Questions don’t show

The app used to work fine and was good for studying. However no matter how many times I reinstall, the questions never show up and every category is blank. Wish they would fix this

Great for Private Pilot Practical / Checkride Oral Exam Prep

Excellent prep tool for the Private Pilot Practical Oral Exam. References the ACS and FAR/AIM.

Study the ACS (start with the appendix), FAR/AIM and this flash card app to do well on the oral portion of your private pilot practical exam (aka check-ride).

Adding spaced repetition and other features would make this even better.

Font Size option

Please add an option to change the font size!!!

Needs a random quiz feature

This is a great resource but I don’t want to tap left or right through 50 pages of questions to get through to more challenging questions. Please create either a shuffle feature or a way to randomize questions to make studying more interesting and challenging

13th edition

When will the app be updated to reflect the latest edition?

Good for preparation

It’s a good app that helps a lot to prepare for your check-ride.
The questions cover everything you may get by your examiner.
However don’t only rely on it to prepare, have your manuals ready to read...
would be better with more frequent update.

Disappointed!!

App has great subject matter, but it does this horrible thing where it randomly clears out the ‘marked’ questions, not allowing you to review any questions you need to study

iOS 11 not working

Needs update

This is not how people study....

People who made the app needs understand the needs of people who are studying.... the whole app is no more then just flash cards, in stead of books with interactive function such as highlight, note and write footnote.

Great app, please update!

It's a great app. Wish it was updated so that the pages match the newest edition of the book (some pages are missing here, I believe this app is based on the older book).

Please update

Please update so it will work with future iOSs.

Helpful

This was helpful in getting my PPL. I studied using this app months in advance before the check ride. Explanations are ok but the majority of the time I found myself searching outside the app for information to augment understanding.
When your at that point of not knowing what to study for, use this app because it is a good source of questions.

Meh.

This is a straight port from the book to an app.
While it's handy to have on my phone and hides the answers (flash card style), they could have spent more than 10 minutes importing the data into the app.
For example, there is a question asking to "define the following" that has no data. Te book has it broken down this way too, but it makes sense in a book and not in the app.
They could have randomized the questions too. It's EXACTLY the same order as the book.

So useful for checkride oral exam prep

I'd give it 5 stars except that some of the questions don't populate properly and there are other minor careless errors. Overall, worth the money for me.

Great app!

This app has so far been a great study tool for those like me that are intimidated by physical books. I have the ASA private oral exam guide (book) as well as this app and have been comparing the two side by side. The outcome: the app is just like the book and a great way to stop yourself from cheating by looking at the answer before you read the question. The only flaw I have found thus far half way through is that on a few of the questions the full answer does not exist as printed in the book for example, chapter 4, question 1 asked what the four control surfaces are and there functions.. The book lists all four as ailerons,elevator,rudder,and trim tabs. However this app leaves out trim tabs. Other than that a great study aid and well worth it!

Buy this app!

ASA sets the standard in practical test oral preparation books. This app is like having a CFI quiz you. ASA needs to make apps for Instrument, Commercial, and Multi-engine as well, I'd buy those also!

Would. We good if stopped crashing

I like this app, except 2 chapters keep crashing making this useless, because I can't review them

Nice app

Very cool app it really works for studying to the checkride and oral exam maybe you can make the checkride for instrument and commercial its gonna be very interesting.

Too few questions

I got this and the dauntless rideready private pilot check ride app. Tthis Asa app just had too few questions to be useful. It appears to be a generic copy of their rather thin booklet. The dauntless app was well worth it as that one has about 4 times the number of questions and the illustrated content is much much better. Don't waste your money on this app. Also, the content of this Asa app is old. Modern avionics and rule changes are barely covered. Really, this app is a waste.

ASA TEST APP

I thought it would be multiple choice but it's not. It just gives you a paragraph of the answer. If you memorize it then you'll be prepared but not worth $10. Just buy the book.
