Been using it for awhile my test is on the 30th of this month ### 5/5 — I drive *2021-09-25, version 2.9.0* Lol I drive ### 5/5 — A fantastic tool *2021-09-16, version 2.9.0* I’m preparing to my first test and this app makes me more confident. Thank you. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Not good test *2026-06-22, version 2.9.0* Would give 0 stars if possible ### 1/5 — Outdated *2026-05-18, version 2.9.0* The questions at the DMV I got were never on practice test. ### 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. ### 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. ### 1/5 — Pornographic ads *2024-10-22, version 2.9.0* Downloaded this for my son and three questions in very graphic ads popped up. Makes me believe this is a predatory app to prey on young adults. ### 1/5 — Made me fail *2024-08-23, version 2.9.0* I’ve been using this app throughout this whole summer trying to get my permit and because of that i have failed the test twice. Some of the things they say on the practices tests are real driving laws but some aren’t and that’s the problem. So now i’ve wasted hours of my life waiting to get in the dmv to take the test just to fail, And wasted time on this app just for it to be lying to me. If you want to get your permit or learners i would suggest to not use this app unless you want to fail. ### 1/5 — GREAT but be weary of ads *2024-07-14, version 2.9.0* Great app really helps me study but i get interrupted midway through a question by a random ad ### 1/5 — way to many ads *2023-12-04, version 2.9.0* i literally get ads every 2 questions on the practice test it’s so stupid ### 1/5 — Wrong info and bad grammar *2023-04-25, version 2.9.0* This app isn’t accurate and sometimes gives incorrect info. It’s also not even written in proper English so sometimes the questions don’t make sense. ### 1/5 — Too much advertising *2021-10-14, version 2.9.0* advertising every 3 minutes ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — thanks youu *2026-07-10, version 2.9.0* it helpz ### 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. ### 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 ### 5/5 — The GOAT *2025-04-17, version 2.9.0* Absolutely amazing ### 5/5 — Getting my permit all over again *2024-05-28, version 2.9.0* Funny thing is last time I had to take a permit test was many many years ago, so I went to DMV with confidence, yet I failed the test, And I came across this app to refreshing up my memory, after studying it 1 to 3 days I went back and passed it with flying colors…. This app definitely helped out and I recommended to anyone who is coming up against the permit test. ### 5/5 — great app *2024-04-22, version 2.9.0* this app helped me get my license thank u for everything it’s free and they give you the basic answers on the test in raleigh nc ### 5/5 — 10/10 *2024-03-19, version 2.9.0* This app is amazing I’ve been using it for the past two months and I passed my test with flying colors ### 5/5 — SO GOOD!! *2023-10-14, version 2.9.0* This app was a LIFESAVER in getting my permit!!! ### 5/5 — Very helpful! *2023-01-09, version 2.9.0* Very helpful for studying for DMW permit test! Only thing I’d recommend is adjusting the statistics to be more precise about when an activity is “incomplete” (ie. You enter, but click back and re-enter) Might even be useful for those applying for a license! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
