### 1/5 — Annoying

*2022-08-12, version 2.9.0*

Maybe if you got rid of the ads I wouldn’t lose my focus in what I’m trying to do

### 1/5 — Not good

*2022-02-28, version 2.9.0*

This app doesn’t have a lot to actually help us it’s confusing the photos and some of the questions are too they need to either update this to actually be able to help us with the test or delete the app

### 3/5 — useful but not

*2021-12-04, version 2.9.0*

this app is amazingly helpful but when you finish either the marathon or the test is doesn’t allow you to view the specific ones you got right or wrong. the way it does show it is with very vague pie charts that are very confusing. i also wish that is would allow you (for the short test) to choose a specific category like ‘laws’ or ‘situations’ along with the option it currently has of a random assortment of the questions

### 1/5 — Piece of garbage

*2021-12-03, version 2.9.0*

This app is terrible. It’s not from the DOT and some of the question’s are incorrect. I would not recommend anyone to use this app. 0 out of 5 stars.

### 5/5 — Very helpful

*2021-11-10, version 2.9.0*

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2021-03-25, version 2.9.0*

It doesn’t have everything that will show up on the test whoever made this app should delete himeself
