### 5/5 — This App is amazing, and issues resolved

*2020-06-08*

This app is almost perfect and I highly recommend it. It’s great to use with a friend who can quiz you and make sure you can answer the questions orally for the checkride. 

Issues I’ve had is it seemed to go blank recently but after reaching out to the team I got a swift response with how to fix this problem:

Just go to Settings - Display and Brightness - and verify Appearance is set to LIGHT and Automatic is not enabled

Thanks again for the great content, I’ve purchased the instrument version as well and will continue to suggest your product!

### 1/5 — App frozen

*2020-06-06*

App froze shortly after I purchased all subjects for $30 nobody to contact or fix very disappointing

**Developer response:** Basem, there is an issue with "Dark" mode in iOS 13 which caused the text font color to match background color. In Settings -> Display & Brightness, in the Appearance section at the top, please select "Light" and turn off Automatic. This will resolve the issue. An update to the app is in process which will correct this issue. Thank you for bringing this to our attention.

### 1/5 — Fraud-NOT FREE

*2020-04-10*

There are only 3 categories of questions that are free!

### 1/5 — Free your funny

*2019-08-06*

If your gonna make the app free then make it free don’t make us pay to use it the questions you give us free I can find anywhere for free

### 2/5 — Ok, poorly put together, and wrong answers

*2017-09-02*

OK app. The questions are OK. Some are wrong. I like that it let's you mark learned and unlearned questions. Lots of spelling mistakes. Interphase a bit clumsy.

### 5/5 — Outstanding material

*2016-08-23*

This app has been an amazing source of information to help me pass my PPL oral exam. There is so much new information for me to learn, since I didn't study aeronautics in college, and this app put the necessary info in neat, clean categories. I have also used the Jeppesen books in conjunction with my study on this app, for further learning and explanation of key concepts.
