Help plz ### 2/5 — Please update app *2023-12-27* Please recompile the app and fix the bug as only black screen when app launched. ### 3/5 — Doesn’t work with iPhone 13 mini *2023-07-17* Looks interesting but unfortunately many apps don’t support the smaller screen size. :( ### 1/5 — Waste of money *2023-02-01, version 1.3* I purchased the app and the screen is black . ### 1/5 — Black screen *2023-01-11, version 1.3* Black screen - no app loading ### 1/5 — Blank black screen on launch, abandoned app *2022-12-24* App is abandoned, last update was 3 years ago. As a result, it just doesn't work on modern devices. IPhone 13 Pro Max, IOS 16.2, blank black screen on launch ### 1/5 — Black screen *2022-11-14, version 1.3* Black screen. Nothing else ### 1/5 — App broken *2022-11-08, version 1.3* Just a black screen forever when launching. Please fix your app ### 1/5 — Paywall warning *2022-07-04* Only a few lessons are available for free. They are not great lessons anyway - lots of dry text to read. If you're trying to learn swift pass on this app and find a better tutorial on the web ### 1/5 — Buggy and annoying *2022-06-20, version 1.3* This app crashes non stop. It also asks bothers to review the app pretty much once a minute - so here you go! Very basic app, unclear what in app purchases would unlock. Avoid. ### 3/5 — Bug crash *2022-06-16, version 1.3* After I paid for it it starts crashing every 30 seconds. I deleted most of my stuff on my phone. ### 3/5 — Why three stars? *2022-06-13* I was asked for feed back in approximately 5?minutes. I've never coded, don't know if I ever will. Finding a beginning has been unsuccessful and I don't know if this app is going to be just another lead to a dead end. I hope it's not. So three stars for hope. It could be false hope. I don't anticipate much from an app that asks for a review in like five minutes. I'd say try it. No harm can from trying. What expectations do I have? I'd expect to learn a structure that is applicable whether easy or difficult. Applicable structure that I can build on. A clear precise path is a must in an obscure realm of vast knowledge. I definitely will re-review and upgrade the stars if there is clarity and structure, that is applicable for myself and others and also downgrade if this there is not! Good luck to those who can relate! ### 2/5 — not accurate instructions *2021-12-18* So far, I have run into several wrong instructions at least in the example that it gives. There is misspelled words and I get an error whenever I use they are misspelled words and sometimes when I see the answer and I put it in exactly the way it says it's still I had to redo that same answer about 10 times before it decided to finally allow me to MoveOn. ### 1/5 — Learning, kind of *2021-12-17* It would be better if the app showed how to do things first because it just assumes everyone knows things and expects them to just put it in. Then you have to push the stuck button to get the answer if you don’t know it. I do not believe this is a constructive way of learning especially for people who don’t already know how to use swift or SwiftUI. ### 4/5 — Good app *2021-10-11* Good app, but I have a bugs with displaying content. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2026-03-14, version 1.3* App just shows a black screen ### 1/5 — 0 STAR *2025-11-29, version 1.3* I downloaded but i can not open so i DELETED because it is NOT WORKING why i should waist my precious time ### 1/5 — No longer works in iOS 18 *2024-10-12* I really loved this app and downloaded it a while ago to learn SwiftUI but never finished. Upon trying to restart the program I discovered the app no longer works I just get a blank black screen. I will definitely change my review if the developer updates this app to work again. Hoping to get their attention in doing this. ### 1/5 — Black Screen *2024-06-21, version 1.3* I open the app and it’s just a blank black screen. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2024-06-11, version 1.3* It’s a black screen when you open it. ### 1/5 — Blank screen *2024-02-17, version 1.3* Why is the screen black? ### 1/5 — Idk what happened *2023-10-15* I had this app before but deleted it to learn some of the basics of programming better, I remember it being a good app. Now I’m ready to learn swift so I downloaded it but it won’t open now. ### 1/5 — Blank screen of death *2023-07-09, version 1.3* Man this thing hasn’t opened in a few weeks smh ### 1/5 — Bug crash *2023-04-15* After I paid for it it starts crashing every 30 seconds. I deleted most of my stuff on my phone. Also it won’t give me access to what I bought now. ### 1/5 — Black screen *2023-03-24, version 1.3* Doesn’t work just a black screen ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — It’s pulled my attention *2022-06-27* I’m a beginner in coding w/ advanced IT skills. The most challenging aspect of learning is finding productive and time efficient tactics and methods to commence a streamlined learning environment. Even more challenging, is maintaining, improving and updating those tactics and methods, while continuing personal daily functions. SwiftUI is very satisfactory. I have implemented this app as a tool to establish a starting point to in my learning environment. So far, it’s pulled my attention. Thank you, Devs, for your efforts. ### 5/5 — Easy to grasp *2022-02-22, version 1.3* Free and no ads! Perfect for developing coding skills. ### 5/5 — Learn SwiftUI *2021-12-28, version 1.3* It’s a really decent app if u want to learn how to code its super easy step by step by far the best one for iOS ### 5/5 — Very Helpful *2021-09-09, version 1.3* In general, these are excellent for both learning and review. Occasionally, even rarely there is a typo in the explanations, but this is an extremely minor complaint. It would be really cool if each finished chapter would then export to a Swift playground or even a word doc. Much of this is useful code snippets that can easily be reworked into larger apps. Not having to retype them all would be a useful value add. The authors should continue to produce more of this content. ### 5/5 — Woohoo! 😁 *2021-09-02, version 1.3* Cool! It learns! ### 5/5 — Все работает четко) *2021-07-15* Сделайте больше уроков плиз ### 5/5 — 👍 *2021-05-31, version 1.3* 🆓🚻🔛🔝🔜🔚🆙🆗 ### 5/5 — Five Stars!!! *2020-12-07* Easy, simple , smooth... Who said learning isn’t fun ? ### 5/5 — Nice Simplicity App *2020-11-12, version 1.3* As a first time learner for SwiftUI coming from UIKit, this is a nice simple app to help get the basics down. Even though my learning of SwiftUI is coming from another source with a more in-depth look, I found this app a nice quick refresher on the simple use of the code and its dot syntax. Although I would like to see more for this app. The developer talks about @State and it would be nice to go more into this with @Binding, @Enviroment and @ObserveableObject. Otherwise, its a nice simple app for beginners like myself. ### 5/5 — Solidify the Essentials *2020-10-24* It’s a great app that focuses on the essential SwiftUI knowledge. A great place to start. I’ve love using it to grow my confidence with SwiftUI. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
