Effective July 24, 2026 · So Smart Apps LLC · Tucson, Arizona
So Smart DRE is free — no ads, no subscription, nothing locked behind a paywall, and that isn't changing. It's built and maintained by a working deputy for the people going through the same school.
If it saved you some time and you'd like to chip in toward the hosting bill, there's a tip jar below. It's entirely optional and it unlocks nothing — the app is identical either way, and I'd rather you had the study time than the coffee.
Payments are handled by Stripe. So Smart Apps LLC never sees your card details. Contributions are not tax-deductible — this is a small business, not a charity.
Email leon@sosmartapps.app — a real person answers, usually within a day or two.
My progress isn't syncing. Make sure you're signed in to the same account on each device (look for "✓ synced" next to your name). Progress made while signed out lives only on that device until you sign in.
How do I set my own class dates? On the tracker, tap "⚙ My class dates," enter your pre-school date (required) and any others you know, and the full course of study is re-divided across your days.
How do I delete my account? Sign in → profile → "Delete my account and all cloud data," or in the app: Account → Delete account. It's immediate and permanent.
Where does the study material come from? The public 2023 NHTSA/IACP DEC Program curriculum (Preliminary School and 7-Day School participant manuals), split by session for one-tap reading.
