About this app

Brought to you by the same team who pioneered remote ham radio exams in the United States and Sponsored by Icom, HamStudy is driven by the same backend database and so the question pools are *always* up to date. When changes are made or new pools released they will be available on the pool list screen of the app if you are connected to the Internet.

This app does not require an active internet connection to use, but when you have one it will sync your progress with the HamStudy.org website and download updates for all content.

HamStudy is a question pool based study tool designed to supplement your existing study methods, whatever they may be! HamStudy is not designed to be a full instructional tool but you can learn a surprising amount with the included explanations for all questions, courtesy of our many wonderful users!

Designed and written by hams with volunteer examiner experience and Sponsored by Icom, this is not your typical study app -- most study apps will focus on practice exams, which is somewhat like studying for your math test by throwing darts at your textbook. HamStudy is focussed on providing you with the tools you need to study the parts of the question pool that you most need to see.

Our intelligent Study Mode tracks your progress as you move through the pool, providing you with full statistics on what you've seen and giving you the visibility into where you need to study. It will automatically repeat questions as needed. When you don't understand something you can tap the "explain" button to view an explanation of the question. Practice Exams make it easy to see how close you are to passing and see what areas to focus on in Study Mode.

Share your progress with your friends or instructor and study together!

* HamStudy's revolutionary Study Modes work with you to ensure you learn the questions; they automatically track your progress and adjust the pace to keep you challenged but not frustrated.

* Share your progress with other HamStudy.org users and help each other keep progressing towards that next license exam!

Ratings and reviews

SUPER app. It has everything you need to pass the tests. I've used it to pass the Tech, General and Extra license tests. Also, to support the app developers, I bought a 2-meter antenna from Signal Stuff for my Baofeng BF-F8HP and WOW what an improvement on reception and transmission. Thank you, HamStudy, you're the greatest!!

It is currently stuck on "designing optimal study session". Android app. Will uninstall and reinstall. [That fixed it!] That said, this app helped me pass my Technician Class with flying colors. Currently studying for the General Class. Recommend adding a feature to let me look at, in non-test format, the frequency at which Im getting specific questions wrong, including by gradients in the Cram sessions, if possible. Thanks for all you already do! Edit 2: Very excited and looking forward to it!

I would give this app 10 stars if I could. Fantastic tool! I just passed my Extra exam with a 96% correct thanks to this app. I love how it gives so much flexibility in what you study, and tracks your weak and strong areas. It reinforces the areas where you are weak, and provides excellent, concise explanations for the answers. And of course, is very convenient to use. Beautifully designed and exceptionally functional. Thank you, Signal Stuff folks!
