Be - Career Discovery

On the surface Be is brilliant - swipe through a stack of gorgeous cards and you'll discover the career of your dreams. If only it worked. The first problem I encountered was a lack of useful feedback. I've been swiping for hours - how close am I to having an answer? Then when you finally reach the end - still no answer. Part of the problem is Be's promise of "just swipe." I think you actually have to RATE and swipe. Not sure. It's confusing. Not clear where you view results - oh there it is, under the BOOKMARK icon. Weird. Well, that was a fail. Let's try it again. Wait...HOW DO YOU GO BACK THROUGH THE DECK...OR CAN YOU? Ok I'm through with Be. Shame. It has such a pretty face.

I love the concept. I love the endless career possibilities (well so far haha). I love the option to mark as gold, silver, or bronze in terms of interest. However, it is super buggy. Navigating is utter confusion—I open the app and it just says thank you...for what?? How do i access cards without the bookmark thing? How does this work? Sometimes the pictures are mixed up. Creating an account doesn't mean anything in the app. Keeps crashing. I agree with the person who gave suggestions such as colleges and more stats, it would be extremely beneficial. I'm going to delete the app for now, but I'll keep looking in. There's huge potential though, so I'm still excited.

Despite the obvious glitches (constant crashing, freezing on a "thank you" screen), this app has a cool concept. Three things I'd love to see in future updates: 1. A section in the app that lists the careers I've liked 2. A short list of external resources on each career that I've liked that can provide more information about the career 3. For the careers that require/recommend a higher education, a short list of schools that provide good programs/educational experiences in those fields This app has great potential, and I'm excited to see where this goes!
