Pass the test. Actually understand the country.

Most Life in the UK apps make you memorise 24 answers and forget them by Friday. This one gives you the monarchs, the timeline, the law and the people behind the questions — so the answers stick.

I built this to pass my own Life in the UK test. Everything that confused me — which Henry did what, how the courts fit together, why 1707 matters — became a diagram instead of a flashcard. I passed. Then I made it free. Aga Drapinska-Tonge · developer, and a person who sat the actual test

What learners are saying

★★★★★
I love this app, it is super intuitive to use and fun way to go through questions and prepare for the citizenship test. There was so many questions and I felt super ready and passed it! App Store review
★★★★★
I enjoy using the app a lot while preparing for my citizenship test. The design is clean and visually appealing, and the app feels very intuitive to navigate from the start. I especially like the timeline charts and tables — they help put everything into context and make it much easier to remember key facts. It doesn't feel overwhelming. It's definitely one of the better study tools I've tried and worth getting the Pro version. App Store review
★★★★★
This app is a really fun way to learn about the history of the UK and the everyday (sometimes weird) customs. Great for anyone taking their citizenship test or who wants to learn about the UK in general. App Store review
★★★★★
Very useful and helpful! App Store review
Why this one

Drilling questions isn't the same as knowing the answer

The test is 24 questions in 45 minutes, and you need 18 right. Rote apps get you there on a good day. Understanding gets you there on a bad one.

  • Every answer explained, in plain English
  • Zero ads, zero tracking, ever

Questions

Before you download

Is this the official Life in the UK test app?

No. This is an independent revision tool with no affiliation to the Home Office or UK Visas and Immigration. Content is based on Life in the United Kingdom: A Guide for New Residents (3rd edition), published under the Open Parliament Licence. Always use the official handbook as your primary source.

Do I need to pay to use it?

No. 85 questions are free on both web and iOS — five study modes on the web, seven on iOS, with no ads and no account. Pro unlocks the complete question bank for £2.99 lifetime or £1.99/month.

What's actually on the real test?

24 multiple-choice questions in 45 minutes. You need 18 correct — 75% — to pass. It costs £50 to book and you can retake it as many times as you need.

Does it work offline?

Yes. The iOS app works fully offline, and the web version keeps working after the first load.

Do you collect any of my data?

None. No analytics, no tracking, no ad IDs, no account. Your progress lives on your device and nowhere else.
