Way too expensive for something that doesn't help much more than the free handbook does
The questions are suuuper repetitive. There's a challenge bank to practice questions you've missed but it will give you the same questions over and over again anyways which makes the challenge bank useless. After taking the exam, you'll find out that the questions are very different from what this app provides. Also they don't give you any warning when your free trial is about to end or give you options for the type of subscription you might want, they just surprise you with a $40 purchase on your apple account with no specification as to what it was for. Don't make my mistake, just get the handbook or find a free alternative
App sucks
This app only wants you to subscribe and when try to change the language wants you to pay even more
Not matching the actual DMV exam
I bought a $39 app to get my license. I spent two weeks taking the practice tests. The questions started repeating after a short while. However, during the actual DMV exam, I didn’t encounter a single question from the app. There were some similar ones, but only very remotely. I passed the test, but I was very close to failing.
Charged me $40
I cancelled my free trial a day before it was supposed to charge me and still got charged $40

Will not let me log in.
I purchased a lifetime subscription years ago. There is no option to log in to restore that since I switched devices. It only allows for an Apple ID, which I did not sign up with. I signed up on a personal computer.
