5/5I aced my General Exam because of HamStudy
I had previously used another app to study for the Tech exam and I got two wrong. I couldn’t understand how that could happen because I had memorized everything. As I studied for the General using the same app I started realizing a few of the answers were WRONG. Typos were everywhere in the study sections and practice test sections, and then I found on one question that the answer in both A and C were identical. I paid for HamStudy and don’t regret it one bit. I got 100% on my General exam and that was the best 30-some-odd-bucks I could have spent. Don’t waste your time on a free program with errors. If you are struggling through a test and you answer questions with “wrong” answers, not because you didn’t study hard enough but because you studied to perfection and memorized incorrect answers, that is just cruel and unusual punishment. Pay the bucks, get the right answers and pass your exam the first time.

5/5The best $4 you can spend to go from Tech to Extra
I just sat for my exams yesterday. I took all 3 in one sitting. I passed them all; in fact, my highest score was on the Extra, 92%. I started by using the free online version and found it extremely helpful. But then I decided to spend a few dollars to get the app on my phone. I found that I had a lot of free time when I was away from home, away from the computer, so I knew that this app could help me to study when I had free time to spare. The great thing about using the free online version along with this app is that it syncs your progress between both platforms. My background, I have no experience in engineering, and I would rate my math skills as being just average. If you are planning to get licensed, do not stop with just the technician and/or the general license. With this app, you can go from 0 to Extra if you are willing to put in the time and effort.

5/5Excellent: Quick thorough study
Bought this app b/c thirty days to study and pass test. Easy to use, feedback loop makes its use addictive and fun. Most importantly, the explanations enable one to understand how to arrive at the answer using one’s own reasoning (vs. rote learning of Q&A). And the explanations are written by people. I feel as though behind each one is a grizzled Ham operator with their hand on my shoulder, drawing me a picture even I can understand. One answer actually points out that the question omits a key element that would enable reasoning one’s way to the answer. Another tells you that 80% of students get this question wrong because they fail to look at key information supplied in the multiple choice answers. Doing the test portion is great: progress is tracked, and you are given the option of studying only questions in the sections in which you scored lowest.

5/5Absolutely the best, most effective app to get your license.
This was the only app or resource I used, or needed to use, to go from zero to just today earning my Extra license class over the course of about five months. The app’s feature set is perfect: in addition to the pool questions for every exam, there are very helpful explanations, hints, and links for each and every question. The spaced repetition for answers you get right, and the more immediate recurrence of the questions you miss, also help greatly to get your understanding dialed in. The Practice Exam feature lets you know with confidence when you’re really ready to take the next element exam. There’s literally nothing I could suggest to improve the app, and it would be a bargain at ten times its price.

5/5Moving up
I have been using this on my iPhone and my PC. The approach is a bit different on each and I like that. I had bought a book on Tech, that had a link to practice questions, which I got 90% correct. Then I was told about this, and I flunked my first two tests! What I really like is how it shows my weaknesses as well as my strengths. I did pass the Tech with an 85%. Now I’m using it for the General and it’s a tough go for me because I haven’t been around this stuff for 50 years. I’m slowly “getting it”, and it’s because of the way they present the material. I’m working on the Extra a bit while I’m at it just in case I can luck out and get to take that one too. I’m going for it in a couple of weeks.

This means all three main US license pools — Technician, General, and Amateur Extra — stay visible up front without Amateur Extra getting pushed into \"Other exams and countries.\" - Improved Tablet & Large Screen Support — Sidebars can now be closed on iPad and large phones to give you more study space - Stability & Compatibility Updates — Updated native dependencies for improved performance"
