Upgrade U for Positive User Reviews
✓ A great study toolCould this program be more encompassing? Yes. If you devote yourself to using all of the study tools this program offers will it get you a passing score on the dreaded USCG exams? Absolutely. There is always room for improvement, but this program already provides the tools needed to pass the CG exams at a fraction of the cost of competitors, i.e. Lapware, study classes. This is an affordable way to study for your exams in the palms of your hands. I would recommend using this app in conjunction with a study course, but if you seriously devote yourself and use all the tools it offers, it's all you need..Version: 2.4.2
✓ As good as lap ware but in your pocketLove it.Version: 2.4.2
✓ Awesome AppUsed upgrade u to study for my unlimited tonnage master's license, it was great. I took all 10 tests in two days and passed them all on the first try. Jon the creator is great with support and is always improving the app. Upgrade U is a great option for license prep, it's much less expensive than some other similar study programs.Version: 2.0.7
✓ Update pleaseWould give 5 stars if the swing ship deviation table values were complete. Can’t work the problems otherwise. Everything else is great..Version: 2.4.2
✓ 1600 ton Master GL/INLThis app was the only thing I used to study for my 1600 ton Master GL/INL test which I passed with ease. I would use it again and highly recommend it..Version: 2.4.2
✓ Great resource for studying!I used this app as a supplement study guide for both my mate and master exams. Easy to use and the fact that you don't need internet makes it priceless for studying while offshore..Version: 2.4.2
✓ Great app for preparing for chief mates/mastersThis app was great to supplement lap ware. I used this to prepare for all exams except stability. Solutions provided were well written and provided reference to which exam material you could find the formulas in. It included digital copies reference material which you can access offline. I used this while onboard my vessel without internet and had no problems. The only thing is they need to add stability solutions. Otherwise this is a great cheap way to help prepare for your exams..Version: 2.4.2
✓ Extremely HelpfulI was wishing there was an app to help study for the 9 c/m unlimited exams and thought searching for one was a waste of time until I happened upon Upgrade U and was blown away!!! As most people in this career, I travel a lot and am now able to just pop open the app and review a few questions and even have almost all the reference materials right in my pocket... AMAZING!!! Every merchant mariner should have this app. The only thing that would make it any better was if the CFRs were available as references and even more amazing would be if there were explanations to the question solutions. But that is asking a lot and it is already a great app even without those novelties..Version: 2.1.2
✓ Great appPretty awesome someone put this together .. However on a couple of the terrestrial and celestial questions , they have different answers than Houston Marine and Murphy books , thats scary on tests you must score a 90 on ...Version: 2.4.2
✓ Great jobThis is an excellent study tool. The questions are sorted and organized as well as any USCG exam prep app that I have used. Keep up the good work..Version: 2.4.2
✓ Great appI used the app along with a three week prep course to test for my mates. Passed on my first try. I thought a handful of questions were incorrectly marked however considering I had a question pool of over 12,000 questions I think that's pretty good. I solely used upgrade U and no other study software and it did the trick for me. I did put in my time studying which is key if you want to pass. I already had the app when I went to class but even my instructor at MPT Andy Pickerell recommend it to everyone as a study aid..Version: 2.3.1
✓ Great AppI use the app all the time to study for my classes as I'm a student at SUNY Maritime College and it works great. A couple things I would add is 1) being able to see the answer you chose on the questions you got wrong after taking a test and 2) the ability to create your own test and pull from different topics.Version: 2.1.0
✓ Great appEasy to use. Offline which is great for studying offshore. One thing that would be great is if they had a few more problems solutions for ones that require maths but thats all in bowditch anyways. A few nav rules questions are incorrect but only in nav rules. Recommend..Version: 2.4.2
✓ Great Value!!!I have used this app to study for all of my upper level licensing exams. It is much cheaper and more convenient than Lapware, while offering essentially the same functions. It is especially useful for Mariners studying at sea who may lack a reliable internet connection. The lack of some solutions is not a serious impediment..Version: 2.3.1
✓ Best software, hands down!!!If you are looking to test, then you must get this app. No more carrying a dozen heavy books with you. All of the books you'll need to test are in this app. I highly recommend this to anyone that is serious about their career. Plus you can't beat the price. Thanks for everything Upgrade U!!!.Version: 2.2.3
