Covers all five PET papers properly
Most apps I tried focused on grammar and left writing and speaking as an afterthought. This one actually gives every paper real attention.

User Reviews
5 / 5
Use of English bank is huge
Hundreds of word formation and sentence transformation exercises. I stopped running out of new material weeks ago.
5 / 5
Writing feedback is the best part
I submit a short piece and get told straight away what's wrong with the grammar and style instead of waiting for a teacher to mark it.
5 / 5
Reading practice feels real
The texts are actual signs, articles and newspaper extracts, not made up sentences that don't sound like real English.
4 / 5
Listening at the right pace
The announcements and everyday conversations are clear enough to follow but still sound natural, not slowed down artificially.
5 / 5
Speaking practice built my confidence
The simulated scenarios got me comfortable answering simple questions and talking about my likes and dislikes before the real exam.
5 / 5
Works on my phone and the web
I do exercises on my iPhone on the bus and pick up right where I left off on the website at home.
5 / 5
Clean and simple to use
No clutter, no distractions, just B1 exercises laid out clearly. Exactly what I wanted from an exam prep app.
5 / 5
Passed my PET with this as my main prep
I used this daily for about two months and it covered everything I needed for the exam.
5 / 5
Word formation finally clicked
I always struggled turning adjectives into nouns and back again. The repetition here made it click.
5 / 5
Good balance across all skills
I was weak on listening specifically and this gave it just as much space as grammar, which helped a lot.
5 / 5
Instant writing feedback is a big deal
Getting corrections on my writing the moment I submit it saved me from waiting days for a tutor to reply.
5 / 5
Support team actually answers
I had a billing question and got a reply quickly. Nice to see that backed up in practice.
5 / 5
Sentence transformations got much easier
I used to freeze on these in practice tests. After weeks of drilling them here they feel almost automatic now.

My school uses this for our class
Our teacher set us up with the school package and it's been a good addition to normal lessons.
5 / 5
Reading section has real depth
There's a genuinely large library of texts, not just a handful recycled over and over.
5 / 5
Speaking scenarios feel like the real exam
Practicing simple back and forth questions made the actual face to face part of PET feel much less scary.
5 / 5
Great for everyday English confidence
This isn't about fancy vocabulary, it's about handling everyday situations, which is exactly what I needed for B1.
5 / 5
Rated it highly and I agree
I saw the reviews before downloading and they weren't exaggerating. The B1 content is properly done.
5 / 5
Cross platform sync just works
I switch between the app and the website without ever losing my progress. Small thing that makes a real difference.
5 / 5
Listening variety is good
Different accents and situations, from announcements to casual chats, kept my ear adjusting instead of getting used to just one voice.
5 / 5
Use of English cloze exercises are plentiful
I must have done a hundred multiple choice cloze exercises by now and I still haven't run out.
5 / 5
Writing feedback caught mistakes I kept making
It flagged the same style issue in three different pieces before I finally fixed the habit.
5 / 5
No wasted time on busywork
Every exercise maps to something in the actual exam. Nothing feels like filler.
5 / 5
Good stepping stone before B2
Finished my B1 prep here and I already feel more ready to move up a level.
5 / 5
Simple interface, no distractions
I don't need flashy graphics, I need to practice. This gets straight to the point.
5 / 5
Reading texts pushed my comprehension
Working out a writer's attitude in a short article was harder than I expected, and this app gave me plenty of practice at it.
5 / 5
Covers a lot of ground
Compared to a private tutor this covers a lot more ground and fits around my schedule.
5 / 5
Speaking confidence improved a lot
I used to go blank when asked simple questions in English. The practice scenarios fixed that over a few weeks.
5 / 5
Good for classroom use
Our teacher assigns exercises from this and it's nice having something that lines up with what we do in lessons.
5 / 5
Writing got a lot less intimidating
Getting feedback right away instead of waiting for homework to be marked made me actually want to write more.

Everyday English, properly covered
This isn't trying to be fancy, it just drills the everyday English PET actually tests, and it does that well.
4 / 5
App and web work together nicely
I like being able to do quick sessions on my phone and longer ones on my laptop without losing my place.

Listening improved faster than expected
A few weeks of the listening suite and I stopped needing to replay clips three times to catch the answer.
5 / 5
Good structure for a big exam
PET felt overwhelming until I had all five papers organised in one place to work through steadily.
5 / 5
Would like a few more speaking topics
The speaking scenarios are useful but I'd enjoy some variety beyond the usual likes and dislikes prompts.
5 / 5
Genuinely helped my confidence
Handling everyday English used to make me nervous. After a couple of months with this I feel much steadier.
5 / 5
Practical and to the point
No hype, just proper B1 content across every part of the exam. Does what it says.
5 / 5
Word formation exercises are well made
They're varied enough that I'm not just memorising patterns, I'm actually understanding how the words change.
4 / 5
Happy with the whole package
Between the writing feedback, the reading library and the speaking practice, this covers everything I needed for PET.
