BlackBerry users can now access the Easy K53 application for free from Vodacom's app store.
Launched in September by mobile content and applications provider, LuckyMobile, the Easy K53 app is an interactive mobile app designed to help prospective motorists make the grade when it comes to SA's driver's licence test, based on the K53 standard.
According to LuckyMobile, while the K53 test is designed to measure the learner driver's ability to handle a vehicle, obey traffic rules and cope with practical problems on the road, “it is highly complex, and statistics suggest that many people fail the first time around”.
MD of LuckyMobile Laurence Seberini says the app allows learner drivers to identify their weaknesses in real-time using their mobile handsets. “The app presents the learner with those questions that were answered incorrectly during the simulated test, providing a useful revision exercise.”
Seberini explains the app is split into two main segments, a practice mode with real-time feedback to identify problem areas, and a test mode. “The latter allows users to take a realistic simulated test. A detailed breakdown of the test results enables the learner to identify which parts of the syllabus require additional work and practice.”
While the app has been free for Android phones since its inception, LuckyMobile announced on Friday the app would be available to BlackBerry users free of charge, for a limited period of time. “[The app] is exclusive to Vodacom for the month of December, and will always be free to anyone who downloaded it during December. After December, it will cost R30 across a variety of app stores.”
The app also runs on the Apple iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad (iOS 4.0 and above). The cost of the app for these devices varies from about R30.
To download the app, visit www.easyk53.co.za, iTunes or the Vodacom App Store.
