User Reviews

Reviewers praise King Schools content and convenience on iPad, with useful text-based materials. However, many reports cite stability problems, outdated content, mobile UI issues, high cost and restricted access, and finicky quizzes, which undermine study continuity. Overall, strong material is overshadowed by UX and policy shortcomings.
Pros
  • Access to reputable King Schools ground school content.
  • Easy to use and convenient, especially on iPad.
  • Text-based study materials that complement videos.
  • Overall strong ground school platform with reliable content delivery.
Cons
  • Frequent instability: crashes, blank screens, and pages that won't load.
  • Outdated/low-quality video content and poor alignment with slides.
  • Poor mobile UI/UX: small text (especially in portrait), no zoom, limited scrolling, and touch targets that are too close.
  • High price and restrictive access: expensive, no ongoing access after completion, and limited offline options.
  • Unforgiving quiz UI with small tap targets leading to misclicks.

So far I’ve completed my PPL and am working on my IR using CTA. This school works regardless of whether you are flying Cessnas or not and in my case I’m flying Pipers! Keep in mind that there will be Cessna specific items at various points so it that doesn’t apply to you, just make note of it and move on. The audio feature and videos are fantastic however some of the pages are bugged there there is no audio option. My only gripe (and maybe it’s just me) is that this is a little over the top for what I needed to know for PPL. While having this information is excellent, I found that I had to relearn a lot of the information when prepping for the oral as it got lost in the acres and acres of information CTA provides you. My best recommendation if you choose to you CTA, which I think you should, is to use organized electronic notes and take this ground school extremely seriously, even if it takes you several months to complete, which it most likely will. Overall CTA is exceptionally helpful! Don’t get overwhelmed PPL students! You’ll do just fine!

This app is incredibly helpful when I am on the go with family or in school. I am easily able to complete lessons, watch videos and keep up with my instructor and in some cases ahead of my instructor. This app I can say for certain has shortened the learning curve in my journey to becoming a pilot before college. My only critique is that the only aircraft that are displayed in the app are Cessna, although not a surprise due to the app being centered towards Cessna’s it would be a help if the app could demonstrate other scenarios - I fly a pipestrel alpha trainer to make my journey affordable with my current position in income.
