“it's good, does what it says. hotkey stuff works well, barely any lag. i didn't get the google offer (got rejected at system design round which this tool doesn't help with tbh) but i did land at a series B fintech which i'm actually happier about. the algo prep side helped a lot. 4 stars bc it is what it is, not magic”
“honestly was not expecting much when i first tried. but the voice followup thing is actually very useful only. i ask "why dp here" and it explains properly na. got amazon offer after 3 months prep. one thing - sometimes claude and gpt give very different answers and i don't know which one to trust lol. but overall very good tool only”
“solid tool, been using it 6 weeks. helps me understand the 'why' behind solutions more than just reading editorials. knocked out my uber loop, waiting on results. minor gripe: wish there was a way to save solutions for later review. but for what it does, it does it well”
“the screen share protection actually works. tested it on zoom with a friend before trusting it. they couldn't see anything. that alone removes so much anxiety from the process. rest of the features are solid too, voice mode is underrated and people sleep on it”
“I am from Hyderabad and preparing for US job market from past 8 months. Multiple AI providers feature is very good. Sometimes gemini explains better, sometimes claude is better only. For graph problems I always check both. My english is not perfect but tool works perfectly fine. Got offer from US company remote position. Very happy with this.”
“was skeptical at first, felt like cheating. but then i realized interviews aren't testing if you memorize solutions, they test pattern recognition. using this to study patterns is fair game imo. switched from robinhood to stripe after 6 weeks of prep. stripe interviews were hard but i kept recognizing patterns i'd studied”
“tool works but it's not magic. you still need to actually practice and understand the material, it won't compensate for zero prep. that said for visualizing algorithm patterns and getting clear explanations it's genuinely useful. i use it as a study aid. landed a position at a fintech after my third interview attempt this year. would've got there without it too probably but it helped”
“bhai this thing is too good. i was on H1B and had to switch company fast so was very stressed. screen protection feature very useful when doing mocks on zoom with friends. TCS to google in one shot! only issue is sometimes solution window closes when i alt-tab fast but maybe i am doing something wrong only. overall 5 stars”
“my interview prep was genuinely a mess before this. would spend 2 hours on one hard problem getting nowhere, then feel demoralized. now i cap it at 25 min, use the tool to understand the approach, then implement myself. that structure change alone is worth it. passed google L4 loop, 3 out of 4 coding rounds felt comfortable”
“good for what it does. i mostly use step-by-step mode to understand problems i genuinely couldn't figure out on my own. voice followups are hit or miss for me, sometimes transcription gets confused with technical terms. but the core thing (screenshot → explanation) is reliable and fast. worth it during active interview season”
“captures from any window, not just leetcode. that's the feature that mattered most to me. company OAs, hackerrank, codesignal, internal platforms — all work fine. fast, quiet, does its job. frontend engineers still get algorithmic rounds and i was not prepared. this helped fix that gap”
