User Reviews

Users praise page-number references, adjustable exam prep, and the audiobook as strong study aids. However, content gaps (notably 16–20 and aerial apparatus in the audiobook), lack of explanations for wrong answers, and usability limitations in exam prep/bookmarking hinder learning. Reliability concerns after updates and ongoing pay-for-content issues (separate audiobook vs quizzes) also recur. Overall it’s a helpful study tool when content is complete and functioning, but reliability and coverage gaps limit its usefulness.
Pros
  • Page-number references for questions help users quickly locate answers in the textbook.
  • Exam prep feature allows tailoring quizzes by chapter and question count, aiding focused study.
  • The audiobook portion is a valued study tool that many users rely on for exam prep.
  • Overall, the app is a useful study supplement to the IFSTA book.
Cons
  • Missing or incomplete audiobook chapters (especially chapters 16–20) and aerial apparatus, with content not delivered as advertised.
  • No explanations for incorrect answers in quizzes/exams, hindering learning from mistakes.
  • Exam prep and bookmarking features lack flexibility (inability to select specific pages, inability to retake only unanswered questions, unclear bookmarking/addendum access).
  • App instability after updates and issues with re-purchasing or accessing content (crashes, being prompted to pay again).
  • Separate purchases for quizzes and the audiobook lead to higher costs and access frustration.

Used this app to help me study and pass the TCFP driver operator pumper and aerial operator tests.it is a good supplement to studying and going through the book. Prior to taking both tests I used the exam prep portion. The exam prep was super helpful in being able to select which chapters the questions came from and being able to pick how many questions I wanted on the quiz. The only thing I would say it needs, which is the reason why I didn’t give it 5 stars is when you get the question wrong, it doesn’t give you an explanation. However, on each question it gives you the page number to find the answer which is nice to have.

I love using the IFSTA apps to practice for tests. Extremely helpful, especially being able to see the page number it’s pulling the question from. Something that would level up the app tremendously is a short explanation of the answer.
