Important notes
• In Switzerland a driver’s licence is required to use boats with more than 6 kW of power or with more than 15 m2 of sail area.
• A theory and a practical exam are required. The theory exams are the same for both powerboats and sailing boats and the test questions are the same all over Switzerland.
• The official offices conduct theory exams.
• The way questions are put on App boattheory.ch is very close to the way they are at the official exam.

### 2/5 — English translation not well done

*2020-09-14*

For the English version - The translation this app uses and the actual exam are different so it made it hard to remember the theory when the technical terms were different. There were also a lot of questions on the exam that were not on the app. Also customer support was non-responsive. Maybe a good app for official language (German, French, etc..) but would not recommend for English version.

### 4/5 — Review of the English version

*2019-06-09*

It’s great that this is now in English and appreciated. Just for a feed back, a few questions don’t make a enough sense and there are some typos.
Also it maybe be the way it’s translated, but some times a question seams to be repeated twice, but had different answers.
One ex would be the questions about the magnetic north - variation and deviation. This may just be the way it’s translated.
All in it’s a great ap.

**Developer response:** Thank you for the feedback, we are working hard at the moment to rewrite the English  translation of the app, 
We are hoping that in the next month or so we will have all sections re-written and up loaded for all to see,
True North is. One we have flagged up to change.
Thanks again for the constructive feedback.
Regards....
