  • “The content overall is good in terms of the info provided about Python. You mostly have to read it so it’s not about actually coding like in some other apps like Mimo. Huge drawback of this app is the ads. They are WAY too frequent and WAY”
  • “Couldn’t get into a lesson”
  • “I don’t mind an ad here or there, but this app is atrocious, sending up lengthy full screen ads that cannot be skipped at literally every turn. It lasted about 2 minutes on my ipad before I deleted it.”
• False advertising about offline functionality

  Multiple users highlight that the app claims to be offline-capable but requires constant internet access and fails to function properly without connectivity.

  • “It is not an offline app, — Most if not all of the things that you would expect this app to do it does very well while you have a connection to the internet however as soon as you are unable to establish a connection this app falls short of all expectations.”
  • “This app requires an internet connection”
  • ““Learn python offline, requires internet” — False advertising, deleted it assp.”
• Malicious or inappropriate ads (e.g., porn content)

  A serious concern raised by users who encountered explicit or potentially harmful ads, especially troubling given the app's 4+ age rating.

  • “Ads contain porn, not okay! — Having ads is one thing. Ads for porn content in an app advertised as 4+ is completely unacceptable!”
  • “It asks you to download an interpreter to run the code, then brought me to a place that tried to hack me with fishing attacks.”
• Post-update performance degradation

  Several users report that recent updates severely damaged app performance, making it slow, unresponsive, or outright unusable.

  • “update killed it — Had been the cleanest and best python learning app before the recent update. Since the recent update, annoying ads and poor performance made it extremely unpleasant to use it. Deleted.”
  • “Latest update killed it — Latest update made it so unresponsive to the point that it’s not useable anymore”
  • “Update on Feb 28, 2022 destroyed app. Slow and unresponsive. Did they not test it before publishing?”
• Unstable or broken core functionality

  Users report technical issues such as empty pages, compiler errors, and inability to load content despite having valid content in the app.

  • “Most of the pages don’t open — Downloaded this app and found that it has a lot of really cool features and topics to breakdown, but when trying to access them they open to empty pages. This app would be really useful if it worked.”
  • “Seems to have a compiler issue with strings — I can’t even do the simplest thing with a text string on the included compiler.”
  • “Past basic — Starting out most examples will run without errors in suggested environments. At the end of basic examples errors start occurring.”
• Inability to skip or close ads

  Users complain that ads cannot be dismissed without being redirected to external websites or forced to wait.

  • “Cant skip ads — Won’t let you skip adds”
  • “That and the ads are annoying in that some of them won’t close without forcing you to open some website.”
  • “Every move you make, another Ad you’ll take! — I haven't begun to use the app because every step I complete in just browsing launches an ad!”
