Questions about Civic Mosaic
Civic Mosaic is a study app for citizenship tests, coming soon to iPhone and Android. Here is what it covers, what it costs and what happens to your data.
About the app
What is Civic Mosaic?
A study app for citizenship tests. You get a short practice session each day, an explanation for every answer, and a map that shows which questions still need work.
Is this an official app?
No. Civic Mosaic is an independent study app. It is not affiliated with USCIS, the Home Office or any government.
When can I download it?
Not yet: Civic Mosaic is coming soon to iPhone and Android, for the US and UK tests first. Canada and Australia are planned, with no release date yet. The store links will appear on this site when the app is available.
Do I need an account?
No. Your answers and progress are saved on your phone.
Does it work without an internet connection?
Once the app is installed, daily practice, explanations and your map work without an internet connection; only links to official websites need one.
Tests and questions
Which tests does Civic Mosaic cover?
The US civics test (2025 version) and the Life in the UK test come first. The Canadian and Australian citizenship tests are planned, with no release date yet; Canadian questions are in English only.
Which version of the US civics test?
The 2025 civics test, for applications (Form N-400) filed on or after 20 October 2025. If you filed before then, you will take the 2008 test. Check which test you will take on USCIS.gov.
Where do the questions come from?
US questions and accepted answers use the official wording of the USCIS list of 128. UK, Canadian and Australian questions are written for Civic Mosaic from each country's official study guide. How we write and check the questions
Are these the questions in the real Life in the UK test?
No. They are practice questions written for Civic Mosaic. They are not the questions used in the official test, and no practice app can promise which questions you will be asked.
Will it tell me I am ready to pass?
It will not predict a pass. The ready check shows your own numbers next to the pass mark (12 of 20 right for the US test, 18 of 24 for the UK test), so you can judge for yourself.
I think a question is wrong. What should I do?
Please tell us. We check every report against the official source and correct the question bank if needed.
Privacy and your data
Does the app send my data anywhere?
You don't need an account. If you add a name for the app to greet you by, it is saved on your phone with your answers and progress, and the app does not send any of it to us. The app has no analytics, advertising or crash reporting. If that ever changes, for example to confirm a purchase, the privacy policy will say exactly what, why and for how long before that version is released.
What happens to my progress if I delete the app or change phones?
Deleting the app deletes your progress from your phone. On Android, your phone’s backup to your Google account, if it is turned on, includes it, and Android can restore it when you reinstall the app or set up a new phone. Setting up a new Android phone by copying data straight from the old one, for example with a cable, can copy it too. On iPhone, the app keeps your progress out of iCloud and computer backups. Privacy policy
How do reminders work?
If you turn on daily reminders, your phone’s own notification system schedules them. No server is involved, and you can turn them off at any time in the app or in your phone’s settings.
Prices and purchases
Is it free?
Daily practice, every explanation and your progress are free, and nothing can be bought in Civic Mosaic yet.
Is there anything to buy?
Not yet: nothing can be bought in Civic Mosaic.
How do restoring purchases and refunds work?
There is nothing to restore or refund, because nothing can be bought in Civic Mosaic yet.
Accessibility
Can I use larger text?
Yes. The app follows your phone’s text size setting. On iPhone it has been checked up to the largest accessibility size.
Does the map rely on colour?
No. Each tile shows how well you know its question by its shape (an outline, a dot, half filled or full), not only by its colour. For screen readers, the map is described in one sentence.
Can it read questions aloud?
Yes, in US interview practice: tap Read question, and the app reads it aloud, as an officer would.
Does this website work with a keyboard and with reduced motion?
Yes. Every link, button and sample question on this site works with a keyboard. If your device asks for less motion, the home page shows a still version, and the sample question still works.
