Absolute garbage

This app is what’s wrong with humanity. The creators of this app have absolutely ZERO self respect and ZERO respect for the poor suckers who spend 5 cents on it. Let alone $100. Which they have the audacity to attempt to extract from people for this steaming pile of scat!!!

It’s like some kind of terribly executed knock off of someone else’s respectable app!

If the developers turned this in as a finished project for grading at a university, they would NOT pass the class and the teacher would be extremely embarrassed that they had the audacity to even turn it in. Any self respecting person would burry this in the back yard and say the dog ate it.

That’s what makes this such an atrocity! They KNOW it’s a living lie! They KNOW it’s garbage and they couldn’t give a heck less because another idiot rolls in every day, buying the app, only to find out afterward that they’ve been duped!

And what’s worse!? The poor shmuck who actually thinks that they are learning something accurate and useful here! God have mercy on them when they step in front of an actual professional and claim to know something about programming PLC’s!!!

Just wow! Only human filth would continue to allow this to exist and continue to profit from others misfortune.

We are sorry that your experience was not positive. We want to clarify that the app has been designed by professionals with experience in industrial automation, and many users have gained real value from it, as can be seen in other reviews. That said, we understand that not all content meets every user's expectations. However, your comment does not point to any specific technical issue (functionality, content, errors, scope, etc.), which prevents us from identifying which specific aspect you consider incorrect or improvable. If there was something specific that did not meet your expectations, we invite you to describe it technically so that we can review it. We also remind you that if the product does not meet your expectations, you can request the corresponding refund through the platform. We are open to receiving constructive criticism that allows us to improve, but it is necessary to provide specific facts and not general disparagement. We remain attentive to any specific technical observations you wish to share.

Poor training

I made it through 2 training lessons before I had to stop. The narrator has a monotone voice, the mic is far too close to his mouth and I can hear him gulping when he swallows his drink

He references items that do not appear on the screen, regularly says here look at this but the viewer is unable to see what he is indicating.

Hi, thanks for your honest feedback. We’re truly sorry the initial experience wasn’t great for you. We’re currently re-recording the entire course content with better audio, clearer explanations, and higher production quality. It’s a massive effort, but with your support and a positive rating, we’ll get there much faster. We genuinely hope you'll consider giving the app another try in a few weeks — we’re confident the improvements will speak for themselves. Thanks for being part of our growth!

Falta de contenido

Prometen 500 exámenes interactivos y muchas cosas a las que no estan, los modulos son muy cortos!

0 stars

support page does not work. got lifetime license and the app still wants to sell access. astonishing that apple did give Ok for this app to get into the store. Should be 0 stars, also for apples app store.

Absolut unbrauchbar

Die GUI ist dermaßen schlecht und unbrauchbar. Unfassbar wie schlecht das alles zusammen gebastelt ist. Höhepunkt ist die Simulation. Das hat absolut nichts mit dem TIAP zu tun. NULL hat das auch nur annähernd etwas mit dem richtigen Siemens am Ende zu tun. Weder Aussehen noch sonst was

Schlecht

Vermutlich KI generiert. Auflösung passt nicht. Im allgemeinen schlecht.

In its current state it’s not worth the fee and should be free.

The app shouldn’t have a fee in its current state. It has potential to be very informative and engaging but it’s not even close to being there yet. So you will play almost a game trail and the first is lessons like very basic introductions to Automation or Allen Bradley or Siemens and it is very basic level introductions like ones you can find on a YouTube video that’s 6 minutes long. After taking those first courses you can move onto the quizzes which will then reward you when you finish. Some of the questions on those quizzes weren’t even covered in the lessons and one of them repeated. I hope they continue to develop the app into something better than it is because for the $11+ I spent I feel scammed.

Terrible

While this app showcases the power of AI, it seems like the developers relied too heavily on automation without taking the necessary time to review or refine the content. Many features feel generic, impersonal, and at times inconsistent, making it clear that AI-generated content was not properly vetted.

AI is a great tool, but without thoughtful oversight and human intervention, the user experience suffers. It’s frustrating when content lacks polish or relevance because it hasn’t been reviewed for accuracy or coherence. This is especially disappointing when the app otherwise has potential.

For the next version, I strongly recommend the developers balance AI usage with thorough content reviews. Adding a human touch could turn this app from a clunky, overly automated tool into something truly useful and engaging. AI can be powerful, but it’s only as effective as the thought and care put into how it’s implemented.

Looks promising

I like this app, it looks great. Unfortunately I came to a “ test” that does not contain the correct answers preventing me from continuing.

No sound from tutorials videos

Paid for the subscription and not to have sound playing from the video lessons . Pretty disappointing the course looked interesting.
