Prepware Instrument Pilot app for iPhone and iPad

The simple layout of this app is why I made the purchase. At this price prepware is a steal. I use the full price software when I have time to study in front of a computer and I use the apps when I am at work or school taking a break. The main issue I have is that the test questions dont update often enough, however, if you study the questions and understand the concepts this will help you pass either way! Buy the app! It will help!

If you are serious about passing your written test, get this app.

With this update, things seem a bit cleaner, faster, and I cant make it crash even if I try! I have the CFI as well. Thank you ASA. Looking forward to future updates, and more aviation apps from you! Would love to have the CX-2 on my iphone, any plans for that?

UPDATE: New version is much improved. Works great on the iPad. Very happy with update I have been using the other instrument test prep which is pretty good, but has no explanations. I like the explanations, but have a few ideas for improvement: My intial thoughts- 1. Do not like the font - hard to read and a little small. Maybe could be a little fatter? 2. When you answer a question in study mode there should be a bold indication of right or wrong. As it is now the letters change colors from black to red or green. Very easy to miss, especially with the smallish font. 3. Would like a running tally of missed questions vs. total. As it is, you have to press grade and any question you have not answered is totalled as wrong. I usually have an extra few minutes and answer 10-20 questions, dont always have time to do 60 questions. The scan files are quick to load and easy to pan (charts and tables). Which is very nice. Otherwise looks pretty good. Look forward to some minor tweaks. Ill report back after a week of full useage.

Used this app to study and prepare for my instrument written (passed with a 90% score). Its nice to be able to choose blocks of questions on specific topics, but this app shines when it comes to taking complete practice tests. 4 stars because some practice test questions do not allow you to access the appropriate figure needed to answer the question (IIRC it was on the minimum rate of climb questions). I took many practice tests with this app right up until my check ride, and I really think keeping all the info fresh in my head made the oral portion of the test easier.

content excellent but the mechanics have some problems. The program shuffles the questions each time it starts so if you dont do the whole category (100+ questions) then it starts over in a new order. The program also restarts in test mode even though you were last in study mode. BUT many pluses if what younlike is compact content and a sound explanation of the right answer. Other than the problem above I would like to see a waynto skip questions which do not apply to my equipment. Good for a competency ride but not for the written.

This would be a really great app if it didnt crash halfway through a test everytime I tried to use it. Very frustrating to say the least. It would be a nice application but the crashes make it useless. Ill stick with my Gleim book.

I passed 20 practice exams with this app scoring in the mid 80s. Then sat for the real thing and most the questions Id never seen in my life. I failed.

It is almost impossible to see the correct answer in sunlight. Make the background red or green instead. There is a bug, quizzes becomes a test when the app has been inactive for a while. REALLY irritating. Cannot save quizzes or mark questions.

You will have buyers remorse on this one if you are really wanting to study for the written. No way to go back and study the ones you missed or marked. Some of the answers and questions are cut off and you have to guess at what comes next.

The new update smells... Cant go back when you open a figure...... Fix this soon please.

Great study app. HOWEVER, when using the "Study mode" if you leave and return and pick-up where you left off (extended time/a day or so) the software reverts to "Quiz Mode" and will not continue highlighting the correct answers; also the explanation link will be missing. Please correct this problem. I cant study all the questions in one sitting. Thank you.
