This is a phenomenon of the latest version whereas the frequent log outs have been happening with previous versions too. The app rolls back to a distanced past chapter with every crash and log out. Quite annoying albeit the books and content itself is fantastic. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Good material but terrible app. Truly awful *2025-04-18, version 1.1.3* The material is good and tells you everything you need but the app is the most infuriating and badly designed I have ever used. It logs you out every 15-45 minutes no matter what your doing, even if your in the middle of one of their built in tests. Just go with a different provider and buy books, they’re much easier to use and just as good material ### 1/5 — Bugs *2025-03-07* Impossible de maintenir une session plus de 10 minutes, l’application se déconnecte en pleine lecture. La dernière page de lecture en constamment perdue… ### 1/5 — Session Expires *2025-02-21, version 1.1.2* Recent update seems to require a new login every hour or so. You can literally be flicking a page over and the session will ‘expire’. Don’t remember this being an issue before 2025. Go back to the old active user logic!! ### 1/5 — Good content but frequent interruptions and unavailability due to very poor app *2025-02-16, version 1.1.1* Downloaded books for offline viewing while travelling but session is often terminated within a few hours of logging in. major blocker when internet unavailable. App constantly crashing. Amateur implementation, very dissatisfied - would suggest you hire a professional to review the app + review your logic on how sessions are stored and terminated locally if you are advertising offline availability. ### 1/5 — The inactivity timer *2025-02-13* The books are awesome and the material is incredible. The reader in the other hand is awful. Constant session expiration, the inactivity timer is an absurd idea. I am in class or studying an I constantly get logged out because of inactivity. It severely affects the flow of studying and distract a lot. I have some trouble focusing, specially when studying air law or operational procedures an this function just destroys all focus I gather every 5 to 10 minutes ### 1/5 — Unnecessary *2025-02-13, version 1.1.1* Crashes constantly. Unnecessary downloads despite the requirement to be online to login defeats the purpose of a download. Constantly logs you out. ### 1/5 — Unusable *2025-02-01* The material itself is good but the app is simply unusable. Constant crashes, bugs, very slow and unresponsive and the app still can’t remember the last page you were at. The current state of the app is disgraceful! ### 2/5 — . *2026-04-19* Der Inhalt ist mega gut, es macht richtig spaß das Buch zu lesen. Was aber ein wesentliches Problem ist, ist die Programmierung der App. Seit kurzer Zeit kann ich die Videos nicht mehr anschauen, habe darauf die App neu installiert um das Problem eventuell zu beheben, es wurde jedoch schlimmer. Nun kann ich bestimmte Bücher nicht mehr runterladen, weil ich sie angeblich auf zu vielen Geräten schon heruntergeladen habe obwohl ich es nur auf dem iPad nutze. Dazu kann man nicht vernünftig im Buch markieren. ### 2/5 — No exams or trial quizzes *2026-03-03* Instructions shows there will be an unrecorded quick quizzes every end of chapter to test your own understanding in each chapter but there is nothing. ### 2/5 — Unoptimized *2025-02-06* The app drains the battery way to quickly and consistently crashes ## Most praised reviews (7 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great interactive resource *2025-11-15, version 1.1.4* I’ve been on the app for a week and so far I’ve had no problems, unlike the other reviews, I’ve not been logged out at all unless using it on another device, so they must have fixed this in an update? On the whole, its a great learning resource for the ATPL’s and I particularly enjoy the interactive functions and progress quizzes. ### 5/5 — Nach letztem Update läuft alles *2025-02-10* Nachdem ich die App deinstalliert und wieder neu heruntergeladen habe, funktioniert Padpilot einwandfrei. Davor ist die App regelmäßig abgestürzt. ### 4/5 — Tut was die App soll *2026-04-15* Tatsächlich ist die App sehr praktisch. Alle Bücher an einem Ort, schneller Zugriff und due App läuft sehr flüssig und stabil. Macht das gesamte Lernen sehr sehe angenehmer, als im Web! Einziges was Optimierung bedarf, ist der Akkuverbauch der sehr hoch ist. ### 4/5 — Bonne appli *2025-02-06* grâce à la nouvelle mise à jour, l’appli est plus stable et lorsque l’on rouvre un livre, il s’ouvre maintenant à la dernière page consultée, c’est le top ! ### 3/5 — Dark mode much needed! *2026-01-18* App is decent overall. A dark mode would increase the experience by a landslide though! ### 3/5 — Videos have no sound *2024-11-17* The App itself is alright. Sadly the videos have no sound. (iPad) ### 2/5 — Loads of bugs on iPad *2025-02-06, version 1.1.1* Books keep on getting deleted on their own even if I’m using them frequently, the app keeps on crashing, bookmarks were only added recently. Very annoying if you’re trying to keep up in class. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
