I'd like to hear from anyone who has used BOTH the iPad version and the DVD version of King software.

I currently have the DVD version of the IFR course, but I find my available study time is when I have the iPad with me.

Any significant differences in the two products?
 
Very little difference.

Benefit to iPad access is if they publish an updated segment, it's available near immediately.

Do keep in mind you'll need to use a Flash enabled iPad browser like Photon.

Good thought on Photon.

That.

I used the ipad FIRC and ATP. Only major difference is you need internet access on the ipad.
 
I ONLY have the IPad version and I know you asked for comments ONLY from those with both, BUT I did learn a difference between the two that I thought you might want to be aware of:

I went through the course once quickly and then took a practice test to see where I was. I made a 72 or 73, low seventies anyway. I then wanted to start back through the course to do it all over again and reset the questions answered to none. It set all questions as unanswered, but left the check marks in the menu, left each subcategory checked and left each lesson still in green.

When I contacted them they told me that EVERYTHING could be reset on the DVD version by uninstalling and reinstalling, but on the IPad it is what I saw.

Not a huge deal, but I have to track what I've already done on a sheet of paper to know where to pick up where I left off. Otherwise it means drilling down all the way to a subcategory list and see if you have already done them.

Hope this helps.
