Why "Code rust"? (The Rust language already has enough problems of confusion with the Rust game.)

I'm guessing it is "rust" as in "rusty," like "my skills are rusty, so I will use coderust to improve them." I did click the link expecting to see something about rust, though, so I guess it's unfortunately a little confusing.

Sounds neat. Has anyone here tried it? I might buy it if people think it's really good. I've got to say though, the reviews on the google app store are getting the side-eye from me. Lots of five star reviews that praise the features listed in the marketing. That's not all there is to it, but I'm not quite sure how to convey why they seem fake.. Did anyone else get that feeling?

I (for one) read through all the reviews and didn't get the feeling that they were fabricated (probably because I personally know 90% of the people and have seen their feedback on other forums (I.e. Facebook).

Having said that, the app. does indeed have some areas for improvement, as enumerated by several folks here. But I think it's an excellent attempt at demystifying some of the recurring programming questions we've all seen (and been stumped on) at one time or another during interviews :)

Looks neat. I'd buy if it doesn't require internet. Does anyone know if internet is needed to run the app or you can read offline?

The app can run in offline mode. No internet connection is required. The only time Internet is required is when you buy it from Google Play and run the application for the first time. Connection is required to validate the purchase with Google servers. Internet is never required for iOS.

Thanks, I'll give it a try.

This should not be an app - it should be a service, billed at $12/year (or $10 for a 3 month pass), with fresh content/languages added regularly. This would turn your company into something potentially investable, and would give you a steadily increasing stream of income. You'd also be able to increase the price over time as you add more and more value to your offering.

This should also be a web app, as many people have pointed out to you. As awesome as mobile is, web is still easier to share and convert users on, and while everyone has a web machine, not everyone has a tablet.

Why do they need to know my location?

We are using Flurry to track usage (pretty standard among apps) and it uses the location information to show the usage of app by Country and City. We don't explicitly collect your location information and our privacy policy clearly states that we don't share any information with any one.

If it's just getting country/city data, you should only be requesting "course" location permission. You're requesting "fine" location, which will give the user's precise lat/long. You might want to change that.

Yes! I'd pay 10$ a year for it or 8 for 2 month.
