Nishnaabemdaa, takes you to the fun world of understandable Nishnaabe-language. We’ve carefully designed and produced immersion-style that you’ll be able to understand the general meaning of the words. Barbara Nolan is grateful to have survived the attempts by Canada’s Indian residential schools system to take her Nishnaabe language from her. As a vibrant first-speaker of Nishnaabemwin, Barbara has spent several decades working with a variety of organizations to revitalize our language. Her most recent ten years have been particularly exciting for her. Partnering with John Paul Montano as his mentor, one of her biggest dreams has come true: Barbara’s language has been successfully passed on to the next generation! She is so very thankful that John Paul is now a speaker of the Nishnaabe language.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Nishnaabemdaa at none against Code! Learn Swift Version's 12. Nishnaabemdaa also leads on rating (4.8 vs 4.4) and update cadence (weekly vs every 3 weeks). Code! Learn Swift Version's advantage is review sentiment (87% vs 60%) and ratings volume (6.7K vs 4). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Nishnaabemdaa holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Code! Learn Swift Version has 6.7K ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 60% of Nishnaabemdaa's written reviews are positive against 87% of Code! Learn Swift Version's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Nishnaabemdaa ships an update weekly, Code! Learn Swift Version every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 15, 2026 and October 13, 2026 respectively.
