Ok for practice after web-based lessons
RT Solo
This is a decent app to supplement the real learning and practice done on the codecademy website, but it is extremely bare-bones, limited, and full of typos and errors on the practice/quiz portions. Sometimes the sample code just says BLANK BLANK BLANK and I have to choose the answers based on the question without having any sample code block to look at and fill in the needed sections. Sometimes the text colors are completely random in the blocks of code. Sometimes there are like 4 empty boxes to fill but the answer only requires 2, so you click an answer and it fills in 3 boxes and the next answer fills in the last. Some of the problems are phrased strangely e.g. “eliminate the answers that aren’t true” which sounds like you should click the wrong answers one-by-one until only the right one remains. Some of the questions say “created by” with a random username as if random people are creating these questions instead of professional programmers, which explains a lot of the mistakes I suppose. The web-based learning is great so far, but the app is only a slightly useful supplement to help retain what you learned with refresher blurbs and buggy quizzes.
Great companion app. Not standalone.

Guys. Oh, man. Those of you saying it is ridiculous to pay a couple dozen bucks a month for this are likely not realizing this is a COMPANION app to codecademy. For people leaning a skill that requires reading fine details, you sure do skim read. The website itself is absolutely incredible. This is a great flash card app. I would have liked this version to contain an IDE, but this is pretty great regardless.

Seriously, why do I have to sign in to use this. It bothers me when apps want my Facebook or Google sign in to use. Nope, no thanks, I’ll use something else.
Exactly as expected

You would hope people who are teaching you how to program would be good at making an app, and your hopes are fulfilled here.
Feels a little clunky and nothing like the web version

I like the web version where it lets me type out code and run it or where I can check the docs and explore a bit. The HTML ‘practice’ didn’t register my responses and was difficult to follow. I still use the web version instead of the app. Maybe I’ll use the app more as it develops more
No landscape mode?

Will actually review when the app doesn’t force my iPad screen upright. Need landscape mode when using a KEYBOARD cool thanks
