🎉 Meet Jake Foraker, our lead mobile engineer at Brainscape and an ultimate champion of our users! He’s constantly absorbing your feedback and transforming it into the latest mobile innovations that make your study experience better every day.🚀 Have you noticed Dark mode on the Brainscape mobile app this week? Thanks, Jake 👏 When we asked about his proudest Brainscape accomplishment, he didn’t hesitate: Smart Study. 🎯 "It was a team effort, and we believe it's revolutionized the way users approach learning. We’re incredibly proud of it." (Oh, and did we mention Jake’s humble too? 😉) When he’s not performing engineering miracles, Jake is all about staying sharp—literally. He squeezes in squats and stretches at his desk to keep things lively and his productivity high. 💪 But here’s a fun twist: Jake also moonlights as a DJ, spinning tunes and spreading good vibes. Somehow, that doesn’t surprise us at all. 🎧 Jake’s parting wisdom: "Behind the scenes, the Brainscape team is committed to continuous improvement, user feedback, and crafting an awesome user experience." 💡 We couldn’t do it without you, Jake! 👏 #MeetTheTeam #Innovation #UserExperience #MobileEngineering #ProductivityHacks

Small tweaks, big impact. [Maximizing early conversion opportunities] By refining gesture controls in the Brainscape app, we’ve unlocked subtle conversion opportunities early in the user funnel. These intuitive changes are already showing tremendous results downstream, enhancing user engagement and satisfaction. During recent live focus group testing, we discovered an interesting behavior: many users were ignoring our large navigation buttons in the Brainscape app and instinctively tapping the card or swiping as they would in photo apps. Despite our big, obvious buttons, years of smartphone usage have trained users to expect certain gestures. So, we made some changes! The buttons remain, but now tapping the card reveals the answer, and swiping moves to the next or previous card. If users try something unexpected, they'll get a helpful pop-up with instructions. This tweak enhances simplicity and makes the app more intuitive for everyone. Have you tried the new gestures? Share your thoughts with us! #UserExperience #AppDesign #MobileApp #EdTech #UserFeedback
