Disappointed
It looks like someone had a deadline to meet and it was put up no matter what. I was hoping that it was better than the website. Both of them had things that were difficult to find. It is just a little bit better than nothing.
DMV Website
Not a great website lets you go all the way through the transaction to put your renewal registration in the cart and then it won’t let you pay. DMV really needs to fix their website because it’s worthless. If you want to pay your registration online on the day it’s due or even a few days before hand.

Built by 3 year olds
Can’t even open the app anymore it’s a waste of storage on your phone my gf also can’t open it on her phone either so you incompetent mfrs better get to making an app that actually works especially if it’s the official dmv app how is it actually this bad
Greatest app ever
It took me a minute to set everything up, but I can access my current CDL, my ID that expired in 2002 (and I no longer need but can still see), and every vehicle registered to me and all the registration info. This is such an awesome app, I am blown away. You can do so many things from this app, there’s almost no reason at all to go to a DMV office. I haven’t seen if you can upload documents yet, but I already have my Real ID so it’s not a problem. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU California DMV!!

iPhone
After downloading the app, it will not open in my iPhone 14. After turning the phone on and off several times, and deleting the app from the phone and re-downloading it, it still does not open.
What’s the point of this app?
All the functions are web based and take you the DMV’s website regardless. Seems pointless.
A nice feature would be to integrate renewals (ie driver license, registration, etc) into the app with customizable notifications when you need to renew.
Seems underbaked. Glad our tax dollars are going to good use!

Can't make an appointment online
It's impossible to make an appointment through the app. After I finish my application for a permits test, the screen goes completely white and I have to restart everything again.
Better than web page
Best app.
Still no way to apply/pay for CAV Decal…
7 years later and I still have to mail the CAV Decal application and a check! I haven’t written or sent a check in years. Wake up DMV! Not to mention the fact that I have to wait 30 days for the new EV lease registration and license to arrive before I can apply for the new decal and then another 30 days to receive that, so I can’t drive my new EV in HOV lanes for about 2 months. It’s frustrating. This process is archaic. They need to offer a temporary decal. The DMV has been in need of a serious overhaul for years (maybe privatized). They have no vision or understanding of what’s needed or how to keep up with the current times. And that “CA DMV Wallet” app is a joke. I’ve been waiting for them to offer the iOS Wallet CDL like other states for ever. Another failure. Gavin Newsom - do something.

Slow
Slow and clunky, but maybe it will get better over time.
