Life in The UK APP - Terms of Use

Life in the UK Test  ·  Last updated: 30 June 2026

These Terms of Use (the “Terms”) form an agreement between you and Abdullah Ergun (“we”, “us”, “our”) and govern your use of the Life in the UK Test mobile application (the “App”). By downloading, installing or using the App, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the App.

In short: the App is an independent, unofficial study aid for the Life in the UK test. It is not connected to the UK Government. We try to keep the content accurate but cannot guarantee it, and using the App does not guarantee that you will pass the official test. There is a one-off optional in-app purchase to unlock all content and remove ads; payments and refunds are handled by your app store.

1. The App

The App provides practice questions, mock exams, study material and related features to help you prepare for the United Kingdom “Life in the UK” citizenship/settlement test. The App is designed to work offline; your progress and settings are stored on your device. We may add, change or remove features at any time.

2. Not an official or government product

The App is independent and unofficial. It is not affiliated with, authorised by, endorsed by, or connected to the UK Home Office, UK Visas and Immigration, or any UK Government body. “Life in the UK”, the official handbook and the official test are the property of their respective owners. The App provides our own original practice material and study notes and is not a copy of the official handbook.

3. No guarantee of results or accuracy

The App is a study aid provided for general educational purposes only. While we make reasonable efforts to keep questions and study material correct and up to date, laws, facts and the official test can change, and content may contain errors or omissions.

  • We do not guarantee that the App’s content matches the current official test or handbook.
  • We do not guarantee that using the App will result in you passing the official test.
  • The App does not provide legal, immigration or professional advice. For official information, always rely on the UK Government’s official sources and, where needed, a qualified adviser.

4. Eligibility

The App is intended for adults preparing for the Life in the UK test. By using the App you confirm that you are old enough to form a binding contract in your country (and at least the minimum age required by your app store). The App is not directed at children.

5. Licence to use the App

Subject to these Terms, we grant you a personal, limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to download and use the App on devices you own or control, for your own personal, non-commercial study. This licence does not transfer any ownership rights to you.

6. Things you must not do

You agree not to:

  • Copy, scrape, extract, republish, sell, sublicense or distribute the App or its content (including questions, explanations and study notes), in whole or in part;
  • Reverse engineer, decompile or attempt to derive the source code, except to the extent this restriction is prohibited by law;
  • Modify, create derivative works from, or remove any notices in the App;
  • Use the App in any unlawful way, or in a way that disrupts, damages or interferes with the App or any third-party service it relies on;
  • Attempt to bypass, disable or interfere with security, ad-serving, or purchase/entitlement features.

7. Intellectual property

The App and its content — including the question bank, explanations, study material, text, design, graphics, logos and the “PASS” flag icon — are owned by us or our licensors and are protected by intellectual-property laws. All rights not expressly granted to you are reserved.

8. Purchases, premium unlock and refunds

  • The App is free to download and includes free content. An optional one-off in-app purchase unlocks all tests and study material and removes adverts. The price shown in the App is set in your local currency by the app store and may change.
  • All payments are processed by Google Play or the Apple App Store (and managed in the App via RevenueCat). We do not receive or store your payment-card details.
  • The unlock is a one-off purchase, not a recurring subscription. You can use the “Restore purchase” option to re-apply it on a device signed in to the same store account.
  • Refunds are handled under the policies of Google Play or the Apple App Store. Please request refunds through the relevant store. Your statutory rights are not affected.

9. Advertising

Users who have not purchased the premium unlock may see adverts supplied by third parties (Google AdMob). Advertising and your related choices are described in our Privacy Policy. Purchasing the premium unlock removes adverts.

10. Third-party services

The App relies on third-party services for ads, optional notifications and purchases (for example Google AdMob, OneSignal, RevenueCat, and the app stores). Your use of those features may also be subject to the providers’ own terms and privacy policies. We are not responsible for third-party services, and external links in the App or related pages are provided for convenience only.

