Permitto is a study app for the written test for a US car learner's permit. You pick your state, and the questions are written from that state's driver handbook. It covers every state and the District of Columbia.
You can practice by topic, take mock exams in your state's test format, learn the road signs, and see a readiness score and your weakest topics. The app and its questions are in English and Spanish. It is not affiliated with any state DMV or government agency.
What it does
Built around your state
Pick your state and Permitto shows how its permit test works: the number of questions and the pass mark, where the state publishes them. You can change state at any time, and your progress is kept for each state.
Questions from your handbook
Every question is written from your state's driver handbook, and the app names the handbook it used. Questions are grouped into topics such as road signs, right of way, speed, parking and alcohol and drugs.
Practice with explanations
Practice by topic or in a mix. After each answer you see whether you were right and why, with a drawing where one helps. Questions you have not seen come first, then the ones you got wrong.
Exams that score you
Take an exam in your state's style. Answers are shown after the last question, as a test would. Where a state has separate parts, such as road signs and road rules, each part is scored on its own.
Road signs with clear drawings
Practice the signs on their own, or meet them inside questions. Signs and some situation drawings have descriptions for screen readers.
Readiness and mistakes
A readiness score shows how much of the question bank you have answered correctly, by topic, and names your weakest topics. A Mistakes list gathers the questions you last got wrong so you can practice them again.
English and Spanish
The screens and the questions follow the language you choose in the app. Read aloud speaks a question and its answers, and the explanation after you answer, using your phone's text-to-speech voice.
Save and move your progress
There is no account. Save your answers and exam results to a file and load it on another phone. Light and dark themes are available, and the layout adapts to tablets.
Where your data lives
Your progress stays in a private database on your phone: the state you chose, which questions you answered and whether you were right, and your exam scores. There is no account and no sign-in, and we run no server that receives your progress. The app does use the internet for Google services it relies on and to send a crash report if it crashes; the privacy policy lists each one. None of that includes your answers or scores. A progress file is written only when you ask, to the place you choose. If you report a problem with a question, the app opens your email app, and nothing is sent unless you send the message. Read aloud passes the question on screen to your phone's text-to-speech service. If Android's device backup is turned on, your progress may be included in it. Uninstalling the app removes your progress from the phone.
Questions
Which states does Permitto cover?
It covers every state and the District of Columbia. You choose your state when you start and can change it later in Settings. It is for the regular car learner's permit written test, not for commercial driver (CDL) tests or motorcycle tests.
Where do the questions come from?
We write them from each state's driver handbook, which that state's motor vehicle agency publishes. The state screen names the handbook used for your state. They are our own questions, not copied from any state's test. For the rules that apply to you, check your state's handbook.
Is Permitto affiliated with the DMV?
No. Permitto is made by LogicGateGames LLC. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by or connected to any state DMV, motor vehicle agency or other government agency. It does not issue permits or licenses, and it does not schedule tests.
Will practicing in Permitto guarantee I pass the real test?
No, and we make no such promise. Permitto is a study aid. Its questions are not the questions on your state's test, and laws change. Your state's handbook is the authority. If the app and the handbook disagree, follow the handbook and tell us so we can correct the app.
Does Permitto have Spanish questions?
Yes. Questions, answers and explanations are available in English and Spanish, and they follow the language you choose in the app. You can follow your phone's language or pick one in Settings. Read aloud uses a voice for the language you chose, if your phone has one.
What is the difference between practice and exam mode?
Practice shows whether you were right and the explanation after every answer, by topic or mixed. Exam mode works like the test: you answer all the questions first, then see your score and review your mistakes. Where a state publishes no pass mark, you get a practice score instead.
Does Permitto keep my progress, and what if I get a new phone?
Yes, on your phone, for each state. You can save your progress to a file in Settings and import it on another phone. Android's device backup may also restore it if you have that turned on. Uninstalling removes it, so save a file first if you want to keep it.
Does Permitto work on tablets?
Yes. Phones use portrait. Tablets and open foldables can rotate, and the content keeps a readable width on large screens. Both light and dark themes are available.
Requirements
- Android 8.0 or later
- Phones and tablets
