Good app, no longer supported though

Great learning tool, as of about 2020/2021ish. Any major changes to swift after that won’t be reflected here.

Aside from that it does a great job of breaking everything down; I personally like the order and method in which it’s taught.

Amateur Coder

When it comes to coding it can be hard to find any appropriate resources to use on a phone. I’ve done SOME coding in C# via Unity and had fun with that. But because of that I was nervous to move to another language.

TapCoding has been a breath of fresh air. It’s intuitive, easy to understand, and a fantastic little tool for when you’re on the run or in bed and can’t be bothered going to the computer.

As an introduction to Swift, I highly recommend this. I’m about 1/4 through the content and my confidence in learning Swift has gone through the roof. I now understand a good amount of the basics and see the differences between C# and Swift.

If you’re looking to dig into Swift, grab this app. There are free lessons to get you started, and if you want to go further there is a VERY affordable price to unlock the more advanced content.

Still not sure either way

After completing the free lessons so easily I was compelled to purchase the rest of the app. It is a bit steep but the learning concept seemed to work with the free lessons. I am on the third ll fourth pay lesson now and am a bit confused. I don’t understand what all these things are for. If you already state x = 8 then why would you need to have all these true ll false constants about x? I guess I would like to know how all of these booleans and stuff are going to be needed in coding. A few examples of why we would need these strings would be helpful. I will update my review when I am done with all the lessons. Hopefully it will all make sense then.

Swift version so outdated is not funny

Outdated

Totally Satisfied

It explains the concepts well, using simple language and examples. It’s interactive and bite-sized. Job well done.

please add dark mode!

great app but please add dark mode and keep updating

Great App Needs a Couple Tweaks

I have started and stopped with learning Swift several times. This app has finally got me all in on learning. The app is great I just don’t think the typing portion is that great or just needs to be a larger font. Also, dark mode or themes would be great cause the constant white background is straining.

Free and helpful

First of all, it’s free. You can buy early access to lessons or you can go at the recommended pace and the lessons will unlock as you go.

Second, coding is very sensitive to typos. Most of the concepts are clearly written but I’ve found a few typos. There’s a mechanism to report them.

Third, it utilizes a creative way of using the iOS GUI to learn the basics of Swift. Very cool.

Having fun with this app

I’ve only just begun working with this app but so far I am loving it. It is clear, concise and easily understood, even for someone who has never coded before and wants to learn something new or just wants to understand “how it works”. Highly recommend.....

Great to use

This application helped me so much. Before, I was struggling to get into coding but when I started using this application, I learned so much and now I love coding!
