freeCodeCamp

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.

The Good Lots 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 Bad This 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 Ugly Progress 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.
