False advertising. There are many free tools that work exactly the same way, and don't have the ridiculous ads every time you attempt a lesson.
Bait and Switch app. This app repeatedly has you relearning the [ print('Hello World') ] while claiming you have access to a Free 3-Day Challenge. but the first 10 lessons are all useless information about how to make the computer print simple words. Save yourself some time and go follow a REAL C#/C++ Program like Learn Unity Program for C#. This is a waste of time and money. Code Monkey for little kids is better then this!!!
Total b*******. you can't leave the game whenever you're finished. there's no back button and it disables the native three buttons on the bottom. I was going to set it up, but when I discovered you can't close the app at all, I restarted my phone and uninstalled it.
way too many ads to upgrade to pro and to rate them, so here's my rating first impression was okay. the menu looked very boring and rushed. could be improved. the lessons are just click here, click here, feel good about yourself, but I didn't get the feeling I'm explained things very well. half of it was just copied images which weren't easy to read. after every lesson you are shown and unskippable ad to upgrade to premium
in unit 5 and an earlier unit the drag and drop and practices aren't aligned to the lessons taught. I'm asked questions on topics never covered yet. as a subscribing customer, this is terribly disappointing
they steal money.
Do not use this app unless you want duo lingo type training, it's definitely not what was advertised. There is no game based learning. Also when signing up i was duped into spending £50, initially it said there was a 3 day trial but i was automatically charged... 😡😡😡
It breached the trial terms. while I cancelled the subscription before the trial ends, it was already charged my wallet. This is not I expected to happen.
This is the biggest scam running, Dont download or Pay any money
give me my money, it's not been 3 days already, i won't use this app, You guys still charged me before the trail is completes, GIVE ME MY MONEY
I downloaded this and tried it a couple of times. Didn't seem worth the money, so I cancelled it. Somehow I still got charged. How do I get a refund?
hahahahaha. another fake ad. this is getting ridiculous.
Why you immediately charged 1 year when you offered 3 days trial?!! It's a scam. Don't shy away. I wrote to support email too. I work with python since 20 years, I don't buy such thing. I am entitled for refund. If I cannot reach to agreement, I will warn users to avoid such traps. How come that offer 3 day trial, I want to show to somebody, who want to learn, and you charged me in the same moment for one year. That's why is a scam.
not only do you not get 3 free days of python learning you are immediately charged. the app starts you at the top every launch so once you get past lesson 7 you are scrolling for a minute to get to where you can actually start learning something new. the questions are simple and very directed and if you get one wrong you don't get an educated reason as to why you get an ai so that's what you pay for. free ai can do the same thing if you ask the right questions. there's better free resources.
Scam warning! Promised 3-day free trial but charged RM254.99 immediately. Developer ignores emails for 6 days. Google support is not helping. Stay away!
AI slop, and I couldn't even get nine lessons in before it forced me to pay for a subscription. You LITERALLY CANNOT PROGRESS IN LESSONS IF YOU DON'T PAY A SUBSCRIPTION! Drop the slop, use something like W3School instead.
really poor, ironic for an app for teaching others coding, with a very buggy app.
This is so bad
Bait... Before I could even start, it was already charging me money. For someone who already knows Python, I couldn't even check if there was something new to learn or was just basic newbie stuff.
This app is NOT what they advertise!!! Just like someone else reviewed -- this app was promoted as a game to learn code... FALSE! It's just little "duolingo" styled cards for you to get the idea. After you get to the 2nd section (about 10 cards in), you can't practice anymore because you have to PAY to see if your getting it correct or not. So you're obligated to pay either way. . . AND SO MANY ADDS. KEEPS ASKING TO PAY TO USE IT - NOT FREE. NOT WORTH IT! Use freeCodeCamp it's TRULY free!!!!!
misleading ad, not a game
Installed for less than a 1 minutes. If taken more time I would have put a single star
I was enjoying it at first. I got through the first 2 sections under the learn category, got to lesson 3 under the 3rd section and I couldn't proceed because it kept trying to make me pay for it. I'd hit "Run code" and it pops up to pay for it. Close, run code, same thing. Then it had a notification at the top of my phone I couldn't get rid of so I uninstalled it.
Barely works unless U get premium which is heavily pushed on you
very limited and repetitive. Only teaches the very basics. Not worth the money.
When I tried to cancel my trial I was still charged the full price and was offered a lower yearly rate which I was glad to accept but now both charges are showing and there is no support option in the app and I sent an email on their web page but there has been no response. The app itself seems to be good so far but support so far has been very unsatisfactory.
the app is good at teaching u c what code is used for but then it comes to actually learning to write code for something it dose not let u do there is no feature that let's u write code for a algorithm it just basically just only tells u what everyday code is used for in codeing and hoe code is written
I initially downloaded this for the game feature as promoted, but it's more like a Mimo copy. There's mistakes in the UI, and several of the lessons and prompts are poorly worded. If there was a feedback feature as you go, you can help the developers improve, but I think it's just AI built. Furthermore, I started a subscription for what I thought was the full product at a reasonable price, and then found that I still have limited access and will have to pay even more per feature as I progress.
