Especially I could study to take the test for me permeant. ### 5/5 — 7/12 *2025-07-12, version 2.9.42* This app is very helpful ### 5/5 — 5 star app *2025-07-05, version 2.9.42* Definitely helped me study and understand more ### 5/5 — App *2025-06-30, version 2.9.42* Great app! ### 5/5 — Wow *2025-05-10, version 2.9.42* ❤️ ### 4/5 — Odd bug with ads *2025-03-04, version 2.9.42* Great app Helped me build confidence I just wish that ads would not automatically open to the app store, causing the app to freeze. Only select ads ### 3/5 — To many ads *2025-03-01, version 2.9.42* Better apps to use but I’m too lazy ### 5/5 — Super *2025-01-02, version 2.9.42* It’s good ### 5/5 — Passed ! *2024-12-22, version 2.9.42* From firts time to try this app and just got the test right after and I passed it! ### 5/5 — it’s so good *2024-12-21, version 2.9.42* use this to study i used it and passed with a 20/20 😁😁😁 ### 5/5 — Great for practice *2024-10-18, version 2.9.42* Downloaded this app two days ago and took the practice tests until I was passing consistently. Took the marathon test today just an hour and a half before my NYS permit test and I passed with 19/20 questions answered correctly. This is a great app to use to study for your drivers permit test! ### 2/5 — Not good *2024-09-20, version 2.9.42* App is quite good but irritating adds all the times in every 1/2 minutes. This made me very disappointed about the app. ### 5/5 — Great, but one thing… *2024-08-28, version 2.9.42* I like this app it’s really great. There are flashcards or just a list of all the questions and the answers (that are easy to understand). (Only thing is unless an explanation is in the answer or you find it in the manual there aren’t any actual explanations.) You can even access the actually NYS Driving Manual right on the app. There is a statistic option to view your progress and how well you’re doing. The marathon test has 208 questions and the practice test has 20. What is bothering me is that the practice test keeps cutting me off at 14 questions and then showing me my grade. But when I go to my statistics almost all my tests are unfinished because I was unable to answer all 20 questions. Otherwise it’s great and the only thing that you would have to pay for is no ads. Which the ads aren’t that bad you can skip them within 5 seconds and most of them are other practice test apps. ### 5/5 — Helped me pass my permit on first try *2024-08-21, version 2.9.42* I’ve been using this app for so little and at first I kept failing my tests but immediately after I started getting passing scores and mostly 100% correct! This has helped me so much and definitely recommend to any person studying for the permit. ### 5/5 — Great *2024-08-12, version 2.9.42* Is easy ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Way too many ads *2025-03-21, version 2.9.42* The program is ok, however there are way too many ads that you can’t click off of. It’s annoying and makes the app not joyable to study from. I’m clueless to how people are giving this app such high ratings. ### 1/5 — Ads *2024-12-16, version 2.9.42* You have to wait 30 seconds after each question. ### 1/5 — ads *2024-07-16, version 2.9.42* these ads are so inappropriate, my 15 yr old should not be subject to this ### 1/5 — This app made me crash *2024-06-12, version 2.9.42* I was on a viral Ig reels vid, now I’m a nugget. ### 1/5 — Bloated with adds *2024-05-05, version 2.9.42* Too many adds ### 1/5 — I need take permit test online *2023-08-14, version 2.9.42* I need take the permit test online ### 1/5 — Too much adds *2023-08-11, version 2.9.42* Adds coming up every 1 minute. ### 1/5 — Lagging shut down all the time *2023-04-03, version 2.9.42* When you passing the test, on the middle of 20 questions, the app just shut down.. unreal to pass the test ### 1/5 — Good but needs to be updated *2020-08-05, version 2.9.42* It might just be because of Mrs Rona but I got questions that weren’t on the test. I still passed but I only got a 14/20 even though I passed with higher score on the app every time. I do have testing anxiety so that might be why. I memorized the questions but a few questions on the test weren’t on the app. It’s good for general stuff but don’t depend on it like I did, good luck ### 1/5 — Spanish *2020-02-04, version 2.9.0* Hey, I love the app but I have trouble reading English. Is there gonna be a Spanish translation or Spanish version soon? Thank you. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — DMV *2026-07-30, version 2.9.42* A really great app ### 5/5 — Perfect *2026-06-27, version 2.9.42* Good ### 5/5 — Super helpful!! *2026-06-02, version 2.9.42* This app helped me ace my permit test! I really like the look and the feature of the flash cards!! Super easy I was able to do it on the train on the way to and from work! Also the marathon test was perfect for helping me feel ready. ### 5/5 — Drivers test *2026-02-28, version 2.9.42* I’m pretty nervous but this app really helps ### 5/5 — Top of them *2026-01-03, version 2.9.42* Top of them ### 5/5 — Identical to the real permit test *2025-12-31, version 2.9.42* So just took my permit and passed. I studied for like a day until I got at least 1 out of 20 wrong or all correct and when I tell you the nyc real permit test is copy and paste I’m not joking it’s literally the same damn thing this app is worth studying for !! I waited till I was 20 years old to go in because I was scared I was going to fail and wish I had known this app had all the questions and answers I needed word for word. ### 5/5 — Thanks for all the help *2025-11-26, version 2.9.42* I have been using the app to study for my test it has made taking the tests less of a stressful experience I always feel overwhelmed by taking tests but the repetitive practice has helped me get accustomed to the testing process thanks a lot for the help ### 5/5 — Great for NYC Permit *2025-11-24, version 2.9.42* Yes it may have glitches or ads but it’s pretty good. They go though the majority of everything subject . passed 20/18! ### 5/5 — Thanks *2025-10-28, version 2.9.42* Very good and helpful app ### 5/5 — Good luck *2025-09-24, version 2.9.42* Thanks --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
