It’s like is drops the last half the question. G4A04 and G0A10 two examples. There are many more. Switching to another app. ### 2/5 — Great study but outdated question pool *2019-03-02, version 1.61* I used this for studying along with the ARRL study guide and discovered many of the question references (ie TB206) in the app do not correspond to the questions in the official ARRL 4th edition (July 1st 2018 to June 30th 2022) study book. Which means the question pool used in this app is not up to date with the current test pool used by ARRL for license testing. ### 3/5 — Bad UI *2019-12-07, version 1.72* I just started using this to study for the general class exam. About every fourth question does not completely show up in the question box. The result is you have no idea what they are asking for. This user interface error need to get fixed for the app to be useful. ### 3/5 — No landscape mode on iPad? *2018-07-08, version 1.61* While I find this a handy tool for studying on the go. I purchased due to the fact it also had an iPad app. No landscape mode is a deal breaker for me. ### 3/5 — The Only Choice *2017-05-11, version 1.61* In reviewing the paid version I'm going to assume ARRL has been compensated for supplying the question bank. Full, updated bank, but the tests appear to be random instead of representing all the sections, so very unrealistic. No final score given, despite years of user requests on this. ### 4/5 — No Back Arrow, Why? *2019-04-25, version 1.70* A back arrow in the study section sure would be nice. I can’t tell you how many times I have double tap the arrow to advance to the next question, and end up skipping a question The question text could be a little bit larger. It is placed in a large gray box, and it only uses about 1/10 of it In the words of Carl Sagan... ”seems like an awful waste of space.” ### 4/5 — Interesting format *2016-09-05, version 1.53* Straight out memorization! I'm in trouble ### 5/5 — Great prep for exam *2018-08-08, version 1.61* I used this app for 2 days prior to the exam in addition to a reference book that I used for about 3 weeks and passed the exam with no surprises at all on the exam. The fact that you have access to mock exams anywhere and anytime is super convenient to study for a minute or an hour. ### 5/5 — Great app *2018-05-08, version 1.61* I used this along with a study guide I found on the internet. With this app I was able to pass both the Technician and General first try. I like the fact that you get instant feedback on the correct or incorrect answer. I also tried several other apps but this was the best one I found ## Most praised reviews (4 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Ham *2017-03-29, version 1.53* I really like this app. Easy to use during my breaks and lunch time. Excellent thank you ### 5/5 — Good app *2016-07-12, version 1.53* I've used this under ios9 on a iphone6 and an iPad mini without problems. I was able to take tests for all 3 US licenses with current pools. We're a couple of weeks out from the new extra pool, and the new questions are already in here. Good price for the entire package, so I've no complaints. Thanks! ### 5/5 — Passed! *2015-12-05* Studied up to the minute before the exam. THANK YOU! ### 5/5 — Systematic study possible! *2015-04-07, version 1.2* I love being able to take one category at a time and move on to the next. Makes my study feel so much less random! This subject is new to me, so tackling it in related chunks helps a lot! Thanks! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
