor the left and right keys on my MacBook let me turn pages.

I downloaded it on my phone and can turn the pages on there, but it is so much better visually on the Mac. I hope they fix this because then I would recommend to everyone getting their PPL or any other license!

Great Resource

Great resource that goes through every bit of the ACS for private, Instrument, and Commercial. If read through and study the material in this app, almost guaranteed to pass the oral exam

Best way to study towards piloting certifications.

I was in charge of enrollment at a flight school in WA state and recommended this app to any new student pilot who enrolled.

The app is organized in a way to let you study with ease, and the information is very much in depth. This goes above the standards you will need to pass a practical and oral test. So if you study using this, you will have no issue on the big day.

Used for PPL written

Loaded with tons of information, the videos are concise and thorough. The ACS is broken down through the videos and easy to follow along. Helped me pass, good luck!

No Brainer

I have never left a review for an app in my life. I’m studying for my private pilot checkride. I’ve purchased a lot of aviation study materials thus far. This is by far an absolute necessity of an investment for your checkride. Don’t hesitate and just take my word. I even had a question on the best ways to use the app to study, and the developer reached out almost immediately and went above and beyond in answering my question,and even gave more tips and advice.
