myVicRoads 12+

When will this be rolling out to places like Melbourne? How long is the trial going to last in Ballarat? It’s so hard to find relating information online, other than a few news articles. Would be awesome to have some explanations or updates on the VicRoads website.

You would think that with so many people trying to get their learners in victoria they would at least TRY and make their app easily accessible and clear to understand. But they haven’t.

I’ve been trying to figure out how to take my online learners test for two days now and I’ve genuinely made no progress. They tell you that you need to enrol for a course and that you can do so “from your dashboard”. Nowhere on the whole app can you find a “dashboard”. Don’t even get me started on finding the actual ONLINE test. The only information they give you about taking the test is that you can book to sit it in person, and then proceed to give no other information concerning the online aspect.

Not to mention, I’ve had to strictly use the web version on my laptop because on my phone it makes me use about three different types of login methods every. single. use. It’s the exact same for the myLearners app too. Online bank apps don’t even use this much security.

I downloaded this app in the hope that the availability of the app on the App Store meant that electronic licences were finally being rolled out for Victorian drivers licence holders. I was wrong. The app told me I had to register on the VicRoads website and wait in line.
Then an update was served to my phone. I opened the updated app in the vain hope that the availability of the update meant that I would be able to use my electronic drivers license. I was wrong again.
Again the app directed me to register on the VicRoads website and wait in line. I clicked on the link and to my surprise the website said registration isn’t necessary but I would have to wait in line.
Then another update, and another, and so forth. Same messages and outcome each time.
So far at as I can see the left hand doesn’t know what the right hand is doing at VicRoads.
Thus app is an utterly utterly utterly useless waste of space in my phone with no functionality whatsoever except to frustrate users. If that was VicRoads’ intention, then this app is a complete success. Otherwise, it’s a failure.
