Excellent

Superb practice!

Lag

There’s a huge lag on where the flags are placed on each video. Feels like im being gaslighted by the app. Im also being penalised for clocking too many times even though there’s multiple hazards and there’s 5 points available per hazard which would surely result in 10 clicks? Still handy doing the tests as each one is explained after. £2.99 for that though? Poor

Could be better a lot better

Apparently I have a better hazard perception than the official app and get penalised for it. You have to tap at the exact time and don’t go overboard or you get zero points.

Thank you for your review. TSO Ltd is the official publishing partner for the Driver & Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA). Our material uses a marking criteria for practice that is as close as possible to the live test. Each clip is marked out of 5, based on how quickly you spot a potential hazard and then how quickly it develops, requiring you as the driver to then take action (for example, braking, changing speed or direction). If you would like to discuss this further, please feel free to contact our team on feedback@williamslea.com. Many thanks, TSO

Introduction part not playing

Since I bought this app I can’t play the introduction part , the introduction part refuses to play and I use an iPhone pro max . What actually is the issue ? I think this app need updating

Hazard perception

This has been an excellent tool. It is surprisingly fun to use on the phone. It has definitely helped me to be a more aware driver.

Introductory video doesn’t play - no help offered

They strongly advise watching the introduction video because it explains the test, but after a couple of reinstalls it still doesn’t play and there is no transcript and no contact details for technical help that I can see - only a bunch of circular FAQs that don’t contain the solution.

Okay

So I don’t mind this app at all very good for what you need it for the only thing I will say is the way the videos work is not great, screen orientation is messed up tells you turn your phone landscape and the screen is missing, then having to turn it portrait again after every single video is an absolute joke when you pay for this app….

You don’t get anything for your money

Don’t buy this. It’s only 30 outdated clips in low resolution that makes it extremely hard to see the hazards. These aren’t the current clips either so it’s not of any use to prep. One of the clips has 4 major developing hazards including a kid running towards the road from your left which isn’t counted. Waste of money.

Response from developer

Thank you for your review. The CGI clips are totally acceptable to prepare for the test – they help the user identify a developing hazard. The quality of the clips are sufficient to do this job. The majority of clips we offer are the same concept and scoring mechanism as the real test with points 1-5 awarded. DVSA experts have been involved in setting the scoring windows for all our tests. If you wish to discuss this further, please feel free to contact us on feedback@williamslea.com. Many thanks, TSO

Good

Very helpful

The best app EVER

5* for this app, has helped me! Still awaiting to pass but I’ll get there!

All you need

Honestly it’s just perfect

Scam

While the Highway Code test is an obvious requirement.
The hazard perception test is a scam to enable a private company and the government to steal our money.
Also, If you pass your test and do not pass a practical test within two years it becomes a worthless piece of paper. Therefore, adding blackmail to theft.

Update Needed

Another update is needed
Frequently when rewatching the clip to review your score or skip to the next clip, it only shows 1/4 of the screen, necessitating turning the phone portrait to make it full screen but being given the same message again and again

Mark

Rip off and detrimental to passing.The test is CGI not real video. I want a refund. App deleted after 10 minutes of installing it.

Not very useful

I recently purchased the full DVSA app to prepare for my driving theory test. However, I've been experiencing a frustrating issue with the hazard perception section. The app randomly exits full screen and switches to portrait mode, displaying only part of the video. This forces me to keep rotating my screen to get it back to normal, which is disrupting my preparation.

My partner also decided to get the app for me on her iPad, thinking it might work better, but Im encountering the same problem. Waste of money and app space

IJ

Maybe it will be good app, but it’s say u can do only 3 clicks per hazard, on induction video and real test are big difference in what they say, my personal opinion is this programs didn’t teach how to understand, they just exist and show what maybe you get in exam…. Disappointed completely
