About BootFit
BootFit is an independent learning app for the theory exam for the Sportbootführerschein Binnen (SBF Binnen, inland boating licence) with motor. It is developed and operated in Germany.
What the app does
It presents the official exam questions unchanged, shuffles the answer positions, translates questions and answers into further languages (learning aid, not official), explains every answer, repeats mistakes on a schedule and simulates the exam according to the official rules – with a timer, question mix and pass thresholds. Web app, iOS and Android share one account.
Who it is for
For everyone taking one of these exams – especially learners whose first language is not German: Persian, English, Arabic and Turkish are shown under the German original, so that the exam text is learnt exactly as it appears in the exam.
Why the app exists
The official question catalogues are public, but hard to learn from as PDFs and only available in German. BootFit makes them accessible: searchable, translated, explained and with an honest exam simulation – without changing the content.
