### 3/5 — Out of sync

*2025-03-25, version 2.0.2*

You need to go to their website to watch the latest content

### 5/5 — Excellent course giving designers and developers a complete tool set!

*2024-12-12, version 2.0.2*

I had been looking for a course covering these topics for several months then I discovered this one day and I was given all the tools to become a developer and likewise the developer on my team has all the tools he needs to design UIs. Thanks to the DesignCode team for this excellent suite.

### 5/5 — User experience is amazing 😃

*2024-04-23, version 2.0.2*

Great UI beautiful app

### 3/5 — Best prototyping but bugs

*2024-01-15, version 2.0.2*

Portrait mode doesn't work for videos

### 4/5 — Content on Web is great, some issues with app

*2023-12-07, version 2.0.2*

This is a great quality content, I am very happy with the courses, everything is working great on the website, but on iOS and iPadOS app there are some bugs:

1- Search Control doesn’t work. It’s take you out to profile screen.
2- Favorite saved from web are not showing on App.
3- Updated courses on Website doesn’t appear on App.
4- When you are watching videos on landscape and you change to portrait, the video close itself and take you to profile screen.
5- App need to be updated.

That’s some issues I found at this moment.

I hope the developer can update the app and fix it!

### 1/5 — Bug & Not Updated

*2023-09-24, version 2.0.2*

Full of bugs and doesn’t match with website content

### 1/5 — can’t Even do any thing

*2023-07-27, version 2.0.2*

I hate this so much so I look in the App Store for a code and program app and I was looking and I founnd this one so I open it and I thought it was going to be fun and teach me stuff so I sent the request to my daddy and he said that i would need to pay when I opened it there was no paying so I was super happy then I watched the first video and I tried to do it then when I was tapping things nothing happened now here I am I hate this app so much don’t download this app warning from Mila

### 3/5 — Good app, but a little buggy

*2023-07-07, version 2.0.2*

Overall I like the app, but there are a lot of little bugs as you’re navigating through courses. I actually prefer just visiting the website.

### 2/5 — Bad app

*2023-06-14, version 2.0.2*

I don’t think this is a good app.
You cannot learn anything past the first chapter, which doesn’t teach you any coding, without a membership. Courses are hard to find and there are no filters to find the one you want. 
I would give this app a one star, if not for how visually appealing this app is.
More to the bad, this app doesn’t have a good way to see what chapter you are working on or how much progress you have made.
There is also a bug, where when I favorite the courses, it doesn’t show up as a favorite in settings.

### 4/5 — Not all content is shown in this app

*2023-06-09, version 2.0.2*

I love the application but there are courses that only appeared on the web site
