Flight Test X20

I used the old app for Commercial and didn’t have many problems with it. However, since starting FOI and FIA, I’m having a ton of problems with the app reloading itself whenever I switch pages. I was almost through a practice test when I received a text. I replied to the text and came back to the app. The app reloaded itself and I lost my test. I even lost all the questions I had marked to review along the way. This happens a lot when going through the study materials but isn’t that annoying because it saves your progress. The tests don’t save your progress and are completely deleted once you are done. This is a major design flaw.

Shepherd air is great and their study method really works, but the app is clunky and outdated. Every time you go home or switch to another app is has to redownload the data and takes you to the main menu. It crashes every few questions, requiring you to do the same thing. The computer version works much better.

Sheppard Air is an excellent resource for studying for your written exams, however, the app is a complete failure in simple programming. I’ve had to change my iPad’s sleep settings to never let me iPad go to sleep, just so that the app wouldn’t crash. If you accidentally touch a corner that switches app, the app will crash. If you overlay a note taking app or try to split screen, the app will crash. If you accidentally swipe up to take you back to the home screen, sometimes the app will crash. Resuming your studying is no big deal but in a practice test you have no choice but to start over. I have restarted more practice tests than I have completed due to the app crashing, about 70%. This has happened on all 3 separate exams preps I have bought from Sheppard Air. It has also been a while since the app itself has been updated and it is in desperate need of an update. Sheppard Air itself is great, but this app nosedives into awfulness worse than the MCAS incidents on the 737 MAX. The app is a waste of your precious time.

Studied for about 6 hours just as the course outlined. Got a 100 on my test for MCN.

I have lost progress on many practice tests due to the app kicking me back to the login screen. For how much money I paid for the course I expect better.

I just passed my commercial written to 94%. Study strategy which works. Thank you Sheppard. Please hire UX designer to fix app. Good interface does not require long explanation with steps, student should follow intuitive. Just don’t give lazy idiots to go to tests before learning steps.

I attended the IRA test and get 100%, 5/5 stars. The result explains everything

Used Sheppard with king schools… aced commercial pilot airplane written with 98

I want to make sure no one else gets the credit for this score ( not that anyone cares, I got a 98% and surprisingly nothing in the world changed) I have used other sites, and schools , but didn’t do good on practice exams. I followed their 5 step strategy, and scored 95 on the practice exam. Then I emailed them and they sent me a courtesy endorsement . You have to follow their 5 step strategy. It worked.

This study system is proven to work. I just wish I could study on my iphone. Having one device seems like an over zealous bogarting of the software. Foreflight allows you to have a second device with an iphone; why not allow the same?
