### 5/5 — Exact same questions as HPT

I got every question right in my HPT because I used this app leading up to my test. It uses the exact same questions and pictures as they do in the exam and I experienced no problems with the app. Highly recommended!!

**Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback.

### 3/5 — Update DKT RIGID

*2024-10-23, version 1.4.1*

### 1/5 — Irritating

*2024-10-18, version 1.4.1*

The app doesn’t allow one of the tests to operate properly

### 1/5 — Bug fix required

*2024-10-17*

I have been practicing the rigid test, and for the last 12-14 hours I have been trying to practice the test again, however I keep getting the same error message, stating that test may be unavailable. It’s very inconvenient and annoying frustrating as I want to reassure myself before sitting the actual test however this app issue is delaying that process. Please fix asap so I can resume practicing.

### 1/5 — Not useful

*2024-09-08*

Used this app half a time, froze up half way and I haven’t been able to run the app since. Shut down restart hasn’t worked. Not worth spending time on a test if it won’t tell you have your tracking. Remove app is safer for everyone.
