## Review summary

The HireVue app shows a split picture: some users report it works and find value in the pre-interview process, while many others struggle with reliability and usability. Repeated problems include crashes during recording, interruptions, and a complex workflow. Access barriers on restricted devices and privacy concerns about AI processing add to the frustration. A minority still find it helpful when it functions properly.

### Pros

- Some users report the app works well when functioning, with mentions like 'everything just worked' or simply 'good'.
- Pre-interview workflow is valued by at least one reviewer, including an automated follow-up after interviews.
- A few reviews explicitly describe the app as helpful when it works.

### Cons

- Frequent crashes and interruptions during recording (e.g., 'crashed during interview' and 'interrupted before recording my response' reported by multiple users).
- Very confusing and non-intuitive user experience with a long, cluttered workflow and too many steps to complete a task.
- Accessibility and device/installation barriers (difficulty installing, college/library restrictions, government or limited-data devices).
- Privacy concerns about AI processing of responses and potential data harvesting.
- Audio/video quality issues and user discomfort (needing to be very close to the camera, hearing problems, and high volume requirements).
