## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 2/5 — Quite a few incorrect answers

*2015-06-11*

Easy to use however as of June 2015 - the current version has at least 2 incorrect answers that I've run into.   Question B-001-007-005 and B-003-010-009, there could be more and it makes this app hard to trust.

### 4/5 — Good for ham study

*2016-04-18*

It's a decent app to learn the test questions. Can't beat the price.

### 4/5 — OK for free

*2016-01-28*

Using it to prep for my advanced test. It would be nice to have some 'instruction' or 'explanation' screens but what do you expect for free?!

### 4/5 — Very useful

*2015-11-10*

Found this app to be simple to use and very useful for studying and practicing taking the Amateur Radio exam. I used it for my Advanced exam but it also covers the Basic exam too. 

There were a few mistakes in v1.3 which I have reported to the author, but this should not detract from an otherwise very useful app.

### 5/5 — A good stable app.

*2020-11-21*

Good change of pace from the textbook.

### 5/5 — Basic and Advanced

*2018-01-05*

Awesome app. I had no problems with incorrect answers and it was extremely helpful in studying for both Canadian licences. I achieved 93% on basic and 96% on the advanced.

### 5/5 — Basic with Honours thanks to this app

*2017-07-19*

As test prep I found this app to be indispensable. I bounced between this app and the Industry Canada test but this app is way more user friendly and flexible. The Industry Canada website gives statistical feedback at the end of the exam which is useful but the practice test itself is awkward compared to this app. I also liked using the app as a study aid. If you're prepping for your basic get this app it's worth it!

### 5/5 — If you want to pass the test!

*2017-03-24*

Great way to test your knowledge.  Great way to practice prior to writing the exam.

### 5/5 — Great app! Thank you!

*2016-07-26*

### 5/5 — Great app
