Shocking

Absolute waste of money! Thought it was worth a go but it’s poorly made and definitely not optimised for I'd. Tests are ok but these are the same as the free online ones available. I read the bad reviews and still purchased the app... Don't make the same mistake

Expensive and limited

Very expensive for the limited information and repetitive tests.

Doesn't help

Literally hardly any info, just reads the rules and a dodgy test. Very few pictures to show how lights would look at different angles. Wish I'd read the other reviews before buying, my mistake. Would not recommend.

Incredibly disappointing, incorrect information

With an exam coming up I downloaded this up predominates for the 'test yourself' function, I have been sorely disappointed to find that I cannot progress past question 5/6 in any of the 3 quizzes due to incorrect data on the app that means all answer options are wrong and therefore you cannot progress forward. I have emailed your app support out of courtesy to inform you of the errors and not even had a reply which has led me to writing this review.
To the app buyers, do t waste your money until the app has had an update/ been fixed.. There are others out there that are similar and function perfectly like 'Buoys & Lights' and 'Marine Education'

Mr

Quite disappointed by this. Another confirmation that inexpensive often means cheap. I don't understand why the tests just repeat the same questions in the same sequence. In a realistic learning environment you would want random questions. i would also like to go to a test in a category where i felt weak rather than slog thru everything i am happy with to get to the areas i am interested in. Maybe I've missed something but I have found this a waste of money. A review of this on the web said it was much better than test cards but I don't agree. Does anyone else think that content providers given access to a mass market without objective editing results in a general lowering of standards?

Not good

I initially had high hopes for these 3 apps however there are quite a few completely wrong answers in the tests and the tests themselves are repetitive. Once you've done them once you get the same questions again.
So, disappointing for the money.

Looks brilliant on my iPad

The graphics in this new addition of the app look stunning on the iPad 3 (retina) - I also really appreciate the additional questions and answers in the "test yourself" a section. I used to forget the ColRegs but this app has really helped me stay fresh. thanks guys

Okay, but not much value added compared to Imray

I already owned the Imray app that goes over the same material. I bought this one mostly for the multiple choice quiz that it has. This function was nice to have, but it would have been better if there'd been some analysis of your results and if the quiz had covered a bit more material (sounds, for instance). I would also preferred if the quiz had been broken down into section (night lights, day shapes, etc). For revising, I prefer the Imray app--it just seemed a bit cleaner and easier to negotiate. This is only a couple quid, though, and it was nice to have the quiz, even with its limited functionality.
