I love this app but I can't review the sections or the incorrect answers. It quits every time. I have to start completely over rather than being able to go over my incorrect answers

Got a 92% today! This app was incredibly helpful. Even if you only have a few minutes, you can cram some useful info into your brain

Very slow and glithcy app, unresponsive at times. If you turn your screen while using the app the screen will go black for a couple of seconds or up to almost a minute. Sometimes trying to scroll down during a test, the app takes it as clicking on an answer. I use it on a Galaxy note 10, on which no other app has this problem, ans with my daily use of this phone I know there is nothing wrong with this phone.

This app has modes of review that really helped me out a lot. The practice exam that let me review my wrong answers was a great feature! The option between multiple choice or flashcard was a great option that made things more interesting and challenging. This app is great!

Passed my private pilot exam today and did well. Highly recommend the study sessions in question mode. I was able to study on my lunch break at work using my tablet. thanks sportys

I love the format. Love that I can quiz myself and have it take me back through only the questions I got wrong the first time. Love that I can study by category (or even select more than one), or take a practice test with all of the categories mixed together. Love the explanations for each correct answer. I was kind of shocked to get this much value out of a $15 app. Highly recommend to anyone studying for the exam, and even for those just looking to refresh their knowledge.

I am a flight instructor and use this app to be sure my students are prepared. I sign their endorsement if they can show me 3 90% on their practice tests in this app. I've never had a student fail.

Automatically I'm let down. The legend for sectional maps are fuzzy and when I zoom in it loses clarity. Not very good for an app. You're going to set up an app it needs to be able to be clearly read.
