User Reviews

Users praise Sporty’s Pilot Training for high-quality videos and effective FAA test prep across devices, with many reporting success on exams. However, recurring issues include crashes/freezes, outdated content not aligned with current rules, update-induced bugs, confusing navigation, and download glitches. Overall, the app is valuable for studying, but stability and content accuracy need improvement to maximize usefulness.

Pros

High-quality, well-produced content and videos that are easy to understand.
Strong exam-prep effectiveness; many users report passing FAA written exams using the app.
Multi-device accessibility and online availability across iPhone, iPad, Apple TV, CarPlay, and web.

Cons

Frequent crashes and freezes during study, video playback, quizzes, and submissions.
Content sometimes outdated or not fully aligned with current FAA knowledge tests; some questions poorly worded.
Update-related bugs and regressions breaking features (new layout issues, purchases not recognized, etc.).
Navigation and usability frustrations (confusing course switching, difficulty selecting specific questions).
Download/reading glitches (endless download loops, stuck loading).

Recent reviews

I can tell the content is of highest quality. However, when simply wanting to review by listening via the app on iPhone, audio and video cut out, app freezes every couple of minutes, have to restart and the cycle continues. Hoping to get some advice as to if this is a known issue or just me!

I’ve used this app for quite some time and recently deleted it from all my devices, dialogs hang, it crashes a lot. I’ve switched to just using the WEB interface. Very disappointed but Sporty’s can never duplicate my issues.

I have switched ground flight schools to Sporty’s, the difference is night and day. Very impressive that it is online, iPad, iPhone, Apple TV, CarPlay!
