| 2024-12-01 |  | | This app is amazing for beginners wanting to learn coding for Web Development. I've learned so much valuable information in just my first week of studying. There are plenty of exercises to practice a newly introduced concept each time. The free version is packed with such great information, that I'm willing and confident in purchasing the paid version for additional content. |
| 2024-11-30 |  | | Nice format. The app is missing the ability to test out of units that the learner already has a good grasp of. It could be my phone settings, but it seems like the editor aggressively selects text when I try to place the text cursor, specifically if nothing in the text editor window had already been selected. It takes 3-4 taps to get the cursor where I want it to go. Heaven help you if you are trying to add a line below the top line. Gets frustrating after a while. |
| 2024-11-28 |  | | Generally,I like the app. Why the one star review? Because companies keep getting away with these pricing schemes hoping that you won't notice some detail and then taking your money. I was offered PRO for half off of the year (limited time only, naturally), not realizing that MAX and PRO were different. PRO is just worse MAX and infinitely more expensive than basic (which is free). PRO doesn't need to exist as it doesn't offer anything over basic other than an IDE which I can get for free.1 star |
| 2024-11-25 |  | | I love the way Mimo presents information in bite-sized pieces! Unfortunately, Mimo has a heart system in place. Users learn through failure and punishing failure like that is counterproductive. Instead of focusing on learning, users have to focus on not making a mistake - learning nothing in the process. It makes learning a chore and unfun. Online, Youtube, and your local public library are better options if you legitimately want to learn coding / programming without limits. |
| 2024-11-18 |  | | Refilled my hearts and still had to completely start over. Tapping randomly highlights text when it should just drop the cursor there. Holding should highlight text. Can be so frustrating I'll just let it delete what's highlighted and retype the provided boilerplate. Also, in the middle of typing code the cursor randomly shoots up and continues typing into line 1. Gg. Sololearn is better when it comes to the mobile typing experience, but Mimo has better content. |
| 2024-11-15 |  | | Not for the intermediate user. I wanted to improve my python skills but you have to go through the whole beginner levels and they are endless! The user interface is nice in that they make it easy for you to type on the phone. Not into the whole gamification thing. |
| 2024-11-04 |  | | Frustrating Limitations of PC Subscription: A Missed Opportunity I've had mixed experiences with my recent subscription, which linitially thought would offer a complete, streamlined experience across all devices-especially my PC. While the subscription grants access to great content, there are significant limitations on the PC version that hold it back, making it feel like a half-baked experience. |
| 2024-10-28 |  | | I try to upgrade to the max subscription and it worked on an account email account that I don't even use. I lost the fourteen day trial somehow and I'm still in the proversion and as long as I still get reimbursed , confirm that ill get my 14 days trial and i will change my review. EDIT: they seem to have granted my main account max but I have no details on time frame or reimbursement. Adding a star. |
| 2024-10-28 |  | | The UI is clean. The paths are easy to follow. Having achievements and rankings make it fun and compatible especially if you have started with friends. The entire experience for me so far has been much more than expected. The bite-size delivery system makes it much more easier to pause and resume later if needed. |
| 2024-10-28 |  | | Content is easy to follow, structure makes it easy to retain and the examples provided can be taken and applied in a test environment so you can see it in action twice; in the app and trying it yourself. Has a bit of the Duolingo structure, which I appreciate a lot, all in all, great app. |
