Airframe studying done
Jul 3, 2019 I have the App and the three written test study guides for A&P. The Airframe book and the App were spot on for questions. And I have been getting in the 90’s for my practice test with my study method. As I began the Powerplant though there is a definite difference in the number of questions between the first three chapters in the book (Recip, Turbine Engines and Engine Instrument Sys) vs. what App is showing me. I stopped comparing at that point due to the moderate difference in the questions and sent an email to ASA tech support to seek some assistance. But, aside from the Powerplant my experience has been great so far. Have not studied General yet. Will update rating based on level of support I receive or start a new rating all together based solely off of support. TBD. Update: the support was excellent. Definitely recommend the App.more -
Great for on the go studying
Jan 22, 2020 I’m currently taking my airframe written test and there are some questions that are not in the app but if asa would like the questions I would give them to you. a friend of mine went to bakers and they gave a printout of new questions and they are in their book as well just a heads up I have asa books bakers, and the app just to try to make sure I have full coverage now but it would be nice to have all the questions on the app since it’s the easiest for me to usemore -
Dec 30, 2020 The app is nice and easy, but I wish in the test mode all the answers are highlighted so is will be very easy to read -
A&P
Jul 11, 2018 Please study the prepware you will not pass without it. If your taking your airframe writtens now you will not have a problem passing because its mostly word for word with just 10 new questions added on my test. Beware of the general as it is alot harder now. 20 out of 61 questions for my test were brand new and another 10 questions are prepware questions just worded differently, so read the whole question carefully. I still passed but you really need to know your stuff for the general.more -
Mar 23, 2019 Great app. Among the 3 A&P tests Power plant was the hardest for me so I'd suggest you spend 1 entire week (minimum) of multiple hours each day memorizing these questions. I didn't notice any questions on the test that weren't in this study app as was the case with the airframe test. Good luck testing!more

New update is horrible
Oct 8, 2020 Used to be smooth functioning, it would tell you both the wrong and correct answer when you answered a question, now, if you get it wrong, it marks it wrong (obviously) but it then doesn’t tell you what the correct answer is. I used to be a great tool to find the answers to the questions and made studying easier, but this new update has completely ruined that, and has now actually made things more difficult and confusing. It wasn’t until I randomly checked an answer on a different source to find that after the grading, the answer was still marked wrong and didn’t show the correct one. Using this app now adds more wasted time to make the app work for you. Hopefully this gets fixed very very soon or I will have to quit recommending this app to other people. Can it still be used? Of course. But is it still the valuable tool for learning it was before this last update? Hell no. Fix this please!!!!!more -
Feb 15, 2020 The mobile app leaves so much to desire for. It sounds like the PC version has all the nice features. I just wished they would pass it on the the app. Additionally, the Android version is more expensive than the app for iPhones, and you have to pay amd download the General, Airframe, and PP separately. What gives?more -
Aug 25, 2019 Installed a few years ago and dissapeared. Tried reinstalling and it will not install. Need refund. -
Jan 31, 2020 I bought it but it can't be opened, I event contact Google about but they didn't respond, please fix it -
Gleim aviation is far better, you get what you pay for
Jan 15, 2021 This app is SERIOUSLY annoying me. I take a test and should get well in the 90's, but multiple questions are wrong because ASA themselves have the correct answers as wrong answers. I'm done with this and moving to Gleim, at least until it's fixed. It's literally the devs ONLY job to build their app well, and in something that matters as much as earning your A&P license, just like working on aircraft, mistakes are and can be deadly. Do yourself a favor and purchase Gleim written study guides, you won't regret it.more

Great App
Jun 30, 2018 Appreciate this app heavily. Has contributed to my career as an AMT in many ways. However, my main concern in relation to this app is that questions are extremely outdated and some are irrelevant or completely incorrect in reference to aviation right now. Also, please update the app to provide secondary testing questions to reinforce what I just went over while studying. Gave this app 5 stars as a reflection of what it currently is and based off what it has provided to me.more -
I would not even consider another app
Jan 26, 2019 This app is the holy grail for anyone serious about passing their test and that is on the clock. I have a family of my own and 2 jobs, and just studying through this app, pushed me to pass all my written exams at once back to back one week apart from each other. Best luck out there. Good A&Ps are disappearing and the exams are getting harder. Prepware will give you the edge you need to succeed at it.more -
Oct 29, 2018 Great product. Incredibly helpful. Wish it updated as fast as the Apple version of the app.

Start Button problem
Oct 8, 2019 It’s a great app but the only thing that stinks is when you’re in the middle of a test and save and exit to come back in a bit and accidentally press start it doesn’t ask you are you sure you want to start a new test. I was at 52 of 100 and pressed save and exit and swiped up to open the phone menu where the flashlight is and the app thought I pressed start.more -
It’s very helpful but has not been updated since 2017. Beware when taking FAA written
May 1, 2020 This is a great app very helpful in studying and learning the subjects. I found out that this app has “not been updated since 2017”. The FAA has added way more questions and it’s not very helpful to the person who buys this app knowing it’s not up to date. Don’t completely rely on app, yes a lot of these questions will be on test but a lot won’t.more -
Great app just passed airframe and general.
Jun 7, 2019 This is the best app to use for the written test. I just wish the developer would add a missed question test after you take a test or after the study quizzes. Also it would be awesome when you finish it would break Down what questions you missed from each section so you can focus on your weak points. If they would add these features I would give a 5 star.more

Dec 11, 2018 This version is out of date. Current version should be 1.49.1. It is missing a lot of current questions asked on the FAA exams. This needs to be fixed. -
Jun 8, 2019 great app. but recently FAA has put new questions on the written test so just careful what you study until the app is updated.

Jan 8, 2019 This version is out of date. Please update. would have gave a higher score if it was. I can not use this if it out of date. I have to use the one on the computer when i would rather use this one. -
Apr 7, 2021 Prepware doesn't hold a candle to Dauntless. Failed my General because I only used Prepware.
