Prepware Commercial Pilot Reviews

back button missing

When viewing figures, unable to return to the question due to missing back button. Please fix, ASAP. Thanks.

This series of ASA prepware is extremely useful. ASA does a great job of providing learning materials for FAA exams both digitally and on paper. Unfortunately the FAA does an efficient job of ruining their own tests by having faulty questions. I just took an exam where the answer claims that the sum of all lifting forces are equal to the sum of all downward forces on a descending aircraft. Either the Administrators had better fix these filthy mistakes or I'm flat out wrong and should forfeit my Private certificate.

Helped me get a 99%

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.

It's avery basic app that is just a digital version of the written test prep book. There's learning mode and the exam mode. For the questions that require pictures (maps, images of RMI/VOR/etc) the resolution is good and readig them is relatively easy. In study mode the question are organize in categories. Annoying problem: more often than not, when app is exited with home button or interrupted by a phone call or push notification it loses the position in the study or exam and you have to start from the beginning. The "Save and Exit" function works, but I think it should do "save" after every "next" button press: it's doesn't add any delay and it makes sure your progress is not lost. I'd also add a function to change font size. The default font size is good and readable, but +-10% adjustments would be welcome. For "Explanations", I'd like to see not only what the correct answer is, but also why other answers are definitely wrong. Fix the progress loss after exiting the app!

Questions incomplete

I encountered a number of incomplete questions with missing graphics, incorrect spellings, incorrect answers e.g. that a beacon is REQUIRED for all operations, when the explanation refers to the AIM stating that a beacon is RECOMMENDED for all operations. How can you trust other questions and answers? Very poorly done ...

Just passed my test today!

I took the Commercial written exam today and passed easily by only using this app. Yes, there were about six of 100 questions on the actual exam that were not in this pool of questions. Although they were a surprise the other 94 questions were here to study from. Also the order of the answers are different in most cases. Again, not a big deal. I've used the Sporty's app for Private and Instrument but so far I like Prepware better other then you cannot go back to see your saved completed tests. Prepware is simple but works well.

So far so good.

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. :)

Good overall but wish there were more options

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.

Good product

Wylbur

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.

OK App

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
