4/5Great with one issue
overall really great and helpful app. My one complaint is that the titles of the questions generally answer the question. You match the title with the option that has that phrase or name in it and it’s correct ~80% of the time.

5/5Really great for Junior Engineers and CS majors
The app is really good if you’re trying to learn system designs way ahead of entering the job market, or if you’re already a junior engineer trying to level up. I’m currently trying to switch careers into engineering and it’s been helping me learn as much as possible about system designs.

2/5Stuck in the setting menu - bug or intentional?
I was really excited to download the app after seeing it on social media, and the intro quiz experience was well done. After completing it, I was immediately overwhelmed with upselling menus and now I am locked at the “Settings” menu until I pay. Is this a bug or is this intentional? It’s not clear either way, it’s a disappointing experience for someone who just downloaded the app 30s earlier.

1/5No free tier
While I understand it took a-lot of effort to create these questions and even develop the app, I feel like charging a subscription to access the basic necessities of it seems rather harsh. I assumed that the premium tier would allow you to take more complex questions or practice concepts that are common for larger companies. A free tier seems warranted maybe you’re only allowed one basic question a day or something and not allowed any of the forums, discords, or analytics.
