### 5/5 — The Bee’s Knees

*2024-06-22, version 1.3.3*

Loving it so far!

### 3/5 — Good app, no longer supported though

*2024-04-16, version 1.3.3*

Great learning tool, as of about 2020/2021ish. Any major changes to swift after that won’t be reflected here.

Aside from that it does a great job of breaking everything down; I personally like the order and method in which it’s taught.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2024-02-21, version 1.3.3*

Great app, the explanations are my favorite so far in any language, I think it has great potential for many publics.

I will buy the full lesson plan.

### 1/5 — Somethings wrong

*2023-02-21, version 1.3.3*

Hi I was trying to use this app but it kept saying loading cloud data.I want to make a video game and will not work.

### 5/5 — Amateur Coder

*2022-06-21*

When it comes to coding it can be hard to find any appropriate resources to use on a phone. I’ve done SOME coding in C# via Unity and had fun with that. But because of that I was nervous to move to another language. 

TapCoding has been a breath of fresh air. It’s intuitive, easy to understand, and a fantastic little tool for when you’re on the run or in bed and can’t be bothered going to the computer. 

As an introduction to Swift, I highly recommend this. I’m about 1/4 through the content and my confidence in learning Swift has gone through the roof. I now understand a good amount of the basics and see the differences between C# and Swift. 

If you’re looking to dig into Swift, grab this app. There are free lessons to get you started, and if you want to go further there is a VERY affordable price to unlock the more advanced content.

### 3/5 — Still not sure either way

*2022-06-03*

After completing the free lessons so easily I was compelled to purchase the rest of the app. It is a bit steep but the learning concept seemed to work with the free lessons. I am on the third ll fourth pay lesson now and am a bit confused. I don’t understand what all these things are for. If you already state x = 8 then why would you need to have all these true ll false constants about x? I guess I would like to know how all of these booleans and stuff are going to be needed in coding. A few examples of why we would need these strings would be helpful. I will update my review when I am done with all the lessons. Hopefully it will all make sense then.

### 1/5 — Swift version so outdated is not funny

*2022-02-21*

Outdated

### 5/5 — Review

*2022-01-14, version 1.3.3*

Really good just needs reminders

### 5/5 — Totally Satisfied

*2021-08-28, version 1.3.3*

It explains the concepts well, using simple language and examples. It’s interactive and bite-sized. Job well done.

### 4/5 — please add dark mode!

*2021-07-20*

great app but please add dark mode and keep updating
