Everything is on the app and amazing. I sat a mini quiz just before my theory test to brush up last minute and I’m so glad I did, 4 questions on that mini quiz came up on my theory. An easy 4 correct. Used the app for around 5 days before my test to make sure I covered everything. ### 5/5 — Incredible App *2026-08-15, version 1.5.9* A very fun way of learning all the knowledge you need to know for the Theory Test. It got me my pass and made the anxiety non existent when I sat the test. Thank you James, I appreciate this tool a lot and have recommended it to others. Highly rated app! ### 5/5 — Amazing app! Passed my test on the first try! *2026-08-14, version 1.5.9* Very straightforward and well made app. Helped me understand and look at learning from a different angle. Highly recommend to anyone looking for one. Look no further - this is it :) ### 4/5 — Excellent - needs updating *2026-08-14, version 1.5.9* It made theory revision as fun as it could be - Great idea having James narrate it. I got 63/75 hazard perception (pass mark 44/75) but only 45/50 on the MCQ (pass mark 43/50). I completed all the practice content for both sections yet in the MCQ I had never encountered the underlying theory for around 8-9 questions out of the 50 so I had to take a guess. ### 5/5 — Password to Passing Theory Test *2026-08-14, version 1.5.9* This is the secret code to passing the driving theory test. ### 5/5 — Passed *2026-08-13, version 1.5.9* Great app to learn all the standard questions. I am hoping to become an ADI and this was a no nonsense app that is very user friendly. Highly recommend. ### 5/5 — Best app ever!! 1st time pass *2026-08-13, version 1.5.9* Passed my theory first time, and wi the bout this app I don’t think I would have passed. So easy to use and great choice of multiple choice answer questions just like the exam. And the same for the hazard and perception easy to use and the same lay out as the exam. I can’t recommend this app enough ### 5/5 — lit *2026-08-11, version 1.5.9* thanks james ### 5/5 — Brilliant app, go for it!! *2026-08-07, version 1.5.9* Absolutely brilliant app, taught me all I needed to know in a few weeks and I passed my theory first time, no stress! Hazard perception videos and brilliant and James commentary really teaches you what to look for, and as a bonus, he’s hilarious and makes it feel lighthearted and funny too! ### 5/5 — Great app *2026-08-07, version 1.5.9* Really good passed first time useing this app thanks James may ### 5/5 — Good app. *2026-08-07, version 1.5.9* Reasonable price. Expert advice. ### 5/5 — thank you *2026-08-06, version 1.5.9* passed first try thank you james my love ### 5/5 — Really good *2026-08-05, version 1.5.9* I failed my theory 3 times after using the official DVSA app, I used this app for about a month practicing only a few times a week and passed my next one. ### 5/5 — Best app I've used *2026-08-04, version 1.5.9* Went from 33/50 for multiple choice and 34/75 for hazard to 45/50 for multi choice and 56/75 for hazard, amazing app and definitely the best I've used ### 5/5 — Very useful app *2026-08-04, version 1.5.9* This app was clear and easy to use, it’s definitely worth the money. ### 5/5 — Best app *2026-08-02, version 1.5.9* Used it 2 weeks before test and passed with flying colours. Not too much jargon or unnecessary info, just good precise testing that is repeatable and you’re able to just soak the info much better. Got a winner here James 🏆 ### 5/5 — Best app for hazard *2026-08-02, version 1.5.9* Don’t waste your time anything else except for DVSA official and THIS app for hazard perception especially. By far I tried all apps this one is the only educating one as it tells you what the hazard and how it develops and when to click PERFECTLY! And it’s accurate. Just past the test today and Hazard questions were very similar. For theory study it’s not enough, but good for practical tips. Hazard p is 10/10 ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Greed *2026-07-27, version 1.5.9* James May’s greed is disgusting. Great app, but why have you suddenly started charging a monthly subscription from people that originally paid to download this app? ### 1/5 — Total flop / partial scam *2026-07-24, version 1.5.9* This app’s marketing insinuates that you’ll be taught lessons for each subject by James May - adding a level of entertainment and comedy to what is a very dull subject. But in reality it’s just another quiz app with the occasional video from James May selling how smart the features of the app is. It’s a scam ### 1/5 — Paying twice??? *2026-06-03, version 1.5.9* This is a terrible app I’ve been using it for the past 2 years due to learning difficulties