Design+Code

I don’t think this is a good app. You cannot learn anything past the first chapter, which doesn’t teach you any coding, without a membership. Courses are hard to find and there are no filters to find the one you want. I would give this app a one star, if not for how visually appealing this app is. More to the bad, this app doesn’t have a good way to see what chapter you are working on or how much progress you have made. There is also a bug, where when I favorite the courses, it doesn’t show up as a favorite in settings.

As a student and UX designer, I was always looking for a app in the Store to help me learn more about how a design can appeal and help a user. I read many books and articles and watch many videos but I never got to read and interact with a ebook and this is where this app helps. It helped me understand how iOS 11 got its design principles and how you can use those principles in your own work and the developers and authors did a great job teaching me! I wished I had this as my ‘second ‘ textbook when I was in Web Design class! Thank you!!!

Design content is solid, links to resources and recommendations are also time savers. My only critique is of the app performance. It periodically crashes without saving my place or progress. It’s fast to load and to start again so for me it’s not a deal breaker. I’m not even taking a star because the content is so well done. Iron those small wrinkles out and it’ll be perfect.
