#2This sort of thing could be useful. I like the format. Not wild about code explanations with 5 clause sentences. This kind of mental juggling is what I love about programming and reading David Foster Wallace, but the writer(s) of the app don't write like my brain or DFW.
I'm just saying, when you are trying to make a dry subject explicable, you need to break up the sentences and make your variable names more distinct.

#3Why do you support everything except the PC :)
As someone prepping for interviews, I'd have loved to give this a shot if it was on the web.

#4Sounds 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?

9 reviews and 1-5 installs.
Not sure how those numbers are generated, but I get the same feeling as you.

#6One tip cause it's a big pet peeve of mine: move the images at the top in the a tags. That way you can click on them instead of just the text.
Looks cool, if it works and has good reviews, I'd buy it!

At least one of the reviewers posted separate 5-star reviews for the paid and free version on the same day.
Edit: And on more careful inspection, they do say that they bought the paid version after liking the free version. I may have jumped the gun on that one.

#8To echo some earlier comments. As someone currently preparing for an interview, I would definitely like to see a web version.

#9I had to look at the screenshots to see if the point of this was to test you on the questions or explain the questions. Exactly what it is could be a lot clearer.
Actually, the other side could be really interesting. The app shows you a problem (like the recognition of a number in a string) and shows you the unit tests. Then you're graded based on how many you pass.