haven’t not gotten to take the actual exam. When I initially downloaded it I paid the one time fee and that was the end of it. Now it’s turned into a subscription service? This is ridiculous this is not what I was told about when getting the app I don’t understand why you think this is ok to do out of nowhere this is ridiculous I can’t believe this! Absolutely disgusting in this cost of living crisis to be making people who are probably young adults or teens who barely have a penny to their name pay for this ridiculous nonsense on a subscription service is ridiculous!! Would not recommend at all ! ### 1/5 — Repeats easy questions *2026-06-02, version 1.5.9* . ### 1/5 — Dont bother *2026-05-20, version 1.5.9* So I bought this app ages ago. I payed a fair price for it. Now that I really need it they have decided to make the app subscription based for you to do ANYTHING. Im so incredibly disappointed. I wont be passing my theory using this app because i shouldn’t need to have to pay again. I did look at other comments and saw others had the same issue and they replied with a contact email. Which i then tried. No answer. Waste of time. ### 1/5 — DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY *2025-06-13, version 1.5.3* Used this app 3 times. I failed 3 times using this app. STICK TO JUST USING THE ORIGINAL DVSA MATERIAL THIS APP DOES NOT HELP YOU!!!! they claim DVSA had certified this app but don’t fall for that propaganda. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY ON SOMETHING THAT WILL MAKE YOU FAIL. THEY JUST WANT YOUR MONEY!!!!! All the 5 star reviews are bought to make you believe that the app will make you pass IT DOESN’T IT WILL ONLY COST YOU MORE MONEY FOR MORE MONTHS OF SUBSCRIPTIONS AND TO RETAKE TOUR THEORY TESTS OVER AND IVER AGAIN LIKE I DID!!! ### 1/5 — Shady practices *2025-05-27, version 1.5.3* I paid for this app a few years ago, but money troubles and health issues prevented me from actually being able to afford lessons. Now I’ve come back to it and they want me to subscribe to use any of the bloody features. Shame on this company. ### 1/5 — Terrible subscription model *2025-05-21, version 1.5.3* I paid £6 for the app and all of sudden I have to pay for a subscription too, pretty shocking and a waste of money in hindsight ### 1/5 — Shocking *2025-04-30, version 1.5.3* Taught me questions that were irrelevant and I failed by 3 marks because of this app ### 1/5 — Added subscription fee *2025-04-15, version 1.5.2* I’ve already paid for this app and now going to use it I can only access about 5% of the content as it wants me to subscribe. Ridiculous since the app already cost money and mentioned nothing about this additional subscription. it renders the app practically useless. I wouldn’t recommend unless they remove that feature. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — I passed *2026-08-26, version 1.5.9* Genuinely fantastic app, used it to revise 2 hrs before my test because i had forgotten and passed with 47 of 50 on the multiple choice and 67 of 75 in my hazard perception, i will always remember this app as the app that saved me. ### 5/5 — PASSED *2026-08-25, version 1.5.9* 5/5 recommend ### 5/5 — Best app out there *2026-08-25, version 1.5.9* Make it fun to learn and the videos make it easy to understand the questions and what to answer. ### 5/5 — Really good app *2026-08-25, version 1.5.9* This app is up there with the DVSA official app in terms of revision materials and it helped make the theory test a lot easier ### 5/5 — 3 weeks was enough *2026-08-24, version 1.5.9* I found the way that this app helps you learn from mistakes along with clearly explaining things really helped with passing. For the sake of passing a couple of quid for a month to get everything you need to ensure first time pass. ### 5/5 — Passed with flying colours! *2026-08-21, version 1.5.9* I used James’ app twice a day for about 3 weeks - and it worked brilliant. By the time the test came around it was easy. ### 5/5 — FANTASTIC APP *2026-08-21, version 1.5.9* Literally started learning my theory 2 days before my test. Got 49/50 this app is absolutely amazing ### 5/5 — Passed 1st time after 2 weeks of revision *2026-08-20, version 1.5.9* Brilliant and makes a lot more sense than other apps. Just wish there was a way to review all the questions you got wrong like ever - like a super hard round? ### 5/5 — Passed First Time *2026-08-19, version 1.5.9* Decided to go with this rather than the Gov resources. Worked for me. ### 5/5 — Easy *2026-08-19, version 1.5.9* Only had the app for 2 days and passed 1st try didn’t even need to pay for it, it was so quick --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
