### 4/5 — The best for theory

*2025-05-16, version 7.8.0*

This is the best app I have downloaded to prepare for my theory test. However, for the price of the subscription would have been nice to have the hazard tests too. Hence why a star less. I am sure with this addition, this would become the most recommended/downloaded app.

### 4/5 — J J

*2023-06-19, version 7.4.2*

Really good app and very informative

### 4/5 — Highly recommend but…

*2023-01-15, version 7.3.1*

Got me passed finally and I had to resit thanks to covid and I passed again first time. Had it recommended to me and it’s perfect honestly wouldn’t have got through without it however, idk if it’s intentional but they refuse to use the word “they/them/theirs” in sentence's and instead use “his or hers” which is annoying to read and feels transphobic to me. Just say theirs, it’s grammatically correct and reads far better. 
I won’t be recommending the app to my LGBTQ+ friends for this reason. Which honestly is all of them.

### 3/5 — Good but doesn’t have a hazard perception section

*2020-12-09, version 6.1*

The multiple choice questions on this are great, but it has nothing for the hazard perception test like DVSA app.

### 5/5 — Had a problem, got resolved!

*2019-10-04, version 5.4.2*

Had a problem recently and was resolved promptly! Very good customer service! Absolutely wonderful tech support! A*

### 5/5 — The best theory app ever

*2019-08-28, version 5.4*

The added advantage of this app is the explanation is gives to answers. It’s gives better understanding than just accepting the fact that you got a question wrong or right. Absolutely Brilliant

### 4/5 — It’s good for a free app

*2019-07-27, version 5.4*

It’s really good considering it’s free but i will still be using other revision methods and apps because I’m not sure if I’ll pass just using this app but I would recommend you try this app out

### 5/5 — S Pearson

*2019-07-19, version 5.4*

I have failed a few times at my proper theory test so I thought I would go back to basic and this app as helped me so much now I have gained confidence to go back in for it as also am dyslexic it’s brilliant to understand

### 5/5 — Easy on the go

*2019-07-09, version 5.4*

I find it easy to use and provide answers when failed the question

### 5/5 — 5* rating

*2019-04-02, version 5.3*

I really cannot recommend this app enough! I passed my theory FIRST time using only this app!! It really did help get me to understand and learn what I need to get me through what I thought was going to be a really difficult test but as the questions are so similar I found it a lot easier! 
I did but the whole app which gave me more to revise which was great and 7.99 really doesn’t break the bank as much as a retake does!!

### 5/5 — excellent app

*2019-03-21, version 5.3*

i've passed first time using this app

### 5/5 — Perfect!

*2019-02-20, version 5.2*

Amazing app. Best theory test app out there.

### 5/5 — I scored 47/50 first attempt

*2019-02-11, version 5.2*

I passed my driving theory test today and I only used this app. This is my first attempt and I scored 47/50.
I used the premium package and I don’t regret spending that money. 

Thank you guys!

### 5/5 — Passed first time

*2019-01-29, version 5.2*

Me and my friends passed first time using this app, all the questions are within the app and there is no point for spending money on a app that has the same questions. Defiantly recommend!

### 1/5 — Paid full price for the life time & the developer does not let me to use the app!

*2024-02-18, version 7.4.3*

Paid full price for the life time & the developer does NOT let me to use the app! The app developer is quite DODGY as I paid the full price and does NOT let me to use the app for some reason! Horrible feeling and I now feel RIPPED OFF as there is no way to complain about the purchase and payment. I used it only for a period of 3-4 months then when I come back to use it again; the App shows that I can only use the introductory section of it! So please think twice before you pay for this App. I am an honest health professional and I can afford to purchase the full program but why shall I pay for the app I have already paid! Irrespective of the price paid for, it is wrong someone to steal your payment and does not let you to use the app!

