### 4/5 — Thanks for the options.

*2024-09-02, version 4.0.0*

It’s nice to be able to choose from slides, audio, and video. All available offline. The app crashes every now and then.

### 3/5 — Needs Flashcards

*2024-08-14, version 4.0.0*

The website has flashcards and forum access. I think a link to the forum would go a long way, but what is absolutely necessary is the ability to go through the flash cards. If it had that, it would easily be 5/5. Otherwise it’s very stable, no usability issues. Courses have good material but the videos are sometimes dated and have old info in them.

### 3/5 — Works mostly

*2024-04-21, version 4.0.0*

Can watch vids offline which is nice. 4 problems. 1. Can’t do the quizzes 2. Doesn’t report progress 3. Would be nice to be able to cast the video (and watch on a smart TV) 4. Difficult to delete content, unless someone shows you. It’s under a different section, need to view all downloaded then you can delete.

### 4/5 — New update crashes lots

*2021-09-01, version 3.0.2*

Old version was much more stable. Video freezes. Program crashes daily

### 2/5 — Too old.

*2021-05-28, version 3.0.0*

informations are old. 
Too much informations that doesn’t need for paper exam. 
However . It’s a hard-working videos. 
It’s just too old.

### 2/5 — Airplay not available anymore

*2021-05-23, version 3.0.0*

This updated version of app doesn’t let you AirPlay the lessons on your TV anymore which is being a great bummer.

### 3/5 — Need more love

*2020-02-08, version 2.0.1*

1. Need to have speed of playback like on web version
2. Video quality is a disaster - add the possibility to choose it before download.
3. Add the possibility to download the slides as well.

Thanks

### 2/5 — Great idea, could be better

*2019-08-23, version 2.0.1*

Usability and reliability need work. Recently updated to 2.0  and have lost access to All previously downloaded videos. Always seems to glitch and log me out when I have no connection to log back in

### 3/5 — .

*2019-05-14, version 1.1.0*

👍 able to play videos without wifi
👎 cannot choose play speed
Not organized playlist

### 3/5 — Password

*2018-08-31, version 1.1.0*

- Have to keep logging in. No facial or fingerprint login available either.

- Videos are unorganized, need structure like website and categorized.

- Playback speed not available

- Thank god for being able to download for offline now, helps a lot for traveling and out of WiFi zones.

### 1/5 — Needs an update

*2023-05-13, version 4.0.0*

Won’t open on current iOS

### 1/5 — Stuck on loading screen

*2022-08-16, version 3.2.0*

The content is excellent, highly recommend their courses. However the app won’t load on iOS 15.6. After closing the app multiple times and restarting my phone, it still doesn’t work.

### 1/5 — App stopped working on my iPad. Just hangs on the opening screen. Hope they fix this bug soon!

*2022-07-16, version 3.2.0*

Hope they fix it. My iOS is up to date so no idea why it’s hanging now.

### 1/5 — Won’t open

*2022-05-21, version 3.2.0*

Stuck on the loading screen and won’t progress.

### 1/5 — Most videos are disable even though I purchased

*2021-06-12, version 3.0.0*

What a crock!!!

### 1/5 — Could have been great

*2020-05-10, version 2.0.1*

1. The quality of the videos is very low
2. When you compare between the videos and the slides, you can see that the videos are not up to date and present old and wrong information. It is extremely important to follow the slides and use the videos just for explanation. They should have updated the videos, it is literally the name of the app.
3. The app itself is designed poorly and not optimized to work on an iPad and even not on a smart phone.
4. No speed control on the iPad.

### 1/5 — No playback speed

*2020-03-12, version 2.0.1*

I normally love Harv’s air but there is no playback speed options. Normally I watch the videos at X2. The web version videos don’t work on IPad so this is very disappointing please fix

### 1/5 — Password

*2019-02-02, version 1.1.0*

I am away at work a week at a time with no internet connection. I rely on my downloaded videos to continue my training. Nothing makes me more upset than being stuck at the login page first thing Monday morning.

### 2/5 — After update will not load

*2022-11-10, version 4.0.0*

This app is really good but I can no longer access it just stays on the loading screen please fix

### 2/5 — Poorly designed app

*2021-06-02, version 3.0.0*

Content is fine but they obviously went really cheap on the app developer. Crashes and freezes a lot

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — Excellent explanations

*2024-11-20, version 4.0.0*

Very detailed oriented

### 5/5 — Easy to use.

*2024-08-30, version 4.0.0*

Great app. As an ATP pilot even I can figure out how it works! Pilots like simple.  Thank you for making an app that makes it uncomplicated to get to specific subject matter easily. I enjoy using the download feature where I’m able to view the content even when I don’t have an internet connection.

### 5/5 — Very nice app

*2023-12-01, version 4.0.0*

Very nice app. It helps me build my skills as a beginner pilot.

### 5/5 — Excellent ✨

*2023-08-16, version 4.0.0*

🌸💕✨🌷❤️

### 5/5 — Great tool

*2023-05-28, version 4.0.0*

I have used Pilotraining.ca to renew my instructor rating , It is easy to use and cover everything you need to know and more…

### 5/5 — iOS 16.1 (update)

*2022-11-10, version 4.0.0*

Since the last update, the app does not start on my iOS 16.1 iPad.

Update : I reinstall the app and now it works. Well worth 5 stars :-)

### 5/5 — Great App

*2022-09-05, version 3.2.0*

Prefer learning on a iPhone versus laptop. Streaming the videos to a TV works great. Much better learning environment when you are confortable

### 5/5 — Best ground school

*2022-05-25, version 3.2.0*

Aaron is the best !!!!

### 5/5 — Love the content, app could be better

*2022-02-07, version 3.1.3*

I LOVE the content. Thanks for making this app available. The biggest thing im missing is AirPlay. I'd also like a better way to filter what im interested it, like downloaded or starred. I'd also love to have the flash cards, which would be perfect on iPhone. Another thing I'd like would be a few random practice scenarios for the air exercices, like "engine fire!!", so I can tell out loud the emergency procedures, instead of relying on my wife who's already mad at me for starting my PPL in the first place.  But overall: a big thank you!!

### 5/5 — PPL

*2021-08-16, version 3.0.2*

This app has me excited to learn
