Just downloaded the app after signing up for the pro account Christmas Day 2018, actually. Love everything you guys are trying to do. However, the app doesn’t work, or not properly at least. Went into web developer section, finished the review cards, finished my first question in the practice section , clicked “next” and it wouldn’t filter to the next question. I backed out and tried again, same problem. Did that several times, to no avail. Now, I’m currently locked in the search window, I clicked the search icon at bottom of screen, and it wouldn’t let me out of that window. I’m guessing there’s a glitch that needs to be fixed. I have an up to date iPhone. Thank you.

I’ve been working through the Web Dev career path for the last month and I can’t say enough great things! I did purchase the pro upgrade and it was SO WORTH IT. So, for the people who say “omg how can you charge $20/month for that?”, do you hear yourselves? That’s literally less than $2/day. If you can’t swing that for something your passionate to learn then you aren’t passionate at all. So, if that’s you, please do us a favor and switch to something you want to do or else you’ll be an annoying programmer to work with in the future. Thanks Codecademy for all that you do. Great job.

So far I really am enjoying the app. I love that it has a flash card review and practice since that’s always been the quickest way I’ve learned. FOR THE LIFE OF ME, HOWEVER, I can’t seem to wrap my head around why the Pro upgrade is upwards of $16 a month ($100-$200 a year)... I’m really working to increase my knowledge and skill set so I’m currently learning from various different platforms, all of which, might I add, average their Pro/Premium upgrades to be approximately $20 A YEAR! I’m not sure how many people are actually paying for the Pro upgrade here...perhaps it’s individuals already in the Tech field just looking to refresh their brains but there’s no way I will ever pay that. ...Unless there’s some brain zapping, immediate transfer of knowledge to your cells function I’m missing you guys REALLY need to go back to the drawing board!

The idea of being able to practice when I am not near the computer. I downloaded Datacamp even just bc they had a free app n Codecademy hadn’t released this yet n I will say it is much better than Datacamp. Only problem I have so far is that the practice doesn’t load all the time. I tried yesterday and it didn’t load and trying today also seems to not want to load. Im connected to wifi as well, even restarted my phone so I’ve only practiced once but that one time was good...

The lessons leave so many questions unanswered. If you need to google what some of the terminology is, why use the app at all? Then they jump into practice questions and if you didn’t google you’ll be completely lost. So you’re left repeating the questions until you guess the correct answer. I want to KNOW the correct answer and why it’s the correct answer. If I already knew how to do the work I wouldn’t need to use the app. So I guess the goal isn’t to teach people who are new at this, but to prove to people who are already experienced that they know what they knew? I don’t know. I’m just really frustrated that I’m not really learning anything other than how annoying it is to not have the information presented in a way that makes sense.
