The app is useless. It only gives you random course recommendations and doesn't let you access your enrolled courses. There's no menu navigation, you can't access your profile or your activity history, and there's no real course access. Nearly every option in the app redirects and opens the website in your browser, so using the browser is the better way to go from the start.

Due to my limited free time i was unable to make full use of my subscription. I really enjoyed the site, there were a few times i wish they included a better example or more instruction but overall its worth the money if you have the time to commit. Unfortunately I don't think I will be renewing my subscription due to the fact that i cant always access my computer to make use of the site. If they make it so that you can practice coding on the app instead of just flash cards id come running back

I am leaving this review about the PRO version: I got interested in coding a little over a year ago. I discovered codecademy, did a little on the basic plan, and they had a 50% off deal so I thought why not. For me the biggest downfall is help. If you are stuck on a problem or just want to know why something works the way it does, you have no one to ask. Your best bet is the community but nothing is guaranteed. I Feel like this has been my biggest setback in terms of learning much.

Little disappointed to see that the language I had been working on, C, couldn't be done on this app... But it's not bad. The system is great and very user friendly. It took me like a minute to login for the first time because all you have to do is just click the login with email button. But I was really hoping to have C be in the language list and it's not.

I do like Codecademy thier website is amazing especially if you subscribed to Pro, but for the app there needs to be more especially if you are paying for a subscription. There are other apps that will actually let you practice coding and go through the course without needing a computer. This comes in really handing especially when some of us work 50 hours a week and only get to use their apps on breaks most days. Other then that you guys doing a really great job!!!

Wonderful for reviewing but I was really hoping to take my lessons on the go. I work a full time job and on my breaks I would have loved to sneak in some bits of lessons. Instead I'm reviewing with this flashcard like app. For being a Pro member I'm quite disappointed, I expected more. Especially for the amount paid for Code Academy Pro. This app shouldn't even be locked to Pro members for its contents. Maybe if you were to make the actual lesson paths mobile, then it could be locked to Pro.

Update: I was finally able to sign in on the app. I will reserve a 5 stars for it until I am able to poke around it some more. I signed up with an email on the desktop and then found the app. Every single time I try to sign in on the app it says it's unable to log in to make sure it's a valid account or try again later. Can't use an app I can't sign into.

I have a Codecademy account with Gmail and am able to log in easily to the app. The app is quite nice and I find a variety of questions using the unpaid version by finishing the practice questions and selecting the "Get another pack" option that appears below after completing the module. There is some overlap or repetition I questions, but not nearly as much as others seem to report. It is great practice that helps remind me of concepts as a beginning, which I find very important for retention.

Unable to use the app, at all. I get logged in, and immediately get logged out. Or I log in, start doing excersized and as I'm doing them, it logs me out on its own. Each time I try to log in I get a message "too many log-in attempts", even though I just logged in for the first time... Reinstalling the app doesn't help at all.

Terrible app! I've been trying to go through a lesson for the past 10 minutes. The app sends you to an external web browser and page. And almost every action to navigate within that webpage force-closes the whole browser and then resets the connection between app and browser. The webpage might be great. I'll try it when I get the chance but, this app is getting deleted.

Only thing I've tried to learn coding on, but I'm chugging through the lessons, staying challenged, and starting to find practical use in what I've learned in just a couple weeks. Mobile app is good for a mobile app version of it, can't do everything but it's nifty stuff like flashcards and fill in the blank. Good way to stay fresh when you're afk.

A lot of work went into this but the but the navigation is terrible. Its hard to understand when back gestures will take you completely out of a lesson. Some lessons you can't access because they are grey and that must mean something but I'm they don't say that. Then the info in the lessons are presented at random and sometimes they give you different information. The lack of consistency is hard to deal with while learning.

This does not compare to the browser well at all. This app is primarily flash cards of the same content, regardless of where you are in the course on the browser; and the smart practice is the same few questions. Not a mix of questions from a small question pool: its the same question pool. Not worth using after 5 minutes, which also means its not worth downloading.

If you haven't enrolled in many courses or paths, then you'll only have the same 4 or 5 practice sets to use. You'll start to notice the same questions after a while. So, keep your rotation large and varied. If the developers went through and added even more questions, it'd only be better.

I am highly disappointed with Codecademy. After solving programs, it’s almost impossible to proceed further because whenever we try to submit or check our work, it keeps loading for hours (sometimes even 2 hours) and nothing happens. For the past 2 days, I couldn’t make any progress due to this issue. The support team is also very poor. They don’t provide quick solutions, and there’s no option to directly talk to a customer care agent on call. It feels like they don’t care about user problems.

catalgoue in app is tiny. have to exit app to web to see. the catalogue visually looks like it was designed by an intern. very archaic looking. python3 requires you to upgrade? really? likely the most popular course. why wouldn't you provide a free ad-ridden experience to python3? that's the least you could do. try w3schools instead.

Streak timeline doesn't work accurately - I do something today but the date counted is yesterday's date. Secondly, promotions and special offer notifications won't turn on. Only useful for practice questions.

Such a informative and fun program! I tried both pro and free versions where both is really good! If you don't have your computer with you, and you want to practice, here; the perfect app! It has a lot of great programming languages which you can learn, practice and review. While the pro version including a lot of extra stuff where you can test yourself, even the free version is pretty good unlike many other apps. You want to practice more, you came to the right place!

One might expect to be able to use the app to do the actual lessons (the main reason we use CodeAcademy), but this only gives you some flash cards and cheetsheets, making it essentially useless.

I signed up/enrolled to a bunch of courses and it's not giving me any practice questions or like notifications? the app doesn't really explain to you how things work doesn't feel like it's teaching me anything I'm just confused
