In den Einstellungen ist aber alles korrekt. Was mache ich falsch? ### 4/5 — Efficient but Still a Challenge *2020-09-10* Reviewing the question bank of 1500+ questions does help prepare you for the exam. I passed the first time thanks to its help. Expect the test questions to be phrased strangely or cryptically at times. Also, on the actual test (at least in Shanghai), some questions might be slightly different and I even think I encountered one or two totally new questions on the test. Overall, requires some effort but totally doable and app helps! ### 3/5 — Deutsche Sprache fehlerhaft, Englisch ist ok *2019-10-10* Der deutsche Test an sich hat viele Sprachfehler, häufig weiß man nicht was gemeint ist oder was die Frage/Antwort bedeuten soll. Die Englische Version ist deutlich besser. Bilder sollten noch zoombar sein... und wäre nett wenn es ein Handbuch für Theorie in Englisch geben würde... ### 2/5 — Wording needs update *2019-05-13* I am a bit frustrated with the app. The wording in the app is very different than in the actual test. This is the second time I used the app to prepare for the test. 7 years ago it was pretty accurate. Today it was not. **Developer response:** The reason for this is that 7 years ago the questions were publicly available. After 2013 they were not anymore and are now a translation of the Chinese original. I guarantee that you will pass when you use this App, almost everyone does. ### 2/5 — Übersetzung *2019-04-27* Die Übersetzung ins Deutsche ist einfach teils lächerlich. Als ob es vom chinesischen einfach ins Deutsche ohne Sinn und Verstand übersetzt wurde , google translate lässt grüßen , omg. **Developer response:** Danke fürs Feedback. Ich habe es bereits mehrfach erwähnt aber hier noch einmal: Auch im echten Test sind die deutschen Übersetzungen zum Teil sehr schlecht. Deshalb lasse ich die App wie Sie ist um auf den echten Test vorzubereiten. ### 4/5 — For theory exam one it’s best, for theory 4 useless *2019-02-01* For first theory exam it’s best app ever, but not for theory exam 4, anyone can tell me where to find for theory exam 4 thanks! ### 3/5 — Springt wild hin und her *2019-02-01* Eigentlich sehr gute App, allerdings springt sie im Lernmodus Modul 9 mit 441 Fragen wild hin und her. Man möchte zB Frage 220 lesen, dann springt die App ohne jedes Zutun auf Frage 256, nach einer Sekunde auf 270, danach wieder auf 211. Man kann die Fragen auch nicht per Touch „festhalten“. Sehr nervig bzw. Benutzung nicht möglich. Bitte Bug beheben. Danke. ### 5/5 — You need this in order to pass the test! *2018-11-10* I downloaded this app a couple of weeks ago and took the test yesterday and passed. Without the app then no chance. Yes a few questions may not be correct but overall it is very useful. I like the way you can go back to revisit the questions you keep getting wrong. I have suggested making the traffic police signal pages larger in order to clearly see the hand signals. Recommended! ### 5/5 — Excellent *2018-09-04* The app was great. I went online and took the practice test but it every few questions it gave me one I’d just answered minutes earlier. The app was almost like a game, I wanted to view and test all the questions to boost the green percentage on the front page. Passed with a 98 and only studied for a about 5 days. The app is all to blame. ### 5/5 — Great, helpful study tool *2018-08-19* Great app, helped me pass the drivers’ exam on the first try. ### 3/5 — Unfortunately it is not up to date to August 2018 *2018-08-17* Watch out ! The app is not up to date to August 2018 ! I had the theory test almost 10 days ago and there were clips(animation) and multiple answers question that are not yet included in this app... Be aware ! Otherwise it would be a quiet good app ! ### 5/5 — Effective *2018-08-06* Downloaded the app last week and spent a couple hours a day studying, taking practice exams, and focusing on the problem questions. This morning I went to take the exam and passed. Although some of the wording is a little different from the actual test, with enough practice, the app will prepare you to anticipate the kind of answers the test is looking for. ### 2/5 — Unfortunately there is no alternative *2018-07-11* Passed