### 1/5 — The question are good

*2016-11-11*

It is really good for practicing but be aware many on the times the results don't match it will show a wrong answer even though you've put the correct answer I was using this app for a wile when I've notice this. I am using another app which is a lot better however I will always advise to buy the books and use the apps in addition

### 1/5 — Not enough test questions!

*2016-05-20, version 1.1*

Isn't enough questions to revise! Gives you the same questions every single time you take tests. Ridiculous

### 1/5 — This is Not the official app

*2016-02-04, version 1.1*

This is a cheap knock off, do not buy the book, do not buy this app, it will make you fail... Look for the official book and app from the actual government website NOT! lifeintheuk.net

### 1/5 — 0 star rated app

*2016-01-20, version 1.1*

This Does not even deserve a single star. The way the tests are made it make it even difficult for people to pass.

### 1/5 — App useless

*2016-01-16, version 1.1*

Wasting my money and I didn't get what I want I don't recommended at all, save your money guy's

### 1/5 — Very disappointed

*2015-10-28, version 1.1*

My test is after 2 days and this app is completely taking me to fail don't buy it waste of money and most important it's very unhelpful for the test in fact anyone use it for help practice for the test must fail.

### 1/5 — Please fix bugs before selling

*2015-02-14*

Getting incorrect scores.
Displays red bar (too bright and harsh) when incorrect. 
Many times marked incorrect and when clicked to find out right answer, it showed that the answer I had selected was correct in the first place. Same thing happened with other tests too.
The app doesn't know what it's doing.

### 1/5 — This is not the right app

*2026-04-17*

I took the official test yesterday and failed because half the questions I was given were nowhere in the practice tests for this app. Plus the book the app comes with is not the right one either!!! The home office book is the only correct one.

### 1/5 — Worthless at all…

*2025-08-24*

I’ve passed my exams and I’m happy that I didn’t waist my time with that app… no match with real exam questions totally… I’ve just throw away my money...

### 1/5 — Old!

*2024-03-03*

The app is old and has not been updated for ages. It still refers to the monarch as Queen. 
Also the interface is terrible. You have to go back to each question separately to check the answer. It is better in the pc which is not the point.

### 1/5 — poor app design. Outdated question. cannot record wrong answers

*2024-01-28*

Dont show wrong answered question directly
you have to click in each question to check them one by one

Outdated question 

Waste of money

### 1/5 — I want my money back

*2023-08-21*

The book is ok but I entered to study with app it is horrendous I would like my money back. It doesn’t even show how to get it. Poor quality interface and its not the best friendly to understand the service they give, please refund my money

### 1/5 — Do not use this App!

*2021-09-07*

I read the book and did about 50 practice tests. I failed my test. There were 3 questions from this app on the test, the rest was questions I have never seen before! Worst App to use for life in Uk exam!

### 1/5 — Would not recommend at all.

*2020-07-01*

After a test, it doesn’t tell you which questions you got wrong, it only gives your score broken down by chapter. It doesn’t even tell you which questions were for each chapter, so it’s difficult to work out which ones were wrong on your own. 

Its fine if all you want to do is test yourself, but it’s terrible as an actual revision tool.

### 1/5 — Require updating not user friendly

*2018-09-10*

It’s says has more than 1500 questions but it doesn’t show all of them. Also interface of the app is bit naff not great at all and it’s not optimised for iPhone X.

### 1/5 — False advertising 👎

*2018-04-28*

“Free online practical tests” “Free access with this book” written on the cover of the 2018 “Life in the UK Test Practice Questions” book. 

Then the app costs £3

### 1/5 — Hopeless, do not waste your money on this app

*2017-02-10*

This app truly has been written by a squirrel! 

I would love to demand my money back, the app is extremely buggy! 
- App is not exactly compatible with newer resolutions. 
- The test summary is not accurate at highlighting correct/incorrect answers. 
- the scores are not correctly calculated.
- irrespective of the score, it seems I have always managed to pass, even after scoring less than the prescribed 18 correct answers.
- questions are repetitive in nature.

Please look to other free apps which are much more functional and offer better value. The lack of finesse makes me doubt their printed material.

Please look else where!

### 5/5 — Need a update

*2015-08-01*

App is ok. But in some points need a update, sometimes shows wrong answers, and in this moment some laws are changed, so need a update

### 5/5 — Mr

*2014-03-26*

This app had no reviews but something pulled me towards it. It is £1.99 and I paid it and I must say its a great app. 100% what it should be like. After downloading 5/6 other apps for life in the UK this app instantly got addictive and educative. A MUST. Don't buy any others, this is the one, my wife passed by doing just this alone for 5 days. She got 21 marks.

### 3/5 — Quite basic App, needs development

*2025-01-31*

The app is quite basic and has a few bugs. The scores are most times incorrect. It doesn’t clearly show you which answers were wrong unless you open one by one. It doesn’t allow you to review failed questions or previous test answers. If there was any better app (which I don’t really know), I wouldn’t recommend.

### 3/5 — 17/24 says passe this is actually not!

*2021-03-30*

I’m doing this test but say 17/24 that I’m passd which is actually not tru since it has to be 75% and 17/24 is around 70%. This is a bug!

### 3/5 — Buggy but useable

*2018-05-09*

15/24 is not a pass, despite what the app claims.
Detailed Summary page: being able to swipe left or right for previous / next answers would be great.
Also the explanations at the bottom are in an unnecessarily tiny font but still require scrolling, which isn’t easy due overlap with the iOS Control Centre gesture.

### 2/5 — Not worth it

*2023-02-05*

The app overall is pretty ok,there is a good layout,it is cheap and easy to use.The tests tho are quite repetitive and after few sessions you will find the same questions all over again.

### 2/5 — Not a good option

*2020-11-09*

The app is full of bugs and the results are showing a pass with 16 out of 24. It’s not a good tool and I have now purchased the official one. Waste of money!

### 2/5 — Full of bugs

*2017-10-22*

I am yet to take the test, and using this app to measure my knowledge, find out which parts of the book I should read again.
As someone pointed out 3 years ago(!) the app is full of bugs, especially the results page. Example: I've scored 24/24, but it says that I scored 86% only on chapters 5 and 6.
Another: scored 22/24, but had only one wrong answer.

### 2/5 — Poor quality control

*2016-06-12*

Overall helpful questions to learn from and a good counter to the official app. However, they seem to not have fully tested the application prior to release. There are times they have marked questions as red/incorrect but when you review the question it shows answers as correct. Other times it says you got 15/24 right, but claims you passed. I don't think the scoring can be fully trusted!  Shame.

### 2/5 — Feels like a beta version

*2014-06-19*

This app is recommended in the Official Life in the UK Practice Questions book and on the official website, so you'd think it'd be fully road tested, right? Wrong. There are bugs all over the shop- in particular in the Detailed Summary section after you've completed a test, where right and wrong answers don't always match the corresponding red and green colours, the numbers correct/wrong don't always add up with what the Summary screen says and there are spelling mistakes.
