DMV Genius review

The DMV Genius iOS app brings form, function, and fun to the dreadful task of studying for your driver’s license exam. The DMV Genius app for iPhone, iPod Touch, and iPad takes its permit practice tests straight from your state’s driver’s licensing manual, so you can practice confidently.

The DMV Genius iOS app brings straightforward testing to your iPhone, iPod Touch, and iPad. The absence of bells and whistles does not diminish the quality of the content and the intention of the DMV Genius iOS app. You want a driver’s license, and one of the hoops is passing the test. The DMV Genius driver prep app is a free download, but a $2.99 in-app purchase is required to maximize your study. The free version only allows you to change your state three times, and you have only one test with 20 questions. The $2.99 upgrade gets you four more tests with 40 questions each for multiple states. You can also buy DMV Genius Premium Upgrade Pack (4 Permit Practice Tests) for a single state via in-app purchases for $1.99 each.

The DMV Genius iPhone, iPod Touch, and iPad app has a simple test interface to guide you in your study. The question fills the upper portion of the screen, and the multiple choice answers are listed in the lower portion of the screen. A menu bar at the bottom of the screen allows you to go back or forward, as well as request a hint or an explanation. When you choose an answer for a question, a green check indicates success. If you do not make the correct selection, a pop-up explains the correct choice. If you need a hint or an explanation prior to making the wrong choice, you simply touch the appropriate word at the bottom of the screen. When you finish your test, you are presented with the results. You can review all of the questions in a nicely presented list, as well as share results on Facebook and Twitter.

The DMV Genius iPhone, iPod Touch, and iPad app is a small investment bringing 21st century technology to you before you deal with the Luddites working at the DMV.
