About

Theory Test Guide

Features
Read full description

Theory Test Guide is a focused learning app designed to help learner drivers prepare for the UK driving theory test with confidence and clarity. The app combines structured multiple-achoice practice with clear explanations to help learners understand the rules of the road rather than rely on memorisation. Learners can practise at their own pace, revisit weaker areas, and build confidence through consistent, distraction-free revision. The experience is intentionally simple and easy to follow, making it suitable for both first-time learners and those returning to the theory test. Content, acknowledgements, and responsibility This app includes guidance from The Highway Code, published by the Department for Transport, and theory test learning material licensed from the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA).

About

MindStack Flashcards

Features
Read full description

MindStack helps you remember what you study. Build flashcards by hand, or let the AI do it for you β€” paste text, drop a PDF, snap a photo of your notes, or just type what you want ("20 cards on the Krebs cycle"). The cards then come back to you using FSRS spaced-repetition scheduling, so you only review what you're about to forget. While studying, tap Hint for a nudge or Explain for a quick breakdown when you get something wrong. Run Audit on any deck and the AI flags duplicates, leaky questions, and cards that need a rewrite. Three card types (Q&A, cloze, term and definition), light and dark themes, streaks with freezes for the busy weeks, a +5 daily boost when you want to push, and a home screen widget showing what's due today. iCloud backup is automatic. Anki .apkg imports in two taps. Works offline once your decks are downloaded. The full study engine is free. AI features (generation, Audit, Hint, Explain) include a 30-day trial, then Pro. Built for students, language learners, and anyone who'd rather remember things than re-learn them next month.
