Apps for the German citizenship test, compared honestly

Germany publishes every question of the Einbürgerungstest, free, in a regulation. So the difference between apps is not the questions but everything around them. Here is what each one says it offers, checked on 20 October 2026.

Who wrote this

Belong Germany makes one of the apps on this page, so read it knowing that. Every line about another app is what its publisher says on its own App Store page, Google Play page or website, read on 20 October 2026, with the link under Sources. Ratings are those stores' own figures on that day.

What to look for before you pay

The apps, side by side

Ours first so you know where it stands, the rest in no particular order. Prices and ratings are as each store showed them on 20 October 2026.

Which one to use

To learn the catalogue, start with BAMF's free Online-Testcenter. If you want it on your phone with a translation, several free apps carry all 310 questions for your Bundesland, and the most popular have tens of thousands of ratings.

If you also want to know where you stand on everything else German citizenship asks of you, Belong Germany is the one built for that: residence, B1 German, the five year path and dual citizenship, in the same app as the practice, in English, Turkish or Arabic. Its own questions help you understand the material rather than memorise answers. What you enter stays on your phone. If you also want to speak everyday German out loud, the optional Speak add-on has Saga, an AI conversation partner.

Questions people ask

Is there an official Einbürgerungstest app?

No. BAMF offers the full catalogue for free in its Online-Testcenter on the web, but no app. Every app on this page is independent.

Are the questions in the apps the real ones?

They can be, because BAMF publishes all of them. Apps that say they carry the official questions are reproducing that catalogue. Belong Germany writes its own questions instead and points you to the catalogue.

How many questions do I need right?

17 of 33, in 60 minutes.

There are 1,026 practice questions in the app.

1,026 questions, drilled module by module in the order the binding curriculum sets them, with a mistakes deck, spaced repetition and a mock at the real paper’s pace: 30 questions in 55 minutes. The mock gives you a score and no pass verdict, because three of the real 33 come from your own Bundesland and those are not ours to write.

Written by Belong Germany from the subject areas of the official catalogue. They are not BAMF’s questions, and the real sitting uses its own.
