Thank you! *2021-01-10, version 3.0.0* Love it! ### 5/5 — Great Application *2020-12-08* I’ve been using the free version. So far it’s a great application. I’ve been studying for my Tech license and this had made it much more appealing. ### 5/5 — Great study guide *2020-12-06* Use this for my technician exam. Was a great help to successfully pass the test. Highly recommend it. Ken Ducote KF0BGO ### 5/5 — Great *2020-10-27, version 3.0.0* This a great study tool. Very helpful. ### 5/5 — Very helpful *2020-10-06* Any spare time I have I can quickly do some practice questions. Very helpful. ### 5/5 — Passed Tech after 2 hrs with the app *2020-08-07* Passed my tech test on the first try, with no prior knowledge, after two hours of studying with the app. ### 5/5 — Great study app, very helpful and easy to use. *2020-02-18* This app is awesome, I’m just using the lite version now and it’s been great to test my knowledge for the technician exam. Highly recommend. ### 4/5 — Great App *2019-08-01, version 2.9.3* Study using this - 26 correct answers & you are qualified ### 5/5 — Awesome app *2018-05-01* If you are studying for the technicians exam, go ahead and spend the money to get this app, you will not regret it! I have the app as well as the ham radio license manual (which you really don’t need if you get this app)going on Saturday to take test I am passing on average 13 out of every 15 practice test with this app so I’m confident this app has helped me out a lot, and I will pass my exam. ### 5/5 — Works great *2018-04-21* I like how they let you take a pre test and a practice test and has a study guide. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — I’m sure it’s a decent app but... *2020-06-09, version 2.9.5* The non lite version with all levels of Ham Radio Operator practice tests are available on Android devices for free. It’s crap to have to pay $15+ (for all levels of testing). ### 1/5 — HRE-Tech is actually free and easier to use *2019-06-19* This only has 2 of 10 modules and the interface is clunky. HRE-Tech is totally free and has all of them. I’ve been using both but the questions in this app are limited so I use the other more. **Developer response:** Thanks for the review. This app allows you to try out the full app before you buy. E-mail me at support@patrickjmaloneyllc.com if you have any questions. ### 1/5 — Several Errors *2016-10-22, version 2.8* I've use this app daily for a week--and I count at least 9 questions where the correct answer changes each time. Avoid. Buggy. ### 1/5 — Doesn't do much educationally. Free version useless. *2016-03-26, version 2.8* I'm ok with free and paid apps but I dislike apps that are deceptive. Don't bother downloading this one unless you want to pay for a very basic review. ### 3/5 — Roaddawg 601 *2022-06-16, version 3.0.0* Best training tool I’ve used so far. ### 3/5 — Good app *2020-10-08, version 3.0.0* Good for practice tests as free but would be nice if we could get more features for the free app ### 3/5 — Very helpful for quick reviews *2015-05-02, version 2.8* Highly recommend this app to anyone studying for technician exam. ### 3/5 — Good For The Price *2012-10-11, version 2.7.1* Ok, but not enough variety of topics. ### 4/5 — Ham radio *2021-10-01* Easy to access and understand ### 4/5 — Technician testPrep *2020-04-27, version 2.9.5* Excellent app, great preparation for the technician ham test. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Excellent resource *2025-04-20, version 3.2.0* great practice test review ### 5/5 — Just what I Need! *2024-03-28* I have a Tech license but thinking of the General.. program is just what I need!
