The free mobile apps that will finally allow you to learn code 🚀

Hello World Today I wanted to share with you my personal list of mobile apps that I think can allow you to learn code in no time with all the pros and the cons.

1. Programming Hub

Pros:

A lot of courses in different subjects
Courses are well done and relatively complete to understand a subject
You have a lot of questions parts throw the course (It's really interactive)
They take great care of details - great course descriptions, very nice graphic design with lot of images, they provide a lot of context...
More than 5 millions downloads

Cons:

Only a few of the courses are free, you need to buy a 30$ life time access to unlock certificates and access to all the courses
Limited to courses, you don't have a social part
Questions may appear really easy
Courses are good to understand a subject, it's not really applicable to real world (you learn concepts that you can't really apply directly in the app)
Bugs when changing platform (mobile to pc)

Pros:

Advanced and well curated social part (You can follow others, make post, ask questions, chat with others...)
You have free code challenges
Courses go really in depth

Courses are really long and may appear difficult to true beginners

Thank you for the nice list! I've recently published a mobile app to help people prepare for the tech interview. It's a personalized quiz with correct answers, detailed explanations, and a couple of other cool features.

I've written over 1500 questions in Java, JS, Node, React, C#, HTML, and CSS. You can get the app on iOS and Android.

Let me know what you think of it!

Cool! I check right away.

Links lead to w3schools python interpreter....

[DevLorenzo]

Thanks for the feedback, I rectified the links.

IMHO SoloLearn doesn`t give you enough information and fundamentals

[DevLorenzo]

Sololearn courses are difficult to follow but can be good as a second / third passage when learning coding for the first time. Personally I really love sololearn challenges.
