  • ilee, : 1. Initial setup & permissions The app immediately asks for accessibility permissions on my Mac. Personally, I'm not comfortable granting that level of access to every application I install, especially without understanding exactly why it's needed. For example, when installing Claude Code, Codex, or other AI agents, I don't remember being asked for this kind of permission. I might be wrong here, so don't take this too seriously, but I usually uninstall applications that request this kind of access right away. I decided to give Ilee a chance and proceed with testing, but I think it would help to explain why these permissions are necessary and what they allow the app to do. 2. Authentication & first-time experience The following URL seems completely broken on my Mac: https://ilee.ai/auth/desktop/return The UI only appears in the top-left corner of the screen. It might be specific to my setup, but I'd recommend checking it. It's not a huge issue, but it's part of the first-time user experience. Also, I spent around 15 minutes trying to grant screen recording permissions. I kept opening and closing settings, trying to get it to work. For some reason, Ilee wouldn't answer my questions until I approved screen recording access. The whole process was quite frustrating and made it difficult to even start testing the app. At one point, the application completely stopped responding. I eventually had to ask Claude Code to kill the process so I could reopen it. It seemed like Ilee had completely lost track of what was happening on my computer. 3. Discoverability & onboarding One thing that confused me was figuring out how to actually open Ilee. After installing it, I couldn't find the floating assistant anywhere. Eventually, I realized that the icon was in my Mac's menu bar, and I could use Option + Command + Chat to open the interface. I don't think a new user should have to figure this out independently. Ideally, the assistant should become visible automatically after installation, or there should be a very clear explanation of how to access it. Another thing I noticed is that after downloading the app, I had no idea what I was supposed to do with it. I'd love to see some kind of onboarding experience that walks users through the main features. For example, you could ask them to try taking a screenshot, analyzing a webpage, or completing a simple task. Show the value of the product immediately rather than making users ask the AI what it can do. 4. What I liked & what could make it much better Overall, I really like the idea behind Ilee. As I understand it, the assistant can continuously observe your screen and help you with whatever you're doing. I actually found myself wanting to use it while developing. For example, when working on something, I often take screenshots and send them to Claude Code to get help understanding or solving a problem. However, the current interaction feels a little too manual. If I want help, I have to open the chat, type my question, wait for it to process my screen, and then read the answer. It would be much more convenient if I could simply press a keyboard shortcut, ask a question using my voice, and have Ilee display the answer immediately in a small window on either side of my screen. That would make the experience feel much more like having an actual assistant working alongside you rather than another chatbot you have to interact with manually. 5. AI agent & computer control I wanted to test whether Ilee could actually interact with my browser and perform actions. For example, I had a ChatGPT conversation open in my browser and asked Ilee to interact with it. Unfortunately, it kept answering the same question over and over instead of completing the task. I'm not sure whether I misunderstood how the feature works or whether something went wrong. I'd be happy to share my email so you can look into the logs and see what happened. I think this is probably one of the most important parts of the product. If I could simply give Ilee a task and have it actually interact with my computer, click buttons, navigate websites, and perform actions on my behalf, it would become significantly more useful. For example, telling it to reply to an email, and it actually opens your inbox, understands the conversation, drafts a response, and sends it (with your approval). That's the kind of functionality that would make me genuinely interested in using and paying for Ilee. 6. Would I pay? Yes, potentially. I really like the underlying concept, and I can see myself using it regularly if the experience becomes more polished and reliable. I'm not entirely sure how the credit system works yet, so I can't comment on the pricing in detail. However, if the app could reliably help me with everyday computer tasks and actually perform actions on my behalf, I'd definitely consider paying for it. I really like the vision behind Ilee.
  • LifeOverview, : The navigation bar immediately gives me the impression that this is a vibe-coded app. The left border especially looks weird and makes the whole thing feel a bit unfinished. In the Pay Splitter, I couldn't change the currency to USD. It seems to be a bug. There's just way too much stuff going on. I'm genuinely confused about what I'm supposed to do next or where I'm supposed to start. It would be nice to have some kind of onboarding that guides me through the app and shows me what I can actually do. You have to remember that most people aren't going to spend time figuring everything out themselves. Make it simple and guide them through the experience. Also, I really don't like how almost everything in the navigation is hidden behind the Pro plan. I can't even try most of the features before deciding whether I want to pay for them. Give users a bit more freedom to explore the app before asking them to upgrade. The most interesting feature I wanted to try was the AI assistant, but that's locked behind Pro too. I'm definitely not paying for something before I even get to try it. On the positive side, my data seems to be saving correctly, so no issues there. Overall, the dashboard is really hard to navigate. Every time I click around, I often end up on a feature that's locked behind Pro. It's confusing and makes me lose interest pretty quickly. I think the biggest thing you need to work on is simplifying the experience. Make it clear where users should start, guide them through the app, and let them actually try the interesting features before asking for money.
