Ótimo app

Ótimo para apoio caso você esteja fazendo um curso maior. Exercícios rápidos que dá para fazer em qualquer lugar e ainda desafiam nossa lógica. Muito bom!

Sistema de chaves prejudica

O app é muito bom e excelente para aprender, com uma série de exercícios que massificam a linguagem. Entretanto, esse sistema de chaves prejudicou muito, pois só é possível fazer 2 lições por dia com o grátis. Poderia ter uma opção para conseguir chaves com anúncios, por exemplo.

Response from developer

Thank you for your feedback. We're happy to hear you're enjoying learning to code with Mimo and would like to continue without interruptions. We're always seeking new ways to make more free content available, and the keys feature is part of that effort. Bear with us!

Parecido

Esse aplicativo se parece MUITO com o Duolingo, oque sinceramente, achei bem legal

Pode melhorar

Existem alguns pontos que acredito que podem melhorar no aplicativo (que é excelente).

1 - Utilizar um teclado próprio que seja melhor para a navegação durante a codificação, com setas direcionais e teclado numérico no topo; e

2- Remover o recurso de deslizar para voltar ou avançar uma atividade, pois você acaba fazendo diversas vezes acidentalmente.

Por fim, acho que poderiam oferecer um plano mensal, que sairia mais em conta para pessoas com maiores restrições financeiras.

DISGUSTING SCAMMY APP

TLDR:: I used the free trial, got charged after the end date, and because the subscription was discounted, (I did not even choose it) I cannot be refunded by apple, attempted to contact them directly via website, 10+ days till I can even expect an answer from auto reply email.

UPDATE1: No money back, their helpline is worthless and apple does not help either this app and its money hungry developers can go to hell

UPDATE2: They lowered the fees to half of what it was yearly WITH 25% DISCOUNT after super-charging me. Speaks to the fact they KNEW they were Scamming people.

I was looking for an app like Duolingo to learn the C and C++ language, and Mimo popped up. Much like any other app, I started the free trial without thinking much of it, I explore a bit and upon finding there’s no C course, and I stopped using it and forgot about it about it. Then a couple days later I get charged an absurd amount, that I find to be the annual subscription for this app. I contest it on apple’s site twice, but both times I am denied, the reasoning being that despite my total lack of use, and having asked the refund literally the day after being charged, and NOT EVEN having chosen the subscription post-trial myself, the annual subscription was discounted and therefore I cannot receive a refund. This is an ill-intentioned practice at best. I have now requested a refund again through their official website, and I was told I will have to wait 10+ days before even hoping for a reply. Should this, hopefully, be a complete oversight or a mistake, I will be glad to update this review, but as of now, it just feels like a scam.

Платное приложение

Все понравилось, но есть ограничения в прохождении уровней. Я все понимаю, но это чересчур( Видимо, цель не помочь людям в обучении, а заработать с них деньги. Я не осуждаю, просто жаль, что так получилось. Я занимаюсь на stepik и leetcode, поэтому мне нет толку от ваших двух уровней в день(

Review for Mimo from a student

Mimo is a great app for learning coding! The lessons are fun, interactive, and easy to understand. It’s perfect for beginners and makes learning new skills enjoyable. I really like the simple design and hands-on practice. I wish more features were available for free, but overall, it’s a very useful app. Highly recommended! ❤️

What about sabbath?

I need a break on weekends. Can’t you do something like, a full weekday of revision qualifies you for a weekend pass to keep your streak.

This makes coding make sense

I’m a kid riding this review and coding is really really really really really really really really really confusing but this actually makes it more easier to learn than the stuff they try to teach you in computer class

Easy to start

Easy to understand but I have done a little beginner things before.
The free version could be better. It doesn’t let you do much for the day. Even if your not messing up it only lets you do so much a day.

Language learning for code

Uses the same learning theory used for learning languages. Slow steps. Repetitive, restated learning building on itself using what you learned before to conceptualize and critically think through new knowledge. There was a piece that clearly expected to have to refresh me on basic math logic, but it went by quickly.

Stop asking

Good app, but asked for a review one too many times.

Why I love this game so much

It easily teaches me how to program I love the way it teaches me how to program and code slowly and step-by-step rather than all at once

Great tool

Is great so far 4 stars because I don’t have full experience

Python

Mimo helps me a lot with python for my future trading job

Unclear packages

Mimo started great. Free app that you can upgrade to learn coding better. I used to be able to use the website to do my lessons for free. I upgraded to pro and a few months later it tells me that I have to upgrade to max to be able to use the website. What if I like to use the keyboard for typing code than the phone app? It’s ridiculous and I won’t renew my subscription next year

Não compensa! O aplicativo é bom, porém, para quem pretende usar a versão gratuita, é limitado total

Não compensa! O aplicativo é bom, porém, para quem pretende usar a versão gratuita, ele é superlimitado.

Hey, good news — Mimo is still mostly free! We believe learning should be accessible to everyone. The premium stuff (ad-free, certificates, exclusive projects) is what keeps the app alive. And as we grow, we'll keep adding more free content too. Thanks for supporting what we do!

Formerly flawless. Now, corporate and replaceable.

Mobile MIMO once let you go through a whole certification course on something like python for free. If you wanted unlimited sandboxing, or infinite retries, or special bot lessons, then you could pay to get additional value.

If you just wanted to learn and wait for your hearts to replenish while you go do your schooling or working or living, you could do that. Free.

It was epic. Quirky, fun, simple. Unique.

Either the devs went corporate and now answer to shareholders, or they are struggling to keep this juggernaut standing, or they just got greedy.

Now, you can sample the first lesson of any language, and if you want more, you must subscribe to do literally anything further. It is no longer pay to add value. It is pay to do anything at all.

Now, this isn’t necessarily a problem if you really enjoy the platform. It does make bite sized modules very intuitive to learn. It is a lot of fun.

However in a world where everyone is charging monthly to do anything on their platform (also after a paltry “sample”), it’s hard to stay loyal to any one platform.
