### 5/5 — Amazing Customer Service

*2026-06-24, version 3.47.0*

I don’t know how big this group is but I had a problem and they fixed it ASAP. Buy *all their things*.

### 5/5 — It’s good

*2026-03-19, version 3.36.0*

It’s good

### 3/5 — Marginal

*2026-02-22, version 3.35.0*

Can’t seem to open the app without it having to again update… like every time… I’m a developer, never used an app that constantly has to be updated… so annoying

### 5/5 — PPL prep

*2025-11-20, version 3.31.0*

Very thorough course gives good foundation. Great graphics. Easy to follow.

### 5/5 — Must have before the test

*2025-10-07, version 3.31.0*

This app helped me so much at getting ready for the PPL written test. A MUST!!
Super clever design.

### 5/5 — Helped me pass the FAA exam

*2025-09-21, version 3.31.0*

After going through this class I sat the private pilot FAA exam and got a 98%. Highly recommended online class.

### 5/5 — Thank you

*2025-08-16*

The app is great in that it always keeps the status of the question I'm studying in case I accidentally exit. With my experience studying a lot of apps, I think you should add more. 
1 is to add sound when choosing the correct answer to stimulate learning, making it less quiet and boring. 
2. I see that there are many sentences missing in the book even though I have registered as a member and paid. 
3. You should have a separate guide for each chapter and a 50-question practice test selected by chapter. 
btw lsf thank you very much for helping me.

**Developer response:** Thanks for the detailed feedback, and please reach out to us directly for assistance with your technical issues if they are still occurring. We’ll look into adding optional sound effects for answer selections, as well as your suggestion about a chapter guide.

### 2/5 — It’s ok.  But just ok.

*2025-07-28, version 3.25.0*

It’s got a lot of content.  The questions seem to be the same set that everyone else has.  I had to supplement this with YouTube videos, flash cards, and the PHAK.  The cartoon emojis that show up on the quiz questions are a bit juvenile.  Lastly, their content reporting mechanism is completely worthless.  You try and report ambiguities or mistakes and they automatically reject it.  There are better courses out there.

### 5/5 — Clutch

*2025-02-05*

Thank you so very much for creating this app!!! I have used it to study an ungodly amount of times… the practice exams are so realistic and the fact they provide the FARs and AIMs in the explanations just makes it that much easier to slide into preparation for the oral exam.  Wouldn’t have succeeded without this

**Developer response:** Thank you for your kind words. We’re glad to hear that the app has been such a valuable tool in your studies and exam preparation. Making the practice exams as realistic as possible and integrating the FARs and AIMs into explanations were priorities for us, so it’s great to know they helped you succeed. Congratulations on your achievement, and we appreciate you taking the time to share your experience.

### 5/5 — Gggfly

*2024-12-17, version 3.3.1*

Excellent!
