Superb

Wow, thank you for the superb review! I am glad you are loving the Trace test and finding the new 'where you went wrong' feature helpful for your prep. Best of luck on your military aptitude tests!
Amazing app
Some of the sections make you think under pressure, especially the spatial awareness games.
Overall, it’s a solid app if you’re preparing for CBAT. Definitely worth it, as it helps get your brain working.

Thank you so much for the detailed feedback! I am really glad you’re finding the multitasking and spatial sections challenging. Best of luck with your upcoming tests!
great app
Response from developer
I really appreciate the feedback! It’s great to know the recent updates are hitting the mark. I completely agree that a score-tracking feature would be a valuable addition for monitoring progress. Thanks for helping make the app better, and good luck with your CBAT!
This app is great practice

Thanks for the kind words Jake! I’m glad you’re enjoying the app!
One issue, other than that good app
Response from developer
Hello! Thank you for the feedback. I'm happy to let you know that this was an issue with Dark Mode with the CU test and it has been fixed in the latest update. Please update your app to see the controls properly. I appreciate your patience, and if you have any other suggestions, feel free to reach out via email!
Don’t put all your eggs in this basket
The point of CBAT is that you can’t revise for it, it’s impossible, you won’t be able to replicate the mental strain of 23 tests and 7ish hours of testing. However this app does well to prime you for the kind of thinking you will need to do in order to do well. I was talking with other people who wildly out scored me on the app but then didn’t pass the CBAT and were 40+ marks off of my score so it really is not an analogue.
I recommend the app as long as you don’t let it make you more nervous for the day, ultimately the revision you do won’t make or break you, you just have to relax and trust yourself, but I do think that it’s worth taking the time to get familiar with some of the ideas behind each test.
Ultimately the tests are much much harder than what you will experience on this app but you won’t find a better app out there if you want to get in the right headspace.

Thanks for sharing your experience — that’s really helpful insight! I completely agree that the app is best used as a primer rather than a predictor. Like you said, doing well on the app doesn’t automatically translate to passing the CBAT or FAT. I think your point about familiarising yourself with the types of thinking and concepts behind the tests is key — it’s more about training your mindset than memorising questions.
Amazing support and app
Response from developer
Hi Finlay, thank you so much! I’m really glad I could help get those issues sorted quickly. It’s fantastic to hear the app is helping build your confidence for the CBAT — that’s exactly why I built it! Best of luck with your selection.
useless waste of money
Amazing tool
Helpful but unclear
I think it’s worth the app having the tests relevant to each area so you can choose to only do those that are relevant. Also the names in the app need to align to those used for the testing otherwise it’s not clear.
Eg an intelligence office vs a pilot
Decent app
Take with a pinch of salt
Helps ALOT
The tests which are most accurate is the mental arithmetic, STD, spatial awareness, the 2nd memory game, shadowing and instrument comprehension. I can’t recommend practising these enough.
Many people say you can’t prepare for CBAT, this app proves them wrong.
Regarding other reviews, no there isn’t every test, and the tests on here aren’t all identical, but it does get your brain use to the way of thinking that’s required.
Response from developer
Congratulations on passing your CBAT for pilot — that’s a fantastic achievement! ✈️ I’m really glad the app was able to help with your preparation. You’re absolutely right that the goal isn’t to replicate every test exactly, but to help people get used to the types of thinking and skills involved. Thanks for sharing your experience, and best of luck with the rest of your selection process!
So far so good
Who is “Call Sign Pizza” please? You high schools are driving me insane.
Confused on some games
Besides that it’s such a good way to practise
Not a great app
The instrument comprehension test included banking degrees, as well as turns (sharp or balanced), both of which the app doesn’t include, the geographical awareness questions in the app are also very poor in challenge compared to the test. in the test you were told to make a map in your head of 4-8 locations including distance and direction between then, whereas in the app you’re only given three locations with a 50/50 west or east answer.
The multitasking segment in the app is also lacking as in the test you were given 2-4 call signs and like simon says you could only do tasks if told them, you had to press a button when a beep came on within 3 seconds, you had to remember a string of 6/7 digit numbers, you also had to go through specific squares and circles using the joystick avoiding the walls of the tunnel, all while white noise was playing in the background.
I gave this app two stars because it has helped a tiny bit but other than that i wouldn’t recommend downloading, no hate to the development team but the rest of the people doing CBAT on the day thought the same.
Good luck if you’re taking the CBAT, and remember to take your time.
Success!
Really great app for practicing CBAT
There is an issue I’ve run into though over the past few times of using it. For the “align the dot” test i found that after a few rounds the dot will not react to my inputs, I know it’s based off the iphones motion sensors; don’t quote me on that though, and I found that after a few rounds the dot will not even rezct to my movements with the phone. Not sure if it’s on my end, probably is, but thought I’d mention it.
Great app though nonetheless and well worth it for anyone doing the CBAT.
Great
Helped me a lot , cbat will use the whats in the app but to a harder extent.
Helpful but Fateful
Response from developer
Thank you for the honest feedback. I am glad you found the arithmetic sections 'brilliant' for building core skills, but I’m sorry the app didn’t meet your expectations for the full CBAT experience. Because the military frequently updates the actual testing suite to ensure it remains a test of natural aptitude, no third-party app can provide a 1:1 factual mirror. Our goal is to provide the 'mental gym' to prepare your brain for the intensity, rather than a cheat sheet for the day and to familiarize yourself with certain concepts. I will take your comments on board as I look at future updates.
