Ratings and reviews

Pretty okay so far except the big issue which is: every time I click a link in the app, a browser page opens of the Google play page to download the app I clicked the link from (except the download button says "Install on more devices". I have the free version, so maybe that's it, but there should be a better way to indicate that it's a paid feature instead of it looking like a bug. In fact, there's not a good/easy way on the difference between what you get with the free and paid versions.

Content shared here is very relevant for software professionals, but it lacks structure. Mostly content is in the form of byte sized chunks, and doesn't require long attention spans. At the same time, once the content is consumed, the action items you can take for yourself are not very straight forward. For someone not so good at softskills and organising oneself, it's not making it any easier.

This app is beneficial, and I wish I had found videos that could assist me in applying to Google and Microsoft.