the exam, but questions differed a lot! German Translationen in this App is sometimes incredibly bad, hardly understandable. My strong advice: learn and take the exam in English. Would I recommend this app? No, but there is no alternative! ### 3/5 — English translation way to improve and more than 30-40 repeated questions *2018-06-07, version 2.93* Pros: Easy to use Study guide Training / where you’ll be able to know answer right away. Cons : Unable to zoom images (traffic signal colors ) Poor quality of images 30-40 repeated question, just to increase the number question Simple questions repeated to trick ( not relevant) The translation of English hard to understand maybe used translation software directly . Too many questions, sometimes gets irritating when you see repetition Over priced, not worth it for 4.99 AUD maybe it because of 7 different languages in one app. I would recommend to separate 7 different app based on languages. Sell it for 0.99$ per app , in that way user can download whatever language they need it . That is my personal view and Hope this helps for developer and user as well. Good luck ! ### 4/5 — Gute Hilfezur Vorbereitung auf den China Führerschein *2018-05-29* Funktioniert soweit ganz gut. Leider kann man die Bilder am iPhone nicht zoomen und muss dadurch ab und zu raten was gemeint ist. Im Modus Üben fehlt mir der Ordner aller jemals falsch beantworteter Fragen (dieser würde das Lernen schwieriger Fragen erleichtern). Insgesamt eine gelungene App. ### 3/5 — Useful but... *2018-05-18* the traffic officer pictures are too unclear to make out. Ditto for the signal light pictures. ### 5/5 — Awesome App & awesome Support *2018-04-26* Makes a lot of fun to learn with app! But the best thing: Asking for some useful changes in the App, next day new version of app :) ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Garbage *2020-07-04* If I could give this app 0 stars, I would. The UI is horrible and confusing. The app does not keep track of your progress, so you have no idea of your learning progress or if you are ready for the test. Things are poorly labeled, so you have to guess what a certain icon means. Overall, a garbage experience. I want my money back. ### 1/5 — Good test preparation if app would keep progress *2019-11-12* I bought this app and studied for 4 hours (I did about half the questions) before taking a break. After about an hour I continued studying and then I realized the app reset itself and all my progress was gone. I did not turn the phone off or close the app, but I did recharge the phone (iPhone 11 Pro). So I basically need to start all over again if I want to see all the questions before the test. What a waste of time. I’m really annoyed the developer did not spend time on debugging this paid app. ### 1/5 — Not good. *2018-09-22* This is the most misleading app ever. It’s totally a perfect deviation from the real test. Nothing like it unless you are sitting for test 1. For test 4 this is utterly useless. ### 1/5 — 坑货！！！！ *2017-08-04* 里面的都看熟了，还没考过驾照！！ 实际考试好多里面没有的题目！！ 坑！！ ### 1/5 — Billing *2015-10-31* It was labeled as 12RMB but I was charged 48RMB, why? Is this some kind of scam? ### 1/5 — 完全不一样 *2014-11-01* 跟真正考试完全不一样，误导别人。 ### 1/5 — Still have to pay *2014-09-15* So, why after spending 1.49 do I then have to pay more to get anything but the most basic app? ### 1/5 — 9月12日更新的版本无法使用 *2013-09-16* 9月12日版本更新后就无法打开使用了，不知道这是什么原因，很郁闷的是需要做练习快点通过考试，现在付费了软件不能使用希望能尽快给解决 ### 1/5 — Doesn't work with iPhone5 *2013-09-15* Can't use it ### 1/5 — Disappointing *2013-08-09, version 2.0* I am using the English version, hoping that this app could help me pass the newly update 2013 version of the exam. Unfortunately, the translations are far from being coherent, and often times when using the app I find myself wondering what the questions are actually asking. In addition, the program has some very confusing user interface, which makes navigating a challenge. In short, I like the idea of this application, but am thoroughly disappointed with its execution. Hopefully the developer can put in some much needed improvements soon. