Sololearn: Learn to code

月島亜利矢

This is my first time leaving a review on an app but Sololearn is absolutely worth it. I have spent months attempting to teach myself Python via various free online "camps" but failing after feeling I didn't fully understand the use for the things I was learning. I downloaded this app just to practice on-the-go but I was shocked by how thorough and easy to follow the courses and content are. I learned more in one week of Sololearn than 6 months of code camps. Absolutely worth trying.

Two stars because the structure of the courses seem useful and app interface is decent. However, the app crashes every single time I try to launch a practice exercise. Makes the app useless to me as practicing on the go is the whole point. I've contacted the dev, we'll see what they say.

My only real gripe is too much is held hostage behind the pay wall (at least for Java, guessing it's the same for all tho). For people truly beginning with little or no experience, most of the practice options are essentially locked, which makes learning all the harder since many lessons are just filling in basic keywords and not actual coding. I'm on lesson 9, and have only 'earned' enough in game currency to unlock 2 practice sessions... will stick with it as seeing the code is still helpful

I've taken courses on html and C++ in highschool, and Java at a university. I came across this app and decided to download it to touch up on what I've learned, as well as to learn some new languages. I must say I'm very impressed! I'm currently enrolled in a Python course, and I'm learning faster through this app than I did at a university! The courses are structured very well, the material is clear and easy to understand, and chat makes it feel like you're in a classroom! Thank U Sololearn! :)

Great app to get into the basics. Some of the lessons lack information required to complete. Thankfully, the comments for each lesson are very informational and typically provide the right push to get an answer. Quite a bit of features require the paid Pro version. Seems like a worthwhile investment considering what coding knowledge can provide as far as income.

Very helpful for learning basics! And the Comments of every exercise are a treasure trove of people helping each other with further tips, tricks, and pointers. To play around with the code on your own it seems that you have to have the paid "Pro," so you might have to find another free program for sandboxing or experimenting, but all in all this is an amazing resource. Just go slow and steady and DON'T try to race through, and take notes while you go.

Everything was fine. I liked the two week free trial, when it expired, I went ahead and got the monthly plan to extend it a month. My transaction of 6.99 went through. Fast forward a couple days, they, without my permission even, took 47.99 from the SAME account for the yearly plan . I have sent 3 emails and my phone bill is past due. These mfs will cost me more in fees than they have been worth to me.

Although this is a good app for learning, it doesn't explain some of the things its teaching better nor give good examples. It feels like it's built for those who have experience. There is the comment section but that doesn't help much either. What also discouraged me from investing is the fact I was told I was getting bits for the streaks for logging on daily but did not receive anything. And this happened twice.

The lessons and quiz questions are poorly constructed, shallow, and ineffective. This app wants your time and money, and won't reward either in a meaningful way. It's possible these courses were "designed by expert programmers", but they *should* have been designed by expert instructors, instead. This is definitely *not* the right way to learn to code, not by any stretch of the imagination.

The app is fairly fun, but it definitely needs some work as far as lessons are structured. There also needs to be a glossary for the various symbols and what their function is. Especially at the beginning lessons. As is it can be overwhelming and almost useless as a learning tool for beginners if you don't have someone to help guide you.
