Ty

it is good for you to code

Amazing app

The app is amazing and its a really good way to learn basic languages like JavaScript css html etc but id love to see more languages and frameworks like react node.js and typescript

Good for beginners and for refreshers.

I’ve used w3schools for many years… not only did I use its tutorials to learn HTML, CSS, and JavaScript; but, I also taught my students using w3schools, as well. I still reference w3schools when I need a refresher course.

Disappointing energy system

It takes over a day for the energy to charge up, just pushing the pay to learn. Would rather just use the site.

I love this app my credits to the creator

The Duolingo-equivalent of Computer Programming~♫

I would recommend using this if you want to learn via gameplay.

Awesome app

I love this app

Great except the energy system.

The app itself is good and does a nice job of teaching and helping me understand coding concepts. However, the lessons are very short, and unless you're paying, you only get one lesson per day. The energy system makes this worse, since it takes a full day to recharge after a single lesson. For a learning app, that limit makes it hard to build momentum, and it's pretty frustrating. I'd love to see a more generous free tier, like more lessons per day or a faster energy refill.

Broken app

There are better apps to learn from and get rewards. This app tries to lock you in and eat your money. Point and click scam to sell stuff

Easy to follow

This is well thought out and I am learning as we go!

Wonderful

I love it 🩷🩷

Good

Good for learning

Why Is There an Energy System?

Why advertise an educational platform only to paywall it with an energy system? An extremely expensive one at that - very low energy and its hard to get beyond just waiting. I have used W3schools to learn various programming languages, and I was excited when I saw they made an app. However, my disappointment is immense at the revelation of an energy system. You would just be better off visiting the website and reading off of that rather than wasting storage space and time to use this app.

Great except the energy system

I honestly love it! I’m learning Java in school right now and thought I’d hop on here to supplement my learning and practice extra. While the app helps, it’s frustrating to only have 3 energy max (1 energy per lesson), and it takes an entire 24 hours to get 1 back. If we could have more total, and/or retain energy faster for more learning opportunities, it would be even better!

energy too low

energy is worse than duolingo! i think earn one bar every 24 hours and energy is used not with mistakes but just doing something. so you get maybe 1 lesson every 24 hrs. class has potential but the lesson and quizzes are also repetitive. how often do u need to practice <p>? maybe duolingo will come out with coding. at least you only lose energy from mistakes.

Fun and easy way to learn coding!

Really enjoying the new adventure map and weekly quests! The bite-sized lessons are easy to follow, and exercises like multiple-choice questions, spot the error, and fill in the blanks make learning more engaging. I also love the pixel avatars—they add a fun touch. A great way to learn and practise coding a little every day!
