Prepware Instrument Pilot

Dark mode breaks the look of the app with latest versions of iOS and iPadOS. Otherwise a great study tool.

I read all the reviews and was nervous because many people said this did not adequately prepare them for the written exam. I spent just one week on the app and when I took the test for the first time on September 26, 2019 I got 97%. The app does not have identical questions to the FAA test, and that’s okay. It’s not supposed to. You are supposed to learn how the systems work and know how to apply them to any situation. This app does a great job of giving examples, and if you actually study what you are supposed to learn, you will pass the test easily. The skill of being a good pilot is not about having wrote memory and just regurgitating answers from an app. Use this as a tool to become a good pilot and you’ll do fine on the test.

After taking about 50 practice exams with this program and scoring in the 80s-90s I felt very confident that I would do well on the written. Took the test today (Sep. 26 2019) and saw about three questions on the actual test that I saw in all the practice exams and study sessions. I squeaked by and passed but was really disappointed to see over 55 questions that I had never seen before. Very sad because ASA was key to passing my private written but i think I’ll be going with another software company from here out. Highly recommend you don’t use this app as your sole study source for the instrument written.

The private was on point, I recommend alternative means for instrument studying.

ASA is losing credibility having not updated such an important app for such a long time. Barely any questions on here filter through to the actual written!

Not one question from the ASA app for Instrument was on my written. I took the test April of 2019. ASA was great for private just not Instrument. After my test, I found all the questions from my written test in another test prep software. Some of my peers said all there questions were ASA questions so I guess it is look. Sheppard Air had about 500 additional study questions. I like the ASA app format better than Sheppard Air, but Sheppard Air has all the questions.

If you sit down and get focused this test prep will help you. Went to take my FII and IRA in the same day and passed both. Main studying came from the Prepware (outside of ground school). Great stuff and will be using for Commercial also!

This app’s questions are out-dated. I took my instrument written in November of 2018 and there were maybe only 5 questions from the ASA test prep on there. My buddies who studied from (a different well known company) said that all of their questions were pretty much the same. I’m pretty disappointed as I loved the ASA’s Private Pilot app, but I think from now on I’m going to switch to a different company to study from for my commercial.

It's strange to use on the iPhone xs Max because it can't fill the entire screen

Taking my test soon so I’m not sure how well it has actually prepared me yet. Complaints were made that it was out of date, seems there was an update after most of those reviews were written.
