### 1/5 — Not good test

*2026-06-22, version 2.9.0*

Would give 0 stars if possible

### 1/5 — Outdated

*2026-05-18, version 2.9.0*

The questions at the DMV I got were never on practice test.

### 3/5 — Español

*2026-05-18, version 2.9.0*

Muy buena app, pero me encantaría que estuviera en español también :/

### 5/5 — Helped so much

*2026-03-30, version 2.9.0*

Thank you so much. I failed it the first time then I got this app and passed! This app helped so much and I only did it for about 1 hour total

### 5/5 — Permit Test Practice

*2026-02-17, version 2.9.0*

It’s awesome, a really good practice app, and has helped me to practice for my permit test coming up, I recommend it’s decent.

### 1/5 — Not valid

*2025-08-14, version 2.9.0*

I used this app as a study resource for my permit test but came to find that nothing I studied on this app was actually on the permit test.
Not reliable at all.

### 3/5 — A little outdated.

*2025-07-18, version 2.9.0*

I love the app, I think it’s due for an update so it can be a little more accurate to the current written test.

### 1/5 — TOO MANY ADS

*2025-07-01, version 2.9.0*

How inconvenient that when you’re trying to take the practice test there is literally an ad between every question? That’s counterproductive for someone who’s trying to study for their permit.

### 5/5 — Great

*2025-06-26, version 2.9.0*

It’s really nice to practice with, it changes up the answers to sound different too. It’s great

### 3/5 — Lack of feedback

*2025-04-28, version 2.9.0*

There was a lack of feedback as I went over the questions, and it would be nice to have questions I have answered correctly be excluded from the next quiz
