I'm sorry this might be helpful in some respects but when there using real life clips here and glitchy animation things in the real test it doesn't work whoever made the real tests needs there head seeing to glitchy blurry and nowhere near real life driving
★★★★ Tom 3/26/2025 v3.2.1
Resolution is terrible so you can't see things like indicators or brake lights. App glitches so you cannot move on to next practice clip!
★★★★ Callum Wright 9/17/2024
Just a scam to get extra money, this app is literally built into their theory test kit, so if you buy this additionally then you're just duplicating what you already have. Terrible testing. Some clips you have to click for a hazard before it has even begun, then others you have to click a while after you've spotted it. So inaccurate to real life situations
★★★★ Funky “Dan Dan The Shellfish Man” Bri 7/23/2024 v3.2.1

★★★★ Asitha Angammana 3/26/2023
This App has only 30 clips.
★★★★ Ifrana Bi 1/8/2023 v2.4.1
ive downloaded this app on my laptop and it wont show the clips its just a green screen and ive paid for this app???
★★★★ darren harris 10/8/2022 v2.4.1
Rubbish not even updated to cgi clips, and the clicking is out by seconds
★★★★ Aleq de Villiers 4/16/2022 v2.4.1
actually a scam, wish I could get my money back. do not download.
★★★★ Lee DaWestRider 2/5/2022
Feel just like this app was made to get some extra money from outdated material. which speaking of, is of very old and the quality is making it hard to perceive. i'm an experienced driver and bought this app to practice for a lorry category. i was hoping to see videos that would appear in actual test. Asked for refund. also point administration in these clips is awful.
★★★★ Jennifer Howie 1/15/2022
Out of date. The real-life footage isn't what you'll see in your actual theory test and is much harder than the clips in the DVSA theory test app.
★★★★ G HO 12/30/2021
old outdated video and low in video quality, totally waste of money. The app marketed itself as official is truly misleading.
★★★★ Jehu Cuello 9/8/2021 v2.3.0
I should get my refund for these old videos. The day when I went to take my test that was a surprise.. very disappointed
★★★★ Ruth Dickie 8/22/2021 v2.3.0
Old and outdated. Waste of money.
★★★★ Faisal Ahmed 6/17/2021 v2.2.0
Old videos not CGI. This should be clearly mentioned in the title. It's misleading reading the title "Official DVSA hazard...." rather it should say "OLD OFFICIAL...."
★★★★ Shaibu Gariba 2/25/2021
The thing is not downloading, it is now 5 hrs waiting, why and I have already paid 2.99p
★★★★ Jason Balayan 2/24/2021 v2.2.0
The videos cannot be downloaded despite having good internet connection. Not worth paying.
★★★★ Bojan Ivanovic 12/8/2020 v2.0.24
Clips freeze after a few seconds, and you need to reinstall the entire app to fix this common issue
★★★★ Zoë Armit 9/26/2020 v2.0.24
Had this on iPod a few years back, worked no problem. Downloaded it onto the phone the other day, and every time I play a clip it cuts out a few seconds in- so I can't practice. Disappointed I had to pay for a faulty app :(
★★★★ Bushra Firdous 6/15/2020 v2.0.16
Downloaded the video but it wouldn't play pls fix this. It's a waste of moneu
★★★★ A Google user 3/18/2020 v2.0.16
I just downloaded the app hoping I could practice more. The videos are not playing... Does it require anything spefic to work? Just sad about my high hopes and purchase .
★★★★ A Google user 3/16/2020 v2.0.16
Seriously. I get zero points because I see hazard earlier.
★★★★ A Google user 3/5/2020 v2.0.16
Hello. Following the request for feedback on the app here goes.....As a professional HGV driver of 31 years and holder of an ARDS licence i consider my perception to be better than average,clearly havin failed my motorcycle theory test today by 1 point i am disappointed , Having scrutinized where i am going wrong it would appear i am spotting a potential hazard TOO EARLY and being penalised for doing so if that is logic in any way, disappointjng but sadly not surprising from DVSA
★★★★ A Google user 2/26/2020 v2.0.16
I dowloaded the app and then clips in it but it doesnt play when i tap on play. I tried lots of times but it doesnt play. Really disappointed.
★★★★ A Google user 12/9/2019
This app is terrible. I tap hazards and I am awarded barely any points. Then I review it and all that's happened is you are supposed to click 5 times on one thing. Just stupid
★★★★ A Google user 11/24/2019
Have paid for and been charged for this but hasn't downloaded and on the app store is showing as needing to pay for it again. Fraud.
