Mac AppStore apps are for Apple mac laptops and desktops only!

The Mac™ apps on this page work great with your Mac desktop or Laptop - however, they are NOT intended for use with your PC, iPhone/iPad/iPod, Android device, or anything else.

Things work great when you purchase Mac-compatible apps directly from the Mac AppStore™.

These Mac apps (programs) have been needed to be specifically designed, programmed, and tested (a process involving hundreds to thousands of hours and specialized skills and tools) to work on Mac™ laptops and desktops and they certainly do work great on them. However, this also means that they work on Mac™ laptop and desktop devices only--purchases made via the Mac AppStore™ are not compatible with and will not work on, for example, your PC, iPhone/iPad/iPod or Android device.

If you'd like to use a given app for both your Mac and its equivalent piece of software / app for your PC, iPhone/iPad/iPod, or Android device (where one is available), as some people do in order to get 'the best of both worlds', you would need to purchase these separately. This 'a la carte' system ensures that you pay for only that which you intend to use and is fair to all involved. At any rate, it could not be differently due to Apple's sensible policy that its Mac AppStore is for Mac apps only and effectively that no 'intermingling' is allowed.

We thank you for your understanding that we are obliged to follow all other software vendors in following Apple's policies in this regard.

In addition to our PC and WindowsMobile™ offerings, you can now study for your Transport Canada written exams using our GroundSchool Canada apps for Mac™.

Features include:

FREE built-in updates that ensure that you always have access to the latest actual-test-simulating questions.

No expiration date. If you purchase it via the AppStore now, you can study now and into the future as necessary.

All charts and figures that you'll need to reference are included (though for certain paper chart questions you will want to independently purchase the recommended paper charts, as TC recommends).

Compatible with all classroom courses and syllabus programs.

Excellent ease-of-use.

Multiple study and learning modes

Take as many simulated practice exams as you'd like!

The apps are available via the Apple AppStore. Just click on one of the links above to learn more and/or to purchase. You can be studying on you iOS compatible device in no time!

"The private pilot edition of this program was recommended to me by a well known flight examiner. I was sort of skeptical buying an app to study for my exam. Definitely a big mistake. After buying it I regretted not buying it sooner! It really prepared me well, and the format is much friendlier than well known publications because it allows you to focus on the areas you truly need to prepare in. ... I felt I was weak in met, and my practice test showed that. On my real exam I scored 94% in met. Well worth the price and I have already recommended the program to my peers. 5/5!"

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I purchase the Mac™ versions?
Answer Click on one of the links above. This will take you to the Mac™ AppStore™ where you can purchase it just like any other App for your Mac PC.
Are the Mac™ apps up to date?
Answer Here's the really cool thing - the apps feature a built-in update mechanism. What this means is that with just a few clicks, our app will check the internet for updated data and download them to your device as necessary. This is integrated, fast, and free for those who have purchased the app. Usually we recommend that people update to the latest and greatest available as soon as they get the app. Sometimes, our servers may not be available or updates might not work for a short time - if this happens to you, don't panic. What we build into the downloads from the App Store is bound to be fairly recent.
Question
Is one of the apps sufficient to prepare me for my Transport Canada theory exams / papers?
Answer Yes, absolutely. Our GroundSchool - Canada apps are complete systems, featuring the totality of questions, answers, and explanations as found in our desktop computer software that has helped thousands of people pass their tests. So yes, in theory, the app is 100% all that you need.
I want to use both the Mac and iPhone™ / iPad™ (or PC, or Android) software. Can I get a discount?
Answer We'd love to be able to offer this. Unfortunately, the Mac™ apps must be purchased via the Mac AppStore and Apple policy does not allow us to co-mingle promotions like this. It's Apple's app store and they set the rules to be a-la-carte pricing and we must abide by them. (In fact, when you order the app, we don't even know that you are one of our customers).
Question
Do I need to be online to use the apps?
Answer No, you don't! Once an app is installed on your device (after you purchase it from the iTunes™ AppStore), you don't need to be actively connect it to use it. This means, for example, that you can spend your time in a passenger seat of an automobile or aircraft studying even when you don't have an active internet connection. Of course, you need to have an internet connection to your device to get updates from our servers from time to time, but as far as everyday use goes, you certainly do NOT have to be connected to the Internet.
Question
How many questions are in the apps?
Answer The apps feature the same number of questions as the PC software. Our preps feature question sets very representative of the overall Transport Canada test banks.
When does my app purchase expire?
Answer Pursuant to the terms of the AppStore EULA, this is a LIFETIME PERSONAL LICENSE to use the app. In other words, it doesn't expire! It will be waiting for you when you need this. Compare this to our competitor whose more expensive product has very short expiration dates, forcing you to pay extortionate continuation fees if you want to keep studying before a test or review later on.