11. Your device and content

Your study data is stored locally on your device. You are responsible for your device, your app-store account, and for backing up anything you wish to keep. Uninstalling the App or resetting progress will permanently delete locally stored data.

12. Availability and changes

We provide the App on an ongoing “best-effort” basis. We may update, suspend or discontinue the App (or any feature) and may update its content at any time, with or without notice. We are not liable to you for any modification, suspension or discontinuation of the App.

13. Disclaimer of warranties

To the maximum extent permitted by law, the App and its content are provided “as is” and “as available”, without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the App will be uninterrupted, error-free, or that its content is complete or current.

14. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, we will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, or for any loss of data, profits, opportunity, or for the cost of any official test re-sit, arising out of or relating to your use of (or inability to use) the App. To the fullest extent permitted by law, our total aggregate liability for any claim relating to the App will not exceed the amount you paid us for the App (if any) in the 12 months before the claim. Nothing in these Terms limits liability that cannot be limited by law (such as for death or personal injury caused by negligence, or for fraud), and your non-excludable statutory/consumer rights remain unaffected.

15. Indemnity

You agree to indemnify and hold us harmless from claims, losses and reasonable costs arising from your misuse of the App or your breach of these Terms, to the extent permitted by applicable law.

16. Termination

These Terms apply for as long as you use the App. We may suspend or end your access if you breach them. You may stop using the App at any time by uninstalling it. Sections that by their nature should survive termination (for example sections 7, 13, 14 and 15) will continue to apply.

17. Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. The courts of that jurisdiction will have jurisdiction over disputes, except where mandatory consumer-protection law in your country of residence gives you the right to bring proceedings locally.

18. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. The “Last updated” date above shows when they last changed. Continuing to use the App after changes take effect means you accept the updated Terms.

19. Contact us

Life in The UK APP Privacy Policy

Privacy Policy

Life in the UK Test  ·  Last updated: 30/06/2026

This Privacy Policy explains how Abdullah Ergun (“we”, “us”, “our”) handles information in connection with the Life in the UK Test mobile application (the “App”). By using the App you agree to this policy.

In short: the App is designed to work offline. Your study data (test results, bookmarks, settings) is stored only on your device and is never sent to us. We do not require an account and do not ask for your name, email, or address. The limited data that is collected is handled by trusted third-party services for advertising, notifications and purchases, as described below.

1. Information stored only on your device

The following is saved locally on your phone (using your device’s local storage) and is not transmitted to us or any server:

  • Your test history, scores and pass/fail results
  • Bookmarked questions, “mistakes” and progress statistics
  • Your streak and chosen test date
  • App settings (theme, text size, language, reminder time, and other preferences)
  • Your premium-unlock status

You can erase this information at any time using Settings → Reset progress / Reset settings, or by uninstalling the App.

2. Information collected by third-party services

To provide ads, optional notifications and purchases, the App uses the third-party services below. These services may automatically collect certain information, such as a device or advertising identifier, IP address, device type and operating system, and basic usage or diagnostic data.

ServicePurposeExamples of dataTheir policy

Google Play / Apple App StoreProcessing in-app paymentsPurchase transaction data (handled by the store; we never see your card details)Google / Apple store terms

3. How information is used

  • To run the App and remember your progress and preferences on your device.
  • To display adverts to users who have not purchased the ad-free upgrade.
  • To process and restore your in-app purchase.
  • To send study reminders, only if you turn them on.
  • To keep the App secure, prevent fraud and fix problems.

We do not sell your personal information.

4. Advertising and your choices

Free users see adverts provided by Google AdMob. Depending on your settings and location, ads may be “personalised” (based on your advertising profile) or “non-personalised”.

  • If you are in the UK, EEA or another region that requires it, the App will ask for your consent before serving personalised ads, and you can change your choice at any time.
  • You can reset or delete your advertising identifier in your device settings (Android: Settings → Google → Ads; iOS: Settings → Privacy → Tracking).
  • The simplest way to remove ads entirely is to buy the one-off premium upgrade in the App.

