ParkingAim
Read full descriptionHide full description
Park like you've done it a thousand times. ParkingAim teaches parking the way a seasoned driving instructor does: step by step, with a calm voice beside you, in a living 3D city. Practice until it's second nature, with no one waiting behind you. AN INSTRUCTOR IN THE PASSENGER SEAT ⢠Every step short and clear: when to stop, how far to turn the wheel, where to look. ⢠A female or male voice in your language, and an examiner's voice in exams. ⢠The path drawn on the road and a ghost car showing exactly where to stop. ⢠Watch the instructor's demo, practice with the guide, then take the exam on your own. ⢠Every park measured: distance to the curb, angle, centering and moves. WORKED OUT FOR YOUR CAR A hatchback and a limousine don't park the same way. Every lesson is solved for your car's real length, wheelbase and turning circle: where to stop, when to turn, how many turns of the wheel. 20 cars, all to scale. 20 LESSONS The Parking Training course: Fundamentals, Parallel Parking, Perpendicular Parking (with an underground garage full of pillars), Angled Parking and Special Maneuvers (a garage, hills, turning around in a narrow street). Plus 6 Tricky Situations other drivers leave you in: Boxed In, Over the Line, Narrowed Aisle, Blocked Driveway, Boxed In on a Hill and Room for the Door. IT FEELS LIKE DRIVING A real cockpit, side and rear-view mirrors that work, a reversing camera with guide lines, and parking sensors that beep faster as you close in. KNOWLEDGE BASE Mirrors, blind spots, reference points, steering, hills and more: 11 articles, each with a watch-and-learn 3D explainer on your own car. CHALLENGES AND FREE DRIVE ⢠Park of the day: new every day, the same for everyone. ⢠Beat your own record's ghost, match the instructor's moves, stop to the centimeter by eye. ⢠Send a challenge link: your ghost goes with it, for friends to beat. ⢠Free drive: take your car onto the Test Track and park wherever you like. TROPHIES AND FILMS Every exam earns bronze, silver or gold for your own Trophy Museum. Finish the course and the Parking Licence is yours: a practice certificate, not an official driver's license. Share any park as a vertical video with its own music. YOUR LANGUAGE, YOUR SIDE OF THE ROAD 11 languages, each with a female and a male instructor. Drive on the left and the whole world mirrors. Metric, UK or US units. On a Mac with Apple silicon you drive with the keyboard, every key shown on screen. Controllers work too. FREE AND PURCHASES Free to start, with nothing that expires: ⢠5 lessons with their exams: Know Your Car: Front Bumper, Straight Reversing, Parallel Parking, Back-In Perpendicular Parking and Boxed In ⢠The 3 school cars and the whole Knowledge Base ⢠Free drive, and the first lesson at night One-time purchases: ⢠Pro: all 20 lessons with an exam in each, Park of the day, the Aids-off ladder, your own license plate text ⢠Night & Rain: every lesson at night and in the rain ⢠Car packs: City & Off-Road (4 cars), Sports (9), Luxury & Classic (4) ⢠Winter: snow on every lesson you can drive, by day and at night, plus 4 Winter Driving lessons. Buried lines, about three times the braking distance, wheel spin, snow-covered sensors and your tire tracks shown against the ideal path. ⢠Everything: Pro and every pack released so far (Night & Rain, Winter and the three car packs) No subscription, no ads. Every purchase works with Family Sharing. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account. Your progress stays on your device. Anonymous usage statistics can be turned off in Settings. ParkingAim is practice, so you arrive calmer and better prepared. It isn't an official course: your instructor, your examiner and local rules always come first.

Drive Practice
Read full descriptionHide full description
Drive Practice is a calm game for anyone who feels nervous in tight spaces. It shows how a real car moves, so parking and turning stop feeling like guesswork. Only the front wheels steer. The car pivots around the back axle, the back wheels cut inside the front ones on every turn, and when you reverse the back of the car goes where you turn the wheel. Drive Practice lets you see all of this as it happens. HOW IT WORKS ⢠Steer with a large on-screen wheel, about one and a half turns from lock to lock ⢠Pick P, R or D and use the gas and brake pedals with your other hand ⢠Guide lines show where each wheel and the swinging front corner will go ⢠A marker shows the point the car turns around ⢠A fading trail shows where your wheels actually went 22 SHORT LEVELS IN FIVE CHAPTERS ⢠Basics: stopping on a line, gentle curves, a full circle, reversing straight ⢠Turning: street corners, pillars in a car park, a narrow gate, cones, a U-turn ⢠Reversing: round a corner, into a driveway, out of a space ⢠Parking: forward and reverse bays, angled spaces, parallel parking ⢠Tight spots: a three-point turn, an underground garage, a home garage, a car park ramp A short animated lesson before the turning chapter shows why the back of the car cuts inside a corner, and what that means next to a pillar. There is no timer pressure and no penalty for going slowly. Touch something and the game tells you which part of the car hit and why, then lets you carry on. Slow motion, a whole-area view and a left or right wheel position help you practise the way that suits you. No accounts, no ads, no tracking. Your progress stays on your device. Drive Practice is a practice aid and does not replace lessons with a qualified instructor.
