Excellent Course, Passed First Try
Beyond impressed with the quality of this course. I never really leave App Store Reviews, but I wanted to take the time here because this course made my Part 107 prep beyond straightforward. I’m also happy that the course will be kept updated, since it’s easy to keep up to date with their flashcards and whatnot. I spent about 4 days working through the content for about 2-3 hrs per day, plus a day to review and take practice tests. Passed with a 93%. I’d say that a week of steady commitment would be both comfortable and produce similar results. Also a note to other hopefuls, the other apps I downloaded (won’t mention them here), had numerous inaccuracies and vague questions which didn’t reflect either the test format or content. This app, on the other hand, mirrored it near-exactly. And, while there were some frustrating questions that it asks you, the same is true for the actual exam. I know some people prefer to save money by simply using free online resources, but the cost of the course is equal to the cost of the exam, and the developers will offer a refund if you pass the course reqs and fail the exam. So, I don’t really feel as though it was all that uneconomical.

Does Not Justify the Price — Be Cautious
I want to warn potential buyers about the misleading pricing strategy of the Remote Pilot app. After purchasing a $49 subscription, I expected full access to the drone pilot exam preparation materials. However, what I received was merely a collection of links to public files, which was not what I anticipated. To make matters worse, I found out later that to access the actual practice tests, I needed to pay an additional $89. This is highly deceptive and unfair. The subscription does not provide unique content and misleads users about what they are paying for. In the end, I found another app offering the same materials and practice tests for only $10, with far better value and organization.
