Paul has made an awesome app here! Smooth SwiftUI views with different modes. There is a learning section to understand the fundamentals and I enjoy the daily challenge. You can also collect cool badges 😎

### 5/5 — Videos Stopped Working

*2025-12-25, version 1.5*

I love this app and could never give it less than five stars.  I do wish the developer would fix the issue with the video’s not working on Mac OS.  I know it’s natively supported on Mac OS which is why I still give it five stars.  Please fix the videos.  Thank you.

### 5/5 — Amazing tool for a beginner

*2025-08-20, version 1.5*

As someone who is trying to learn how to code in his late 40s, I’m incredibly grateful for the generosity of this developer. This app is the perfect study tool for all of Paul Hudson‘s lessons on how to code with swift. I’ve tried off on over the years to learn how to code, and I never seem to get past the basics. Working through “100 days of SwiftUI“, it’s all finally starting to click. Thank you, Paul for all that you do!
