Not bad
Id say about maybe 50% the questions are in the real bank. 15% of questions are similar to real ones but still different. The rest are not on the test. But still a good study tool. For the price, I would still just say use Sheppard air instead.

Progress not saved and several other issues
- I have lost my study progress multiple times by now which is super frustrating if in the middle of a long section where I want to be sure I saw every question at least once I switch to another app and then back to this app and it sometimes jumps back to the main screen instead of the active study session with no “Resume” button, so progress is lost. Kicking the questions off for that question again will randomly mix them up even in study mode so I need to start from scratch. At the very least default to no mix-up of the study questions, and if some users want to study randomly then by all means give them that option as a setting. - Also, jumping back and forth between the questions and the reference material is quite awkward when there are several parameters to be kept in mind; there should be a better way of designing the app on the iPad. - The section with the explanation of the correct response is too small and oftentimes requires awkward scrolling even for short explanations. - Lastly, the graded quizzes are not being recorded so I can’t see my progress over time. Such functionality should be a given in any training software. The only reason this software gets two stars and not just one from me is that the questions are being kept up-to-date.

Borderline useless
You can’t mark questions, the second you exit out if the app it resets any progress you’ve made. Yes even the “save and exit” function does nothing at all. Whats the point of having an option there at all? Have you guys actually reviewed the functionality of this awful app? Please do not waste your money on this. The questions are completely outdated to, most will not appear on your FAA written. The only reason I have this is my joke of a ground school uses this question bank. $10 would have been better spent else where. Stick with sheppard air.