  • Ventari, : When I first opened the app, the main UI appeared for a few seconds before redirecting me to the login page. This feels like a major bug and could potentially create security concerns that need to be investigated. I really like how simple the UI is. It's clean and easy to understand. A few issues I noticed: - The car scheduling field automatically cuts off my input after 16 characters. This is a very basic functionality issue that should be fixed. - I encountered too many loading screens and got stuck on one of them for quite a while. - I'm hesitant about the overall idea of putting money into a service just so I can use it with my friends. I also have some important questions about how the money works. For example, if I contribute $1,000 and my friend contributes $200, is that treated as one shared balance? What happens if I put in $1,000 but later decide I can't go? Do I lose my money, or can I withdraw it?
  • Mile Zero: Weed Break Tracker, : I really like the road trip theme. It's a very cool and memorable concept, and the idea made sense to me right away. The onboarding is very simple, which is a big plus. I would definitely keep it that way. The app feels very calming, and I love how easy it is to use. After testing several other apps, this one really stood out to me. It has fewer features, but honestly, I think that's one of its biggest strengths. It focuses on solving one specific problem instead of trying to do everything at once. A few things I noticed: - I would work on the UI a little more to make certain sections clearer. For example, when I reached Day 21 and saw the Rocky Gap screen, I wasn't sure what the purpose of that screen was or what I was supposed to do next. - The Pull Over feature is amazing. I think it's one of the strongest parts of the app. It might be even better with a few more variations of activities or suggestions so users don't get the same experience every time. - I got a little stuck on the home screen because I wasn't entirely sure what I was supposed to do next. A slightly clearer onboarding experience or some guidance on the home screen could help. - I couldn't find the Express Lane feature, so it might be worth making it easier to discover. Overall, I think the product has a really smart concept and a clear purpose. I especially like that it focuses on one specific problem and doesn't overwhelm users with unnecessary features. That's something I wish more apps would do. I don't personally use cannabis, so I wouldn't be a daily user myself, but I can definitely see the appeal for the target audience. I didn't notice any bugs, crashes, or major technical issues during testing.
  • ClassPulse: GPA & Study Plan, : First of all, I really love the welcome screen. It looks amazing and gives a great first impression. The overall design is really nice too. I especially like the color palette, the 3D elements, and the animations. Everything feels quite polished, and I think the core idea is genuinely useful. A few things I noticed while testing: - Some parts of the UI have a bit of an AI-generated or vibe-coded feel. I would try to make the design more natural and consistent. For example, the colored left borders and some of the icons make certain sections look AI-generated. - I'd remove some of the AI-looking icons, like the one in the "Want a heads up before this is due?" section. A simpler design would look more professional. - I'm not currently in school, so I couldn't really test the syllabus feature with my own classes. However, I can definitely see how useful that could be for students. - The date picker for creating an event was a little confusing. It takes up almost the entire screen, and when I try to scroll through the content, it feels like the date picker gets in the way. - I don't think notifications should be mandatory. Users should be able to explore and use the app without being forced to enable the - My biggest suggestion I think the What-If feature could be one of the strongest features of this app, especially for college students. Being able to see how a potential exam score affects your final grade is genuinely useful and something I could see myself using regularly. However, I couldn't really find this feature while exploring the app. I think the navigation and overall feature discoverability could use some work. The most valuable features should be easy to find without having to search through different screens. Overall, I really like the idea and think there's a lot of potential here. The design is already heading in a great direction. I'd focus on making the UI feel a little less AI-generated, simplifying some interactions, and making the most valuable features more obvious.
  • Kronos: Work. Earn. Grow., : A few things I noticed while testing: - I didn't like being asked for permissions right away. I'd rather see what the app actually does first and then decide whether to grant them. - For some reason, it asked me to register immediately, which felt a bit strange. - It's not clear at all what I'm supposed to do once I get into the app. I felt a little lost and didn't know where to start. - I couldn't add money from my bank account, which is a problem for me since that's the only way I can fund the account. I imagine other users might run into the same issue, too. - I really like the little character! It's a cool mascot and gives the app some personality. I think more apps should have something like that. Overall, I think the app has a lot of potential, especially the idea of building something specifically for freelancers. I could genuinely see myself using it. However, I think there are too many features for such an early-stage product. Everything feels a little overwhelming, and it's hard to understand what the main purpose of the app is or what I'm supposed to do next. If I were building this, I'd cut down most of the features and focus on one clear problem for one specific type of user. Right now, it feels like a bunch of different financial features put together without a very clear direction, which makes the experience feel a bit clunky. I like the idea, but I'd love to see a much simpler experience that makes it immediately obvious what the app is for and how I can get value from it.
