👍 Nice work so far on the group project. Your team has made great progress in the last week. Hope you are proud of what you have achieved in ~6 weeks.

• Great to see that you took actions from the review comments from Sprint 1 and created milestones/issues for sprint 2.
• 👍 Good work implementing the core flows. You guys have made great progress in sprint 2 and it seems like most of your application logic is in place.
• Try to match your app with the mockups/wireframes as best as you can. Perhaps you might want to spend more time finishing up the remaining features and then add UI polish to the app.
• Good to see you have tasks/issues being worked on actively. Please consider regularly updating your readme file so you have a better idea of what's left to do.
• Try to challenge yourself on the UI/visual side of things in the coming days. Not necessarily flashy things, but it's the small details that take a lot of work.
• Report the individual so he/she can receive proper guidance and doesn't miss out the opportunity to learn and contribute.
• Good to see that your team created regular check-ins to sync up your code to avoid having multiple errors at the end.
• Consider improving your test coverage by incorporating positive as well as negative testing to determine if your app handles improper user behavior correctly.

Extras:

• Keep working on integrating the core flows and make sure all pieces fit together perfectly.
• Consult with your mentors to get their feedback as often as you can. Remember they are here to help!
• While working on polishing your app for next sprint, remember that your app follows the Apple iOS Design Guidelines.

Take time this week to clean up and polish your app. Generally, most of these tasks are small and easy, but go a long way in making an impact on how your app will get perceived. I would also encourage you to start thinking about coming up with a user story for the demo day. It is the apps with the most appealing story that gains the most attention on the demo day. Excited to see your progress next week! 🎉
