So I'm testing a Fiend Warlock build (haven't done one yet) and every time I level up, it only shows the highest spell level. E.g. he's currently Level 7, but when I click on the spell tab it only shows the Cantrips and Level 4 Spell. Is this suppose to happen or did I screw up somewhere?
Stormknight is correct, that's how warlocks work. Pact magic is unlike any other type of spell casting. You don't get multiple spell lots as you level up; all of your spell slots are max level, and they reset on a short rest.

Any time an unfathomably powerful entity sweeps in and offers godlike rewards in return for just a few teensy favors, it’s a scam. Unless it’s me. I’d never lie to you, reader dearest.
Warlocks are also less spell-slot oriented in general; you'll want to rely on cantrips or attacks more than your average caster, and take a look at Eldritch Invocations to see what options you have for gaining some "cast at will" spells that don't use slots at all; for example, you can take Mask of Many Faces to gain unlimited uses of Disguise Self.

I remain a free user only until my groups are done migrating from DDB, and if necessary D&D, after which I'm done. There are better systems owned by better companies out there.

I tend to think of my warlock as an archer, with some magical options should the need arise.

That's how warlock spell slot work - it's worth reading the rules for them on the class page because they're quite different to other casters.

Batman (warlock) can only carry so many spells in his belt before he need to restock (short rest) but they are all at top quality lol.
I spell Goodly.
