Ok for practice after web-based lessons – Codecademy Go Review

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.
