Programming Hero: Coding Fun

Very cool I love learning games because it makes learning fun. Codeing and programing games are fantastic because so much time is spent playing games just for fun but given the ability to balance that with learning not even the sky is the limit. To think I could truly master a profession by having fun is what humanity should strive for. Even if you lose or quit nothing is lost because you still won in the fact that you learned. Please keep it free knowledge should always be free.

It's really fun and easy to learn! I just got the pro version. Would be nice if you could edit your concept posts and filter coding language in the forum. A subtitle function on the videos would also be great. Overall it has a cool theme and fun examples. I love the badges/achievements.

I like this program, but I have earned my first certificate in python and the app will not recognize that I completed the first module of the course even though I did. When I try to go back and click thru the lessons so that it recognizes I've done them, the lessons simply won't open. Disappointed because I was proud to get the certificate. Support won't respond to my ticket for help with this issue.

App crashes on Android 14. It was working until I noticed the logo update. Loads the spaceman splash and then crashes. I've emailed you guys too. Let me know what I can send you. The app crashes on both Android phones I have; it's always been functional. I am a lifetime premium user. Please let me know as I do enjoy using this app for learning.

The user interface is humorous and enjoyable. It is a great start.However it doesn't tell you during the quizzes when you got a wrong answer at the time which can reinforce bad ideas. Also it asks you to go review the information when you fail a test, but fails to provide a place to review, there are just quizzes and semi randomly named planets. A sheet of what you learned would help, but I found the review the test option finally, which helps.Fix that this would be a really great learning app.

This app has made everything easier for me to understand. I like the complier and editor built into the app, which can also publish to GitHub and the fun learning style. Both are important to internalize the info. It filled in gaps for me. The only bug I noticed is how many clicks it takes to move to the next page. Also wondering if I can use the app's certificate on a resume?

I actually really love this app. I love the look, and I find it has valuable information & I love the different subjects that it offers. HOWEVER , my ONLY issue is that some of the buttons, for example, the "next" button, I have to tap several times for it to actually work. Every. Single. Time. Its really getting on my nerves. Please fix this bug.

Wish there were actual programming languages to chose from instead of having the beginner to advanced course. Also the UI/Text are misaligned in the galaxy button. Whenever you are choosing a new course from the "Courses" section, the UI at the bottom of the screen sometimes appears, sometimes only the course button appears, and other times nothing appears until you scroll down then up. Its just being inconsistent. Theses little details I'm listing off can change the feel of the app.

There is an enemy deleting the universe planet by planet, one galaxy at a time. It is your task to stop this new digital enemy from deleting the source code, and erasing all of existence. Ender's Game meets Destiny in this fun and educational app that teaches you to code with Python while building a fun click-and-shoot game. The lessons are well organized and the topics move quickly enough that I stay interested and excited to read the next slide. I feel like I learned a lot from what I did in the free areas, and decided to go ahead and dive into the deeper sections with the one time purchase option for premium. It has been every bit a bang for my buck and I have no regrets. I just aced my coding ninja exam! I am using the app on my Samsung Galaxy Note9 and I haven't run into any bugs or issues, zero crashes and slick performance. I highly recommend this app to anyone looking to get into programming or just looking for an app to burn extra down time.

I've only just begun and I absolutely love it. I bought the lifetime instantly. It has sandbox terminals and everything. Awesome app. Best one yet. They also have a course online. I wanted to sign up, but the site is in a language that Google can't even translate. I would have loved to taken the course, but oh well.... oh yea it even has videos as well to help and TTS so you can practice without looking at the phone.

I honestly like this app's idea and how it looks, which is cool. But once I got to the second lesson on the app, I would get kicked out of it easily. Too many bugs and glitches. If there was any way to make me download it again it would be for it to have itself stable...and not glitch me out. Other than that, I really like the idea. But please improve this app, so I can download it again.

Very easy to learn. I'm amazed. Having fun with learning. User just needs to have skills on algebra which is very common & basic knowledge in English to learn these quickly. The best part is it's offline. Because of offline, users can learn programming without thinking about battery & mobile internet data. It's the power to do more. Great job. Waiting for next level from it's developer.

So far so good, however for some reason I cant progress past the output section regardless of completing it 4 times now. Not sure what the issue is, but its definitely an issue. Looking forward to it being fixed and being able to continue using the app. In case anybody reads this, I'm currently using a J7star. Havent tried my chromebook yet, so here's hoping.

While this is a fun concept and easy way to learn basic output and variables, the result is not realistic. In real programming, print("planet") will not print a graphical, animated object to a starry background as this app teaches you to believe it will. It does not actually teach you how to build a real game, just as the famous guitar hero game does not teach you how to play guitar. Does writing "cereal" on a paper produce a real box of cereal for you to eat? It's fun, but not realistic.

This app is great, but has typos. Fun with modern real-world examples most can understand, but geared more towards 13 year olds. Not informative since you are told exactly what to type. There is no interpreter provided. The marketed theme is you as a superhero, but there is nothing about heros in the app. Overall, this game needs more thematic coherence, an increased difficulty, and minor editing updates. It has lots of room for improvement.

Truly one of a kind experience to programming. I've been taking a course online on edX, and I was using this to kind of review for my final exam. I was surprised by the amount of content on here, it goes well beyond my beginner and Fundamentals Pyhton class. I would give easily five it more than 5 stars if I can. I wish you guys had more classes that relate to AI, or maybe mathematics like statistics or linear Algebra. I wish you all the best, and thanks again for this wonderful app.

I haven't used the app for more than a week yet but I loved it enough so far that I already went for the lifetime premium! I'll update this review after using it for a month. I think the team is moving forward in a very promising way and seem to be extremely active and talented. The only negative I've found so far is the dark mode doesn't seem to work everywhere in the app (forums, settings, etc.) *I'm very much looking forward to the more advanced web development courses coming up soon!*
