Prompte Lieferung der bestellten Artikel und gute Qualität der Waren

Habe sowohl den Schweizer Schein Kat. A wie auch den Küstenschein mit BoatDriver-Unterstützung gelernt und erfolgreich abgeschlossen. War für mich eine ideale Vorgehensweise.

Anliegen wohlwollend aufgenommen, wie versprochen geprüft und kundenorientiert unkompliziert und mit Augenmass entschieden sowie zeitnah Rückmeldung erstattet.

Gut durch dIe App geführt, hoffe die Prüfung auch so smooth zu bestehen, Danke!

It seems to be the only app we can use to prepare for the boat exam here. But comes with too many problems.
I list them here so I hope the developers read and improve the app.
My first comments are towards the overall behavior of the app. Not related to the specific English version.

- App is too expensive with 30chf for how it operates. I would value it as 9-10 chf.
- App crashes here and there. Needs to relaunch to operate again.
- When I come to the last question of the simulated exams, and marking only one of the 2 correct radio buttons app automatically prompts if I should evaluate the exam. This option should come after I complete making my choices. In some cases it doesn’t even allow me to make the second choice. It crashes.
- App reminds me to upgrade even I paid 30 chf for it. It is quite stupid to pop a request to get the full version while I have 360 or so days before it expires. First of all, after paying 30 chf you must give the app away indefinitely. When you prompt with another upgrade it only makes us feel like we are on a trial version. If you want us to upgrade it again then bring the prompt in the last one month of the 365 days, no earlier. Why should I upgrade it again after paying while I still have over 360 days to use it.
- it asks me to log in too often. It’s an app on my personal mobile device, no other apps I have here asks me to log in again except my banking apps. What is so protective with a boat-license-study-app that needs re login often.
- There are errors in the theory section.
Example. I completed all the chapters 100% but it shows I didn’t complete one of the chapters (to be specific: “Territorial waters”). Mean time my overall completion shows as 102%. ???
So I completed more than 100% but one chapter seems to be still missing.
- needs a better design. Such as some of the buttons we use during the simulated exams should be larger. “Show solution” and “next” buttons are too small on the page. You should come up with gestures to swipe to make the progression of pages more smooth and easy.
- we shouldn’t have to make choices in a question to see the upcoming or previous pages. Ditch that requirement.
- graphics/illustrations are pretty decent. Compliments. I took the official exam and the graphics in the exam were worse. I believe the official app images are photoshopped with vectorized looking filtering for the app. So the images on your app are more clear than the official exam graphics. This can be good but also bad. If the questions are identical with the official exam better to keep the images as identical too.

Remaining comments are towards English version of the app.

- most important problem I experienced is, the High Rhein section of the exam is NOT offered in English version. When I switch the language to German, French and Italian it shows that section where we can study and simulate the exams. But in English version this section doesn’t show up.
I contacted the developers with this question. The answer was a lousy one. I was shortly informed as “I am also not aware that you can take the exam for the Hochrhein in English”
It doesn’t matter if the official exam offered is in English or not. We actually study and learn the rules for how to ride a boat in Switzerland - not just to pass the exam. Would be kind of you that you create the section for English users so we can also learn how to ride boat in High Rhein regardless how the exams are running. If not then you should offer a partial discount for English users with the missing parts of the app. By the way, for your information, there are more people speaking English in Switzerland than Italian speaking even though it is not an official language. It is unofficial but more accepted language. For your information, I am also not a native English speaker. I am a world traveler and as it happens in every airport and international transportation platform, English is always officially provided - in every country in the world. Would be nice this app addresses this reality since it is about learning how to operate devices in the international waters of Switzerland.
I communicated with the developer (Niels) and expected some level of mercy or understanding of the situation. And expected a discount at least a partial refund. No luck.
- There are a lot of translation problems. Sometimes even typos.

For 30 chf this app behaves very lazy.
I can’t recommend it to anyone however I believe it is the only app for such a specific subject. Perhaps better to find the open source information which might be provided somewhere. I was limited reaching that information because of not speaking German.

I have already took the official exam and passed it with the score of 175.
This app helped me to pass the test indeed. After all it did the job. The experience was annoying, cumbersome.
Most importantly it was too expensive for what it is.

Sauberes Lernprogramm in allen Belangen. Super ausgearbeitet und tadellos und ein absolut fairer Preis!

Mein Sonderwunsch bezüglich Bestellung eines Buchs wurde mir sofort, unkompliziert und zu meiner vollsten Zufriedenheit erfüllt. Sehr sympathischer Mailkontakt, merci nomol für den Top-Service!

I am preparing the test to obtain the license and this app helps to be prepared.

Bonjour, Je ne suis pas satisfait de l'appli pour ces différentes raisons( peut-être que ma config est mauvaise, mais je ne sais pas comment la changer) :
- temps de chargement très long
- l'appli se met en veille et je dois tout recommencer
- pas de courbes de profondeur

Ce mode d'apprentissage est tres ludique. On avance a son rythme et reprenant les thèmes plus complexe a la vitesse qui nous convient.
J'apprécie beaucoup.
Merci

Man kann sich auf die App verlassen. Wenn man zu mind. 90% prüfungsreif ist, sollte man die Prüfung problemlos bestehen.

Ottima e pratica app per studiare la teoria per l'esame di navigazione. Permette di selezionare gli argomenti più complicati. Consiglio

schnell, einfach, relevat.

Sehr gute Prüfungsvorbereitung
