Fun way to learn lots about coding. Enjoyed the lessons as they helped explain how it worked. The only downfall is that after you've gone through some of the lessons, you have to pay for a monthly membership or a yearly membership. I'm disappointed that I now have to either have a membership to use the app or just uninstall it. I truly enjoyed the app and the teaching process it uses.

I started using Brilliant to help prepare me for a math placement test (it's been over 10 years since I've taken a math class) and I'm loving it so far! The lessons are short and to the point and offer visual representation of certain math problems. They are so helpful. My only issue is it has frozen a couple times on me while using the phone app. No issues with the desktop version though.

Beware & Disappointing. Do not install this app until you're ready to use it on day 1. The developer kindly offers trying 7 days premium for free but does not disclose that you have 48 hours to accept it until it's too late. There should be an option to choose when to start the free trial. Will not have time to start using it until Thanksgiving holiday. Now I'll lose that free trial offer. We'll see if app gets a better rating at some point. The marketing got to me which is why I downloaded now.
