A lot of cards state the answer in the question, which is just sloppy and not much help in studying. All the cards are just the definitions as the question and the term as the answer - if you have the time, download a free flashcard maker and make these cards yourself. To improve this app, use of pictures/diagrams and adding questions that deal with case-studies and concepts rather than just terms would be fantastic.
Worthless. Buy the 15 dollar app. It was worth it
See title. I've emailed support and included an example.

Their were only 10 flashcards (questions) on the forcible entry chapter which is a 50 page chapter. The questions were very basic like what is a pike pole.
Eh, all the questions are correct so the app isn't that useful. Better to use with a friend to quiz each other
Its actually pretty cool. I like how its designed like your actually flipping flash cards. My only complaint with the app is it only helps with learning key terms. I know that's all it was made for which is why I also got FlashFire. Aside from that, I need all the help I can get and this app is worth the $2.
Helps me study
Not bad for freshening up on terms, do wish it were more similar to a vocabulary test, but its free and helping me relearn terminology
I love the app, has helped me tremendously while studying for Fire 1 exams, although I think it would be a great addition to add the acronyms seen throughout the book. Ex: PASS, MAYDAY. Would just be more material to improve the study experience
Wish you could pick answer choices than them being all correct.
My only complaint is that I wish I had the ability to create my own note cards and add them to the deck. Besides that, I'm glad I made this purchase. It has saved me some time from having to write all of these note cards in a portable format.
The fact there is an app to the book is great. The downside is that every answer is correct. There is no thinking involved.
Allot of the cards are half done or doesnt actually have the term on the back and just a page number others are a mess of words and letters for things like temperatures in the fire development unit. Disappointing for the money but helpful if you were just looking over keyterms.
Would be better for multiple choice answers where you could choose answers and the app keeps up with your answers.

Would be great if all the answers were not true. I have yet to see a false answer so it really doesn't help study. Alot of key questions were left out, I thought it would be more designed towards the actual test but its not. Also multiple choice questions would be great. At the moment I feel like I waisted my money. Im not happy at all with this app.
