1. 3/5Convenient, but needs a few more study features

   I like that there is an electronic version of this book! It saves money and space in the long run. I don’t have to continue purchasing a physical copy which becomes obsolete within a year - which is a waste of space, paper, and money! However, this app needs some work. As a student pilot, it would be INCREDIBLY handy to be able to annotate the book, by actually typing or writing in the margins with the Apple Pencil, or by making notes in a separate page commenting on a specific regulation. It would also be handy to be able to print a specific page. I understand, you sell hard copies, and there is a website, but I would love to have the convenience of printing a single page of a specific regulation with my notes so I can use it to study up for the FAA tests. Otherwise, this app is good for what it does, I like that each Part is in its own section with a short description of what it is about. I just think it would be handy to have more features to aid in studying. I appreciate you looking at this review, have a good day!

2. 2/5No device syncing, search needs improvement

   Overall it’s an adequate app to access a current FAR/AIM. It is easy to bookmark and hi-light text and the study by certificate section is great. The problems are that it does NOT sync any bookmarks or hi-lighting across your iOS devices, which is beyond frustrating as most pilots are using both an iPhone and iPad. Another downfall is the search function. It is a “word search”, not a “text search”: meaning if you start typing a word it is not finding any results until you finish the word, and if you type a different form of a word it will not yield results. For example searching for ‘tire’ will not reveal results for the word ‘tires’ and if you don’t quite know how to completely spell a word you won’t be able to find partial results.

3. 3/5Good but could be great

   Let’s make this more than a ebook. Pros: - Convenience of having it on phone or EFB. - Bookmarks - Highlights Cons: - No ability to sync to an account so your FAR/AIM looks the same on every device. Including highlights and bookmarks. - Bookmarks are titled with only the regulation. The title isn’t listed so unless you know regulation numbers by heart you end up clicking through a few to find what you really are looking for. - Sortable highlights and bookmarks so you can better focus your study - Printable pages…I mean really why not have it, I’m going to go to Cornell Law and print it from another public place, as that what this is public rules and regulations. - Perhaps a 9.99/yr subscription (yes I said 9.99 a year) and a dedicated app dev and security team to add some awesome features making this a no brainer for all aviators to subscribe to. There are many more ways that this app could create an aviators FAR/AIM best friend. It starts with thinking outside the physical copy and crushing the digital subscriber option.

4. 3/5A few features missing

   Really handy that this app exists. The search is handy and so far for me. I haven’t had any issues though be fair I haven’t had to use it that often. And I really like that you can highlight in the app to highlight any important stuff. I wish that you could take notes in the app as well and right in the margins. The big thing that I would want to use the most, would be to have personalized titles as my bookmark names. The app is really good, so if those two features are added, it will make the experience nearly perfect!

5. 2/5Could use a lot of work

   Overall it’s not awful, just a digital copy of the FAR/AIM, but there are several things that are incredibly inconvenient. 1. Search feature: the search feature is far too inclusive. Any time i search for a specific reg number, at least 40 results pop up and i have to comb through every result to find the reg i typed out. At this point it is easier just to navigate it like normal. 2. Multitasking: I frequently go back and forth between the FAR/AIM and my notes/foreflight/etc. and every time i go back to the FAR/AIM app it gets rid of the reg i was looking at and i have to go back and select it again. Doing this doesn't take more than a few seconds but having to deal with it’s tediosity over and over again gets infuriating 3. Updates: as of January 21st basic med has still not been updated, and while i’m familiar with the new basic med, i cant be certain of what else is out of date. Still beats buying new paper copies and tabbing them out
