Also some questions mark the wrong answer as correct. ### 2/5 — Review *2026-02-02, version 4.9.5* Cannot study the questions in order. App shuffles them every time you sign in. Not an effective way to study. ### 3/5 — Good try *2025-09-22, version 4.9.4* The app is helpful for practicing, but there are some issues. When you get an answer wrong, it should clearly show the correct answer to support learning. The English wording of some questions is technically correct but overly scientific or unnatural, which makes them harder to understand than necessary. Also, the “Learn Questions” section doesn’t update progress even after answering many questions, which is frustrating. With these fixes, the app would be much more effective. ### 4/5 — Questions and wording more than less the same *2025-09-04, version 4.9.4* The questions and wording is mostly the same, the test at the test centre gives instant feedback just like the app. I still get the feeling not all questions are exactly right on the test so i think the developer should double check with the DLV. The app was overall useful and helpful, but needs polishing up a tad. Scored 96/100 on the theory test in Shanghai. Its very useful but there are definitely a couple mistakes on the English vers of the app, however the app was 99% perfect and very useful for passing the test. ### 4/5 — Helpful *2025-01-14, version 4.9.2* Very helpful for exam ### 5/5 — I got my license *2024-12-09, version 4.9.2* So useful, thank you really much ### 5/5 — Unprofessional and Unreliable! Avoid this Company! *2024-12-02* This company completely failed to deliver what I paid for. They claimed to know how to handle translations for official use in China, but their actions proved otherwise. First, they asked me to give them my Chinese name to include it in the translation, informed them that my Chinese name wasn’t official and couldn’t be used for legal purposes, yet they ignored this and included it in the translation anyway. When I submitted the document to the police at traffic department, it was rejected because of this invalid name. Second, they didn’t follow the proper formatting requirements. For legal purposes, the translation and the original document need to be on the same page and sealed, but they put everything on separate papers. This made the documents invalid and caused the police to reject my documents. Not only did they waste my money and time, but when I contacted them to fix their mistakes, they completely ignored me. I don’t recommend this company to anyone. They are unprofessional, unreliable, and unresponsive. Save yourself the trouble and go elsewhere. ### 3/5 — So good app but expensive *2024-11-21, version 4.9.2* App is so good. But really expensive. This app includes all exam questions and working so good. So useful ### 2/5 — Bugs *2024-10-28* I paid for this APP. No progress is being saved. I finished the 50 question segment and the APP closed to my Home Screen. I opened it back up and there was still no progress saved. Besides that there are various grammatical errors (which could actually be on the English version of the test, I’m assuming). Any fixes for this? Pretty unacceptable for a $12 USD purchase. ### 1/5 — Копи паст = нажива *2024-09-13* Народ, приложение платное. Зачем платить «хитрому» разработчику, если вы можете воспользоваться оригиналом данного приложения в Wechat. Не ведитесь на это разводилово. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Don’t waste your time *2026-07-02* This app doesn’t actually teach you anything if you are reviewing questions. When you get something wrong, there’s no correct answer shown or explanation. It’s riddled with incorrect information and poor translations. It’s just a quick cash grab app that doesn’t have the users in education in mind. I want a refund. ### 1/5 — Needs work *2026-01-26, version 4.9.5* This is a good app, but needs the ability to save the questions you have trouble with, so you can study them again. ### 1/5 — Started to crash, lost my progress *2025-11-14, version 4.9.4* One day it wouldn’t want to open anymore and just crashed back to the Home Screen. Reinstalling fixed the problem but now I lost dozens of hours of progress ### 1/5 — Awful translation *2025-09-07, version 4.9.4* So many questions make no sense. I’ve been driving for over 20 years and I can understand what half of these questions mean. If you haven’t, please have a native English speaker help when writing these questions. This app sux ### 1/5 — 장난치냐 *2025-07-07* 이걸 앱이라고 만들었냐 개새들아? 결재했는데 개 그지 같네. 저장도 안되고 ### 1/5 — False Claims *2025-03-20, version 4.9.3* While the simulated exam is good, the claims that they translate and notarize documents are entirely false. After asked what language the documents needed to be translated from and to, I was told they “Don’t translate for Shanghai” After explaining I’m not in Shanghai, I was told to go to my local traffic police station. I asked if they had what was needed to translate my documents and they repeated “Don’t translate for Shanghai” Not only were they not helpful, they now have copies of my documents. I fear this may be the actual purpose of the offer to translate uploaded documents. Beware! ### 1/5 — The app isn’t updated to the theory questions in the exam *2025-02-13, version 4.9.3* I failed multiple theory tests in China despite using this app and passing it and it telling me I had an ‘excellent’ knowledge of the answers. It doesn’t update to the current questions, I saw many in the exam that aren’t on the app. There’s a Chinese version of this and if you can use, use this as this is really only half way useful if you want to pass the exam quickly ### 1/5 — Deceptive app. *2025-02-02, version 4.9.3* There is no free version. It costs $12. If you don’t pay you can only see 20 of the 1000 questions which is completely useless app. ### 1/5 — Translations don’t make too much sense *2025-01-07, version 4.9.2* Also the answers tend to change from time to time. Weird. ### 1/5 — DO NOT USE *2024-09-18, version 4.9.2* The app is super inefficient without buying the subscription, and even after buying the image for each question does not align with question. The reporting option is absolutely useless, and all options are hard to understand which is hard to believe this app is developed by a normal human being ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Lifesaver *2026-04-10* I was recommended this app by a friend a few weeks before taking the test and all I can say is if you’re planning to take the test you can’t go wrong with this. It’s as close to exactly the same as the test as you can get. ### 5/5 — Got me 96 points *2026-03-26, version 4.9.5* This is the only app you need. It has every question that may appear and it seems to be updated frequently. Practise every question until it says you know or at least partially know all of them. Great app. ### 5/5 — Driving licence passed *2025-11-18, version 4.9.4* Perfect, thank you for preparation. Questions in English almost same like at exam. ### 5/5 — Good *2025-10-23* Good ### 5/5 — 好好 *2025-09-24* 这个老外驾驶考试app帮我很多。我一开始学习考试的时候我不知道该怎么学习。但是我朋友告诉我这个app我直接下载了。这个app会帮你们合格考试。推荐！ ### 5/5 — Спасибо ! *2025-06-15* Выучили , катаемся по Китаю и посмеиваемся ! ### 5/5 — Accurate *2025-05-21, version 4.9.4* Just passed in Beijing. Questions were word for word the same as the test, as well as the pictures. Practice with this app a bunch, and you’ll pass no problem. The feature that banks your mistakes for further review is ideal. ### 5/5 — Disappointed *2025-01-30* I never did get the up 600+ questions I paid for now I can’t even bring up the original questions ### 5/5 — Great app! *2025-01-15, version 4.9.3* I wanted to thank you for this app, which allowed me to pass the Chinese driving license test on my first attempt today. The questions I encountered were exactly the same as the ones I practiced with. I even received compliments from the traffic police. In the small town where I took the exam, no one would have bet on the foreigner, but I scored 97/100. Maximum stars—thank you again! ### 5/5 — Passed 100% *2024-12-12, version 4.9.2* Spent 2 weeks practicing with this app and I passed first time with 100 out 100 questions correct. Definitely worth it! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
