Brilliant & helpful!

This app helps me understand and connect all of the practical aspects of driving while I’m doing lessons, instead of just learning to physically drive I can actually apply the logic too.

Its a great app; lots of information without information overload, it mentions things to expect in your practical test and quizzes you too, plus it’s free.

Highly recommend!

Great potential, but needs a tablet version

As an instructor, I might find this app very useful as it is on the whole well designed and informative. However, unfortunately I do not use it nearly as much as I could for the following two reasons:

1. There is no iPad optimised version. On an smartphone, the otherwise excellent template feature is very fiddly because of the small screen size.
It would work so much better on a larger tablet screen.

2. There doesn’t appear to be an option to hide ads. As a instructor, I feel it would look more professional if I could pay to remove ads, like on most other apps.

In summary, if the developer could add the above features to the app, I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending it to other instructors and students alike. However in it’s current form I think it’s usefulness is restrictively limited.

Internet needed to use this app

Good app but useless without internet. In areas where signals low you can’t present to students using it.

Useless

Hardly anything works on it. Terrible app. Do not waste your time!

Ok

Was brilliant up until week of my test when it said my account was suspended or banned. No idea why

App not loading

Hi, I downloaded this app a few weeks ago. Just found out that its not opening anymore. It says “account suspended or cancelled “. Is there any reason for this?

Good resource but..

So I did the test Got 90% but can’t see anything to tell me what I got wrong. Other reviewer mentioned poor text / background but I didn’t see it at all. Clicked on h code and it’s the 2017 version so not up to date. Links to download h c don’t work, nor do any of the links in the app’s h code. In ped crossings, no mention of tiger / parallel crossing.
So there’s some work to do to make it 5*

Problematic quiz

App is very good for learners. Been great so far. However, on the quiz, on my phone, I cannot scroll down to see the multiple choice. The only answer visible is the top one. Everything else is great.

Good but needs a few tweaks

My instructor recommended this app. It’s very helpful but the quizzes are inaccessible on my phone - I am unable to scroll down to see the multiple choice answers, this rendering it useless. Would love this to be fixed so I can test my learning.

Not a review person

This is probably the best app for anyone who either can’t afford an instructor or can’t get one due to how busy they are. Not saying that you don’t need to practice your skills but this will set you in the right direction of how you need to practice to be test ready. Ideal for new drivers or people with experience who didn’t pass the test first time

Great App

Got driving test coming up this is a great app to use in preparation.

@Developers please read

Hi I’m a learner driver so this app is really good but the problem I’m having is when I’ve selected the answer whether it’s wrong or write the text after it is ultra difficult to read otherwise there is nothing else to complain about please either change the colour of the background or make the text white thanks

Love it but quiz can be improved

This app is so helpful and so detailed, it is perfect for those who are going to do their practical soon. The only thing I would ask for improvement is the quiz layout, the background and text are both black so it is impossible to see clearly, if that could be improved it would get 5 stars.

New Learner

I like this better than any instructor

Brilliant but please make answers clearer on the quiz

I’ve got my practical test coming up (4th attempt), so I downloaded this app today as I thought it would be helpful. It‘s pretty good overall, it gives detailed explanations of why you need to do things a certain way, and it’s mostly very clear and easy to understand; it’s also free which is another thing that made me download it.

The only thing I have an issue with is on the quiz sections, if you get an answer wrong, the app tells you the correct answer but it’s hard to read it, because the background is very dark and the text is black. I think the colour scheme needs rethinking, but honestly that’s my only problem and the only reason this isn’t a 5-star rating. If someone could just fix this, the app would be perfect. Thank you.

Great app

Missing diagrams

A nice app. Some really clear and easy to follow information. A couple of missing controls diagrams in the first roundabouts section, and Fred's question is missing an answer.

Awesome ap

Really informative and helpful.

Drivebook

This is a really useful aid for learning to drive. There is considerable high quality and well organised content. It's easy to navigate and highly informative. Well worth the money!!
