Review summary

Users find Prepware General helpful for studying FAA general test materials and appreciate its large question bank and explanations. However, multiple reviews highlight issues such as progress being lost unexpectedly, answer choices not being randomized leading to rote memorization, outdated or differing content from the official FAA exam, difficulty with figure-based questions, and Android-specific problems like poorer formatting or missing features compared to iOS. Despite these drawbacks, many users who thoroughly study all questions feel it contributed significantly to their success.

Pros

App provides a large bank of questions closely aligned with the ASA test guide aiding in study preparation.
The app is convenient for studying anywhere and anytime, helping users to pass the general written exam.
User-friendly interface allowing easy access to study materials and practice tests.
The explanations in many questions help users understand topics better.
Helps in memorizing key concepts and is useful for reinforcing knowledge gained elsewhere.

Cons

Progress is often lost when the app is closed or inactive, even with the save feature enabled.
Answers do not randomize in position even though questions do, leading to memorization of answer placements rather than content.
Some questions and answers are outdated or inconsistent with official FAA test materials causing confusion.
Figures or diagrams are not adequately integrated with questions, making it difficult to answer visual-based questions.
Android version lacks features and content available on the iOS version and is sometimes buggy with poor formatting.

2024-10-02	Ha*****	Lose study progress if app is inactive overnight. Can't open using laptop. Answers sometimes differ from groundschool.

2024-07-01	Ty*****	Just took the general test today. This app is pretty good to help studying whenever you want, the questions in here are the same as the asa test guide. It will help you pass but expect to see questions that are not in here.

2023-08-15	Wi*****	It is a great app for studying finals and General writtens. The biggest problem with this app is that the questions get randomized but the answers stay the same. Meaning that the correct answer for the same question will always be in the same spot.

2023-06-26	Th*****	App looks like it's copied and pasted from iOS. Formatting doesn't line up, windows are hard to navigate and kinda annoying to use.

2023-06-18	Va*****	The app itself is good, however, it's extremely hard to answer questions that have figures. If you were able to put the figures with the questions so I don't hav eto try and remember the question or a diagram, that would be awesome, and I'd give 5 stars.

2023-05-01	Fr*****	Great Study App, has some issues. The biggest issue. The answer don't randomly change. So once you know the answer it's like over and over in the same position. So it just makes you memorize the order of the answers. I like it to be randomly in the answer section. Just like the questions are randomly every time you take a new test. Another they screw over Android users. Apple gets them all and cheaper in one app. Android they screw use. That's BS.

2022-06-24	IM*****	Constantly losing my progress even when using the save feature just from a simple close of the application, I shouldn't have to save each time. It should save for me. Some explanations of questions only reapeat the answer and don't actually explain. Also it should display which subjects you excell in and which ones you need to practice in like it does on the computer.

2021-12-27	Bu*****	I like the apps, don't get me wrong. I don't like that if I click off of it for any reason that it resets. I would to be able to select multiple sections ,not one or all, to study or test. Also it would be nice to the app could (or the user) create a bank of missed questions so that you are not spending time on the ones that you know the answer to.

2021-09-30	M *****	FOR THOSE OF YOU STUDYING FOR YOUR WRITTENS: DO! NOT! only study the "Test" mode that gives you 60 questions. You NEED to have gone through all 12 sections and should know AT LEAST your Electricals, Weights and Balances, Aircraft Drawings and Maintenance publications. You'll see that many reviewers here are rather upset that they just barely passed, or flunked and wasted 175 bucks. This is why! Don't be lazy! Have faith in yourself and run through these questions so you cruise thru the exam!

2021-05-09	Ke*****	Well guys, nothing to worry about this app. I just passed the test studying with this app. Try to present the test with at least 95% or more in the app because it will significantly reduce in the real test. The problem is not about the prepware, the problem is about the platform of the real test. They scramble many questions and make it a little confused but most of the questions are in this app.I Bought prepware books 2021 and have the same content. Don't waste money on the books.
