The rest are not on the test. But still a good study tool. For the price, I would still just say use Sheppard air instead. ### 2/5 — I passed my written but no thanks to this app... *2019-06-14* I studied using this app for about two months before taking my written test today. About 40 percent of the questions were exact. The majority of the questions will give you an idea of what is actually on the FAA written, but the exact questions are different. To give an example, I was getting 90 percent and above all week using the practice test on the app, but on the actual written test, I scored a 72... ### 3/5 — Muy buena pero deberían mejorar algunas cosas *2019-02-23, version 1.49* Hay un error que cuando estoy en modo estudio y cierro la aplicación por cierto tiempo, al volver se pierde todo el progreso de la materia que estaba estudiando , arreglen eso por favor que en la anterior actualización no pasaba ### 3/5 — Good quiz app, but seems kinda broken *2018-10-27* Overall very good for quizzing and testing yourself. However, the “save quiz” feature seems completely useless. You also can’t skip between questions in a specific category. (ie. If there’s 100 aerodynamics questions, you just have to cycle through all of them randomly with no reference numbers) This app could use a bit of an upgrade for user-friendliness ### 3/5 — Not optimized for iPhone X *2018-08-23* It works on the iPhone X but app screen is smaller, it doesn't take advantage of iPhone full screen. I'll update this after checking the questions. ### 4/5 — Scored 85% on Commercial Rotorcraft Test Using Only ASA *2018-04-03* Today is March 3, 2018. Took my test today and passed with 85%. I answered correctly every question on the test that was similar to or word for word identical to ASAs question bank. Therefore, I'd say ASAs test bank is roughly 85% effective. This prepare did not cover dew point/lapse rate/VOR-HSI questions very well so I missed most of those. Overall this is worth the money. ### 2/5 — Progress not saved and several other issues *2018-01-18* - I have lost my study progress multiple times by now which is super frustrating if in the middle of a long section where I want to be sure I saw every question at least once I switch to another app and then back to this app and it sometimes jumps back to the main screen instead of the active study session with no “Resume” button, so progress is lost. Kicking the questions off for that question again will randomly mix them up even in study mode so I need to start from scratch. At the very least default to no mix-up of the study questions, and if some users want to study randomly then by all means give them that option as a setting. - Also, jumping back and forth between the questions and the reference material is quite awkward when there are several parameters to be kept in mind; there should be a better way of designing the app on the iPad. - The section with the explanation of the correct response is too small and oftentimes requires awkward scrolling even for short explanations. - Lastly, the graded quizzes are not being recorded so I can’t see my progress over time. Such functionality should be a given in any training software. The only reason this software gets two stars and not just one from me is that the questions are being kept up-to-date. ### 2/5 — Missing test questions.. *2017-04-14, version 1.45* I just took my commercial knowledge exam and luckily passed by a hair because I depended too much on this app. I used this app religiously as a study aid. I was getting consistently 90% and above on the practice tests on this app. To my unpleasant surprise today, the actual commercial airplane knowledge exam had many, many questions that are NOT covered by this app! I am so lucky I still passed albeit not by much. So just a warning to everyone preparing for their written... don't rely on just memorizing test questions! Good luck... ### 1/5 — Not good *2017-03-19, version 1.44* Terrible app - provides questions with limited explanation. Guess at the question then read the explanation. Not a good learning tool. Looking for a "textbook" style not let's guess at the question then read the explanation. ### 3/5 — OK App *2017-02-28, version 1.44* The questions are helpful. But there is no way to save the quiz or test results to go back later to review questions you missed. It says you can save and exit and there will be a resume button on the home screen. Not on my app ### 3/5 — Good overall but wish there were more options *2015-08-08, version 1.37* Build an option to save your test results so you can review with your CFI!!! Most CFI's require 3 consecutive test scores of 90% and higher before they will give you an endorsement to take the exam. I screen shot mine for proof, but it would be nice to save all three tests so the CFI can go over the missed questions with you. Add a search function so you can review missed questions from the FAA written like they have in the paper version of prepware. If these options were available I would pay $15-$20 per rating . This would be a 5 star app if these added options were included. I got an 86 on my written with 3 consecutive 90s on this app. You are not using all your resources if you fail to include this app in your pre written prep. ### 4/5 — So far so good. *2015-02-19, version 1.35* Works well. Great practice and prep tool. Andiminius: perhaps you went on to your commercial and learned that in a stabilized, un-accelerated flight condition, all forces are equal, regardless of being in a decent, climb, or level flight. Don't forfeit your license. :) ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Borderline useless *2024-01-18* You can’t mark questions, the second you exit out if the app it resets any progress you’ve made. Yes even the “save and exit” function does nothing at all. Whats the point of having an option there at all? Have you guys actually reviewed the functionality of this awful app? Please do not waste your money on this. The questions are completely outdated to, most will not appear on your FAA written. The only reason I have this is my joke of a ground school uses this question bank. $10 would have been better spent else where. Stick with sheppard air. ### 1/5 — Missing a bunch of information *2022-07-26* It does not have all the questions for the written exam. Some of the information is wrong according to Sheppard Air questions. I would not use this as you only study tool for the test. ### 1/5 — Good question bank, but useless app *2021-11-06* The bank of questions will be updated and is thorough. The app on the other hand is missing substantial features. Please implement a “favorites” tab. A place where “marked” questions will be collected across all sections until manually deleted. This would enable the user to study the questions that are important to him/her without having to search through every section. To bridge the lack of this feature, I had to do it cave man style. Screenshot the questions I struggled with and work through picture gallery afterwards. It would not be a lot of effort to creat that feature. ### 1/5 — Horrible *2021-11-05* Out of date, only 20% of the questions are from the actual test ### 1/5 — You get what you pay for. *2021-04-14* The app used to be decent when they told you the correct answer, now it marks questions as incorrect and gives you an explanation, but sometimes doesn’t explicitly state what answer is correct. I wouldn’t be using this app if my flight school didn’t base their tests on it. Complete waste of time. I’ve heard from a few people they didn’t see half of the questions from the written on ASA. Just go with dauntless, it’s more expensive but well worth the money. ### 1/5 — DO NOT PURCHASE!!!! *2019-06-12* Do not buy this app. I read every single question and studied for 3 weeks using this app for my commercial written test. I was super confident I was going to score in the high 90s. I ended up with a 73%. Very disappointed. Shepard Air is the way to go. It more expensive but well worth it. ### 1/5 — Out of date and not close to actual commercial Written!! *2019-05-02* Questions out of date, wrong answers. ### 1/5 — Inaccurate *2018-07-20* I studied all of the question in this software, got high scores on the simulated test, but the day of my commercial written I noticed that all of the questions were different! This is not up to date. ### 1/5 — Wrong Answer *2017-12-03, version 1.46* I try to take the test and there answer is wrong base what i learned & read in the jeppesen book. Specifically the question about spiraling slipstream with torque effect. The right answer would be left around vertical axis & left around longitudinal axis. ### 1/5 — Questions out of Date *2017-08-28* I just took my written today and passed with an 80%. The problem was that out of the 105 questions, the vast majority were not in ASA's app. I was easily scoring in the 90s on practice teats using the app. I risked failing because of ASA. I will never use ASA prep ware again. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Question may not be the same *2024-12-14* It might not be the exact same one as the written but it will be very similar and helps to see what you need to work on 100% recommend ### 5/5 — Prepware is the best cheapest resource that gets me all I need! *2021-04-23* Other review seems to be talking about how your study style works. I love this app because it has all of the questions I need and it divides them into manageable chunks that I can knock out in about 15-30 minute sessions. ### 5/5 — Finally ! *2020-10-07* Thank you so much for finally darkening the background. This just makes it a lot more comfortable to read through the questions ### 5/5 — Good product *2016-09-03, version 1.42* I have the books from ASA. I have a competing Windows product that requires Internet to function. This product allowed me to work on memorizing items needed for the written no matter where I was or if I had any connections. And it allowed me to run a practice test, but I needed the test supplement (which I have). I'm now signed off to schedule and take the real one, because of being able to study when I could (very busy person who is on-call). I couldn't do that w/ the competitor's product. ### 5/5 — Helped me get a 99% *2014-02-18, version 1.30* It did what its supposed to do...sure there were a few questions that were new...but they were of the same format, just different values. ### 5/5 — Great app! *2012-10-16, version 1.25* My university uses prepware for preparing us for our written exams, and the mobile version of prepare is a great alternative to having to sit at a desk. I can study for my test wherever I go. I used the instrument version to help me prepare for the written, and now the commercial is helping me prepare. ### 5/5 — Good one to study *2012-05-03, version 1.24* nice ### 5/5 — Muy útil *2011-04-08, version 1.2* Excelente APP mejoro cada día con estas preguntas. ### 4/5 — Good *2020-10-14* ASA always provides great information! ### 4/5 — App needs one more mode *2018-04-07* It would be nice if this app had a practice test that graded you on the fly. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