✓ Very effectiveCompared to other sources on the web and in the App Store, this program is so comprehensive and easy to use, it isn't funny. You really get feedback through taking the tests as to how much you're retaining. You don't have to be online to use it, which is very important. It's the best money I've spent in preparing for the Coast Guard test!.Version: 2.4.2
✓ Great App Responsive DevelopersThis App has everything you need to study for a license upgrade. My Murphy's books sit untouched as I test over and over anywhere I go. Phenomenal resource packed with support publications like the CFRs. The developers are constantly adding features and content like a print test feature..Version: 2.2.3
✓ Great Study Tool!I use this app daily to study, and take practice tests! It has been a huge part of my studying regime. I love that it has all the reference material too. I will give it 5 stars if they ever complete and post the solutions to all the math related problems..Version: 2.4.2
✓ Great workThis is exactly what I needed when I was studying. I used a combination of this app, Murphy’s books, Lapware, and the knowledge of shipmates to hawsepipe from AB to 3rd Mate Unl. I especially liked the rules of the road practice exams, it’s just very convenient to have all of this in your pocket. I recommend Upgrade-U to people I meet who are taking classes with me and shipmates who want to advance constantly. The only issue I have with the software is it won’t run in my new IPhone XS Max and I was hoping to use it to study for a job application screening Coldegs simulator I’ll need to take next month. I’ll just end up using my retired iPhone 6+ but if you can update for compatibility before I start studying for celestial that would be awesome. Many thanks!.Version: 2.4.2
✓ Great app!I'm getting ready to upgrade my license and was recommended this app by another ship mate. I was surprised to see that all the publications were included in this app (CFR's, Bowditch, rules of the road, etc) It's easy to use and is straight to the point. I would recommend this app to anyone wanting to get a license or looking to upgrade. Thanks for an awesome app for us mariners!.Version: 2.2.3
✓ Great app!... BUT!For the second time now It keeps crashing out of the app when you hit ‘study’, please fix it, other than that... it’s a great app..Version: 2.4.2
✓ Super helpfulGreat for studying for 3rd mate unlimited as a college student, I used it in conjunction with lapware. Worked out for me beautifully.Version: 2.4.2
✓ Definitely must haveIf you have an iPhone and are studying for license, don't hesitate. I'm only writing this review because I was wondering how up to date it is, with everything changing. I'm not sure if they are totally accurate with their test pool. I'm taking the Mate 1600ton oceans and I buddy of mine just took it, and some of the question categories in the test pool weren't on the coast guard test nor In the cap joe software he used. I found this in the deck safety module, but I'm guessing there are others. Hoping to see more reviews or contact them to clarify. However, like I said, if you have an iPhone and are studying GET IT!!!.Version: 2.3.0
✓ Thank you.Definitely worth my $20. Great study tool for anybody upgrading their license. This app is very similar to lapware, but you can't use lapware when out at sea. That is the beauty of this app, no internet is required!! It's great for studying while on watch in the middle of the ocean. The app comes with PDF versions of all necessary resources (bowditch, 1981 tides/currents/coast pilots/light lists, stability, pub 117, rules, chemical data guide, etc...) And, the creators are very helpful. If you have a recommendation on something to improve the app, they are quick to help and implement your ideas. Upgrading from 3/M AGT to 1600T Master NC/O. Definitely recommended..Version: 2.1.2
✓ Great app but...Great app, but the question bank needs to be updated with the new questions. I use lapware and this app to study. Lapware has the new bank but this app offers easier to understand solutions. Giving it 4 stars for that reason..Version: 2.4.2
✓ Went 7:7 on my 3/M AGT Oceans ExamStudied for my third mate's test in its entirety using this app. I give it four stars because it does lack solutions for some stability and navigation problems... Still, excellent, and far cheaper than LapWare. 4-5 hours a day with this for a month, and you'll pass no problem :-).Version: 2.4.2
✓ GoodBetter than lapware, easier to use and works offline. Includes the reference material required (bowditch, ics, nav rules, etc) unlike so many others. Really a great application. My only complaint is that in the test review I cannot review the question I missed in its entirety. When attempting to do so I am met with a blank white page. Adding the cg question number to the test review page would also help us review to find what mistakes were made. Thanks!.Version: 2.4.2
