No session/scoring trackig of any kind, you need to start over again and again and again if you get interrupted during a longer session, and you cannot exclude the questions you have already mastered no problem. Also, study mode should include a default option to only present the correct answer to a question, rather than multiple choices which are in obvious conflict with the basic learning principle of primacy and makes studying ineffective.

I see a lot of bad reviews and the reality is that this is a supplement. You are studying to be a pilot so don’t be lazy and open your actual books! This is not meant to be stand alone study material. It is intended to give you an idea of what the test will look like and help you narrow down what areas you need to study more. I bought several of these apps back in 2016 and passed all my tests in the high 90s (private, instrument and commercial). I even recently used them to help me pass my tests for CFI and they did a great job of showing me areas that needed more attention after being out of school for several years.

First of all, I’d like to reflect that the questions in the app were NOT exactly like the questions on the FAA written test. They were similar and contained the similar ideas, but were not identical, like the way it used to be (I took my last FAA written in 2012). Since the ideas were similar, it still helped me to pass with a score of 86%. But in the future, I would like to use the app that preferably uses the same exact questions for practice. Also, like most here mention, the questions were not grouped by topic, but were all assembled into a single 271-question database, which was somewhat inconvenient.
