I really dislike this video. The voice is so loud and annoying over the oddly upbeat music for the message. It tells me nothing about why Waldo is like having a big QA Dept or why I would want to click the link. They sure named a lot of different things tho, it's good they know the different forms of testing

Yeah it’s sort of out of place on its own. Not so bad on a landing page that give me you other information.

For the target market the “being sold to” vibe is too much. Probably more aligned for an “as seen on tv” hair styler.

Does it support Android and iOS? Can the test be shared between the platforms?

It's strange that the "Price" page has no price at all. Only "free" or "call us".

It supports both Android and iOS but tests are kept separate between platforms. I think pricing is dependent on multiple factors but it's easy to create a free account and try to see if that would a good fit.

For all of you wondering, according to the video, Waldo helps you avoid using something called Charles. So maybe if you don't really like Charles and wish for a different friend, Waldo is here for you.

I have a friend named Waldo who makes coffee, so I'm not in the market. But the strange thing? Waldo is only his nickname. His real name is Charles.

Hope the video wasn't too expensive.
