Unuseable audio feature locked behind an update following $20 upgrade.
I’ve used the Dauntless App for both Private and Instrument over the past year. Moving onto Commercial, I planned on continuing that pattern. This app is in need of significant upgrades. The app won’t pull from the update library. The audio feature will only download the sound files once updated. The update consistently fails both the normal update and the alternate update process, making the audio read back feature in accessible. I expect more from a $65 + $20 app.

Questions Not Current with TEST
While I passed the test, I didn’t even come close to the scores that I had in the Dauntless practice tests. I found that there were very few questions in the actual test that were found in the Dauntless Commercial test prep. While the software did prepare me to pass the test, I was shocked on how many questions were on the actual test that Dauntless did not prepare me to answer. I too found that support is extremely poor. I used Dauntless because it prepared me so well for my instrument rating, but that was years ago. If I were starting over, I would definitely procure the Sheppard Air product as it has a fresh and up to date database of questions and provides the same level of instruction as Dauntless.

“Actual FAA questions” Not 100% true
It’s a great software that I’ve used for both my Instrument and Commercial, but their quote of “Actual FAA questions” isn’t true. So if you’re looking to download and just memorize and not learn the content this isn’t the app, I would suggest you use the app to learn the concepts from each question because only 3 out of 100 questions on the test were on dauntless.

Not the best choice, Rude Company
Use Sheppard Air. I have used both and there is no comparison. Sheppard gets my students ready much faster and results in much higher test scores. Dauntless' staff is callous and difficult to access. They don't have a phone number to reach them with, and are generally slow to respond with an email. The opposite is true with Sheppard.

Great way to study
I have tried to use other applications to help me study for various FAA tests but they would have outdated questions or it would only be a final test and not help with the preparation of the test. I believe that the work that was put into this app but all the other apps that they have made is extremely well thought out and done in a fashion that makes it easy for the user to customize what they need to study for and what they are having trouble remember for the test. They also have amazing customer support for any questions that you have or any problems you have with the app. I would recommend this app to anyone who wants to study for an FAA test and be able to study anywhere at anytime.
