Can’t Use?

You need a verification code to use. The system says it is sending one but it never arrives. I spent $100 for nothing.

Response from developer

What you are referring to is the verification email that is sent to your email address when you create a new account. This email is sent immediately. If you did not receive the email it is because you entered an incorrect email address or because it ended up in your junk/spam filter. This is not the fault of the app. In the future, if you experience issues using the app (or any app) you will find that the issue will be resolved much faster than leaving a negative review.

Solid foundation but you might need more.

The RPAS Advance Operation test by Transport Canada is very challenging. Most questions have nothing to do with small RPAS. This app have a lot of informations and helped me greatly. Unfortunately only a handful of the 500 plus questions I practiced with were on the tests I took. I would say about 1/3 of the exams questions weren’t part of the course. Perhaps I got some updated TC Exams... In any case, make sure to have the regulation ready to go when writing the exam. I did not pass on my first try after finishing the course so don’t be discouraged if you fail as well. This wasn’t my first time writing TC exams as I am a professional mariner who holds several TC certs. Nonetheless I would recommend the app for anyone looking to get a solid foundation.

Happy to hear you enjopyed the course! After you take the exam, please fill out the survey and let us know of any suggestions for improving the course.

Detailed Enjoyable Learning

Covers topics clearly and well laid out.

Updates not transparent

I am still in the process of going through the modules.
The course format is very well done.
However, I am puzzled about the occasional updates that are being downloaded when I get a pop up message regarding course content and questions updates: how do I know which has been changed? I can’t find anything in the menu that would direct me to information about uploaded amendments. I can’t believe I would have to go through each module again to try to find what has changed!

Response from developer

Thank you for taking the time to share feedback. If I understand correctly, your concern is that not knowing what has changed in a course update may affect your exam preparation. There are two kinds of changes we make (1) substantive course changes that do affect student preparation (adding brand new content or replacing incorrect content), (2) what I could best describe as "clerical/maintenance" changes to correct clerical errors, improve readability, and optimize images to reduce the course bundle side. We sometimes reorder activities within a lesson and lessons within the course, and add new questions based on feedback from test takers. We do communicate substantive changes to all of our users via e-mail. Fortunately, those changes are infrequent, in the order of 3-4 times per year (none since early June). Most updates are limited to clerical/maintenance changes that improve the course, but do not render the previous content incorrect. That said, your suggestion about including a list of changes with each update is a good one, and something that has been on our radar for future development. Based on the above, you may be wondering why the updates take so long to download given that they include only minor changes. When a course update is published, the downloaded bundle consists of the entire course, not just the changes. Incremental updates are something we have considered and likely will implement at some point. Again, thank you for your feedback. After you take the exam, we would appreciate feedback on any questions you come across that we should add to our app.

Great

This is a very well made app.
Everything is well thought and explained.
You have a lot to learn and this app helped me a lot in understanding what’s all about flying and regulations.
Didn’t finish all the stages and after a week I took the exam....the summer is so short in Canada .
I passed!!!!!
But I have to warn you that 70% of the questions that I had in the transport Canada exam didn’t appear in this app.
I was not lucky I guess.
Nothing about clouds,weather and stuff like that.
I had a lot of questions related to maps and on my iMac it was impossible to zoom....it was hard to understand something.
But overall I guess all the knowledge gained here helped me.
And this winter I’ll start preparing the advanced exam.
Thank you

Thank you for the feedback, and good to hear you passed the exam. Unfortunately Transport Canada has made passing the exam extremely difficult. Even airline pilots with over 30 years experience have reported failing the exam multiple times. If you have a moment, we would appreciate a quick follow up via email to let us know what we could have covered better, and any questions that you feel should be added to our question bank to help prepare future test takers.

Highly Recommended

If you are serious about passing the Transport Canada RPAS exam, this is the way to prepare for it efficiently. It’s a very well thought out and organized course with excellent diagrams and explanations.

You can go through each lesson at your own pace and pick up where you left off on any of your iOS devices, because your data is stored in the cloud.

You can take as many practice tests as you want until you feel confident enough to take the TC exam. It lets you focus on subjects that you are not very good on, so you can pull up you marks quickly.

I used this over the past two weeks and then took the Transport Canada exam yesterday with a mark of 94%.

It’s a pricey app, but well worth it for the time you’ll save.

RPAS Software - Great Product.

As a long time RC pilot with several hours of real flight training many years ago, I was looking forward to drone flying. This software really helped me as I wrote and passed the basic exam. I am a licensed ham operator and also have my marine and aeronautical radio licences, so I am interested in writing the advanced, and maybe doing some work. I am semi-retired from health care - your RPAS study app mades the process much easier. I also have the Drone app which is simply awesome. I certainly recommend this app to anyone who wants to learn everything to fly safely as a Basic or Advanced operator. There is a lot of material - especially for the advanced course, but it is user friendly and you will have ALL the appropriate reference material from the start. GHB.

Very useful information

Very useful information great app
Highly recommend.

So Far Looks Great!

Haven’t spent a lot of time in the app yet, but everything seems to be organized nicely so it is easy to navigate. There are a variety of lessons that look like they will prepare you well for taking the actual test. Before getting this app, I was pretty unsure where to find what I needed to study for taking the test. But now I have something excellent to work through to get me prepared. I’ve heard that the Advanced exam is very difficult, so I’m looking forward to working through this app and hopefully getting to the point very soon where I feel ready to take the exam. Overall, this app looks great, is highly organized, and is easy to use! Definitely recommend!
