This is very helpful simulator in that it teaches you proper radio etiquette and what to expect in just about every situation. It would be nice to have the software updated with current ATC phrases (i.e. Line up and wait) but this is minor.

The software forces you to read through the responses and to pick/say the correct one, thus limiting you ability to "know" what to say and allowing you to just read what you see. (This won't help you to be able to communicate effectively in the air.)

A multiple choice option makes you unable to just speak your responses and compare it during a debrief to a professional pilot.
The simulated "tuning of the proper freq" that makes you may be good for beginning pilots, but adds another step that isn't learning what to say and what to expect in the IFR communication environment.

Review: I give this 2 stars because it doesn't work on macintosh OS X. I have used Comm1:VFR radio simulator which is great, and this is probably just as good, just doesn't work on my Mac computer. So, Mac owners beware, you will need to have Windows on your Mac using something like parallels or bootcamp to use this product on your Mac Leopard or later, or figure out how to run your Mac in classic mode, which I'm still trying to figure out.

Good Product but some minor faults
by Bill from Cincinnati OH USA 
Pros: Great Information and Learning Tool
Cons: Won't Allow Fast Fwd and Rewind
Review: The content is excellent with very well thought out and detailed explanations of communication scenarios. My only complaint is that with each section you cannot skip forward through the lesson and only work on the practice. If the practice would allow you to fast forward and rewind through sections I would rate the product a solid "5"

Very helpful
by JdA from Marina del Rey CA USA 
Pros: Easy to follow. Makes you talk and you can listen how you sound
Review: I was going through IFR training and found it very helpful. English is not my first language and radios are more challenging to me than they are for US natives. It felt a bit goofy at first to talk to the computer, but it really made it for me. I managed to get comfortable with ATC instructions such as clearances, approaches, etc.
