  • Great App

    Worked perfectly advertised just as it preformed. Went in at 7:05 finished at 9:22 and am now certified. The story line was pretty childish, but explained every part of the test thoroughly. Great app.
  • Just disappointing

    The story is never ending it seems with most of it not even being valuable information some of the test don’t even work half the time I had to spend 50 minutes just to get the fire extinguisher test to work very disappointed and a waste of time use a different app

    Sorry to hear that the story felt "never ending" to you. The narrative is provided to create 'context embedded' learning or what is sometimes called "just in time learning." For instance, you learn how to handle your boat in storm when a storm approaches or how to put out a fire when there is a fire. Studies show that this type of learning method offers the best retention for the student. The "put out the fire" activity is the second most challenging activity in the course. There is small sweet spot between aiming too high or too low. Glad to hear you were able to complete the activity successfully after several tries.
  • Waste of time and money

    Being a teenager I thought maybe this app would be better for me to learn the rules of boating but boy was I wrong. This teaches you nothing and I was almost done, had about to chapters left, and i was doing an activity and no matter how many times I did it, it wouldn’t let me complete it. Do not waste your money on this app.
  • MUST READ ***

    I was skeptical about this app after reading the reviews, BUT let me tell you! I finished it within 3 hours! I have my certification now and it was super easy! The story is sort of pointless so I don’t really care for that part of this. Other than that it is super efficient and convenient! Good luck!!

    Thanks for the positive feedback and the rating! Sorry that the story wasn't appealing to you.

  • Left and right

    I am pretty sure that this app got their left and there right mixed up.
  • Completely Useless

    Please don’t purchase this app. It’s terrible, interactive games sometimes work and sometimes doesn’t and you can move on. You will not be able to complete course and it’s a total waste of money.
  • Not a bad app

    I’m not sure what the other review experienced to give it a bad review, but I completed everything in one day and I’m now certified. This app was helpful in my opinion.
  • Scammers

    This is the first time i got scammed they make you go through all the ridiculous story and you end up with just a temporary license, i never had the option to select a permanent license they dont say anything about it untill you’re done with the program! Scammers
  • Julian was hot

    That’s a solid 5/5 for me, baby.
  • SCAM or MAJOR ISSUES!!

    I completed the entire quiz and now each time i try to take the final exam, it sends me to a prompt to download the app(which had to be complete to start this thing) then after logging in over & over it freezes up with a message saying Just a sec, we are downloading your final exam now and it never goes beyond this!!! I am reporting this to the Better Business Bureau to get my money back! Shame on the Boaters Ed web site for allowing this link. I thought the whole time it was part of Boaters Ed! Must be a scam ad!

    So sorry to hear you caught in that "looping bug." It was fixed shortly after you posted your feedback. We hope you were able to successfully complete the course. And just so you know, boaters-ed.com and boatexam.com are both courses presented by the same course provider as ilearntoboat.com. All 3 course are part of Kalomey.com's suite of outdoor recreational safety education courses.
