Whoever created this app needs to go to rehab

Hard drugs have is the only explanation for an app being this bad.

If you want to learn road markings, you have to scroll to that section, then find the sub section, then browse the images, then click on a link to go another section of the app entirely that explains the rules relevant to that marking, then you have to navigate manually back the contents, then back to road markings, then back to your subsection, then scroll back to where you were at in that subsection to look at the next one, only to repeat the insanity again.

W in the actual F is this supposed to be?

Good

I have used this application to study and practice my exam. I have not given exam yet but I’m very hopeful that I’ll be able to pass by studying and practising through this application.

Response from developer

Very, very helpful.

If your trying to study for your theory test, there is no better option to help you pass than this app.

Not designed for visual learners or people with Learning Difficulties

Whilst there are a lot of helpful things in this, considering they have been producing learning tools for driving for years I’m surprised they haven’t developed anything for people who have learning difficulties like myself. There could be an option to have a different coloured background but they could also incorporate images and/or videos of what they are describing.

Refund Requested

One major flaw. Cannot be searched.

One minor flaw. If you do use the index to find something, i.e. Z for zebra crossing, there are several sections you need to look at, but once you use the link to take you to one section, the back button takes you back to the main page, not the items under Z.

Poor design in regards to searching makes this unusable for an instructor looking to use it several times a day.

Response from developer

Thank you for your feedback that a search tool would be a useful addition to this app. Search functionality will be added as a future enhancement. In the meantime you can use the Index feature at the end of the Highway Code content to search for the word or topic you’re looking for. Many thanks, TSO

Not updated for 2022

There is still no update for 2022 regs. And the when using in dark mode, no text is visible in the Index, Search Bar or Search Results. Plus, it is still using Apple design rules from 10yrs ago which is incredibly out of date. Time to get better developers and UI designers.

Misty good but

Mostly good but Annoying App reminder after EVERY quiz. Also sizing is not correct for iPad. Home Screen overlays menu at bottom. Not as well done as other Apps. Random selection for quizzes not random.

Response from developer

The only app needed

Great app to learn what you need to pass the theory test. Highly recommend. Passed first time after using both.

Response from developer

Thank you for your excellent review. We are pleased you find the app beneficial for those studying for the test. Congratulations on passing first time. Best wishes, TSO

Great app - outdated design

While the content of the app is great the UI is very outdated; looks like it was designed for iOS 6 and with dark mode turned on you can’t see various elements including search results. Makes it very difficult you use. Any further updates need to be more than just content.
