### 4/5 — Question

*2026-08-19, version 2.0.5*

My tutor said this app helps with Math and Science but I don’t see math but really good app though

### 4/5 — Good app

*2026-07-28, version 2.0.5*

Good app. I am learning programming for free and the lessons are very step by step. One thing is I would rate this 5 stars if they made more ability for lessons on the app.

### 4/5 — Codecademy Go

*2026-07-16, version 2.0.5*

Codecademy Go is a good site for practicing coding facts and the website is very good and interesting for learning new coding languages and computer science related skills. Could have more in depth quizzes. Recommend.

### 2/5 — Pas de traduction en Français

*2026-05-17*

Dommage que sur l’application il n’ y ait pas la langue Française, il faudrait penser à l’inclure! Tout le monde ne parle pas anglais à la perfection et surtout pour un apprentissage!

### 3/5 — Good study help!

*2026-05-06, version 2.0.5*

I’ve been using this app for about a month now and I like it, but some tools are a bit janky. The “flash cards” are actually one flash card that keeps refreshing. Buggy but it could just be me. My mistake for learning Java 😂

### 4/5 — Really good!

*2026-04-14, version 2.0.5*

It’s amazing especially as a kid trying to learn for my future projects and things. There’s just one issue it seems to glitch when displaying the streak when you try to earn another day of practice it shows it for a second the goes back to the day before. And it would be nice if you added a widget which shows your streak. But either way really good and well designed.

### 3/5 — The wrong answer is the right answer

*2026-03-13, version 2.0.5*

I’m not a fan of teaching methods like give the wrong answer to make an error.  This reinforces mistakes, it’s better to request the right answer, then ask the user to make the mistake if you want to teach what to look for.

### 2/5 — Buggy

*2026-02-08, version 2.0.5*

I like the UX and UI, it’s great, but I’m trying to get through some hacking and security courses and it’s super buggy. It won’t let me get progress. Might have to look elsewhere.

### 5/5 — So fun

*2026-01-28, version 2.0.4*

This app and the website make learning code fun and easy

### 3/5 — Great but mobile app not as useful

*2026-01-24, version 2.0.3*

I'd still like to get through the course on mobile

### 5/5 — Review time is great

*2026-01-20, version 2.0.3*

It does a good job at reinforcing the knowledge I’ve learned.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — multiple pay options

*2026-06-25, version 2.0.5*

I tried to learn coding on Lua since I don’t know how to code I went on the app and I choose my preferences and I’m a beginner cause. I don’t know how to code for some reason they are going to hit me with multiple pay options and there were zero subjects on there the only subject I was able to use was the unlock pro option and I and that means the app is unusable one star.

### 1/5 — Frustrating

*2026-06-11, version 2.0.5*

Started the free trial. Trying to navigate this app, all I want to do is learn SQL. It’s a confusing maze that puts everything except SQL in front of me. Managed to sign up for 2 courses? Or are they skill paths? What’s the difference? Now they’re somehow marked as compete, instantly, and I can only go in to review them and look at a cheat sheet. Sorry guys, as a new user this is absolutely frustrating and I wont be purchasing. Unfortunate because money is no object here, I just know what I want and this buggy song and dance is shameful. iOS user. Shouldn’t I be able to find SQL courses easily and actually start them? Also why does half of the process jump into my browser instead of the app?

### 1/5 — Boring

*2026-05-07, version 2.0.5*

All I get are flash cards? Wow

### 1/5 — Won’t stop messages

*2026-04-24, version 2.0.5*

Will keep emailing you via Apple even after deleting app.

### 1/5 — Terrible UI

*2026-02-20, version 2.0.5*

Where's the course content?   It sent me to a browser to explore courses.  Then, when I selected one, a pop-up message tried to send me back to the app, but the course was not there.  It had random courses.  I selected one, but it was just the outline.  I regret buying this subscription!

### 1/5 — Bad

*2026-02-11, version 2.0.5*

Enrolled on a course, for half way through, left it till next day to finish and I can’t even get onto the course again? Enrolled for three more and it says “nothing here to practise yet, nor does it let me see more than a few courses at a time unless I keep taking some silly recommendation quiz. Just show me all the courses! Awful app. Expect people to pay £190 a year for that?

### 1/5 — THIS IS A SCAM

*2025-12-19, version 2.0.3*

They don’t tell you app is PRICED $18 and also didn’t let me get the benefits of my paid subscription for Codecademy. Also dumb app and didn’t have any practice material for the career path I am enrolled and participating in.

### 1/5 — Trash app annoying AI

*2025-12-12, version 2.0.3*

Forces an AI assistant that is slow and bad at it’s purpose.  I don’t want to argue with a stupid clanker. Just shut up.

### 1/5 — Impossible to delete account

*2025-12-03, version 2.0.3*

Classic case of over promise under deliver. But what pisses me off is that it’s impossible to delete you account once you make it. It puts you on an infinite loop if try to delete your account.

### 1/5 — Not a single free course

*2025-11-08, version 2.0.3*

:(

### 5/5 — Very good app

*2026-07-31, version 2.0.5*

Codeacademy is very beginner friendly and mostly free! Overall I haven't had any complaints about the app, and I also use the desktop version all the time! Highly recommended.

### 5/5 — Better than expected

*2026-06-26, version 2.0.5*

Pleasantly surprised with this application. Very user friendly and easy to navigate. The training is very effective. I dont have much spare time but i set the reminder and honestly 20 min a day is even making a difference. I would love to work my way up to an hour a day.

### 5/5 — Great

*2026-06-17, version 2.0.5*

I’m in grade nine and this is nine the best thing I’ve used this far, I highly recommend this and a coding course. 👍😊

### 5/5 — Great Quick Practice

*2026-05-23, version 2.0.5*

Love that I can just do a quick practice between my everyday tasks.

### 5/5 — I love this app!!

*2026-05-09, version 2.0.5*

I love this app with or without internet it works!!!                     It is so fun to play!😁

### 5/5 — Am I going

*2026-04-11, version 2.0.5*

Am I going to make it through school and get my certification? With this app I may just make it . I can’t do it without the help of the app thank you so much for helping me realize that I may not be cut out for coding I wish I’d had tried it out before I went ten thousand dollars in debt paying for a school that I will most likely fail.  I just hope that I can learn enough to make it to some job of some decent pay grade . Thanks to this app I know I need lots more help than I can get. I’d advise you to try it first before spending your savings on school because it’s way harder then I could ever imagined

### 5/5 — Great

*2026-04-03, version 2.0.5*

Good learning

### 5/5 — Cantflyyet

*2026-03-09, version 2.0.5*

Learning how to code made simple I’m currently practicing in cyber security, code adept makes things simple download you won’t regret it

### 5/5 — Great easy on the go practice

*2026-02-11, version 2.0.5*

Accessible learning wherever I go when I don’t have my laptop

### 5/5 — Code on the go!

*2026-02-05, version 2.0.4*

I enjoy being able to code right before I go to school.
