### 2/5 — Not what I expected or wanted

*2023-11-09*

This is basically just a series of video tutorials—not an interactive learning path at all. I would’ve just gone to YouTube if I wanted to watch videos about app development. 
But since I paid for the app I figured I’d give it a shot and unfortunately it was a waste of money. I personally find the videos unwatchable due to loud distracting background music. It also sounds like the developer/narrator is using a voice distortion effect. I have trouble understanding even non-distorted audio when I don’t have subtitles, so the combination of music and vocal effects here just makes me unable to process the content. 
Others may have better luck but this just wasn’t for me.