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — You only need this app *2026-01-12, version 3.6* The app is very basic and simple but does the job. Just need to get used to the interface and different ways to access pinned questions, testing setup etc. No need to over complicate things. Question bank is definitely not exhaustive compared to other apps. It’s more straight up learning, no insights on why this is the case etc. Recommended for experienced drivers only and not beginners. Just used it for my CN drivers license and passed. ### 5/5 — Fit for purpose *2021-07-27, version 3.6* A previous reviewer was spot on - this isn’t app isn’t perfect, but it was excellent in helping to prepare for the exam. I passed the first time with 96/100 and I spent 4 days cramming on the 1500+ questions. There were a few new questions on the exam, and some of them were worded differently, but the vast majority were the same. In my opinion, 80% of the questions are logical and easy to answer. The other 20% however can be tricky due to wording or contextual knowledge (e.g. point violations, road signs, etc.). From my first time opening the app and trying a practice test (79/100) to the day of the exam (multiple scores of mid-90’s - it seems my final score was very much in line with the practice tests. I think this is a tremendous resource, and I recommend it wholeheartedly. ### 5/5 — Sehr gute Vorbereitung *2020-08-11* Zuerst: Die Übersetzungen ins Englische und Deutsche sind nicht gut, entsprechen aber der tatsächlichen Übersetzung im Test, die grauenhaft ist. Daher trifft hier den Entwickler keine Schuld. Ich habe nach einer Woche Übung mit dieser APP den Test problemlos bestanden. In Wahrheit waren die deutschen Übersetzungen im Test noch schlechter und ich konnte zwei Fragen garnicht verstehen. ### 5/5 — Perfect *2020-06-24* Used thisApp forPassing my Chinese travel license test. Today at the test and I passed. This would not have been possible without this perfect app.I had some questions to the developer which have been immediately answered. So the service it’s also perfect. Highly recommend this app. ### 5/5 — Shanghai 2020 *2020-06-11* Vielen Dank an das Entwicklerteam. Ich lebe seit 3 Monaten in Shanghai und seit 14 Tagen mit Führerschein. Ich habe bereits in Deutschland mit einer anderen App angefangen zu lernen aber bald festgestellt, dass es anscheinend nur eine sehr begrenzte Anzahl von Fragen gab. Schließlich habe ich 8 Wochen mit Eurer App gelernt und habe die Prüfung beim Ersten Anlauf bestanden. Man kann sich ausschließlich mit der App so vorbereiten das man die Prüfung schafft! Vielen Dank nochmals!!! Ich habe übrigens die englische Variante gewählt👍 ### 5/5 — Very useful *2020-05-21* Today I took the exam and passed at first attempt. This app. With its structure helped me a lot thanks to the developers. Quick note: English translations in the real exam is a lot better now so good news for the newbies. ### 5/5 — Great App *2020-01-05* Just took my test in Yunnan province. Over half of what I considered tougher questions on the test were ones I saw multiple times on the app. Passed the first time with a 92. Paperwork error resulted in having to test again. Second time was a 96. My friend didn’t use the app until he had failed for the 5th time. Then he passed the first time after studying with the app. Use it!! ### 5/5 — Chinese driving test *2019-06-14* Downloaded the app a couple of weeks ago. App works really well and you can go over section of questions multiple times. It also measures your readiness for the exam as a percentage and graph. There are a couple of translation differences to the actual exam but nothing to worry about. Passed the test today first time so highly recommend this app. ### 5/5 — Passed thanks to this app... *2019-03-01* I decided to finally get my Chinese Driver’s license and without this app I would have failed. Study the questions and you’re golden. ### 5/5 — Best app to prepare for the test *2019-02-20* This is the best method to prepare for the test. In a week or less you could be ready to pass the test with 90% or above. I scored a 94 and relied on this app exclusively for preparation. I spent about 7-8 hours in total preparing and did well on the day. Definitely worth it! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