### 1/5 — Not happy

*2020-07-21, version 6.0.3*

I was not happy at all with this app because i had revised every single day for 1 month for 2-3 hours revising each topic and doing the mock test which by the way i had to pay £7.99 for was not accurate at all compared to the actual test which i had barely passed because i had put most of my time into this app and i realised it asked me around 5 questions which was on this app however it was only general questions and common sense and i am extremely disappointed overall

### 1/5 — Do not buy

*2020-03-10, version 5.4.3*

Disappointed and disgusted I trusted this app and it has failed me. I not only failed 3 times but so has 3 of my friends. Do not buy I am so stressed about driving now I have some sort of ptsd I don’t know yet but let’s see. Please just don’t buy

### 1/5 — Wish I could it 0 stars

*2020-03-10, version 5.4.3*

My life is over. I failed my test sevens time cause of this app. I only just now reasoned it doesn't have the right questions. I dont know what to do anymore. I’m 25 and still need my parents to drive me around. DO NOT RECOMMEND

### 1/5 — User

*2019-06-05, version 5.3.1*

Pretty expensive compares to other apps

### 1/5 — EB

*2019-03-22, version 5.3*

I bought the premium version in the app which supposedly unlocked the other tests but it didn’t allow me to use them and instead robbed me of £8.99 instead. Useless and rubbish app, do NOT buy the premium.

### 1/5 — Deleted progress.

*2018-08-25, version 5.0*

I originally downloaded a previous version of the app (the free version) and completed around 9 of the practice tests, this version was brilliant. However I recently updated the app to which I opened it this morning to find all of my progress had been deleted and I had to pay £7.99 to access all of the practice tests available which I did not have to do before. I am greatly frustrated at this as the entirety of it is gone. Might as well delete the app and find another one which will not remove my progress due to an update.

### 1/5 — £7.99 to unlock the other mock tests 🙄

*2018-08-18, version 5.0*

This app is a joke, it used to be FREEE & now your charging people a WHOLE £8.00!! Not even £2.00 or £5.00 but a WHOLE £8.00!! This is financial abuse & needs to be stopped!

### 1/5 — Find alternative

*2018-08-16, version 5.0*

Was free before now after the update you have to purchase premium or only do 4 mock tests.

### 1/5 — Update ruined

*2018-08-02, version 5.0*

Reset all progress and removed access to tests we had before. Money grabber

### 5/5 — Amazing App

*2026-05-28, version 7.10.0*

This is the best app so far that I have used. Beautiful user flow and good if you want to pass your test in flying colours

### 5/5 — Perfect theory test app.

*2026-01-16, version 7.10.0*

Used this before to study for theory test, as well as the 4-in-1 theory DVSA app.

Quick note - the 300 mock marathon questions on “Easy” seem to be bugged where I complete despite answering a few wrong & it says 0 are incorrect, a bug perhaps.

### 5/5 — Really similar to real theory test

*2024-04-08, version 7.4.3*

This app has been a great help

It pushes you to attempt harder questions and tracks your progress 

I can’t wait to be more prepared to not fail my next theory attempt

### 5/5 — Amazing App

*2023-03-30, version 7.4.2*

Always had massive issues with procrastination and the first time I sat my theory I failed, but only because of the hazard perception. I got near enough full marks on multiple choice because of this app. Second time around (today) I resat my theory and passed with flying colors. Both times are a month apart and I crammed in about an hour or two of revision the day of and day before, and that’s it. The first time around I only revised in the taxi on the way to the test center. It’s crazy how exact these questions are to the point where 9/10 of the questions in the practice tests were the exact same as the ones in my actual theory. Well worth the money.

### 5/5 — Really good app!

*2022-08-09, version 7.0.1*

Used this app about 2 weeks before I was due to sit my theory. Did all the mock tests, really liked the challenge Bank as it keeps questions you didn’t get correct and keeps repeating them till you get correct. Gave you a percentage based on what you had completed on how likely you were to pass. 
With this app, I passed my theory today first time! Thank you!

### 5/5 — Passed with top marks

*2020-12-14, version 6.1*

Thanks to Thanks Genie and DVLA theory test app. I completed all practice/mock questions and scored 49 out of 50.

### 5/5 — Nick

*2020-08-04, version 6.0.3*

Excellent

### 5/5 — Paid version definitely worth it! And non paid isn’t bad either

*2020-07-15, version 6.0.3*

This is an amazing app to prep for you theory. I would 100% recommended purchasing the paid version ! I have been using this for a couple of days and this has been amazing. The best thing is that all the questions you get wrong it collects it in a bank and you can redo them!!!! It really helps me remember for next time !  Have my theory test this month:) hope I pass !

### 5/5 — Theory

*2020-02-28, version 5.4.3*

Great app used passed on my first time just forgot to leave my review from 2 years ago 
I am glad it was free at the time but worth the money and has more info then most apps

### 5/5 — This app is amazing

*2020-01-17, version 5.4.3*

I have downloaded a few apps but the layout wasn’t good, but this app is laid out so well and will easily make you pass also they offer lot for free and charge £7.99 for everything
