You will be happy you did. ### 5/5 — Best pow study app you will find *2018-03-07, version 1.2.8* Best app! Couldn’t have passed without it, helped guide me on what to study and how to study it instead of wasting time. Would recommend this app to anyone who is doing OOW. £100 is nothing if you really want to pass ### 5/5 — Worth every penny *2018-03-06, version 1.2.8* I found this to be only app that incorporates all the necessary information and more to help me prepare for my oral. The quizzes are well thought out and test every topic. It was one of the best aides to my studying and I still use it to keep up my knowledge today. There is no other app that comes close, and I would recommend this to anyone sitting an oral exam. Great work Fred ### 5/5 — A great investment. *2018-03-06, version 1.2.8* Great tool for revising and training. Strongly recommend. ### 5/5 — Thank you *2018-03-06* If it wasn’t for this app, I would have been in a lot of trouble before going into my OOW 3000GT Oral. Great app to get your mind into studying for your Officers ticket. Full of questions that cover the whole syllabus. I still use it to this day to recap on my knowledge, especially before heading to sea. Amazing app, worth every penny! ### 5/5 — Best OOW app out there *2018-03-06, version 1.2.8* This app is an absolute lifesaver when it comes to preparing yourself for an OOW oral exam. The only app that I have found that prepares you in enough depth. The lights section is very useful. Definitely worth the money if you are serious about getting your OOW. I spent an incredible amount of time on this app in 6 months previous to my exam and it definitely helped me pass. ### 5/5 — Best Oral Prep Quiz out there *2018-03-06, version 1.2.8* The app can seem pricey but the content is immense. The light section alone is the most complete quiz you can find on the whole appstore and really helps understand the rules. Each section covers the syllabus and gives a good idea of what is expected in the exam. The information contained inside is not available anywhere else for this price. A must for anyone who is serious of practicing their rules and regulations. ### 5/5 — Great in every aspect, helped me pass my OOW!! *2018-03-06, version 1.2.8* Great app!! ### 5/5 — Definitely worth it *2018-03-06, version 1.2.8* Great app, it’s definitely worth it. All of Fred’s apps, videos and teaching aids are 2nd to none. I wouldn’t have passed without them. Thanks Fred!! ### 5/5 — Best OOW app on the market *2018-03-06, version 1.2.8* Great app that not only helped me pass my OOW oral exam but also as a good memory jog for other courses later on (notably my YM Ocean exam and keeping on top of celestial Nav/sextant knowledge). Recommend to any aspiring OOW’s as a more effective use of those spare 5 minutes usually spent browsing social media ### 5/5 — Awesome Product from Fred, wouldn’t have passed without this guy! *2018-03-06, version 1.2.8* Awesome app, everything you need to help you pass the oral and refresh the correct way of answering questions! Also great to stop memory fade on those long lonely summers! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — App keeps crashing!! *2021-05-12, version 1.2.10* App keeps crashing, please fix ### 1/5 — Rubbish, waste of money *2017-08-04, version 1.2.8* Clearly rushed through the development stages. Lazily thrown together questioning format. Riddled with spelling and grammatical errors, which adds to he frustration of having spent 100 pounds on an app. I've gained almost no knowledge, if fact I'm worse off because I could have spent that time studying useful material. 10/10 with ten being the worst ### 2/5 — Plenty of bugs not much value for money *2020-05-02, version 1.2.10* The content you get is not really worth the money. It could easily do with an actual copy of the IRPCS for easy reference. Additionally flags and a flag quiz would also be very helpful. Some of the quiz’s are pretty bare, overall needs more content for the price. ### 3/5 — Please Update *2024-04-22, version 1.3.0.0* App is great, just needs to be updated with the latest publications and regulation's. ### 3/5 — Bouyage, Flags & Morse *2023-04-13, version 1.3.0.0* Question 21 about bouyage with a special mark going against the direction of bouyage it give the anser as alter to port were you should alter to starboard ### 3/5 — Too expensive *2020-04-06, version 1.2.10* For what it is it’s too expensive (clearly targets the yacht crew have money). Lots of bugs & isn’t that up to date. Lots of answers are short without any explanation as another person wrote. It can help with revision but not a great overall app. ### 3/5 — Needs an update *2019-04-29, version 1.2.9* This app is expensive for what it is. The explanation of a wrong answer has me going to outside resources to find out what I got wrong. I would also like to be able to go through the answers when I have finished a quiz and see where I went wrong. Plus the app crashes on a semi regular bases. ### 5/5 — Elated OOW Pass! *2021-11-24, version 1.3.0.0* All Fred’s online apps are amazing! They are relevant, easy to follow and to the point! If you want to pass an exam or even just to broaden your knowledge this is the way to go. Trying to do it yourself is overwhelming and ineffectual! 100 % recommended! ### 5/5 — Must have app for training towards your OOW 3000 *2021-09-21, version 1.3.0.0* This app is great! I used it leading up to my OOW 3000 (passed the first time) and still use it all the time now to keep myself fresh with the COLREGS, lights, buoyage, GMDSS, ISM etc.. Highly recommend for any aspiring officer as well as a qualified officer. ### 5/5 — Start with this *2020-12-06, version 1.2.10* To realise how much you don’t know and then get the videos and learn what you need too ! ## Most praised reviews (7 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Money well spent *2019-05-07, version 1.2.9* Definitely recommend ### 5/5 — Passed me my oral *2018-04-01, version 1.2.8* This app is amazing. I used Fred’s long distance prep to pass my OOW first time. Using this app in the lead up to my exam was essential. The lights section is better than any other app out there. The whole app is set out to make you pass the oral, covering many tricky to answer questions. Get the app early and go through it time and time again and you’ll pass your exam. ### 5/5 — Highly recommended *2018-03-20, version 1.2.8* Hands down the most useful revision tool available for those looking to pass their MCA OOW. Would recommend anyone , really handy way to test your knowledge. The way that Fred has put the app together makes it very good at highlighting gaps in your knowledge which is absolutely key when it comes to gaining all the knowledge needed to pass the exam. It's aimed at those who are a fair way along in studies so if you are fairly fresh to the subject expect to find a lot of areas that you don't quite understand. Use this as a starting point to investigate and further your knowledge... ### 5/5 — Great! *2018-03-08, version 1.2.8* A great app for those wanting to pass their OOW. The in depth quizzes help ensure that you know the basic fundamentals needed before going to sit your OOW prep. Fred is an excellent distance teacher and his full prep course is fantastic. ### 5/5 — Passed first time! *2018-03-07* This was recommended to me by friends that have passed first time. This app is awesome. It does what it says on the box. Without it I would have failed, no question. There are some minor spelling and grammar mistakes, but it's not a spelling app. Great app, worth EVERY penny! ### 5/5 — Value for money *2018-03-07, version 1.2.8* The content in this app is immense. In depth and the answers explain where you went wrong to make sure you keep on improving. It covers the whole syllabus, and teaches you to answer the questions in the way the examiners expect. Definitely worth the investment ### 5/5 — Great revision tool! *2018-03-07, version 1.2.8* This is a comprehensive quiz to test many elements of the OOW exam. I particularly like the in-depth lights and rules sections. This is the best revision app I have seen. I would say it’s an essential tool to passing first time! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
