Ratings and reviews

DOESN'T WORK CORRECTLY ON UPDATED ANDROIDS!!! You can't access the chaptered materials. I thought it was a glitch with the "free" version but the error carried over to the paid version. You can still use the exam prep and ID practice, but you will need the actual book in hand to cross reference the material.

Paid $25.99 for the app to go through PowerPoint style slides that are poorly formatted for mobile. When I went to take the tests they're all locked and require an additional $12.99 to unlock them?! Seriously? I'm very disappointed in the pure greed shown for this poorly optimized app.

SAVE YOUR MONEY!!! First, I am currently in HAZMAT training and I found a wrong answer in the exam prep section. My answer of LC was marked wrong and LD was marked the correct answer. My instructors both confirmed the app was wrong. A lot of money for inaccurate information. Second, exam prep and course study are two separate charges. Why?? Very misleading. After taking the state test I am confident that the money I spent on this app was a waste of money. I passed but not thanks to this app.
