About this app

Sporty's Study Buddy will prepare you for the FAA written test like no other study tool available, with three modes of operation - learning mode, simulated tests and flashcards.

Learning Mode allows you to create custom review sessions by selecting exactly which categories you want to review. Each session randomly generates the question order, and provides instant feedback based on your answer selection. Each question also provides a detailed description as to why each answer is right or wrong. These explanations were developed by Sporty’s team of Master CFIs, based on their experience preparing students for the Private Pilot certificate

Flashcard mode tests your knowledge by allowing you to only see the question without the answer choices. After answering the question mentally, you can then select to show the correct answer, and self-grade your progress along the way. This is a great feature that keeps you from being distracted by incorrect answers!

Test mode randomly generates a 60-question session from the entire database of published FAA test questions, simulating the real Private Pilot test. After answering all the questions, you’ll be given instant results, and have the option to review either all the questions, or just missed questions. Included in the review session are the same detailed explanations for why each answer is right or wrong.

I used this app for a whole semester, then didn't use it for about 2 months. I tried to study after that time period and the app wasn't working. I clicked on all the options; like, flashcard mode, learning mode, test mode, etc., and it didn't give me the categories I could choose from before. It was just blank. I've tried to download it again two times now and restart my phone, but nothing is working.

Great app. It was so helpful to be able to study questions whenever a had free time, wherever I was. Only complaint is the same as one other review I read. It would be very helpful if there was a virtual plotter feature somehow. Maybe like Google earth uses a two finger touch on maps to measure between two points. Other that that, I don't know that I would've passed my written without it!

I love the format. Love that I can quiz myself and have it take me back through only the questions I got wrong the first time. Love that I can study by category (or even select more than one), or take a practice test with all of the categories mixed together. Love the explanations for each correct answer. I was kind of shocked to get this much value out of a $15 app. Highly recommend to anyone studying for the exam, and even for those just looking to refresh their knowledge.
