It goes by the sign in too fast on my iPad especially. *2026-08-30, version 4.5.79* Woosah this will drive you crazy. ### 2/5 — Add a dictionary *2026-08-29, version 4.5.79* In all instances where an uncommon term or phrase relative to driving is used there should be an ability to click/tap on the word or a bubble that appears which allows the user to refer to a dictionary of driving terms. One thing that stops people from effectively learning is due to not understanding a word, concept, idea or phrase. ### 4/5 — Good driving app but you have to pay because of this 4 star *2026-08-28, version 4.5.79* Good driving app but you have to pay because of this 4 star ### 2/5 — Free to download, costly to open for more than 5 seconds *2026-08-23, version 4.5.78* Really useful writing and quiz functions, absurd subscription rate. I wouldn’t be as disappointed if there were any free features at all, even if it was just one or two sections of the written lessons; maybe allow a free quiz mode that has a fixed daily timer, similar to Drops? Disheartening to find exactly what I need and not be able to use it whatsoever following such a short trial. ### 3/5 — Needs improvement *2026-08-23, version 4.5.78* It needs improvements on the question with my second test it asked if I can pass on this road and it shows me a picture of me on the side of the road with a cut yellow line and I said yes but it said I was wrong ### 2/5 — Using the app *2026-08-21, version 4.5.78* I tried to use the app but every time it tries to force me to get plus and I can actually use it ### 3/5 — NOT FREE!!! *2026-08-17, version 4.5.77* they give you 3 days free then want $8 a week. besides that it was helpful for me. ### 1/5 — card fraud 0 stars *2026-08-16, version 4.5.77* i originally got a notificafion for transaction of $39.99. i clicked monthly subscription so i was like maybe it’s a 4 month thing but then it happened again MONTHLY. i cannot cancel my subscription on the app or on the website i had to report fraud and get a new card like hello not worth the hassle 😭😭😭 ### 1/5 — Scam *2026-08-16, version 4.5.77* Keep being charged even though I’ve paid my due, money grubbers ### 1/5 — Not free *2026-08-15, version 4.5.77* It advertises as if it is a free driving test app but when you actually get into it, it won’t let you start none of the lessons until you pay. Don’t waste your money. ### 1/5 — Paywall *2026-08-15, version 4.5.77* U cannot use the app unless you agree to their 3 day free trail but then $8 a week 🤦🏽‍♂️ ### 1/5 — POS *2026-08-14, version 4.5.77* What they don’t tell you is that it’s not free😭 idk why they didn’t put that in the ad but don’t get ts, it’s not free. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — 8 dollars??? *2026-09-01, version 4.5.79* I shouldn’t have to pay 8 dollars a week for my permit with only a 3 day trial. That’s very, very unnecessary. ### 1/5 — paywalled *2026-08-31, version 4.5.79* literally why have the app listed for free if you’re required to pay to do anything… ### 1/5 — wtf *2026-08-31, version 4.5.79* bro it isn’t even a free app you have to pay for a trial ### 1/5 — Charging fee *2026-08-28, version 4.5.79* Just be aware that they may continue charging your account even after you cancel the subscription. ### 1/5 — You have to pay for it *2026-08-24, version 4.5.78* I was just trying to practice to get my permit but you have to pay for it ### 1/5 — Worst *2026-08-24, version 4.5.78* Don’t use ### 1/5 — Bad *2026-08-21, version 4.5.78* App can only be used if you pay for it 🤮 ### 1/5 — Not able to use without paying *2026-08-18, version 4.5.78* I’m trying to study for my permit test in wv and I thought this would be a good app. I can’t do anything without doing a free trial and paying. Not exactly able to do that when I don’t have an income. ### 1/5 — Horrible *2026-08-17, version 4.5.78* Won’t let me do anything on the app until I pay for a subscription I do not want. ### 1/5 — Can’t even use it *2026-08-16, version 4.5.77* You have to pay to use the app, it’ll give you. 3 day free trial but after that you have to pay for it, me and many others are just trying to find other ways to study other than reading a giant handbook but if we have to pay what’s the point. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Totally recommend for permit and behind the wheel test!!! *2026-08-27, version 4.5.79* I just took the free trial for three days for my behind the wheel test and I really recommend this app as it help me what the instructor are looking for and what are the things I need to take note when I am driving, Jacqueline is really good at explaining everything!!! Really recommend this app👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 ### 5/5 — Omg it’s worth the money it helped me pass *2026-08-27, version 4.5.79* Literally failed like 4 times before this and like used this app for like 3ish days before the test and literally passed omg it’s sooo worth the money cause it works I tried a billion free apps those are trash ### 5/5 — Great app! *2026-08-27, version 4.5.79* I got this app and studied for around 3 days and took my test immediately after. I passed first try with only missing one question!! ### 5/5 — im a real person *2026-08-26, version 4.5.79* i im writing this as an actual person i dont believe that reviews here but i will tell younthat this app actually helped ive gotten my ermit finally from just using this app ### 5/5 — I love it *2026-08-23, version 4.5.78* Even tho I’m only 14 and about to learn 15 I driving now and learning and ever since over found this app it had been helping me. ### 5/5 — Amazing *2026-08-21, version 4.5.78* I studied this app for a week of my permit test and within a week of studying for 20 mins a day I passed. Awesome app and is very similar to the permit test ### 5/5 — First time *2026-08-21, version 4.5.78* I was looking for a comprehensive app to study for the theory test; my goal was to pass on the first and only attempt. I studied for a month—since I’m not fully fluent in English, though I had already read the manual in both languages—and this app helped me achieve my goal. I passed the exam on my first try and am very happy; the app is very dynamic and easy to understand. ### 5/5 — I need Spanish version. *2026-08-16, version 4.5.77* This not included Spanish audio not even subtitles. ### 5/5 — Cool *2026-08-13, version 4.5.77* I m having fun ### 5/5 — pretty cool *2026-08-13, version 4.5.77* just wish this type of knowledge wasn’t locked behind a paywall since it’s so effective at teaching --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
