Ratings and reviews

This app is pretty great, it has easy to understand lessons, they're never that long so you can always make time to practice and it's free of course. I've learned a good bit using this and would definitely recommend it to anyone even slightly interested. I first found in when deciding if I wanted to do a coding bootcamp, I feel like it helped make that decision and I've gone back and referenced it a few times.

I haven't used this app for long, but so far it's great! I've been trying to learn how to code for years, but it's been a struggle with ADHD... 😅 But this app solved all my problems! All the other apps and websites and resources I've tried to learn coding on taught me far too slowly, so I struggled to keep paying attention, but this one teaches at the perfect pace for me. I don't know about you all but this was the perfect app for me! Would recommend to anyone who has the same struggles as me.

Borderline unusable because it doesn't allow the user to just type in the code themselves. You have to select from a list of options which sometimes won't allow you to fill it out as you wish (like in the Word Checker section). It also teaches you how to write if statements more efficiently yet never actually allows you to use that in practice.
