I passed. The questions are nearly identical, but the app keeps freezing and I had to reload my phone 8 times and continuously delete the app and redownload. ### 5/5 — The best app for permit test *2026-05-14, version 1.0.16* The app almost has the exact same questions on the permit test at the dmv . ### 5/5 — Highly recommended *2026-03-27, version 1.0.16* One stop destination to prepare for DMV test ### 5/5 — App *2026-03-16, version 1.0.16* Nice app ### 4/5 — Passed first try w/ this *2026-03-03, version 1.0.16* Super helpful like the title suggests, the only reason I had to take out a star was because the app lagged on me before fully crashing, and I had to delete then redownload. Otherwise highly recommend ### 5/5 — It works *2026-02-13, version 1.0.16* 99% OF THE QUESTIONS WERE ON THE TEST IT HELPED SO MUCH! I’m not a robot thank god I passed with this app. ### 5/5 — Truly the best app you can use *2026-01-21, version 1.0.16* Could not be more greatful that while I was doing research I found this app. It has very similar questions to the actual try of not the same ones and also has the same format of wording which helps with more confusing questions. Thankyoy so much this app was the reason I passed! ### 5/5 — 10/10 *2026-01-09, version 1.0.16* Helped me pass my test. No joke I didn’t read the book just used this app ### 5/5 — GREAT APP *2025-12-17, version 1.0.16* This app is so accurate with the questions and honestly it’s the best, I highly recommend this app to anybody. Study for a week and you’ll pass your test 🙂 ### 5/5 — Goat *2025-11-03, version 1.0.16* Fire app i studied for one day and passed the permit ### 5/5 — Highly Recommend!! *2025-10-23, version 1.0.16* Honestly this app saved me. I downloaded it in desperation since my permit written test was in a few weeks. I needed to know what to expect on the exam. I studied with this app every day. And on the day of my permit appointment, I walked into the DMV so nervous. But thanks to this app, I felt more confident and even finished the computer test the fastest from every test taker there before me! And I passed! Thank you so much for this app, it was so helpful and accurate. 🙌 ### 5/5 — Good app *2025-10-08, version 1.0.16* Hi took my test passed on my first try . Definitely review the practice answer before doing the practice test . ### 5/5 — Helped me pass my test *2025-10-07, version 1.0.16* Thank you for making this app it helped my friend and I pass are permit test 💜 ### 5/5 — amazing *2025-09-16, version 1.0.16* only got one wrong, i was so nervous and because of this app i only got one wrong. the questions were pretty much identical, just worded a bit differently. don’t dress too much about it ### 5/5 — Great App To study *2025-09-04, version 1.0.16* I was so nervous to take my permit test so I started using multiple apps but then I tried this app bc a friend recommended it, this app is basically all you need to pass instead of downloading alot of apps I passed on my first try, the questions where like the same as in the dmv, THIS APP IS LEGIT A LIFESAVOR FR ### 5/5 — Best app to study *2025-08-04, version 1.0.16* It helped me pass my drivers license easily off of just a few days of studying would recommend ### 5/5 — best app period *2025-08-01, version 1.0.16* i can’t say enough how much this app helped me. i was seriously so nervous for the permit test. i scheduled an appointment like 2 months ahead which was the closet appointment the dmv had for me. i very much procrastinated for those 2 months and still ended up fine. i fr just studied for like 2 hours for 2 days before the test only using this app. i was stressed that i had to read the handbook but only read some of it. just use this app and make sure you study ALL of the questions on the practice mode and you will be fine. i did it like twice. again, seriously can’t thank this app enough for helping me pass the first try. ### 5/5 — Helped pass *2025-07-22, version 1.0.16* Literally same as the test for driving. Gooddd ### 5/5 — BEST APP EVER! *2025-07-18, version 1.0.16* you guys, i didn’t even read the book and i passed using only this app. get on it yall, this is the best app you can use to practice your test. i only got 3 wrong. ### 5/5 — I love this app *2025-07-16, version 1.0.16* The questions on my test were pretty much the same as this app. I used the practice button and random.

Terrible app do not use!!!!!! ### 1/5 — Did not prepare me at all, and I failed *2023-09-25, version 1.0.16* Questions were different, I failed lol. ### 1/5 — Worst App I’ve ever used *2023-05-05, version 1.0.16* Terrible app. Reuses multiple questions all over again and a majority aren’t even on the actual test. I had used this app for two weeks up the test and had used a different app for my first attempt. This test got me a worse score and help at all. Wouldn’t recommend to anyone l ### 1/5 — Horrible *2023-03-07, version 1.0.16* Taken the practice test over 100 times not one question helped me on the exam ### 1/5 — Trash app *2022-12-02, version 1.0.16* Completely different question then on the test ### 1/5 — Not worth it *2022-09-23, version 1.0.16* There are over 300 questions on this app and out of all them there were maybe 2 on the actual test ### 1/5 — Questions were not in the real dmv test *2022-08-02, version 1.0.16* I studied using this app and failed the test I wont be using this anymore ### 1/5 — Not worth free *2022-07-17* I should’ve listened to the reviewer that said this app was not worth paying for. They have several repeat questions in the flashcards. It is poorly designed and definitely not worth $1.99 or $.00 for that matter! I asked for a refund like the other reviewer did and got a nasty response from the developer saying I had not gone through enough questions. I went through over 100 of the 400 flashcards which included several repeat questions. There is another app, CA DMV Test which is up-to-date, (this app has not been updated in three years) CA DMV Test looks and works great! This does not… Stay away from this app. I am trashing his app. It’s a small amount of money, but when something doesn’t work and you ask nicely for a refund, we’ll… ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Test *2026-08-05, version 1.0.16* I passed on my first time elite app ### 5/5 — The real app to pass *2026-07-22, version 1.0.16* I failed 3 times using another app and then i switched to this one I studied this app for two days and passed questions are very similar and more raw 10/10 recommend! ### 5/5 — Good app *2026-07-20, version 1.0.16* The app is very easy to use and can manage around and the questions were just like the ones on the test while some were worded a little differently but still great and passed first try ### 5/5 — BEST STUDY APP EVER *2026-07-16, version 1.0.16* i used this app like crazy for all 3 days right before i took my permit test and i passed with only 4 questions wrong, most the questions on the permit test are identical to the questions on this app!! i highly recommend!! ### 5/5 — DMV CA *2026-07-14, version 1.0.16* Best app ever I passed on my first try for renewal ### 5/5 — Good *2026-06-27, version 1.0.16* All u need ### 5/5 — excellent app *2026-06-26, version 1.0.16* app is really helpfull ### 5/5 — First try passer *2026-06-15, version 1.0.16* Ts go crazy passed first try ### 5/5 — Hands down the best one *2026-06-02, version 1.0.16* This app is truly a hidden gem. It makes studying so much easier and the fact that you can save the questions you missed and access them as a completely different test with just those questions. It’s amazing. Just kept taking it until i can get the 100%. Went to the DMV and was surprised to see the exact same questions show up, and only a few questions too. I think they mix them up to avoid cheating so not everyone gets the same questions. Felt good feeling 100% answering each one. ### 5/5 — Great app *2026-05-27, version 1.0.16* Easy to use, pass after practicing. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
