Questions and answers: good. Programming: bad.

The good: It does basically work. The content is correct, the questions are accurate, the explanation texts are mostly helpful (although the ones that just excerpt the FARs and bold a line or two are kind of lazy.) I got 97% (missed 2) on my written, after using it. So a few stars for that.

The bad: as software, oh my, is this dire. The UI feels like a bad port of mid-90s Windows software, or an early "frames" website. The "pile" system is unclear and did not seem to do anything. Likewise the "mark" or "favorite" buttons. Question search by learning statement code (to review the missed questions) does not work at all. Question search by text is unhelpful: search results can only be viewed by starting a full test (review notes are hidden til everything is answered.) Questions were repeated without any indication of why, or if there was some system to it. Theres a checkbox to "try" to avoid repeating questions - what? Scrolling was slow and jerky, and the Figures frame scrolled when resized (content attached to the bottom). And so on and so on.

This would function better as a book, or set of physical flash cards, than as an app. Get a proper UI expert to clean up the spec, and an actual Mac programmer to implement it, and then you might have something. I as a developer would be embarrassed to release this.
