What's inside
These are the numbers in the app as it ships. Nothing here is a plan for a later version.
Every question explains why the right answer is right, so a wrong one teaches you something.
One topic at a time: read it, then practise it. Your weakest topics are listed in Exam Prep.
Short enough to read on a break, with the topic's questions straight after.
Got it takes a card out of the deck. Again sends it to the back. There are 40 mnemonics as well.
In the Constable Companion, each with its section, its Act and the points to prove.
Listed beside the offences, so the power and the offence it goes with are in one place.
The wording of the Act itself, quoted from legislation.gov.uk, behind the offences and powers.
How you use it
Mocks
The clock runs and nothing is marked until you submit. When your real result comes back, you can record it next to your practice scores and see how close the mocks were.
Verbal Drills
Three drills: the caution, GOWISELY for a stop and search, and the ESD arrest wording after a failed roadside breath test. The screen goes blank while you speak, so you can't read it off. Afterwards it shows what you missed.
Somewhere you can't talk? Type it instead.
Topics
Open a topic, read the short lesson, then answer its questions. Questions are scheduled for review, and there's a daily question goal if you want one.
Your progress is stored on the phone.
The law in the app
Law text: 25 October to 9 November 2026
Where a Companion card has legislation behind it, the wording is quoted from legislation.gov.uk and reused under the Open Government Licence. The text was downloaded from legislation.gov.uk between 25 October and 9 November 2026.
740 legislation cards are listed for the law as it applies. 55 more stay hidden until you choose to include changes in the law: text that only amends another Act, provisions that are not yet in force, and repealed provisions.
Points to prove, penalty lines and notes are compiled from that quoted text and labelled as compiled. The quoted text is the authority. Contains public sector information licensed under the Open Government Licence v3.0.
This is a study aid. It is not legal advice, and it is not a substitute for the legislation, a force's own policy, or College of Policing guidance. Check the live source before you rely on a point.
You can use the whole app without an account. Sign-in, if you want it, is with Apple, Google, or a one-time email link. There is no password. Progress stays on the phone, and can sync between your devices when you are signed in. The app has no advertising and no third-party tracking. Read the Privacy Policy.
Price
One-off, including any applicable VAT. No subscription and nothing renews.
There are no purchases inside the app. If the store charges for the download, Apple or Google take the payment. We never see or hold card details. Refunds are requested from the store that took the payment. Your statutory rights are in the Terms.

Legislation on the Companion cards is quoted from legislation.gov.uk, from text downloaded between 25 October and 9 November 2026. Compiled notes are labelled as compiled. The app is a study aid, not an official source. Check the live legislation before you rely on it.
The microphone is used only in Verbal Drills, and only while you are recording. Every drill can be typed instead. Where the phone can transcribe on the device, the audio stays there. Where it cannot, the audio is sent to Apple or Google — whichever provides the phone's speech service — to be turned into text. The app says which of the two applies before the microphone opens. We never receive or store the audio. The text is used to mark that drill and is not saved.
Only if you leave "Help improve the app" on. That produces combined figures across many people, such as which topics are hardest, and never a report about you. A figure covering fewer than 20 people is not produced. Turn the control off in Profile and your study data is left out.
In the app, open Profile, tap Delete account, then Delete forever. You can also use the account deletion page or email us. Deletion in the app removes the account immediately. An email request is completed within 30 days.
