User reviews

Ham General

This app and the Ham Technician app are tremendously helpful in learning and drilling questions for the FCC Ham exams. I bought and read several of the study guides to learn the theory, but these apps are why I passed each test with 100% correct answers. Now I need to do the same for Ham Extra, with the app from the same publisher. Can not recommend with any higher praise, get and use this app.

It works

This app was well worth the money. It helped me pass the general exam in just three days of study.

Super useful, minor tweaks are all I can wish for

I loved being able to use this offline, and the review after a practice test, as many times as you wish, is what helped me to pass the General at the same time as my Tech. The only thing Iโ€™d like to add would explanations similar to the hamstudy site, and or notes that you can add for your own use, something you can review after you grade the test or select the answer on a flash card. Grey utility though, super fair price, and thanks!

Just passed

Just passed my General Exam. Now on to the Extra!!!

Gets the job done

The recent fix or update on Dec 2nd 2015 fixed the earlier crash issues. Thanks. All around a good app at a low price. I'd give 5 stars if it would keep better track of past exams and wrong answers but it does allow you to study weakness areas and by topic.
