Great App!

Due to a backlog in the UK, there are not enough driving appointments to go around. Driving Genie found a cancellation for me, and I will be using it again!

Really easy to use, would definitely recommend

I downloaded Driving Test Genie as recommended by my driving instructor and I was not disappointed! I received my first cancellation within a week of downloading the app and it was for my top choice of test centre and a month earlier than my original test booking. All I had to do was reply to the text message and there was no frantic rush as the slot was held for 10 minutes. Received official DVSA confirmation only a couple of minutes later. It was super easy and quick to set up my account and the customer service is fantastic. The app itself has a simple interface which clearly shows key information and regularly updates looking for available tests. Definitely worth paying for this service and would recommend to anyone thinking of investing in it - it really takes the stress away from booking a driving test.

Very helpful

Original test was booked 6 months out. Driving Genie was able to offer a test within 2 months (4 months earlier). Very helpful!

Does what it is designed to do

Chose this app from a number of options available in order to reduce the wait time for my daughter’s driving test. I didn’t fancy logging into the DVSA web site every day checking manually. The app has an issue where it doesn’t display new test dates sent whereas the show on the Web site. However, the texts work fine. I signed up on behalf of my daughter and managed the booking for her.
Communication and support from the people behind it was pretty awesome too, only taking a matter of minutes to respond to a question.
Managed to get a test 2 months earlier than we originally booked.
I would recommend this app.

Great Service

I used Driving Test Genie for my daughter and have had nothing but great service. Numerous dates for cancellations have been provided, one of which my daughter accepted last week to bring her test forward by over a month. It certainly made finding an earlier date easier by removing the daily checking we had to do previously. I've also had to make changes to her test location and some of other her details by contacting their online support. All such requests were dealt with quickly and efficiently. All in all I've been very impressed, pleased I took the plunge to use the service and would recommend it without hesitation.

Simple and fast

App is very simple and customer service is quick. Was getting cancelations within a week.

It’s actually really good!

Like many other I failed my test over something silly but was 100% ready to take it and fully capable (lol) so I wanted to get a test as soon as possible to fix my mistakes and get the pass! This app really really helps getting you test in quickly and I can’t stress how good the value for money is for the service that you get!

We I first got the app I was a bit unsure because I don’t really pay for app and services like this and for the first three days I had had radio silence but I just got a test which is only around two weeks after my original which is absolutely amazing .

I think the main thing with this service is to have patience! They even put up a refund guarantee if they don’t end up finding you a test so you absolutely know the service they provide is good!

Good Basic App

Had to book a test in not an ideal location just to get on the system so could then get a cancellation. Chose this as the driving instructor recommended. Once you work out how it works it’s pretty simple. You can’t select the test centres you have to email for them to add these on (up to 5). I have had quite a few options through. When I went to book them on 4 occasions it didn’t work as the DVSA site can have problems (is what I’ve been told). The last one I booked worked but still going to see if there is one sooner as it’s on the same date as original test.
The one thing that is good is the quick response you get from the support email. Just a shame sometimes it doesn’t work. I noticed someone said about a pain in having to check every phone message that comes up. You can set a different ring tone for the text messages that come through so you know immediately it’s from test genie.

Really works!

This app I was a bit dubious about after spending hours of my own time searching for a new date. After failing my first test the worst thing wasn’t even the failing it was the 6 month wait for a new date. After a week of no news I wondered if the app was a scam but I received a new date several weeks earlier than the one I had booked and had 10 minutes to accept which gave me time to speak to my instructor and confirm he was happy with the date and time too. I’m still hoping for an even sooner date but I have to say this app is a lifesaver and saves you the stress of wasting hours of time anxiously searching for test dates that may be sooner. Really good app, worth every penny.

Horrible, expensive and no results

I downloaded this app more than 2 months ago. It was the most expensive for such purpose. It yielded 0 benefit, 0 bookings and made me felt like my money was taken away for nothing. Also, the user interface is not friendly and you cannot make any changes on your booking details unless you email the team.
