### 2/5 — Easy to do but horrible to understand

*2025-06-06, version 2.0*

I'm having useire in understanding whats Frost Driving school and whats XLR8 and find stuff like the document is easy enough to find by going through your email but what about finding something like ADE/DE control number?

### 1/5 — Super annoying.

*2023-07-28, version 1.4*

The app didn’t work so I had to use the website and I had to reschedule my permit appointment because I didn’t receive the certificate.

### 1/5 — Bad app and customer service

*2023-02-05, version 1.4*

Horrible app interface, they don’t email back, and I didn’t get the certificate I needed to get my permit.

### 5/5 — Amazing App

*2021-12-08, version 1.4*

My driving school uses this app and all of my students and parents love it. You have to make sure you don’t just sign up and get the app. This happens when students share the app with other friends who aren’t enrolled into a driving school course such as parent taught or a school. The certificate is provided by a licensed school once you complete all the requirements so just downloading the app and getting a certificate will not work. If you follow the step properly you will see this is the best option to getting your driving permit. I see the people who rated it bad because they couldn’t get the certificate are upset because they didn’t take the proper steps and try to cheat the system and the state of Texas will not allow that. I am so thankful for this wonderful app.

### 1/5 — Horrible

*2021-03-03, version 1.4*

(Very)Bad user interface

### 1/5 — So frustrating

*2021-03-03, version 1.4*

Would not recommend. It wouldn’t even give me a certificate upon completion that I needed for my license.

### 1/5 — The worst

*2020-05-29, version 1.4*

If I could rate this a zero I would, terrible doesn’t work at all.

### 5/5 — Fantastic Drivers ed app

*2019-03-23, version 1.0*

I had a great time going through it. You are easily able to maneuver through the app. It tells you everything you need and will even read to you. The graphics and pictures are fun and entertaining as well!
