Reviews for Mimo: Learn Coding/Programming

The apps fine. I'll give it this, the lessons are great and its rather fun to learn everything. But from what I've seen you cant go back to any previous lessons to practice. So if you forget what something like means then you're out of luck. Normally you could go to the glossary to look up what it means, but thats stuck behind a paywall. Speaking of which, $50 a year to unlock everything? Why not just do $50 as a one and done purchase? Nobody's gonna continue the subscription after a year.

Really good. Very easy to learn. I just spent 20 minutes trying to learn HTML the form of code used to make websites and I feel like I have a fairly decent and basic understanding of it's function, although it does have a heart system meaning that if you get a question wrong you lose a heart and if you want an infinite amount of them you have to pay a subscription but it's only 79$ a year which is fairly reasonable but I will definitely not be paying it.

This app is great! Too good to be true, honestly. I tried grasshopper, and many many many of the other coding apps, but they pale in comparison. I am currently learning python and this one actually allows you to learn the language fully without spending even a cent. There are incredibly non-intrusive ads that rarely pop up, and aren't videos you are forced to watch. You can learn many different coding languages, and I haven't checked those out yet. It is a bit slow-paced but that's not so bad.

Intro lessons are great if you get them done within the free trial period, but anything past that is locked behind the "max" subscription. The regular $60 subscription doesn't even get you to "if" statements on python, and they don't let you know until you've completed the intro. You also can't skip rudimentary lessons, which is draining.

It's a great app to start learning a little bit of code. The problem I have is certain problems arrive when answering coding questions and using their playgrounds feature. You can be typing on one line and it will shoot you down to the bottom. Essentially you can't write code in their app, it's to buggy. Also they trick you. "Buy our pro version to continue" than it's "hop onto a computer to continue" once your on the computer it's "buy max to continue" which is far more expensive than the pro.

A quick tutorial to get you started. Then it hits you with a subscription needed to actually take any lessons. You don't get a feel for the program before they want to charge you. Don't waste your time. EDIT: Installed again. Made it to the first "code challenge", won't let me do anything. Just says tap the code to start, unable to get it to do anything other than try to continue without a solution. You lose a heart (you get x amount unless you pay for the subscription), and fail the challenge.

Nice format. The app is missing the ability to test out of units that the learner already has a good grasp of. It could be my phone settings, but it seems like the editor aggressively selects text when I try to place the text cursor, specifically if nothing in the text editor window had already been selected. It takes 3-4 taps to get the cursor where I want it to go. Heaven help you if you are trying to add a line below the top line. Gets frustrating after a while.

Mimo is really cool. I never thought about HTML before, but since the website I post my fanfiction on uses HTML, I thought it'd be cool to learn. I do wish there were more practice levels in-between the regular levels, so it'd help you memorize and put into action what you learn better. The only issue I've had so far, is that when my internet cut out, it didn't tell me. And when I finished the level, it said I only got one answer correct, when it was supposed to be perfect. But that's about it.

I'm starting Python with zero exp. The course starts at a very basic level and gradually adds more as you go without you feeling overloaded with information. The explanations of how things work and why they are used is helpful. As a neuro-divergent person the short lessons work well too. The only 'negative' is that you have to upgrade to do the projects. Not a big issue because you can still learn a lot for free but still a bummer. Upgrade is affordable though.

So let me start by saying that out of all the coding tutorial apps I've tried this is the best one. That being said, there are a few glitches that I'd very much like to be sorted out. For one, when in lessons the cursor likes to randomly jump to the beginning of the first line, which is REALLY annoying. Secondly, the app seems to struggle to sync with the desktop version which sucks cause I paid for that. Lastly, you can only check coins and leaderboard on the mobile app =[ still, great app
