### 4/5 — Study guide

*2018-05-16*

Has been a great help in studying for exams. NPQ will be much easier due to the questions provided.

### 4/5 — Excellent for rookies

*2018-04-03*

This app is a must for the rookie fire fighter.  It also includes wildland firefighting.  I highly recommend this app.

### 2/5 — Needs more questions

*2016-10-13*

The app really only focuses on fire 1 and company officer training. Fire 2, driver operator and hazmat don't have that many questions in them. Better feedback and explanation of the question and the answer would be great as well

### 4/5 — Needs more questions

*2016-06-24*

The app is a great for a quick study. But if you're looking to use this app to study for a chapter it is definitely not enough. An average of 22 questions is not enough. My first chapter test for chapter one had more than the practice questions. Which in my opinion you should always have more practice questions than the actual test. Anyway, it has helped me memorize terms and is easy to use. 

Hopefully creator sees this and can add a few more questions in an update.

### 4/5 — Force closing

*2016-04-27*

This is a great app, especially for people going into the fire department. BUT this app has a few bugs and keeps force closing.

### 4/5 — Good app!

*2014-11-12*

I'm currently studying for my Firefighter 1 exams and I find myself using this app almost every day to study.  My only wish is a way to test on several chapters at once.  At the moment I can only select one at a time, but I would like to continuously build my study tests without having to go through and choosing each questions individually.

### 2/5 — Good idea

*2014-10-31, version 4.2*

Like the idea... Wish it had more questions. Not worth the 5 dollars

### 3/5 — Ok

*2014-03-12*

Questions were relevant to my study materials.  There are just not enough questions.  At times there are only 6-13 questions per section with only 10 sections.

### 4/5 — Good study app

*2013-12-03*

Great study guide. Many questions on here were on the firefighter one exam, it was very helpful to prepare for the test. Good for review as well. I only wish it would update with more questions to make the review a little broader.

### 5/5 — Fire academy

*2013-11-16, version 4.2*

Best study app
