Reviews for HamStudy.org

Thanks to this app, I got 100% on Technician, General, and Extra in one sitting. It really helped with drilling the obscure questions. Money well spent!

Well it sure works for me I managed to complete the Technician and General using literally just this app now I'm thinking of maybe doing the 100% completion run but using a book as well as the app the explanations are very useful Thanks for making this thing work! KM7BJR

Very, very good. Practice and study with the question bank. If you get wrong, the answer/explanation is right there behind the card. No need to dig in your manuals. Awesome for exam prep.

Love the App. The UI was done very, and I never had an issue.

Great study platform once I caught on how to navigate the app. I've used this app in conjunction with the ARRL Technician Class Manual and it is now my favorite way to study. It's almost addictive! I'm exam ready and confident I will pass on my first attempt. I plan on using Ham Study for my General Class license as well.

Love the integration with the various study books. Super flexible when selecting the chapters to pull the questions from. The best study app I've used...now studying for my Amateur Extra test. Update: Passed my Amateur Extra exam. Missed ONE question. Tried to do about an hour of study every day, usually one or two chapters. Started in earnest about 6 weeks before the test. Definitely recommend this app in conjunction with Michael Burnett's 'Fast Track' series of books.

It's exactly what you look for in an app to help study. It dosen't waste your time with questions you get correct consistently.

It's a great way to get ready for your exam. You can use it to memorize the answers, but the additional info given helps you understand concepts. Obviously, understanding the material helps in the long run, but you can cram and get the answers down too.

I just got my technician's license using only this app. It's an extremely easy way to study for ham radio exams. In my opinion, it was also well worth the extra $4 to buy the app, although the website version is free, because it lets you study in those spare moments when you might be resting in the restroom. And after enough rest breaks you'll be able to pass exam no problem. I highly recommend!

This app works very well. I used it for all three ratings. The content is also available on the website free of charge, but I found it very worthwhile to purchase the app to have quick access on my phone to study, as well as wanting to support the developers. It has a good algorithm for determining the areas which need additional study and focusing on those items rather than just randomly presenting questions.

Excellent method to memorize ham radio exam questions, all elements.. However, on the Android version, I noticed that during my study for the amateur Extra exam, I want being presented with all the questions. Certain questions would never appear. I thought I had gotten around this by setting a filter, and I could see most of the question pool. I think I could have gotten the full list by studying one element at a time. Android 12, Google Pixel 6.

The interface is great. Clean and simple, it presents the information in an easy to read way. Study mode is fantastic for learning the questions and answers. The practice exams are just as well done. Definitely worth the money. I've gone from zero to three perfect scores on practice exams in about 9 hours. I just burned through Study mode until I had gotten most questions correct at least two times in a row, and then tried the practice exams. The app made it very easy.

I like the app and it works great. I used it to pass my General and am now working on my Extra. I use the app on my phone during the day when work is slow or I am on a break and on my tablet when I get home. The only thing I don't like is that the study sessions themselves are not synced across devices. Other than that, I highly recommend this app.

Fantastic app! I used hamstudy along with books to pass all three tests in one sitting. Primary good features are proficiency charts, returning to questions you get wrong, decent answer explanations most of the time, and ability to create custom pools. My only suggestion: I wish there were a better way to weed out easy questions so that if i get them right three (or x) times, they are removed from the pool altogether. That way I could work my way down to a pool of zero questions I don't know.

This app is well designed and better thought through than anything else which I have seen in the ham radio world. There is a missing feature which could easily be addressed. There appears to be no way to reset the study results for an individual element or subelement of a license type. The linking between the phone app and the laptop / desktop apps appears to work well. Since the desktop app is browser-based I presume that it should work with Linux as well as with Windows.

Since I first installed it early in 2019, this app would occasionally lock up at one screen or another. It would continue to work after a forced stop. It would also lose the "sync" account information when the app updated. The most recent update caused the app to freeze at the splash screen. I reported all this to the developer and he was very responsive. Following a reinstall (with Automatic Restore turned off), the app ran correctly, and now supports the back arrow to navigate and close the app. The app does have the capability of selecting an individual subelement for study, on the statistics screen, which helps break a large question pool into manageable chunks. The app also offers explanations of the answers, rather than just "Incorrect". Recommended for those who would like an offline study tool on their phone which can sync with a browser-based version of the same tool.

Highly recommend this app (You probably won't need to take other online courses). App form makes it very easy to study during breaks/cooking/walking. The explanations for questions are great starting point to read further if you like to. Mock tests are very useful. Highly recommend starting with "Read questions" mode, and after going through all questions, then and only then take practice tests. Studied for 1 month, Aced all 3 levels. (I'm an electrical engineer by training)

Excellent! I recently took the technician followed by the general 11 days later, today. I got 100% on both. I didn't need the ARRL books (I did purchase the technician one). The explanations were very good and often pointed to appropriate articles on the Wikipedia. However, when I do the amateur extra later on I will definitely be using the ARRL book for that. One thing that I didn't know when I purchased this is that it includes all three elements (levels) for the price of one. Great!

HAMMER! I nearly exclusively used this app to study and passed both the technician and general exams (35 & 33 respectively). I was on a ship working for a couple months, and this was my only form of entertainment. No internet except near land, but this kept me busy in my free time. I did get a little "Tetris effect" sometimes, but if you want to crush those tests, this is how you do it. Brute memorization, but effective. Loved the silly hints. Gamma makes the Hulk boom!

Great app. I personally have nothing but compliments. This app aided me in getting my tech license, then advancing to general, and then extra all within twelve short weeks. I liked that I could jump back and forth among the different areas based on my abilities and knowledge in the subject matter. It takes a minute to acclimate yourself to the app but it's so worth it to do so, and get the entire functionality from it.
