I paid the $36 anniversary offer for the pro membership which should’ve been for a lifetime. I purchased this back in 2022. I’ve been trying to gain access to the pro courses and it says that I don’t have a subscription. I reached out to technical support they told me to provide all of the proof of payment which I did. I got a response that everything was fixed and it would work. It didn’t work!! I reached out to them again! I had to provide the same information again and 2 more times after that. I’ve only gotten the run around. I keep getting the same responses- how they understand and they apologize and they’re gonna transfer me to technical support. After no one got back to me I tried to reply again and it says I exceeded the maximum allowed exchanges. Apparently I’ll be getting a refund. If it actually goes through I will gladly come back and update my review!
First off, I would like to say that I used to love programming hub. The UI was easy to navigate, it was quick enough, and there weren't really any issues with the text.As of about a year or two ago, however, a lot has changed.The UI is slow and clunky. There isn't an easy or quick way to access your certificates, making it a hassle to access even one. There is also a course that I have completed, but the "unlock certificate" button simply does nothing.The biggest problem with this app is the text. I'm not sure who wrote half of these courses, but it's trash. Many lessons are littered with grammatical mistakes and many others have false information. I would love to recommend programming hub. After all, it won an award in 2017. It seems some time after that though, they gave up. I want to see improvements again. When I want to learn a new language, I want to WANT to go to this app to learn, but it's just such a hassle and not the best way to learn anything it seems.
I feel obligated to do so for this one. I’m a complete noob in IT, programming, Coding, hacking, all of it. But, always had a huge interest in learning and knowing how to completely understand, build and use a computer, network, internet, virtual machines and websites. Though I don’t think I’m anywhere near knowledgeable enough to land any entry level job into any of the related fields, this app has really made learning the basics super user friendly and easy to comprehend. I’m not sure yet how in depth some of these courses go. But, I’ve started with the basics so far and can say I’ve grasped it all and retained most well. Which has always been hard for me. I bought the pro version, so I get certificates at the end of each course. I’m sure they’re not accredited with any sought after employers or firms but stepping stones towards the knowledge needed then applied in real life as practice would likely be sufficient in a year or two with consistent effort every day, multiple times a day in this app. I’m on day 2, completed 2 courses (fundamentals and SEO), I just started my 3rd (IT Basics) and don’t plan on stopping until every course is completed. Sorry for going on and on. Figured I could share as much as possible since I won’t be leaving anymore reviews on anything else for a solid 5 years or so.

I initially wrote a decent long review, explaining why I think the lifetime membership was worth it. However, I lost it all. When I was replacing my screen, I had to use a Windows computer while I was online I hit the F12 key, exposing the layout for the webpage seeing all the HTML and structure of the website I was intrigued and wanted to learn more like everybody else I came across other apps and courses charging an arm leg and not knowing if he was getting what you paid for! I truly believe based off experience you can find anything you want to learn online for free! Especially when it comes to anything related to coding or computer science! After being prompted to pay for a course that was outrageous or apps, that only let you do a tiny bit, and then prompt to pay. After several apps, I came across ProgrammingHub using the free version for a while I was prompted with a lifetime membership of less than €40 I was hesitant after a week I decided to purchase it! Literally anything you can think of or if you’re just someone starting out if you have an idea or something specific or someone that’s interested in anything to do with coding or involving computers and servers and everything that goes with it is on here! Even if you don’t know how a computer works or how anything related to the digital world, you can find out understand it, feel confident using ProgrammingHub, and actually understand and build off of it! This is literally the only thing I’ve paid for on my coding journey with ProgrammingHub and all the free resources you’re set
My dream job(BTW, I’m 10,) is to become a programmer! I want to help with the advancement of medicine. But, I thought that programming language was hard to understand, or complicated, with all those tags and everything. I’ve tried some things. Did not work very well. So, I one day decided to browse through the App Store, bored, finding what could be right for me. But then, this app caught my very eye.I thought that this app was another boring old app that is just like any other; repetitive, boring, and unteachable. But, I got it anyway, to see how it worked out. And do you want to know what I thought? This is actually fun and educational!It breaks lessons thoroughly and easy. It gives you a mini lesson about that sub-lesson to that big lesson on this giant app. You guys made this app fun! I’m learning JavaScript, and it breaks it up step by step. No wonder it has so many 5 star ratings!There is a little room for improvement. For example, where is intermediate? You go from beginner to advance. Where is that? There is no in between! Also, you could make more categories. It’s just tedious finding the course you want. Then, if you can’t find it, you have to search it, and what if you can’t remember the name! Please consider this as constructive feedback and not critical.Anyways, back to the pros. Love the pictures to go along with it! It really helps with the research part if you wanna do apple or AI or C++ and so forth!So, I love this app, and please make more!Peace out-Brock Lytle(RedDogRunning)

I bought Pro and am happy I did. A wide variety of topics, most lessons are compact and not wasting anyone’s time, and clearer explanations than other apps. However, there are a few bugs and the Grammar/English can be tough at times. To me, the point of language is to convey ideas, so it doesn’t matter if you use the wrong “your” or say ain’t, but some of these statements in here have to be read several times to make sense. Lots of typos. For bugs, my courses don’t track progress correctly. I refresh and the percentage hops around, even if I’ve completed the course. Completed courses don’t show up under completed. I’ve done six or seven and only one is there. I can’t change my name or picture even though I’m typing in my password correctly. I think the save button doesn’t work in the top right corner. Several random crashes. I am running the newest update of the app and iOS. Also, quit asking me to rate five stars after every lesson. I’ve rated 5 stars several times. Here’s 3 more
