User Reviews

Users praise Prepware Private Pilot as a strong mobile study tool with a realistic, exam-like question bank that many say helps them pass PAR, plus a large set of practice questions and a convenient save-and-resume feature. However, reviews repeatedly flag content accuracy issues (wrong/outdated answers), incomplete topic coverage, and significant readability problems in dark mode due to poor contrast. Bugs and stability concerns, especially on Mac, and questions about value for money further impact ratings. Overall, it's a helpful supplement when used with caution about its flaws.
Pros
  • Great for studying on the go thanks to mobile accessibility.
  • Question bank is realistic and aligned with the real FAA PAR, helping users pass.
  • Large volume of practice questions provides broad coverage.
  • Many users report high scores after using the app.
  • Save/Resume feature makes it easy to pick up where you left off.
Cons
  • Content accuracy issues: wrong or outdated answers; some questions conflict with the official material.
  • Poor readability in dark mode / color-contrast problems (white text on light backgrounds, black on black).
  • Incomplete coverage: some questions/topics are missing from the app.
  • Bugs and instability, including platform-specific issues (notably on Mac) and degraded UI after updates.
  • Price/value concerns: perceived overpriced for the quality; mixed opinions on whether it's worth the cost.

I just got a 80 on my PAR using this and the computer version. I say it’s great to study on the go. I know it’s not the best score but it’s a passing score. And I’m happy with it! The hard part about using it on the phone is doing any course plotting is hard since the screen is so small and you can’t really see the maps so well and put your plotter on top to practice but if you screen shot and send the image to your iPad it helps. Good luck!

I got a 90% on my PAR written exam today but that’s after memorizing everything this app had to offer and learning some basics of flying in the aircraft. 1/3 of the questions I’ve either never seen were in the test, or the the questions and answers were worded very differently from Prepware. I think the FAA has finally caught on to students rote memorizing Prepware questions to pass the written instead of understanding the material and using critical thinking.

Worth every penny! Used this over the last two weeks as a final prep to my PAR exam. There was 4 total questions on my exam that this app didnt have. All others were either word for word or close enough I was rest. Amazing app
