### 3/5 — Practice test for DL

*2025-10-17*

So I was using the practice test on the app. And I like to see the ones I pick and the ones a get wrong I screenshot it. So I can remember the ones I get wrong. Tell me why I did all the test and it gave me the same question I clicked it write. I got the same question and it said one was right and the other was wrong. But it was the same question. I corrected the second question with the answer from the first. Then it said ops you got it wrong. So either there a glitch with the test or something else. I’m also sure there a lot of questions missing from this test. I went to take the test at the dmv and only a few of these questions were on there. So it’s not practical if you’re not even sure what will be on the test and what won’t be. The app should have the actual test or at least most of the questions. So people who are trying to study are able to actually pass the test. And have a better understanding of the laws of the road. I hope this is improved. It could help a lot of people.

### 1/5 — update

*2025-09-20, version 5.1.2*

ADD DARK MODE & widget

### 1/5 — Terrible app

*2025-09-19, version 5.1.2*

I went into the office and they said it’s really to update address on the app. The app just sends me in circles. So now I can’t pay my registration or update my address. And I can’t pay in person. Super helpful. You want my money or not?

### 1/5 — Everything is horrible

*2025-08-29, version 5.1.2*

The app is so unorginuzed and not detailed ami made an appointment for behind the wheel and when i got there they said you can’t take it you made an “appointment for the card” WHY DOESNT IT SAY ONLINE AND WHY CANT YOU GUYS GIVE ME THE TEST NOW ITS ALONE SANTA MONICA

### 1/5 — Tries to steal passwords and crashes

*2025-08-07, version 5.1.2*

Tries to steal passwords and crashes

### 1/5 — Needs more features

*2025-07-24, version 5.1.2*

You can’t even look at what appointments you have if you schedule one. It needs a new tab at mydmv like *myappointments

### 5/5 — Very easy to renew registration

*2025-07-17*

I never review things but only reviewing because of the low stars - this worked perfect for what I needed it for.

### 1/5 — Nothing ever works

*2025-07-14*

I try every year to renew anything that is needed. Very outdated & always unhelpful. Put in your correct information and it will never find your account. You create an account and you’ll have to long on every single time for no reason. Minus we’ll go wait in those inconvenient lines at the DMV. Could have saved so much time if they focused on the app so people can spend less time at the actual DMV

### 1/5 — Terrible UI

*2025-07-04, version 5.1.2*

Genuinely one of the most frustrating Ui designs imaginable. The DMV is already a sluggish mess why not make the app the same but worse!

### 1/5 — Useless

*2025-06-14, version 5.1.2*

Don’t bother with the app.
