### 4/5 — Pretty decent, could be better’

*2022-06-14, version 1.3.1*

Quite good! Could be better and a little more IOS native, but has what you need.

would be nice to see a comparison between the country you’re from vs going to!

### 1/5 — Annoying

*2016-02-11, version 1.1*

I haven't got as far as finding out whether this app gives complete and reliable information.  I will delete any app where I can't turn the sound off!

### 3/5 — Memory card lag

*2015-10-26, version 1.1*

Memory card game lags every time I ether make a match or not and it gives me less opportunity to win medium.

### 1/5 — Incomplete and misleading

*2015-03-29, version 1.1*

I found this app by accident (after looking for the EHIC card app for healthcare assistance in Europe) and hoped that this would be a comprehensive and very useful app for information and guidance about the basics of motoring law, regulations and requirements that need to be observed by motorists. Unfortunately it turns out that it is incomplete and unreliable and I'm just abou to delete it. At least it was free.

### 5/5 — Brilliant app!

*2014-06-25, version 1.0*

I do a lot of cross border driving from Ireland to Europe! This is very handy!

### 5/5 — SB

*2014-06-24, version 1.0*

Very useful. Lots of information.
