Ratings and reviews

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.

Completely free, no ads. However the way you add code is so clunky and difficult to deal with. You don't just type parentheses, for example, you have to select the word you want to put parentheses around and then hope it puts them around the word but it won't, it will inevitably put them at the end of the word then you have to select them again and hope a back space will remove only the parentheses but no, it erases all the code you've written so far. Frustrating

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.
