More leadership questions are needed. I believe there was only 7 and 4 of them had the same “what not to do” answers ### 4/5 — Fingers crossed, this is the year *2026-03-30, version 11.1.1* Great app. Love the audio portion and customization of tests. I’ve used this app for 3 years now to study. I used to pay for McMillian but got tired of paying $150+ for it. The only feedback I have is the EPR information needs to be updated to reflect EPBs. ### 5/5 — My concern *2025-04-26, version 10.3* I suggest to be more specific on how the content should be broadened to get more information because the test needs more information than this one we are reading. ### 5/5 — Great app *2025-03-24, version 10.3* Best out there! ### 5/5 — How come the app doesn’t have level comprehension A *2025-03-06, version 10.3* I love the app and I think it’s an amazing tool for promotion! Thank you so much. I am just confused on why it doesn’t have level comprehension A on the App like chapter 2 to 4 of the AF1 Handbook ### 4/5 — Missing Information *2025-02-19, version 10.1* Based off the 15 Feb 2025 release of AFH 1, it doesn’t go over the chapters 2,3,4,6,10,11,12,17,21,23 ### 4/5 — Missing and mislabeled chapters *2025-02-05, version 10.1* Love this app, however, the chapters are mislabeled or missing altogether. ### 4/5 — Just a suggestion *2024-10-10, version 9.5.4* Overall it’s great but I wish this app had highlighting features . ### 5/5 — Excellent *2024-08-23, version 9.5.4* First time Staff testing used this roughly 3/4 months prior to testing and made it with flying numbers. I 100% recommend. Best of luck ### 5/5 — Two Time Promotee *2024-07-23, version 9.5.4* Made E5 by nice amount and just made E6. No strat and made the cutoff by a good chunk. My time using this app has come to a close but it did its job and worth the investment for the ease of studying any time and any where. ### 4/5 — Great app.. please upgrade the text to speech *2024-07-09, version 9.5.4* Love the app but i have a long commute and would like to listen to the app read the material, but the voice they have is horrid and extremely difficult to listen to, its also very choppy and will cut off before the section actually ends. Its stuck in 2006. Need to do better with the voice section. ### 5/5 — Only studying material I use *2024-07-03* This is the only studying material I used for both E5 & E6 WAPS. Made E5 first time and E6 second, both with just a “promote”. This gives you all the material you need to succeed. Honestly, after both my tests, I wondered if I was “too” fast, but it came easy due to all the material on this app. It’s definitely worth the price tag, don’t even think twice about it! Can’t thank the team behind this enough! ### 5/5 — Most Reliable Study Tool!! *2024-06-17, version 9.5.4* Made 21E5 and 24E6 using ONLY this app. Scored 85 PFE both times testing. If you put in the work to study and take advantage of all the tools this app has, you will have a strong chance of promoting. No one is going to hand it to you, take the time and work for it. ### 5/5 — This App Will Get You Promoted *2024-06-12, version 9.5.4* I have purchased this app years ago as a senior airman and have made both staff and tech with it. The app updates itself every year to ensure the study guides are correct. If it wasn’t for this app, I would not have made Tech this year! ### 5/5 — Works for what it’s intended *2024-05-18, version 9.5.4* Really wish you guys could get those accessible on Windows ! - great study tool, condensed versions of the PDF ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Missing AFH History *2025-04-23, version 10.3* I was looking forward to starting to study for staff, but upon buying this, I realize that the reg has been changed and there is no Air Force history with the new DEI updates and changes for A,B, and C ### 1/5 — Has not helped me yet *2025-04-16, version 10.3* This app is okay but it’s not a great solo piece of study equipment. IMO this app works best combined with other methods. This app has not helped me make rank even when I studied consistently. ### 1/5 — Wouldn’t recommend *2025-03-18, version 10.3* Confusing to navigate. Too many useless features. ### 1/5 — Don’t waste your money!!! *2024-05-31, version 9.5.4* This app is a huge waste of money none of these questions will ever be on a test it’s all nonsense ### 1/5 — Don’t depend on this app! *2022-05-20, version 8.2* Just tested 05/17/22. You better read the study guide. It only has about 10% relative information. Wish I would have read all 500 pages and then used the app. ### 1/5 — Audiobook section is laughable *2022-04-19, version 8.2* Wanting to charge people extra for you