5. Notifications

The App can send a daily study reminder. This is optional and off by default. You can turn reminders on or off in Settings → Study, or in your device’s notification settings.

6. Data retention

Data stored on your device remains until you reset it within the App or uninstall the App. Data held by the third-party services above is retained according to their retention policies (linked in the table).

7. Security

We take reasonable measures to protect information. However, no method of electronic storage or transmission is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

8. Children’s privacy

The App is intended for adults preparing for the Life in the UK Test. It is not directed at children, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age required by law in your country.

9. Your rights

Depending on where you live (for example under the UK GDPR / EU GDPR), you may have the right to access, correct, delete or object to the processing of your personal data, and to withdraw consent for personalised ads. Because most of your data lives only on your device, you can exercise many of these rights directly by resetting data in the App or uninstalling it. For requests relating to data held by us, contact us using the details below.

10. International transfers

The third-party services we use may process data on servers outside your country. Those providers commit to appropriate safeguards for such transfers (see their policies linked above).

11. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. The “Last updated” date at the top shows when it was last changed. Significant changes will be reflected here and, where appropriate, in the App.

Paper Poppy Tutorial

Tools:

  • Scissors or Craft Knife
  • Hot Glue Gun and Glue Sticks

Materials:

  • Red Glassine Paper 
  • White Craft Glue
  • Strip of Pale Green Paper
  • Strip of Black Paper
  • White Correction Liquid (or White Paint)
  • Floral Wire
  • Green Floral Tape




Step 1: Cut two 6 1/2 inch (16.5 cm) circles out of red glassine. Roughly divide each circle in thirds by making a small, tapered cut


Step 2: Place a finger in the middle of a disk and press it into the fist of your other hand, bringing the edges of the disk together and creating  a cup shape.

Step 3: Tightly and repeatedly, squeeze the paper in your fist to create as many creases as possible.

Step 4: Carefully open the disk, turn it inside out, and recollapse it into a cup shape as in step 2 and crease it again.

Step 5: Repeat Step 3, squeezing the paper in your fist for additional creases. The result should be a piece of paper that has many sharp creases radiating from the center of the disk.

Step 6: Carefully open the paper about halfway, being careful not to flatten it completely in the process

Step 7: Use scissors to separate the disk into three separate sections, cutting it apart at the notches created in Step 1. Repeat steps 2 through 7 for the second disk.

Step 8: Use scissors to make a small 1/2-inch (1.3 cm) incision in the pointed tip of each petal.

Step 9: Add a small dot of white craft glue to one side of the incision.

Step 10: Fold the two sides of the incision together at a 90ยบ angle and hold in placed until the glue dries.

Step 11: The result will be a slightly curved petal with a flat bottom.

Step 12: Repeat with the remaining five petals.

Step 13: Attach to petals to each other by their centers with a dot of white craft glue. Slightly overlap the edges of the first and second petals.

Step 14: Attach the third petal, overlapping its edges slightly with the previous two petals.

Step 15: Continue gluing the remaining three petals around the outside of the first three until you have a fully formed blossom.

Step 16: To create the center of the poppy, make a loose scroll using a 1 x 5 1/2-inch (2.4 x 14 cm) strip of pale green paper. Use a strip of black paper and a pair of scissors to create a strip of fringed paper.

Step 17: Glue the fringed black paper around the green scroll. Be sure to position the black paper so that the fringe extends above the top of the scroll. Shape the fringe with your fingers.

Step 18: Use white correction liquid or a small amount of white paint to apply highlights to the ends of the fringe.

Step 19: Attach the flower center to the middle of the glassine petals with a generous dot of hot glue. Hod in place until dry. Poppy leaves are elaborately shaped and can be time consuming to create. Luckily, these flowers are bold enough to stand on their own without added foliage.

Step 20: To finish, hot glue a sinuous stem to the bottom of the flower and arrange in groups of three or five stems.
