## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Well out of date

*2023-11-03, version 0.1*

I should have read the reviews before I bought this. Well out of date and should be removed from the App Store.

### 1/5 — No replies to questions and no clear standard.

*2019-06-02, version 0.1*

It’s not being stated whether the app can be used for EU/UK or US tests. 
When asked, the devs never answered, either. 
Don’t waste your time or money.

### 2/5 — Out of date

*2021-09-13, version 0.1*

Sadly this app is out of date.

cancelling Mayday calls for example does not allow you to give full call sign followed by mayday cancellation.

### 2/5 — Out of date

*2018-07-22, version 0.1*

Nice app, but out of date with current radio procedures. Needs an update to match latest version of CAP 413. Can’t recommend anyone spends money on it until that’s done.

### 3/5 — This app is for the UK ppl.

*2022-09-02*

Still useful, but not perfect for Canada.

### 3/5 — Out of date but okay for general awareness of radio comms

*2021-02-28, version 0.1*

This app should really be updated to the current NATS requirements, however if you realise this and study the current CAP413, then it is still useful to practice call structure as a general principal. Sadly other more useful apps for the UK don’t exist at this time.

### 3/5 — Lots of variety but no sound

*2020-08-02, version 0.1*

The random situations are great for practicing correct voice procedure but these things can also be done well enough from books. This cries out for sound.  I want to hear ATC.  Not just read examples.  A big part of the learning curve is in getting your ears tuned in.  This app is good at what it does but deserves to be even better!

### 3/5 — Thinks it's not connected to internet

*2018-05-07, version 0.1*

I downloaded this a while ago and wanted to use it to brush up my radio skills for an exam this week. All the locked items e.g. Basic service call say "you need to be connected to the internet to unlock further subjects". I am on wifi and online this other apps. Tried on 3G. Tried remove and reinstall. Nothing seems to make it work. When I first launch the app it has an error "index.html Error: Setup failed" which I can press ok on to dismiss.

### 3/5 — Tony

*2017-04-27, version 0.1*

There are errors in some responses -e.g. Under mayday calls, to cancel the mayday you need to put in your full call sign but once you have done so, you lose the option to "cancel mayday" and are then marked incorrectly!
It would be great to have an audio option.

### 4/5 — Very useful

*2020-10-02, version 0.1*

This is a very useful app, I study in a big school and not many people , including instructors, knew about it.

It needs updating and has to be bug that I noticed that needs fixing too.

It helps you by filtering all the content from both CAP413 and communications, leaving you with most of the content they ask in the radio exam, thus, it saves time and it focuses your effort on the right parts.

## Most praised reviews (4 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — Great app

*2019-02-04, version 0.1*

Helps to practice calls over and over. 
Could keep you safe in the air and reduce work load in the cockpit once confident and focus more on flying.

### 5/5 — Chocks Off

*2018-09-08, version 0.1*

The app looks rough and dated, however the format is easy to use and the 5 STAR feature is how it marks your performance. What you have done correctly is featured, alongside what needs corrected, how you can correct it and why you need to do to it a certain way.
Well done El Capitán!

### 4/5 — Very useful app

*2020-02-22, version 0.1*

Very useful app to get up to speed with your radio calls whilst studying for your PPL. It is a little out-dated and there is at least one bug that needs fixing (when practicing mayday calls after a correctly formatted call, you cannot cancel the mayday call appropriately as you have no option to cancel after you have stated your call sign).

### 4/5 — Outdated but worth the money

*2018-11-24, version 0.1*

The app is old and outdated but super easy to use- content is decent but whole app needs a refresh
