You study on the go. ### 1/5 — ‘Lite’ *2021-09-15* Keep in mind that ‘lite’ doesn’t mean less features, it means less questions. Questions that are published for free by the FCC. Purchase of the ‘full’ version gives you access to all the free questions / modules provided by the FCC **Developer response:** Thanks for your review. As stated at the top of the description, the free version does contain all of the features, but not all of the questions. The point of the Lite/free versions of the apps is to let you try out the features. ### 5/5 — Signal strength is 5 by 9 for this app! *2019-03-07* Great app! Helped tremendously to get my Tech, General and Extra! Definitely recommend!!! ### 5/5 — Free version *2016-01-06* This app, which is the free version, is certainly worth the download. Gives an individual a chance to check out the app before purchasing. De KC4SIT ### 4/5 — FiveJ1 *2013-08-30* Great apps, I used the Tech & General and passed both tests the same night. I commute by public transportation and I loved being able to start tests and come back and finnish later. I'd write down my mistakes and study what I got wrong and before long I was making lots fewer mistakes. I like the test record keeping so you can track progress. ### 5/5 — Good study prep *2013-07-28* Passed my General license in 1962 at age 14 -- about time to upgrade. Looks like this app will help get this old brain ready for the Extra exam. 73 to all. ### 3/5 — Teaser App. *2013-07-11* Just another teaser app that only give a am idea of what the pay version will be like. There is nothing special about the presentation of the material. ### 5/5 — Extra class review *2013-06-09* Helped me pass first time! ### 4/5 — Good apps *2013-03-27, version 2.7.5* Good apps if you to go far in ham radio ### 5/5 — Informative *2013-02-27* I will be using this along with other stuff to ace the extra class exam ## Frequently asked questions about HAM Test Prep Lite ### What does this app do?
