### 1/5 — Out of date

*2026-01-24, version 3.1.4*

Unfortunately not sufficient for PPL - material is not enough and major areas missing from Air Law.

### 3/5 — A proofreader would help

*2025-08-10, version 3.1.4*

This is a really useful app for revision when preparing for the CAA ground exams. However, given that this is aimed at a British user base, the use of the word airplane (rather than aeroplane). and the American spelling ‘license’ as well as missing apostrophes everywhere detract from the authority of the app. This is not rocket science it just needs illiterate human to proofread it.

### 3/5 — Outdated Now

*2025-04-28, version 3.1.4*

As an FYI for anyone purchasing, this is now out of date and doesn’t represent any of the questions advised anymore.

### 5/5 — Great learning resource

*2024-10-08, version 3.1.4*

I just passed my last PPL exam and the ppl tutor app was a great help for me! I used it for each topic
I definitely recommend this app for anyone doing there ppl exams as they give explanations to each question answered incorrectly

### 4/5 — PPL Exams

*2023-07-25, version 2.9.2*

Good mock tests for the real thing but some questions have the incorrect answers for example… in Human Performance a question about oxygen levels in the atmosphere claims the answer is 0.21% when it is really about 20% but on the whole a good test of your knowledge and the amount of info for the obey is still good.

Fingers crossed for the real exams.

### 1/5 — The new update isn't useful

*2023-03-31, version 2.9.0*

Can you please return the last version of the app. The new update is not that useful because sometimes the answers turn up wrong by just 0.1 degrees. 

And the true and the false questions don't even exist in the actual CCA exams. 

The last version helped me a lot lot did pass my 8 exams by just reversing on it. 

Thank you

### 4/5 — Great app With Flaws

*2023-03-05, version 2.8.1*

I’ve found this app to be very helpful as a beginner and have gained a lot of knowledge from the revision sections. It covers a decent range of areas across the board from what i can make of as a novice.

The questions change as you progress and the algorithm updates as your pass rate increases.

However there are a few flaws that need to be addressed 

• There are questions that have two of the same correct answer but choosing one may result in an incorrect answer for eg 

(A) 1200z 

(B) 1200z

There are quite a few typos which make the questions confusing

At the end of the test the incorrect  answers you’ve made will display more info on the correct answer or topic this can lead to a dead end in a lot of questions as theres not always a clear explanation, which is why you should with out fail make sure to learn from your textbooks where all knowledge is sound.

Overall its a great confidence builder par the flaws. 

Price was reasonable for complete access. 

Recommend for beginners whilst simultaneously revising from a pooleys revision book.

### 3/5 — Helpful but needs updating

*2021-09-19, version 2.7.0*

I have been using the tool now for a few days and have found it to be helpful to revise knowledge I had from previous. However, the spelling could be improved.  Have found lots of grammatical errors which lead to unclear questions.  Also found some of the test answers I would challenge.  The ‘more info’ buttons after the mock exams at times don’t explain why they chose a particular answer.

### 3/5 — Impossible to register for an account

*2021-09-03, version 2.7.0*

Initial problems mostly addressed with use. Still can’t register. Same questions keep appearing frequently in comms section and some weird descriptions eg cirrus being described as tall clouds as opposed to high clouds! 
So useful, but with care and check answers where you are suspicious.

### 3/5 — Not updated

*2021-06-10, version 2.7.0*

This app is an useful tool but I wouldn’t rely on it only to pass the exams. It’s not updated for the new e-exams, passed my air law last week and hadn’t seen half the questions on there, managed to pass but take care to read the books or other resources which are up to date as the new e-exams have much larger question banks which you don’t see on this app or the others so it has become harder.
