  • The most amazing app for older adult learners!

    DaMoj01

    As an older adult learning coding from the ground up this app definitely is helping me to understand the basics in an easy to understand format while providing an editor to see my work as I learn. Kudos to the FreeCodeCamp team for creating an app and complete program designed for those of us who learn by hands-on training and chunking. I truly enjoy the labs and workshops portion that brings the it all together.

  • Perseverance!

    Took me a while for anything I started here. I use the web site mainly, for my next certification or project I may start using this app more. Thank you, Quincy and your team for creating this resource for the community! I will spread the word! Thank you, thank you and thank you!

  • The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly

    The GoodLots of information and structure provided for learning HTML, CSS, and Python (Having never used HTML before I was able to finish the basic HTML Web Development course in a few hours.)The BadThis app has a few bugs that became apparent after just a few hours of using it, however it is worth noting that none of these bugs hinder your ability to learn and progress through the courses.The UglyProgress is saved, but does not visually appear for the user. They have unfilled circles by each module and steps in white lettering. Upon completing a step the lettering stays white, and upon completing a module the circle remains unfilled. Its demotivating when looking at the modules or steps as it visually would seem like you are making no progress, even though you are constantly learning and becoming more familiar with the information. I would highly suggest making the step number turn green when a step has been finished and likewise having the unfilled circle fill green when a module is completed.Conclusion:This app is a highly accessible, free tool with room for improvement, that will provided you the structure and information you need to be successful.If you are looking to learn HTML, CSS, and/or Python and currently have little to no experience coding with these languages this app is for you.

    Thanks for your insightful review. On the topic of displaying progress, we do that when the user is signed in and you see a blue box around each step you finish along with the module becomes checked when all steps are completed.Also could you email us at mobile@freecodecamp.org with the bugs you came across when using the app.

  • Learning section needs polishing

    Stability has improved since the first time I tried to use this app, but I'll continue to stick with the desktop site. Scrolling through the list of project lessons is pretty janky on my iPhone SE2, and the app does not sync progress on user-written certification projects. The current project I'm working on is completely blank in the app. Small nitpick but the sidebar does not show profile picture and donor status, just a placeholder user icon. These display correctly on the Profile page. I haven't really dived into Tutorials or Podcasts, so this experience is strictly with the project-based coding courses. Hope improvements continue as I'm a big fan of fCC on the whole and seamless mobile accessibility of lesson plans would be extremely convenient.

  • Definitely a great download

    Super happy I’m able to use and support an app as helpful and useful as this one. This should be one of the steps people take if they want to involve themselves in programming. They even teach English! My donations shall continue!!

  • Why is the app like this ?

    HeymyNameDB

    Through all the videos you guys upload, you clearly have the skill to make a great looking application this looks like someone just threw it to the wall hoping it would stick.. there’s a ton of information between courses and it’s just one big waterfall of information! If it’s not already make it open source so people can help