★★★★ A Google user 11/20/2019
I didn't like this app as much as the theory one as it doesn't give you the option to take a practice test as you would on the real test. The downloads use a lot of memory as well when these could just be pre stored on the app.
★★★★ A Google user 10/31/2019
Doesn't work don't waste your money!
★★★★ A Google user 9/11/2019 v1.1.1
In the actual test, if you click once per hazard you will probably fail, and if you click several times quickly you will fail. The maximum number of times you can click before you get 0 is random. This app lets you click 10 times per clip and doesn't care if you click several times in a row. The problem is more with how the actual test is done than this app, but I'm giving this 1* because it is not an accurate representation of how the test scores you. If anything, this app helped me fail.
★★★★ A Google user 8/27/2019
This app doesn't work. Videos never downloaded
★★★★ A Google user 8/21/2019
App wasnt working so i deleted it so i could redownload it however now it wants me to pay again
★★★★ A Google user 7/23/2019 v1.1.1
Very sloppily put together. The hazard on number 23 doesnt begin to develop until there are only 2 points left to score. many of these hazards are impossible to see because of the video resolution too- they seem to be heavily compressed and appear grainy with my phone screen right next to my face on a 1080p screen. Thinking of making my own hazard perception app, seems pretty lucrative and the competition isnt very difficult either
★★★★ A Google user 7/10/2019 v1.1.1
I need refund of my money. thank. it is not up to the clips stated
★★★★ A Google user 6/24/2019 v1.1.1
Have I really just paid 3 quid for 30 videos? Wheres the rest? Very disappointed. There's more than that in the official theory app that I already had. What a waste of money.
★★★★ A Google user 5/7/2019 v1.1.1
Very disappointed, it is not made clear that this app is only for the car test, i bought this app thinking it would cover the motorcycle theory test as well but it does not!
★★★★ A Google user 4/30/2019 v1.1.0
it cant open the video, and app pushing ann error "to i had moved its content to an another place" i deleted them and download again and still some problem, using galaxy S9+. i used another your application(DVSA theory test), there was everything fine also with video playback. basicaly just vasted money looks like. have made a refund
★★★★ A Google user 4/29/2019 v1.1.0
my app stopped working at 11th clip and my test is due tomorrow
★★★★ A Google user 4/8/2019
paid for the app and it wouldn't download pure dissapointed
★★★★ A Google user 3/31/2019 v1.1.0
Why do I keep paying for these apps for them not to work?
★★★★ A Google user 3/19/2019 v1.1.0
Bought to help with hazard perception but it won't recognise when I touch screen. So not getting any passes. Even though when I reveiw i did press at correct times
★★★★ A Google user 3/14/2019 v1.1.0
there should be a download all option. trying to practice in my lunch break and i spend 2/3's of my time waiting for individual episodes to download
★★★★ A Google user 1/9/2019 v1.1.0
I bought both the Hazard Perception app and Theory Test app. The latter was quite useful, but the Hazard Perception wasnt; it doesnt prepare you for the anti-cheat software in the actual test or let you know you that u will also be scored for how you click. I failed the hazard perception test even though I scored quite high in the practice clips in the app. The app didnt make me aware I was meant to click in a certain way.
★★★★ A Google user 12/20/2018
I pay but it can't install, just it took my money
★★★★★ Dwayne 12/27/2024 v3.2.1
No test, it's just practice videos
★★★★★ Leticia Lais 2/20/2024 v3.1.0
I thought it would be a hundred videos, but few videos, I still don't Feel confident! 😔
★★★★★ Alexandra Deborca 12/28/2022
seemed slow on responding to clicks, were real videos rather than CGI like the official tests. very low quality videos.
★★★★★ Laura Szliszka 5/15/2021 v2.2.0
Not sure if this is an error on my part but I assumed these clips (as well as the ones in the kit app) were the ones used on an actual theory test but not a single one was. Maybe it needs to be made more clear these are just EXAMPLES and the DVSA won't use these exact clips.
★★★★★ Ian Jordan 4/30/2021 v2.2.0
App contents is now very dated. The test changed to CGI videos 6 years ago, these are still the old ones. They aren't as clear as the newer videos, also there just aren't many of them. There are better apps using the new CGI training videos and a lot more other videos for the same money. Time to look elsewhere unless they change to the newer videos.
★★★★★ Aizix 4/30/2021 v2.2.0
Failed my hazard perception test. Few videos were from the app. Majority were completely different, not included in the app.
★★★★★ Fatoumatta Jeng 10/22/2020
I bought this today and it's asking me to buy it again to continued, may I know why should I have pay for again.
★★★★★ A Google user 12/26/2019
I played 2.99 and I still kept having to use more of my storage for the videos
