  1. [R3] DMV Genie 3/5 · US Decent: It’s pretty good compared to some of the other apps for this the only thing is that you can’t do a full test without paying.
  2. [R6] DMV Genie 3/5 · US Could be better: Seems really dumb that I have to pay for all of the questions when the book they come from is free
  3. [R64] DMV Practice Test・2026 1/5 · US Don’t bother downloading: If you don’t want to spend money, don’t even bother downloading this. You can’t do ANYTHING without paying for a subscription fee. I was expecting a feature or two, but the entire damn app is ridiculous.
  4. [R70] DMV Practice Test・2026 1/5 · US The app is not free!: You can’t use the app without making a purchase the app is quite literally useless without paying
  5. [R9] DMV Genie 3/5 · US Not bad: It’s glitchy and freezy, asking you want trial but without is calm 6.8/10
  6. [R71] DMV Practice Test・2026 5/5 · US Easy to navigate: I find this app very helpful.
  7. [R100] DMV Practice Test・2026 1/5 · US Avoid this app you can’t do anything without purchases: There’s so many good free apps, this one just needs to be avoided they don’t let you do anything without signing up for a subscription and having a purchase things right off the bat before you could even try it out, avoided at all cost
  8. [R19] DMV Genie 1/5 · US 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.
  9. [R32] DMV Genie 1/5 · GB Useless: Not being bitter but I studied with this app for a month before my permit test. I knew every question inside and out. I went to my test and failed. Not one question from this app was in there.
  10. [R86] DMV Practice Test・2026 1/5 · US absolutely worthless: worthless for the state of Colorado. Studied this app and then went to take my written test… the first five questions on the written test weren’t even in this app. They were all about power breaking. Other questions that were in the test had different answers than this app suggested so this app is giving both incomplete information and completely false information. If you use
  11. [R114] DMV Practice Test・2026 1/5 · US Mr Misleading dmv: This app is nothing but misleading I studied 260 questions all night and when it came down to the actual test ,NONE OF WHICH WERE ON THE TEST. I wasn’t expecting word for word but my god ZERO OF THE INFO THIS APP GAVE ME WAS ON THE TEST REMOVE THIS APP AND REFUND MY $8
  12. [R4] DMV Genie 1/5 · US Asks for Apple Password: Can’t use premium without entering Apple account password in the app. Never had this problem with app-purchases on any other app. Bizarre. Also the prices are all over the place. The App Store page says one thing, the app itself says another and my card charged a different price. This app used to be great.
  13. [R22] DMV Genie 1/5 · US Charged me $40: I cancelled my free trial a day before it was supposed to charge me and still got charged $40
  14. [R67] DMV Practice Test・2026 1/5 · US Unusable: The only free thing about this app is the download. You can’t study ANYTHING without purchasing a subscription. You can’t do anything at all. They are botting good reviews because this app is not at all free. Just download any other app.
  15. [R29] DMV Genie 5/5 · US Thorough, organized content: Simple to use and learn from. Highly responsive to questions.
  16. [R72] DMV Practice Test・2026 1/5 · US Cancel: Cancelled but still billed
  17. [R78] DMV Practice Test・2026 1/5 · US This is so bad: It worked for a while but then after I was done with the test I went to cancel the subscription I got. It said I deleted it but still charged me and now I can’t update any of my apps. I am so mad at this all and 10/10 would not recommend
  18. [R112] DMV Practice Test・2026 1/5 · US Horrible: Still charged me for 3 months even though I only used it for 2-3 days and canceled it RIGHT AFTER. How does this app have 5 stars
