Need update for new question pool.

This is a useful app for studying for the Canada basic exam. But a new question pool was introduced in 2025. The app is s using the old questions.

By far best app for studying

I’ve tried multiple apps, some of them paid, but this one is the most useful BY FAR. The way it organizes questions, rates your progress and keeps track of weaknesses makes studying for the basic exam a breeze.

Great tool

I got the app and used it to study and find areas I needed to study to make sure I passed on my first try VA7AUD

Great app

Must have for anybody preparing for basic exam in Canada

Great study tool!

This app is faster and easier to use than the government online practice exam generator. If you want to get into amateur radio, this app will be worth your time!

Best way to get these exams

You can start at almost any level, do some trial tests, see your weaknesses, go and read the books or go online and do a bit of study. Then come back and repeat the process until you are pretty well hitting 90% on all tests. You will then pass the test with ease. This makes this app the single best easy way to pass the exam. Don’t worry about what you do not understand, you will learn the hobby after you dive into it, there is always more to learn. Get the exam and get going!

Passed with honours. Thank you!

My wife and I both used this app to study for our exam and we both passed with honours because of it. It was great having it on our phones to study no matter where we were. We really liked the layout to study by section and especially the days prior to the exam to study by weakness. 73!

Thank you

So glad to see a Canadian based app as I am studying for my license. This will help greatly!

Errors

I can't trust this app and I don't know who to contact, besides the App Store to get a refund. So far I have found three errors, (see below), and can't continue, as it will be an inefficient use of my study time to check every question to be certain of it. I'll just study the online authoritative test.
I hope the author fixes the errors I found, and rechecks all the others, then it would be well worth the price, and very useful. Otherwise it is a hindrance to proper learning! Almost useless!

The three questions I found to be in error are:
B-004-3-1. The correct answer is PNP transistor, NOT an analytic capacitor.
B-006-4-10 the correct answer is it would increase, NOT decrease
B-007-8-1 the correct answer is scatter, NOT ground wave

97% Pass

This program was great for helping me study anywhere/anytime. Great resource to help you pass the exam. Highly recommend.

Good work!

Nice to be able to work through these questions on the iPad. The self test was a great idea. We'll done. Now, where's the Advanced?

Easy pass

Used the app after I completed the Coax Pub. study guide.

Passed the exam easily. Practice tests prepared me to do that and the work my way through the poorly written IC question bank with without stumbling though the hieroglyphic nature the questions.

Where's the app with the question bank for the Advanced test? I'm starting that study right now.
