Driving test routes app - has anyone used? Worth getting?

My son is doing his driving test in a months time in a different part of London (Mill hill) to where we live.

It's too far for his driving instructor to go to practice and he wouldn't know the routes anyway.

He is a competent driver but I think it would be good to drive the main routes used for testing.
We have already driven around the area near the test centre once.

Has anyone used the 'Driving test routes' App?
Is it worth getting?
Does it download the route to Google maps?

Thanks

Is there a price for it? 

A friend did their test elsewhere long before apps were a thing, they paid for a long lesson with an instructor in the area and their parent went in the car. The instructor had him drive the routes, giving some advice and the parent made a note of the routes.

Have you checked on YouTube ?

More driving schools are uploading their lessons than ever

It costs £13 for a month so probably worth trying.
Yes, I might book a long lesson as well with a local driving instructor.

If he can't drive on roads without knowing them first, is he ready to be let loose with a full licence?

The examiner tells him where to turn. What else does a competent driver need to know?

When I sat my test- many moons ago- my instructor had taken me round all the k own routes used.

on the day I was taken on  totally different route to any of the previous ones. 

I did pass.
