Ratings and reviews

The first few questions were difficult with the layout, the prep period showed a video at the top, the question to be answered, then a small camera preview at the bottom that made it look like your face wasn't in the video. When it switched to the record period, (after adjusting the device position) the whole screen was now a poorly adjusted view of mostly the ceiling. The last few questions still maintained the question at the top of the screen and made it easier to answer the entire question.

Very intuitive and great app. It's crazy that in todays society we are doing interviews this way. the only reason I am giving it a 3 star is because I went through all of the equipment testing and my phone tested fine. the mic, camera, lighting, and connection were all good to go. however, once I started the interview it kept skipping and freezing for a split second. once the question was done it would say "Audio Too Low. Test equipment." so I would and the equipment tested fine.

The video feed in my interview repeatedly stuttered and paused, making me think it had stopped recording or crashed. Attempting to start the app after the interview additionally caused it to actually crash. The amount of data they're presumably collecting given the wording on the "allow us to collect data" button is concerning as well. Do not use if you have any option, but you likely don't.
