### 1/5 — No description ?

*2026-02-18, version 1.4(3)*

Each question isn’t displayed. Defeats the whole purpose of a quiz !

### 1/5 — Worst app, fraud, zero accountability

*2025-12-04*

Doesn’t show any title, zero context or learning. WORST WORST WORST APP.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t Work!

*2025-04-21, version 1.4(3)*

Shows 4 different lights configurations, port, starboard, ahead & astern. There is NO DESCRIPTION to match them to!

### 1/5 — Rubbish

*2024-12-07, version 1.4(3)*

Do not bother poor quality no direction  absolute rubbish.i work on the sea on ctv.bought for a bit of training …….. s h I t e

### 1/5 — Too small

*2024-12-07, version 1.4(3)*

Unable to read. Text too small. Can’t get refund.

### 1/5 — Does not work

*2023-05-17, version 1.4(3)*

3 vessel light patterns are displayed but no vessel type to match with

### 2/5 — Great idea

*2023-03-11, version 1.4(3)*

And it worked the first time ….. but never again - kind dosent show the question anymore

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2022-08-29, version 1.4(2)*

Only $2.99, so can’t really complain too much.
Installed twice on iPhone SE, it opens to the test page, no headings, and no ui or menus.
App Store contact us is a website which you submit a ticket, however you cannot enter text or submit a ticket

### 4/5 — Need smaller labels

*2021-07-19*

While this is a great app, the labels need to either be smaller, or scroll across the screen. If the type of vessel is too long to fit across the screen, then you miss vital information. Alternatively, if you turn your screen to landscape mode, then the pictures are incredibly small and hard to see. 

Otherwise, very good app.

### 2/5 — Disappointing

*2021-04-14, version 1.3*

Perhaps useful for someone with only limited knowledge of lights, but random, rather than considered construction of the questions makes picking out the right card trivially easy (I’ve just gotten bored at 100/100), the information provided about the vessels depicted is very limited and the difficult lights (e.g. submerged objects, WIG craft etc are missing completely) making this a very partial revision tool. 2 stars only because it’s fairly cheap.
