The application seems pretty intuitive, but once I watched a few YouTube videos it was much easier to understand what to do.
Their software is super buggy and support is really bad. Takes several days to respond and it's all canned responses.
I'd save the money and look at something else. The explore Air 2 has problems with initial setup that they can't seem to fix.

Bought a Cricut Explore 3 during BF before I researched into it, big mistake. I just ordered a Silhouette Cameo for the full price and will be returning the Cricut trash. I almost wanted to run it over with my car after trying to get it to connect. On any of the 5 Windows machines I have, bluetooth would connect for 2 seconds and then drop. On the macbook air, it drops after 10 seconds of connection. Googled it up and found that "Works best when you don't have a list of paired bluetooth device in the history". I'm not going to unpair my mouse and headset just so I can connect to this Cricut. Okay, let's try the USB cable. Every step in the procedure "We recommend you use the bluetooth for this system." And it will default to the bluetooth option. I flipping would if bluetooth works. How about you just default it to USB and let me do my thing? And when I choose USB, it does the spinning thing as if it's "connecting." It's a hard USB connection, what "connection" needs to be made other than checking the device is available by the OS? It also takes 8-9 unplug replugs to finally get it to work. And when I did get it to work calibration just got stuck. Printed the calibration sheet, loaded it into the printer, and then nothing. The start button was supposed to light up but it doesn't, wizard page just won't proceed. When I try to connect with my Fire Max 11, it will refuse to connect like 2-5 times before it will finally pair, for no reason at all.
When it sort of works, it sort of works. But I'm terrified that one day it will just stop working because they feel I should spend more money to buy a new one. Having to be online to use a piece of printer-like hardware is absolutely ridiculous. When you look at people posting on reddit asking about problems with their cricut, the most common answer is "if you can return it, just return it and get a Silhouette Cameo". If you read reviews about comparison between Silhouette and Cricut, what you'll get is that Cricut software is more average user friendly and Silhouette's is more for advanced users. How can that be user-friendly if connections are flaky af?
I'm not going to give advice on which to buy, but I'm just posting my research findings after all the issues I've discovered, so my advice is maybe look those up before you decide to get one. Don't just read the Amazon reviews and the YouTube influencers praises like I stupidly did.
