Would użyłeś also work, and if not what does it describe/mean in this sentence, when it would have been used?
I wish that Polish aspects (perfective/imperfective) translated that easily into English tenses, but unfortunately it's not that easy.
Imperfective "używałeś" seems to translate to continuous "were you using", but with the many possible implications the English verbs have, "have you used" should also be considered a possible answer.
In theory perfective "użyłeś" should be "did you use" or "have you used" (it implies using it on some specific occasion), but, well, English isn't as easy.
