FOI
Horrible way to learn, just shove all questions into a 270 question randomize folder. Not to mention the spelling and grammar errors. Really dropped the ball on this one. Would not recommend
Some answers are wrong or the explanation is wrong.
Questions about the inclination and HCL vs CF give wrong answers or the explanation is incorrect. One question says CF is greater in explanation but example answer figure clearly indicates a greater HCL.
No progress tracking/memory
No session/scoring trackig of any kind, you need to start over again and again and again if you get interrupted during a longer session, and you cannot exclude the questions you have already mastered no problem. Also, study mode should include a default option to only present the correct answer to a question, rather than multiple choices which are in obvious conflict with the basic learning principle of primacy and makes studying ineffective.

Do not use this for FOI.
If you are going to use this make sure you do what your supposed to and understand the material not just these questions.
None of the questions are up to date
Studied for the foi using this app and was surprised to see 3 questions I studied from this Prepware on the written. Do not use if you want to know what’s on the actual exam.
Not the same as the test
10 years ago when I took the commercial test, the questions and answers were identical to the test but recently when I took the cfi test after studying very hard for it on this app I took the test after scoring 100 at least five times on the app but when I took the test, the questions and answers were completely different for about 50% of the test in other words this app is pretty good, but I recommend for you to study the books as well.

Can’t see question number on iphone
I’ve used various asa test apps to study for all of my writtens. For whatever reason, the CFI study app on my iphone won’t show what question number I’m on which is a little frustrating. It would also be nice to do a mock test that pulls from all the subject areas but still allows you to see the answer without having to grade the test.

Great review app
Took my FIA Exam today, and passed, and owe a lot of credit to this app.
It’s simple, but thorough, explains concepts well. The database is a little out of date, as there were some new questions I hadn’t seen the concept before.

Study mode is pointless
Study mode should include a default option to only present the correct answer to a question, rather than multiple choices which are in obvious conflict with the basic learning principle of primacy and makes studying ineffective. It’s a fundamental and unnecessary shortcoming of this software.
I recommend other Apps/Websited
This is the worst tool you can use to prepare for the test. The only thing food about it is you don’t need internet while using it.
This is a tool not an easy button
I see a lot of bad reviews and the reality is that this is a supplement. You are studying to be a pilot so don’t be lazy and open your actual books! This is not meant to be stand alone study material. It is intended to give you an idea of what the test will look like and help you narrow down what areas you need to study more. I bought several of these apps back in 2016 and passed all my tests in the high 90s (private, instrument and commercial). I even recently used them to help me pass my tests for CFI and they did a great job of showing me areas that needed more attention after being out of school for several years.

Used ASA Prepware for FOI Exam
I recently took my CFI Fundamentals of Instruction exam after studying with the ASA Prepware App. The database ASA are using in 100% out of date. Not a single question that was presented in the CATS test was featured in the ASA app. I have never been so unprepared going into a written test as I have after using tihs software. The ASA database is in urgnet need of being updated to reflect the current FAA question bank.

No FOI question bank
Bought this specifically for FOI question bank. When I enter study mode it lists “0” questions for the FOI category despite the app description saying that the app covers it.
Solid test prep
This was my main source of test prep. I was very happy to see the questions on the actual FOI test were very similar to those practiced. While there were some that were different, or worded differently, the ideas were the same. Be sure to select FOI for the main menu as the FIA subject doesn’t have questions under FOI, that is something that should be changed, but it is there. Good luck!!

Overview
First of all, I’d like to reflect that the questions in the app were NOT exactly like the questions on the FAA written test. They were similar and contained the similar ideas, but were not identical, like the way it used to be (I took my last FAA written in 2012). Since the ideas were similar, it still helped me to pass with a score of 86%. But in the future, I would like to use the app that preferably uses the same exact questions for practice.
Also, like most here mention, the questions were not grouped by topic, but were all assembled into a single 271-question database, which was somewhat inconvenient.

OUT OF DATE FOI QUESTIONS.
All the questions I had in the actual exam were not listed in this app.
Good app
At first I couldn’t find FOI questions, but turns out they actually exist in the app, but they are accessible only as a separate rating. This is quite confusing.
Dark mode and FOI Catagories
Overall this is great it could use some updating and tweaks. First, the FOI really needs categories. Second, dark mode support is abysmal. If you have your iPad in dark mode you can barely see the fonts. I had to change my iPad back to light mode to use this app.
One question in FOI!! Please help!!
There is only one question in the FOI section. This must be a mistake but the app support button takes me to a confusing website. Please help me