to put a decent voice in the audiobook section is absolutely ridiculous. It’s already a $30 app (for free information) but the audio section took the cake. Also the voice doesn’t change when I changed it in the settings (which they state can be changed in their FAQs) ### 2/5 — duplicating questions *2024-02-06, version 9.5.2* not sure why but the app duplicates questions with completely wrong answers so far it’s been 2 categories kinda hard to study when it provides you the wrong answer ### 2/5 — Audio needs updating *2022-03-23, version 8.1.1* Decent slides but audiobook needs to be updated. It’s a robotic women who can’t even pronounce some words correctly and says the acronyms confusingly. Would be better if it was a person reading the audiobook ### 2/5 — Good but has issues *2018-06-08* The app is good. It’s smart it has all the stuff you need. However it could use some sort of game or something to keep your attention better would be nice. The issue however is the same one as mentioned before. At least for IOS in my experience. It doesn’t matter how you close the app. If you click the done button before you leave the app. If you leave the app any test that is in progress will not be able to be resumed from where you left off. It gives you an error stating “oops there were no questions in the subjects you selected” if they fix that it will be 4 stars because like I said it has nothing to keep your attention. ### 3/5 — 26E5 can not be opened on tablets *2026-01-24, version 11.1* Needs to be fixed ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great *2026-07-16, version 11.1.1* Used It, passed both Staff and Tech first time. ### 5/5 — HIGHLIGHTING *2026-06-29, version 11.1.1* Can you guys please add a feature that allows us to highlight as we are reading! PLEASE 😔 ### 5/5 — GET THE APP AND MAKE RANK *2026-06-26, version 11.1.1* This app is all you need for testing. Used it and got a 75 when I made Staff and a 68 when I made Tech. Either way I couldn’t have done it without this app. Get it if you’re serious about wanting to promote. ### 5/5 — No better study guide *2026-05-17, version 11.1.1* This app is awesome, well worth the price. Not only do you get all the information updated every year and test with algorithms to help you with the ones you miss the most by showing them more often but I really find the audio aspect useful and like how you can customize the speed and noise of the narrator. ### 5/5 — Great study material *2026-01-05, version 11.0* Great tool to get you ready to take your test. Definitely worth the money. Take 15-20 mins a day and spend time when you’re free reviewing the material and taking the test and it will set you up for success! All depends on you and your will to put in the time. Highly recommended. ### 5/5 — Missed questions *2025-11-23* I think it would be very beneficial that when the questions I answered wrong, and retake in the “Test missed questions” section, once I retake them, I would prefer they wouldn’t disappear and become part of the correct responses. In this way as I have moved on to other sections I can revisit them and retest on them to see if I really know the correct answer. ### 5/5 — Is there going to be an update ? *2025-11-15, version 10.3* I love this app, it helped me make E5. But with the WAPS catalog coming out for 26E6, is there going to be an update to the app to include the aviation history, usaf heritage, etc.? ### 5/5 — THANK YOU *2025-09-16, version 10.3* This app has helped me make E5 twice!! IFYKYK I’m going to test for E6 I plan on making it my first try! Thank you so much for making this app. 🙏🏽 ### 5/5 — E-5 and E-6 first try *2025-06-28* I was able to get E-5 and E-6 first try thanks to this app! Best advice I can offer: - listen to the audio of each section while you clean, play games, work out, etc. Although it sounds robotic it does get into your mind subconsciously. - take the test for each section, heart the ones you keep getting wrong, and have it set to not display the correct answer till the end. Seeing if you got it right or wrong immediately will make you frustrated and snowball into poor performance. - there’s 2k+ questions… don’t beat yourself up if you don’t get through all of them! Focus on the higher comprehension level if you’re short for study time. - do mini test every chance you get! 5-10 questions on everything you’ve read so far. When you get a break from shift, going to the bathroom, during lunch, right before bed. Get it where you can. YOU GOT THIS! Thank you PROmote for making an amazing study aid. ### 5/5 — Effective *2025-05-17, version 10.3* Mind numbing but helpful --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
