Does not work
This app sucks. The gps is on and knows where you are near the dmv but does not move you along path. When you try to recenter it stops app and says out of area from dmv.
Basically useless for California
The routes this app provides for DMV in Pleasanton California are completely incorrect. There appears to be no basis for this app to claim that what it offers will be helpful at all. It’s a monthly subscription but you can’t even change the test location in the app.
Waste of time and money
Don’t buy this.
Useless
Every time I went to put in the ZIP Code or city name, it said that the DMV “didn’t exist”, even though I know for a fact that it does exist.
App “free” , but needs a subscription for one time use of a single map??
Never got the map. Not gonna pay $15 for it when the app looks like it was designed for an iPhone 2
Useless
This is not worth the money. I bought twice. While some maps are correct, navigation is useless. When we miss a turn, it prompts us to go back to the DMV. I downloaded it twice, and my wife downloaded it once for our 16-year-old. Overall, we spent $45 on something that was neither helpful nor satisfying. We're going to ask for a full refund. ChatGPT can prepare turn-by-turn instructions for all possible routes if you give the address of the DMV
SUBSCRIPTION ONLY!!
I wanted to use this app because I was going to take my driving test but you have to pay 14.99/month to see the routes :( Anyways I passed without it so you’ll do fine.
Started in the wrong location
I tried to use the app and it said I had to be within a certain number of feet of the starting point. I was literally at the place in the driving facility where the test starts. Left the facility and then about a half a mile in, it recalibrated and all the directions were off. Didn’t end up using the $15 app at all. Took the test without it that day. Asked for a refund and have heard nothing in 3 days. Save your money.
Waste of Money
Bad GPS, the routes weren’t even on the test and there were 5 routes in the options. Did not help with the test at all.
Don’t waste your money
I thought this was going to be helpful and have prompts for where to practice 3pt turns and overnight parking along the route. But it’s just a GPS map with a programmed route. The first route we did took us to a personal driveway with a gate. Don’t waste your money on this.
Save your money
I promise you one thing - you’ll regret dropping your heard earned $ on this worthless app.
Doesn’t have actual routes
This was useless. Didn’t even have routes for my area. Plus it’s not free to use. Deceiving app. Deleted
Misleading and Not Worth It
The subscription part is very misleading as you get access to only one DMV. They can just sell maps instead of a subscription but this way they can mislead and earn more. Whats the point of monthly subscription if you can access only one DMV and need to talk to customer care to change DMV and that is allowed only once. It doesn’t make sense to pay $14.99 every month for this. Additionally, the product (maps) is also not accurate and more like AI generate directions. One of the map leads you off-road. Entirely feels like a SCAM.
Waste of money
Purchased the app for the Victorville DMV and these are not test routes. They take you through alleys, dirt roads, parking lots and tells you to make u-turns, etc. waste of money and time.
Waste of money
This app was a complete waste of money. I live in Southern California and when we tried to use the app, the gps only tracked us one of the four times we used it while driving. It wasn’t giving directions in realtime which was the main point of buying the app. We deleted and redownloaded it and it still didn’t work properly. Also none of the routes on the app were even close to the actual route taken on the driving test. I’d like a refund.
awful
bad app, doesn’t have all the routes and makes you pay for the ones it does have, $15 is crazy for a map
Poorly done
Loved the idea to help my teen practice driving in the area of their driving exam. However, the driving routes were poorly done. We only did two routes. The first was okay but the second tried to send us through a dead end road. Would have been just as easy to drive the area around on our own.
Terrible
Asks to pay for everything
You have to pay.
I downloaded the app to see what a possible route could be. Overall I find it unnecessary to pay $14.99 a month! The connection failed a lot aswell.
Pésima
Muy mala , me sentí estafada
No accurate Routes
Routes seem to be made up. I know because I bought two testing centers because I thought I was scheduled at one when it was the other. When I got to the testing center there wasn’t a route at all. They have their own location and private area to test in. The app showed 5 routes that had nothing to do with that location. So this app is fraud and fake.
Pay to Win
You need pay money in order to see any DMV route.
Not Recommended
This app does not work! It only has some DMV sites and charges to view the DMV location. I don’t recommend.
Looks good but not useful
The web page for this shows all of the driving test locations in my state but the app only actually has 2 of them. Totally useless.
No locations near me.
Didn’t have anywhere near me.
Not the real route
Several test routes, but not the real one used for the exam.
