Remote Pilot Ground School 4+

Great Part 107 Prep course

I recently took and passed the FAA Part 107 Exam using this course as my study material. I was able to review all of the pertinent material in the course and then took several practice exams to get ready. After a few exams I used the cool feature that showed me my weak areas and went back to review and made up an exams of all the questions on those categories. By a couple days before my exam I could routinely score 93-97 on the practice exams. When I took my test I got an 88. There were probably 10ish questions that were nothing like the practice tests, but the material was in their course. Same for the questions I missed, I was able to go back and find the answers to everyone of them in the study guide. I like that this was cheaper than an online or in person instructor led course, and with it on my iPhone and iPad I could review it anytime I wanted. Highly recommend this app if you’re planning on taking the UAG/107 exam.

It’s ok, not great

Half of the questions that are asked in this app by the time you get to them are not covered in the previous material you just go over. Also, when you miss a questions the explanations are not well written and most of the time are very hard to digest. A lot of acronyms are used without any explanation as to what they are unless you already have a working knowledge of weather. For $50, the explanations should have been written in far better laymen’s terms to be understandable. Also, in the very beginning before even purchasing this application I sent a question to the developer of the app and specifically mentioned “ground school” and Ed sent me an email back saying he didn’t know what application I was referring to. I replied that they only have one application that they have developed that has the words ground school in it and asked if he was going to answer my question. I never received a reply. Shame on me for going ahead and purchasing the app especially after being brushed off by their “support”. Look for another app unless you already have a working knowledge of weather and flight terminology.

Developer Response ,

Your email stated, "How long have y’all had this app? Also, why can I only see 8 reviews in the App Store instead all 89 of them? Do you have any data on how people who have passed the exam after using the app?"

Your email did not state which app or course you were inquiring about.

When we responded asking for clarification, you replied, "What the heck??? Seriously??? You have an application called Remote Pilot Ground School. That is the only application listed on your site with the words "ground school" in it....do you really not know what application i'm talking about??? I was going to buy it, but if you don't know what application i'm talking about, that worries me a bit... thanks.."

Despite your promise not to buy the app, you purchased it, then proceeded to complain that words like "humidity" were not defined.

Awesome Test Prep Guide

There are some $5 apps that are ok, but they have the same exact questions and answers. This was my main study guide that actually teaches you the concepts you need to pass the test....And it's constantly updated. I mainly used this to study and understand the airspace and weather charts. Took many quizzes on this app. Total study time was 1 week, took the test and passed.

Most of the questions you see floating around the web were not on my test. Out of the 500+ questions I've seen online and even that 3DR sample test, mine only had 6 identical questions. Apparently the FAA is like Google and sees what questions are out there, and has justly modified the questions in order to make sure pilots understand that material.

Long story Long... Lol, trying to memorize answers online only, will almost guarantee NOT passing. This app will teach you and you will pass the test of you go through the entire course
