While the ease of using this on my phone or tablet is brilliant The really needs to be able to be used on MacBook s as well Hopefully the update of being able to be use the app on my laptop is in the works             A really good concept Capt. V

App needs a saving function to pick up questions from where you left off It gets tiring scrolling through thousands of questions every time you have to leave         Needs Saving or Bookmark Function Spongeanl

This 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                     Great job Captain Denny

Better 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                 Good Fnrndjdm

Solutions for stability would be nice Very effective on terrestrial and celestial         Stability Solutions PLZ 119er

Could 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                     A great study tool AKMariner

Was a great app when I first downloaded it Now that I have an iPhone 7 soon as I open it it closes Get do anything with it now Please fix was a great app to use     Shuts down JParckys

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                 Great Study Tool Jay07gy426

Great for studying for 3rd mate unlimited as a college student I used it in conjunction with lapware Worked out for me beautifully                     Super helpful come back pac

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                     Great resource for studying JonothenP

Crashes every time you open the app with software 10 1 and later and click on study tab For such an expensive app that mariners depend on as a study tool you should update it often At least for compatibility reasons It s been over a year I have emailed twice and no reply     Really needs a software update Captlostsoul

I had this app on my iphone when I swtiched to the google phone I lost this app Having paid 30 dollars for it I was hoping it would work on my MAC it does not however If they could get this app to work on a MAC it would be a 5 Star no brainer             Need it to work on my MAC Cadet at Cal Maritime

I purchased this app on the promise that more solutions would be added This app has not been updated in almost a year with no word on new solutions I m getting ready to take my chief mate exam and need to purchase Lapware instead as they have the solutions I need Additionally it will not run on my iPhone 7 Plus it s in an endless crash loop     Good in principal but anrima

This 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                     1600 ton Master GL INL JGeigs

I have an iPhone 6 and I ve been unable to use this app for months now It closes as soon as I open it Please fix this     Unable to use app Aether_89

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                     Great Value T-Coon

This is a very nicely done app and quite useful to the wild majority of mariners I am awarding one star because there is no Study option for Advanced Stability for Master AGT and the promised solutions have been coming soon as promised by the seller for many months now As this low rating is the only way I can register my displeasure at what I feel to be untruthful and unkept promises by the seller it will remain here for public viewing until the coming soon solutions are posted and there is a study option for these questions Again this is a very nice app but being able to study pass most modules doesn t really do one much good not near as much good as my money did the seller Thanks for reading and good luck to all sitting for their exams     Nice App but incomplete jmplsnt

Love it                     As good as lap ware but in your pocket Gcaptainwannabe

Compared 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                     Very effective MkBx

Requires update app hasn t worked for almost 2 months since last OS update     Needs update Aaaaaaaaawhd

This app is great for on the go or when you are on total lock down Great interface and feedback I really enjoyed having it linked to my wireless printer Perfect when I needed to get out of the fortress of solitude but still wanted to hammer some questions                     Great App GetThisAppItsMeChen

I 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                     Great app USMC to Mate

App crashes on startup on my iPad with vers 9 iOS Looks like developer has abandoned this app Anyone have an email address for Jon Phillips I just threw away 30 00 dollars it appears Help I need this underway to study     App crashes on startup mariner1245

Was great until last update App won t open Useless Please fix             Keeps crashing since last update WY9221

It had been a great app up until now I can t get it to open at all I ve tried to get through to the developer but it takes me to godaddy site It freezes on the opening screen then shuts down Any help                 Having Trouble Bmthree

Really great app just wish you could open it on imac                     Awesome Slow kool

Phenomenal app although I recently upgraded to an Iphone 6 and every time I try to open it the app it crashes on me If you have a 6 wait for the next update before purchasing                 Crashes on Iphone 6 Krøøn

If 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                 Definitely must have sapoverdebb19

This is such a great app but the developer must make it so it works on Mac laptop or iPad                     Mac mah1122334455

Wonderful app to use on the go Better than most study material out there Only reason for four stars is because I can t access the resources the app closes everytime I try to Open it Other than that fantastic app Thanks Upgrade U                 Great App Bigdawg33193

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                     Great app Coffinnail

Thanks for allowing us Mariners to study on an affordable level Do you have anything for someone wanting to get there DDE 4000                     Fantastic App KurlyGurly86

This 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                     Great App Responsive Developers B67904

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                     Best software hands down Robert Lewis

Amazing Won t be long and this will replace the antiquated Lapware It s about time                     Amazing Must Have SmoothSailing321

I 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                     Extremely Helpful CM2B

This App just gets better and better                     Awesome Tamasoj

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                     Thank you George Dick

Used to prep for my third mate Awesome app                     Awesome App Bryank9319

Waste of 20 bucks Every test graded received 0 when I clearly had the correct answer in the test review I don t understand Tried reloading app Didn t work     Captain Wildbillfox69

Love the app but since the update everytime I am taking a test and click the icon to pull up a diagram or picture the whole app crashes and you lose the test that I am taking and have to start over             Crashes Alaskaberger

Awesome app used it to pass my 1600 agt test for the ferries                     Ferries Fingerprintsucks