15$/Month
They ask 15$ subscription after downloading the app
Total rip-off
I paid for the full app and downloaded the 4 testing routes of my local DMV. I practiced them. Day of the test: they didn’t take me to ANY of those routes. I think this app just makes up the routes. Total scam.
No Support Response
This might be ok but support is non existent! I have asked them to change my dmv numerous times and no response and no change. Clowns!
No
Every route costs money and there is no trial, don’t waste your time with this app
This app is terrible in every way.
This app is terrible in every way.
First, the app itself doesn’t function properly. To start a route, you need to be extremely close to the DMV starting point, but I only have time to practice on weekends, and the DMV is closed on those days. There’s no place nearby to park.
Additionally, the route crashed multiple times right in the middle of navigation, leaving me stranded somewhere in the city.
Second, and even worse, is that the purchases in this app are pure deception and theft. Let’s skip over the fact that each purchase is already expensive-$10 per city, and it’s supposedly for a month, though, as it turns out, it’s not even a full month!
I bought routes for two cities-the first on October 29 and the second on November 22. On November 29, my subscription for the first city ended, but along with it, I lost access to the second city as well! So, I paid $10 for just one week of use. Now, if I want to continue using it for the remainder of the month I paid for, I have to pay another $10!
How else can this be described other than deception and theft?

Fraud
I paid but didn’t get any route map and info. Don’t waste your money.
Out of date
Very first turn is wrong-a one-a street!
DO NOT PURCHASE
This app is actually useless and dangerous. Apple should ban this app from the store. On several attempts at both Daly City and San Francisco routes the app fails to initiate properly leaving the instructor trying to navigate manually and thus unable to focus on the teens driving. The inability to start a route when you are more than 25 yards from the green dot is pathetic.
Worse still though the app gives ILLEGAL turns to make. For example slow streets in SF and a left turn at a NO LEFT TURN in Daly City.
I wasted 40 bucks between buying two routes for 2 months subscription. Many of the so called test routes are not actually even legitimate DMV routes according to my sons professional instructor.
If I could have given this zero stars I would have.

Map Wrong!
This app had us going to multiple dead ends which had us getting off course.
would give 0 star if i could
don’t use this app, it cost 9.99. you can find the routes of most drivers test if you go on the website.
No Frankfort KY test site
Does not have the Frankfort KY test site
This app is useless
I turned this app near DMV and the navigation does not work well. Also the courses don’t seem matched to the actual test routes at all. Don’t buy. (I am in California LA)
Did not work for me
Once I was at the site, I pressed on all routes and the gps kept saying I was at my destination. I thought the app was supposed to guide you through the route they test at or something but I didn’t get anything out of it. Unfortunately.
Don’t buy!
Don’t bother buying this. Inaccurate. Both routes say turn right, I was told turn left. End of story. Passed.
Completely Wrong!
Don’t waste your money! The maps were so far off that it included closed roads, local traffic only roads and circles.
Small amount of locations
I tried to find some places for Arizona, but it gave no options and said it could not find any for the zip code. I mainly seen places for California and there was one for Nevada that I recall.
Not Worth it to Pay
I bought this app for $10. I drove the 4 routes with my daughter for 3 days. Not ONE of the routes was on the test. Waste of money. The reason I know she didn’t take any of the routes was because I followed her on the Life 360 app.
Wrong routes
Neither of the routes listed for Lodi DMV were close to being correct.
If you don’t live in CA don’t buy it
It only has test routes for California no other states
Not great
This app offered 5 routes for our dmv. We started with number 1, “most popular” and it took us on some really weird side streets that were very narrow and difficult to navigate. I doubt the dmv would go this way. We tried the second one and it had us make a very dangerous right turn and then move over three lanes in about 20 feet to make a left at a very busy intersection. Again, no one in their right mind would attempt this with regular traffic. It then continued again on some tiny side streets and the en wanted us to make a left turn onto a busy street where there was actually a median and we could not physically turn left. At that point I closed the app and just used my common sense to create a reasonable route. The other three routes available did look more reasonable which is why I gave it 2 stars. It’s clear a human has not actually looked over these routes.
A bit misleading
This review is for Scotland. I purchased this app ahead of my driving test. It had seven routes. I drove each route 2 to 3 times and had pretty good confidence about my test. However, the route I was taken on was definitely NOT from any of the routes on this app. So it’s great for practicing, but you don’t need an app to do that! If you’re looking for the real routes, I’m not sure it exists here.
