### 1/5 — Crashes Constantly

*2025-06-29*

Crashes every 20 minutes or so on a brand new iPad mini 
Wish I could just download the epub I paid for and use it in a different app.

### 1/5 — Functional, but…..

*2025-05-24*

UPDATE: downgraded to one star as the app frequently shuts down on me and reverts back to the holding pattern page. I really wish they’d figure out a fix because I love the concept but the execution is terrible. I tell my students not to waste their money…. 

I’m unable to submit feedback directly from the app as “something went wrong” 
1. Bookmarks are arranged in order that you set them, not something logical like in order of page number, or customizable. 
2. I’d like to be able to delete older books from my library but that’s not an option. 
3. In the FAR/AIM and FAR-FC books it would be nice to have additional menu/table of contents available to get to sub parts of Chapters instead of only being able to go to the beginning of Part 91 - a huge chapter.
4. I’m unable to delete a bookmark, which would be really handy to reorder what I’ve got right now….

### 1/5 — 1 STAR

*2025-04-08*

The app crashes

### 1/5 — Crashes continually

*2025-02-25*

Like other review said, app keeps crashing. It’s annoying that this app is the only legitimate way to read the books I spent good money on, yet it keeps crashing and losing my place. Have had to delete and re-install the app multiple times now. Makes me long for an actual paper book.

### 1/5 — Keeps crashing

*2025-02-22*

While using the app, my iPad gets hot and the app crashes.  When I look at the crash log, it’s been running too much CPU for more than the allowed time in iOS. I have no idea what it’s doing in the background that is so CPU intensive, but I have to restart the app and then I’ve lost my place and a few minutes later it crashes again for overuse of the CPU. Here is the specific message in the crash report:

CPU:              90 seconds cpu time over 90 seconds (99% cpu average), exceeding limit of 50% cpu over 180 seconds
CPU limit:        90s

### 2/5 — Keeps crashing

*2024-12-25, version 1.0.2*

I have a practical coming up and if I don’t use the app for 30 seconds it crashes on iPad

### 1/5 — Download button doesn’t work.

*2024-11-20, version 1.0.2*

Nothing happens when i press the download button

### 1/5 — A waste of money

*2024-11-13, version 1.0.2*

I feel awful I wasted my money on this. I bought the FARAIM and used this app to access. Horrid search. Try searching for 1-1-17, you can’t. Is it accessible from the outline? No. Do the thumbnails work? No. Can I copy a word to search? No. Can I scribble with Apple Pencil? No. 

Why did I pay for this?

When a company insists no refunds at purchase, that’s a big red flag. They already know it’s a dud. 

Just download the free pdf from the FAA.

### 1/5 — 👎🏻

*2024-10-02*

Can’t make an account or sign in

### 1/5 — Unable to login

*2024-05-21, version 1.0.1*

My credentials are verified (work on website) but the app won’t take them. Makes my purchase useless. Let me download a PDF instead?

### 2/5 — Crashes a lot

*2024-02-14, version 1.0.1*

Can’t study often because it crashes a ton

### 1/5 — Unable to login

*2024-01-26, version 1.0.1*

Unable to login on my IPad mini 5

### 1/5 — Defective totally

*2026-04-14*

This application is a complete failure. The bookmarks are not functional, and they can’t be deleted or edited from the bookmark menu. You can only log in from one device at a time to read the books you purchased. ASA clearly has no incentive or plan to fix this application, they know you have no choice but to use their garbage product.

### 1/5 — Extremely Buggy

*2026-03-16*

This app is full of bus that cause it to crash constantly. Features that are standard in any reader app like highlighting and note-taking are also much harder to use in this app. Fittingly even the feedback function doesn’t work.

If I want to buy another ASA book in the future, I’ll be using iBooks.

### 1/5 — Really terrible experience with ASA

*2026-03-10*

My fault for not checking ratings and reviews first, but my experience with ASA’s ePub books has been absolutely awful. In fact, ASA as an organization is really terrible to deal with. This app is completely broken, and looking at reviews it has been since inception. The web experience for their books is just as bad. For some reason, in 20-friggin-26, this organization can’t hire competent web developers. Trying to navigate these books is just so buggy and terrible.
Honestly, I think I’m going to attempt a charge-back on my cc so I never have to deal with this incompetent, antiquated boomer club ever again.

### 1/5 — Clean up the bugs please!

*2025-12-30*

The app randomly crashes often. Either after crashing or just when opening the app after a few days, it doesn’t pickup where I left off, taking me back several pages, so I waste time going over the same material again. Since I use the iPhone and iPad to study the materials, I often find the same issue, where the app doesn’t remember where it was last time and I again have to review the material twice. So much time wasted. I’ve tried closing the book and opening it again and it always takes at least  2 times to properly update.

### 1/5 — Hard to Use

*2025-11-23*

Incredibly difficult to use, even worse not on phone. Textbook is fine but because it’s terrible to use it’s basically a waste of money to get it digitally.

### 1/5 — Useless

*2025-11-12*

Once you open the books it only opens the title page, there is no way for me to change page

### 1/5 — Downgrade

*2025-10-26, version 1.0.3*

Latest revision has me signing on every 5 minutes. A big disappointment in the interest of upgrading

### 1/5 — Crashes a lot

*2025-10-21*

Crashes a lot. Then it chooses a specific page to always start up on and it’s impossible to change. I have to delete and re-download program to fix.

### 1/5 — Can’t access my books on iPad

*2025-09-27, version 1.0.2*

I want my money back this company is sub par in a day and age where every pilot has an iPad their iPad app doesn’t work

### 1/5 — Crashing

*2025-07-14, version 1.0.2*

The app crashes every 10 minutes and sends me back a whole chapter. Fix the app or let me download the dang book onto my iPad.

### 5/5 — Good app works well on my iPad

*2024-01-16*

Downloaded a couple titles. One was from the reader app and one was a new download. Both worked fine.

### 5/5 — Easy-use

*2024-01-03*

Easy to download and use.  The page scrolling is neat & responsive.  I like the markup tools as well.

### 4/5 — Crashes, Loses My Place UPDATE

*2025-01-11, version 1.0.2*

UPDATE: Tech support explained that I can’t be logged-in to this app on more than one device simultaneously. Since logging-out of my Android app, the iPad app has been working well. I would prefer to be able to go back-and-forth between apps, but this is ok. ORIGINAL REVIEW: It was working very well until about December 26th, then started crashing after several minutes of being open. Upon re-opening, it takes me somewhere I’m not working in the material, so I have to manually search for where I was working. Every time it crashes, it takes me back to the same incorrect place where I’m not working. Just sell us a pdf or e-book, because those work.

### 4/5 — Inconvenient for taking notes

*2024-04-10*

In the drawing mode, I cannot flip to the next page and I have to exit the drawing mode to flip and then turn it on again. It would be better if I could flip with two fingers.

### 3/5 — Crashing

*2025-09-18*

Please update for iOS 26 soon. The app keeps crashing and I’m trying to study! Thank you.

### 2/5 — 자꾸 어플이 혼자 꺼진다

*2025-08-30*

어플이 자꾸 꺼져서 공부하는데 방해가 심하다

### 2/5 — Crash

*2025-05-15*

I like having my books all on my iPad so that I don’t have to carry all my books around with me from class to class but I hate that the app crashes constantly. Please dev team fix this, also it eats up battery.

### 2/5 — Functional, but…..

### 2/5 — Crashing

*2024-12-31*

The app crashes about every 5 minutes and doesn’t put me back where I was.
