5/5Great Test Review
This app is very well designed. It is worth every penny! The structure is well thought out. The % proficiency that shows in each section after you take practice exams is amazing and an incredible feature! I will use this for my future license upgrades for sure. . . Though I’d like to see a discount on the upgrades after purchasing previous elements. Other than that I think it’s an amazing app. The last 16 practice tests are over 90% and I feel confident I’ll pass the test when I take it in a few days! A word of advice: start by going through ALL of the question pool questions. Then move onto practicing ALL of the question pool questions, THEN take the practice tests. Don’t jump ahead to practice tests after reading a book through section 4 and going through a few question pool practices. Take the time to see every question in the pool, then run through practicing every question in the pool and THEN take the practice test. The app is ordered that way for a reason. Use it that way and you’ll get better results quicker than if you try to jump ahead. I was able to slightly jump ahead due to electronics knowledge from making my own circuit boards, but after that, I really had to make sure to see every question. This app is amazing for that. . . Use it that way and you’ll have great success!

5/5Excellent Amateur Radio Exam Prep!
I purchased the app on the recommendation of a good friend who used it for exam preparation and it was worth the money! I studied for a couple of weeks before the exam and I received an excellent score! I used both the Technician and General exam prep apps and I took both exams today, back to back and passed both with great results. I just purchased the Amateur Extra app for the exam next month. I highly recommend this app!

5/5Best study aid!
I am using this app in tandem with the Kindle version of the ARRL Tech book. After each section of the book, I flip over to this app and review the questions that the book recommends. It's working great so far. I also take practice tests periodically and got my first 100% this week. I like the feature that shows how well I do on each subelement. It helps me improve on the sections where I am weakest. This is a very useful tool for learning what you need to pass. I'm definitely going to use this same technique when I start studying for the General.

5/5Passed my Tech exam
Read an e-book first then used this app. I would go over 1 subelement in the morning and then a new one at lunch. In the evening I’d go over those two elements again (I would only do a new one if I felt confident of learning the previous areas). I would also review the previous areas also. In other words I’ve learned to use this app as an e-flash cards to go from short term memory to long term now. During testing day, few guys had questions on certain things. I was quick to explain the answer in simple terms to them. In the app, I only used the review question pool and the practice question pool. In the review it shows the question with the answer highlighted. In the practice its the question and you have to choose the answer. I tried the “New Test” but after the first question, the questions were of areas that I haven’t studied yet. So, after this. I never used it. But, now I can so I can keep my memory fresh because I’m starting to study for my General. Good luck!!!

5/5Great study app
The practice tests are great. They show you the right answers if your wrong. Show you a pass or fail, and it tracks your answer history. Because it tracks your history you can go back and see what sections your not doing well in. Then the app has information available to you so you can go study in the lacking area specifically if you like. If your debating getting the app, just do it. You wont regret it if you’re truly considering it.
