Or I did for a little bit then I stopped. I do find that it is very accurate and helpful. My main problem is that in the middle of practice tests there are ads. I don’t find that helpful, and I also find that very frustrating, since it is making me lose my focus. Overall great app. Thanks. ### 4/5 — Permit test *2023-06-06, version 2.9.0* Every time I get a question right the same as keeps popping up over and over again but other then that it is a good app ### 2/5 — Many questions aren’t similar to test *2021-08-09, version 2.9.0* I used the app to practice for a while and went through the questions multiple times. For me personally some of the more difficult questions that were on my permit test were not shown to me in the app so I was not prepared. I would recommend using a different app to study ### 4/5 — Great App *2021-01-17, version 2.9.0* I am feeling pretty content ### 5/5 — 10000/10 *2020-09-09, version 2.9.0* The real mva app is so bs they ask you easy question, but when you get to the mva they’re gonna ask you hard comprehensive question like this app 10/10 most definitely would recommend to anyone ### 4/5 — Its a good app *2020-08-31, version 2.9.0* So its really good for practicing but when u take practice test u pass if u get 4 wrong on the real learners test you fail at 4 and it would be nice if there was like a way to select a few questions then take a test outa those ### 5/5 — This App is perfect *2020-08-14, version 2.9.0* I know with this app and the book I’ll be able to pass my permit test I failed the first time but i know I’ll be able to pass this time ### 3/5 — I like it but. *2020-08-13, version 2.9.0* Very good app and very helpful too , but way too many adds . ### 4/5 — Stunning *2020-08-12, version 2.9.0* I really like this app it help a lot, it includes all the requirement needed to study and stuff but the only thing I wish it had a section for you to review your wrong answers after the tests. ### 5/5 — amazing *2020-07-23, version 2.9.0* Great ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Wronged *2024-12-14, version 2.9.0* I used this to study for a week before my permit test and there was no correlation with the questions and the test ### 1/5 — BOOTY *2024-03-03, version 2.9.0* bro it took me 30 tries to pass it ### 1/5 — PLEASE DO SOMETHING ABOUT THOSE ADS *2023-06-19, version 2.9.0* I understand you guys have to make money to provide the free service, but the ads are overkill.

Then you may use this app to test your knowledge but going through official website is MUST. ### 1/5 — Way too many ads! *2021-06-11, version 2.9.0* You get ads almost constantly ### 1/5 — Innacurate Answers & questions *2020-11-04, version 2.9.0* It has wrong wording which is different from the test. Not saying it should be word for word but they have quite a few of questions that are just incorrect. I failed my test. ### 1/5 — one star *2020-09-19, version 2.9.0* I’m giving this app one star because I failed my test. None of the questions that I did on here were on the test I did physically this is terrible do not get this app get a different one for Maryland. And you cannot review any of the wrong questions that you did Also this app is built terribly get a different one. Basically thinks you know everything. It doesn’t even teach you. ### 2/5 — Ads *2023-06-30, version 2.9.0* Too many ads!

I didn’t study consecutively until the week before I took my test. This app is great because it provides you with flashcards, accurate practice tests, and the pdf file of the Maryland Driver’s Manual. I didn’t think the practice tests were going to be beneficial, but it was extremely! I highly recommend using this app for your test. Good luck! ### 5/5 — Better then the book *2021-07-30, version 2.9.0* Studied it for a month did the marathon a few times it dont got everything but i went in and didn’t get a question wrong today on my learners ### 5/5 — It worksssss!!!! *2021-04-07, version 2.9.0* Guys trust me this app works i failed my test the first time because I did not study but when I used this app I definitely passed it in the second time now am a license holder!!!! ### 5/5 — Passed *2021-01-10, version 2.9.0* Questions were similar to the real thing ### 5/5 — The best app out there *2020-10-26, version 2.9.0* This is the BEST app I have found on the App Store for the permit test. ### 5/5 — passed *2020-09-22, version 2.9.0* Literally studied this for 3 days maybe & took my learners for the first time and passed!
