What reviewers complain about
Reviewers' own words from low-rated UK reviews we read on 25 October 2026:
Only lets you answer a total of 5 questions before asking for money to continue. Joke to list it as a "free version" — RAC, 9 July 2024 (App Store listing)
App said I'd be put on a one week trial before needing to pay, instead money was taken out that same minute — RAC, 22 June 2025 (App Store listing)
Most reviewers are not against paying. They are against not knowing the terms first, so read the purchase screen and the renewal terms before you pay. If you do subscribe, here is how to cancel a theory test app subscription.
Who should pick which
Pick RAC if you want licensed questions and hazard clips in one app and accept a subscription. Pick theorytest.ai if you would rather see a free diagnostic first and pay £12.99 once for the practice tests.
The real multiple-choice part has 50 questions with a pass mark of 43 (gov.uk), and gov.uk has a free practice test whichever app you choose. For every app side by side, see which theory test apps are actually free and theory test apps compared.
Before you pay for any theory test app
- Open the in-app purchases list on the store page and note every price.
- Check whether the purchase renews. If it does, set a reminder for the day before.
- Answer ten questions free and see whether a paywall appears.
- Check hazard perception separately, because you must pass both parts (gov.uk: theory test).
Try theorytest.ai free
Take the free 10-question diagnostic: no payment and no account, and it shows which topics to work on first. Our plans are on the pricing page.
