Bugged

Not sure if just me, but having problems advancing the lessons/courses. Error: You appear to be using a browser extension that is modifying the page. Be sure to turn off all browser extensions. Using IPad Pro 5th Gen.

Good app

Some tasks are hard to understand but makes me kinda think about it more and helps with learning.

Thanks for the 5 star review

Why is the app like this ?

Through all the videos you guys upload, you clearly have the skill to make a great looking application this looks like someone just threw it to the wall hoping it would stick.. there’s a ton of information between courses and it’s just one big waterfall of information! If it’s not already make it open source so people can help

Almost 100% Perfect

This app has been a constant companion of mine for the past few weeks. After a small learning curve (learning which buttons show/hide which sections), the app become very intuitive & I am able to progress my learning with ease.

My only gripe is that the “(i)” Instructions & Task Information panel DOES NOT stay visible when I pull up my iOS keyboard to type. I expect the (i) panel to stay visible and readable when the (i) panel’s button is active & in use.

I am only in the CSS/Web Dev sections. I gave the Databases/SQL sections a chance & I was a little disappointedj to see only video-based content. I cannot learn through videos at different points in my day, the way I can with text-only learning.

I LOVE freecodecamp

freecodecamp has helped me with my passion to code and would love for it to continue my only slight dislike is that there should be another section for videos

Response from developer

Thanks for the 5 star review. Which videos are you talking about? The YouTube videos or the videos in the courses?

Great app to learn

I have no background in IT/programming… I was learning using Mimo app. Here’s my comparison.

Pros: Mimo doesn’t provide background information, this app does. Using this app, feels like I’m actually writing/learning coding whereas, Mimo feels like a game. This app doesn’t have heart games so, you can learn without hiccups/losing time. In Mimo, after you make 5 mistakes, you have to wait 3 hours before you can learn again unless you buy subscription.

Cons: After two mistakes, Mimo shows you the correct code, this app doesn’t. For a newbie like me, it’s really difficult to find what I did wrong and stops me from moving ahead. There should be a button that shows correct code if not right away at least after 2-3 attempts.
