CA DMV for Negative User Reviews

Application inopI downloaded the app in order to do try to report a stolen license plate and request a new plate, but the application does not launch anything in the online section. Not very useful..Version: 3.2

Map link is brokenThe find office map isn’t showing up, fix it please..Version: 3.2

Not worth itSort of a worthless app if you're looking for wait times as they are completely off. Went early and the app said it was a 10 minute wait time, ended up waiting for 2 hours..Version: 3.2

OutdatedTaken my permit test today.. questions were completely different and it was outdated, I am very grateful I was able to pass my permit test. So that's why it's 3 stars..Version: 3.2

FritzIt was working great then it stopped working. Everything I click is either a blank screen or forces closed. I’ve redownloaded and it still does it..Version: 3.2

Permit testGood for reviewing, but keeps viewing the same old questions, don’t help that good....Version: 3.2

Don’t download this appDONT USE THIS APP it’s outdated and none of the question are on the test I just took my dmv test right now to find out there’s barely like three questions somewhat close to what’s in the app don’t download this app !.Version: 3.2

Needs to be updatedYou guys need to do something this app keeps crashing, it was working fine a few weeks ago now nothing.Version: 3.2

App is horribleI’ve been trying to do a title transfer on the app, and it’s forced closed, not let me type, and exits out of my screen numerous times. Just go online.Version: 3.2

Fake AppDo not install this app it was not helpful whatsoever no questions were on the actual testI just took it.Version: 3.2

Still no way to apply/pay for CAV Decal…7 years later and I still have to mail the CAV Decal application and a check! I haven’t written or sent a check in years. Wake up DMV! Not to mention the fact that I have to wait 30 days for the new EV lease registration and license to arrive before I can apply for the new decal and then another 30 days to receive that, so I can’t drive my new EV in HOV lanes for about 2 months. It’s frustrating. This process is archaic. They need to offer a temporary decal. The DMV has been in need of a serious overhaul for years (maybe privatized). They have no vision or understanding of what’s needed or how to keep up with the current times. And that “CA DMV Wallet” app is a joke. I’ve been waiting for them to offer the iOS Wallet CDL like other states for ever. Another failure. Gavin Newsom - do something..Version: 5.0.1

Useless for 2018 driving examThe questions must be at least 2 years old. None of them are useful. It’s a waste of time if you are prepping for the exam. Don’t bother unless you need dmv locations in CA..Version: 3.2

HORRIBLE!! Clearly an app created by the GovernmentEntered all information to change an address and in the “Show me how” link it doesn’t let you return to continue. No way to close the “show me how” pop-up and you must exit the transaction in order to proceed, which deletes all your information/progress and you must start from scratch. Way to go DMV! Going to use the web browser version instead to avoid headaches (who knows if that will work...).Version: 3.2

Driving Written Test: OkayIt would be great if they could put every single question to answer in the practice test instead of always repeating the stuff you’ve answered around the end of it..Version: 3.2

Not a good appI studied and studied, and only 5 of the 55 questions were on the actual test. Now I have to pay another $35 to retake my test. Please don’t download this app. The questions at the actual DMV are NOT on here..Version: 3.2

Outdated. Don’t downloadI downloaded this app to help me study for my permit. Surprise surprise! The questions on the actual written test were NOTHING like the questions here. Don’t waste your guys’ time with this app. Don’t even download it. It won’t help..Version: 3.2

LiesThis app lies about the wait times for the DMV!!! It says 40 mins and I’ve been waiting for 3 hours just to move 100 feet outside the building..Version: 3.2

MisleadingI scored 100% on the practice testin this app, multiple times, but the questions for the actual test are completely different..Version: 3.2

Nothing works!I click on location finder- and it kicks me out of the app! I look into online services- and blank page! 😡😡😡😡😡😡😡 seriously?!.Version: 3.2

App itself needs to improveLike the context itself ain’t bad but starting up the app is frustrating. Like most of the time it would not start up and sometimes it does. It just be freezing once I tap on practice exam.Version: 3.2

Driver’s recordI paid $2 for driver record but was unable to view or print it, if one can not view or print the the record why even ask to pay for it on the app, feels like a scam.Version: 4

Beyond frustratingI would never have imagined a worse experience than going to the DMV in person. This app said hold my beer and doubled down on making the experience as bad as possible. I will be waiting inline with my book tomorrow instead of using this app. 1 Star. Would not Recommend..Version: 3.2

Test OutdatedI used this test to practice for my drivers license renewal but when I went to take the test I learned that not one question was on the test. I told the clerk at motor vehicle and she told me that the test had not been updated. What a waste of time..Version: 4

UselessThe app crashes whenever is try to find a location. Nothing loads when I click on any of the menu options..Version: 3.2

SlowSlow and clunky, but maybe it will get better over time..Version: 5.0.1

Don’t download this appI took the dmv exam and I fail 19/36 right and 17 wrong answers. Theses 17 questions were never shown in the practice exam test. If you to pass on your first try, read the book instead..Version: 3.2

Doesn't workI downloaded this app on iPhone to practice the tests. It doesn't work. No matter where I go the screen is blank. Nothing comes up. I've tried several times, different days, with wifi, without wifi and just kept my 4g on and it never worked for me. What a waste of time!.Version: 3.2

Doesn't work with latest iOS updateThis app and all of its features are completely useless on iphones with the latest iOS updates. Do not download until the developer issues and updated version of this app..Version: 3.2

App should be renovatedI literally just took my test and I failed I can’t believe this app gives me different questions than the computer gave me!!! I can’t believe this. This app should be deleted smh.Version: 3.2

Needs ApplePay —it’s useless nowI stopped using this when I tried to pay for my car registration but a third-party company wanted my credit card information for an additional fee 🤨.Version: 3.2

Why not use Apple Wallet like other states?!It is SO idiotic that they decided to build a buggy app from scratch instead of using Apple wallet IDs like the other states. Massive facepalm 🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️.Version: 5.0.1

Could not find cartUseless for me. Could only submit information. Could not locate the cart to pay the fees..Version: 3.2

Helpful, but outdatedI’ve taken my dmv written test, last week and the questions are completely different compared to the ones on the test. However, both the dmv site and dmv app needs to be updated to be more accurate..Version: 3.2

Just read the HandbookI took the written test today and none of the practice questions on the app are on the test. I mean at all this app is trash. It’s outdated and 2 years behind in knowledge. Just read the book at least 2 times and you’ll be good. If I hadn’t read the book I would’ve failed. Good luck on your test..Version: 3.2

Use the web siteTook several tries before it would take me to the registration page. When I finally got information added and added to cart it would not take me to the cart. Tried again and it told me it was already in cart but no way to get to cart. Garbage app. Use web site and avoid frustration..Version: 3.2

Tap on a DMV city location and crashesWould be nice if this feature worked but to no avail..Version: 3.2

Doesn’t Work!I open the app and try practice test and it’s just a blank screen and later crashes!!!.Version: 3.2

App doesn’t workOnly the home screen menu works. Every time I clicked to go to one of the pages it crashed. Terrible app.Version: 3.2

FreezingOn many sections if you try to fill out an application or make an appointment with a dmv office it will just freeze up instead..Version: 3.2

Blank screens and crashesThe home screen and main menu is the only thing that worked in this app. Anytime I clicked one of the links it would either go to a blank screen or when I clicked the office finder it will crash every time..Version: 3.2
