### 1/5 — Test aren’t correct

*2026-04-16*

We had been using the app for my daughter to practice for some local competitions. When she received an error of course and point deduction she was so upset. We watched the video back and she completed the course exactly as learned. 
It was then we realised that the app instructions were not correct. They had completely missed a manouvre  and she paid the price. Contact the app only to be told as far as they were concerned it was minor and tough luck to her. Absolutely disgusted by their attitude and complete lack of ethics. 

Plenty of other more carefully curated apps to learn from, choose any of those

**Developer response:** I'm so sorry your daughter encountered an error in the test, and thank you for raising this with us directly. It was fixed in the next release a few days later, and we retested all 112 tests as a consequence. I'm afraid errors do sometimes happen despite all our efforts, but we do try and respond as quickly as possible.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t Work

*2025-09-08*

Used to love this app but recently it won’t let me open any of the tests, despite having an active subscription. I’ve even tried to buy a new subscription but it won’t allow me to as it says I have one active!

**Developer response:** Sorry to be late in replying to this issue, I'm hoping it got resolved - if it hasn't then please try "restore subscription" from the (i) menu and  please get in touch with us if the app is still locked after that.

As with all iOS apps the subscription checks are done via Apple in the US and occasionally there can be comms issues that result in a valid subscription not being recognised, "restore subscription" forces Apple to resend the information and the app will unlock.

### 3/5 — Good concept, voice recognition shocking

*2025-06-19*

I love the app 
However as soon as you’re riding a test and telling it next
I either have to shout start mid test or it pauses or resets
Not ideal when I’m on a novice horse who struggles to relax and o have to keep stopping and starting 
I have no help to learn tests so this would need to be improved before I would subscribe

**Developer response:** Thanks for reporting this, it was eventually tracked down as an issue with later releases of iOS, we have now completely rewritten the voice recognition to work on iOS 26.

### 5/5 — Lifesaver!

*2025-04-04, version 12.83*

I am someone who doesn’t own one of the dressage test books that has each test in. so when I have to do a dressage test I could never find the tests anywhere online . But this app saved me , not only does it provide up to code tests for FREE with NO ADDS but it also provides helpful learning tools like the read aloud speaker and being able to communicate with the speaker when you want each move  along with the easy to understand diagrams of each test move , perfectly sectioned labelled test instructions and an area to move your fingers along with the pattern . Completely and utterly amazing! Do not change anything about this app.

### 1/5 — Too expensive

*2024-10-10, version 10.5*

New pricing structure far too expensive.  Better to borrow the sheets.

### 3/5 — Test changes

*2024-10-08, version 10.5*

Loved the app until this weekend 
Learn p1 from app got to venue 
Wrong test P2 in app seems to be P1 which is the one I should have learned 🤔😢

### 5/5 — Couldn’t be without this App

*2024-05-31*

Dressage Test Pro has taken me from Novice to Advanced and I have just downloaded FEI level. 
 I couldn’t be without it. 
Wake up, middle of the night? Forget counting sheep, learn your next test!  ( I know I’m nuts!) 
This app covers every method of learning. You can even record your results. 
If you have any questions just email, the creators they respond within hours, and they even have a Facebook page. 
It helps that one of the creators is a dressage  rider and competes. Like me, she found it really difficult to memorise tests, hence the app!
It may seem expensive, though soon pays for itself with the confidence gained through knowing where you’re going in the arena, seeing the floor plan, with or without sound, and I do believe you can now ride with the test being commanded through the app. Obviously not in a test situation, though great for practice. 
They keep bringing out additional ideas, and the app is continuing to improve. 
In doubt?
Give it a go!

### 1/5 — Poor User Experience

*2023-07-20*

Why do I have to keep turning the speaker on each time to run a test - you should be able to set this in default ie always on or off? Why can’t the timing be set up to call, each move has the same lag. One way could be to make the app voice respondent using Siri the rider could call ‘Next Move’ 

Setting the timing is really fiddly

**Developer response:** UPDATE: The latest version (12.5) now has Caller - when you're ready to ride the next move just say "Next", it doesn't use Siri so it works without an internet connection.

Thanks for your feedback and suggestions. Version 10.5 (just released) has a Lock Screen overlay that makes it easier to ride with speaking on, and we're planning major updates to riding with speaking on for release later this year. We've been looking at voice control for some time and plan on including that in a future update.

### 5/5 — This app is brilliant and well thought out!

*2022-11-14*

I entered a last minute competition (two tests) knowing that learning one test is enough 😅!
Following the first test I quickly got my phone out and learned the second test in minutes! The visual aids, where to do your transitions, size of circles etc all worked a treat for me as the judge noted how accurate the test was… all because I saw it visually on the app. 

Thank you - because of this I won! Bonus!

**Developer response:** Thanks so much for such a positive review, it makes it all worthwhile!

### 5/5 — Best purchase

*2022-02-15*

My daughter has just started BD and thus has been invaluable for her learning her test. Excellent easy to
Use highly recommend

**Developer response:** Thanks so much for such a positive review
