Thus far, it’s one of the best ways I’ve come across to learn code. The Coding Playground it includes helps a lot in fostering understanding… For the most part. Sometimes, when they get to the later modules, it feels like they’re going kinda fast, and the Playground stops being helpful when you can’t make heads […]

Sololearn has helped me so much in my career. Its bite sized content sections, real life coding practice, and the AI features have helped me excel. I love the “code battles,” too. I’ve been a Max/Pro member for years! If you’re dipping your toes into coding, it’s great. If you’re brushing up on less frequently […]

pretty simple and easy to understand, great for beginners wanting to know the basics of any given code Edit: I think the only thing that would be better to get a 5 star would be to just add a couple more simple exercises. It’s really good as is but I sometimes want something that will […]

App used to be good but completely destroyed itself with greed and bad programming. Last time I used it, you basically run out of hearts and can’t continue unless you pay a $50 subscription. Seriously? Nobody is going to pay this insane when there are FREE courses on YouTube. Nowadays, the app breaks when you […]

EDIT: it IS free, my apologies. Later modules have a lock icon and can’t be clicked, which makes it look like you need to have a membership in order to access them. You just need to complete the prior module. Lots of apps use a lock icon to indicate premium content that isn’t free. My […]

This has got to be the most well organized app for learning code on the market, period. You’re not allowed to randomly jump from section to section, while, at the same time, missing a lot of information on the way. Instead, it gives you the material in-depth and in methodical way so there aren’t any […]

The addition of hearts has ruined this for me. A big part of programming is learning from your mistakes. Sololearn has turned this into a punishment. I kept trying to come back to this, but nah. Edit: “Pay us $13/month to learn something that is otherwise freely available online to improve your experience of our […]

I personally went out of my way to write my first review of any form of entertainment for this app specifically. Reasons are because, for one; this is extremely intuitive for a beginner like me. From solid explanations to having a one question review on what you had just been taught makes everything that much […]

Nearly completed the first round of lessons for Python. The combo of lessons, quizzes and user comments is highly effective and easy to absorb. This is very much like the online classes I took in college, with the bonus of a comment section. Note that it does try to sell you on the paid version […]

I’ve used a decent variety of different programming education apps as a means of keeping my skills sharp between periods of disuse, and this is one of the better ones. They’re frequently adding new material, as well, like the recently-added (well, not so recent now) Kotlin lesson. It’s also been very good for learning new […]

Love the simple block learning style breakdown. So far I am completely comfortable with what I’ve learned, and have not felt overwhelmed with the lessons. I feel personally that I could learn in slightly bigger chunks at a time, but as a zero knowledge beginner I chose no knowledge to be safe. it was still […]

I used to like this app.. But its no longer great. everything was said by the user SADIQ TIJANI. the old courses with the old division of topics and some of the old advanced topics discussed are waay better than this beginniner/intermediate system. and let’s not talk about the premium prices getting higher while before […]

TLDR; Amazing FREE app for learning to code! Unlike other coding apps that will let you do a few lessons and force their pro plan, this app is completely free (with ads). There’s an optional subscription, but it’s for practice lessons and extra lives if you run out. You’re never stopped by a paywall at […]

Good info in the courses, good setup. However, 2 stars because I chose “intro to Python” and the third section quizzed knowledge that wasn’t in the lessons. The comments say there was a course that went over those operations, but I don’t have that course available, so I couldn’t go any farther because I couldn’t […]

Awesome app, would highly recommend for beginners. I have one complaint, I earned a bunch of bits and tried to use them to get more hearts ❤️. It took all my bits and didn’t refill my hearts. Very disappointed 😔. Ok, it finally refilled them but now I have to start that lesson all over […]

I was cheated and swindled out of my money. I had the subscription canceled while the charge was still pending and a whole year of whatever it is they offer was taken out of my account still. they just back dated the payment to when one of their payments was declined. Google can’t get it […]

It’s a much more polished Duolingo-like experience than the other coding apps I’ve found, but it still has a LOT of grammatical, syntaxical, and logical errors. I also hate that finishing both Python introduction and intermediate doesn’t count as completing Python Developer and that there is no Developer course for the other languages (only intro […]

The intro to python course was pretty good, but the intermediate python and a few others were hard to follow. Some of the topics appeared in questions before they were taught, and several were poorly explained. The comments were more useful than the lessons. It would be much more helpful if you could follow the […]

I used Samsung A53, and some parts of the fill in the blanks questionnaire are being cut off from my screen, and there’s no way to at least shrink/zoom out from the screen and there’s no landscape mode either. So, I just lost all my free HP bcz of it while doing intro to Java […]

not a positive experience. half of it is redundant i.e. Python beginner, python intermediate, Python developer. had I know I would’ve never wasted my time with beginner and intermediate. I started coding for data and only 2 of 10 of the modules are different. the only way around it is to take the end of […]
