Learning Python for a side project, and this seemed like a good way to practice/learn while away from my computer, so I decided to download the “Learn Python” app (as that’s all I needed), and it was great! Eventually however, it decides to inform me that I need to download a new app, full of features that I don’t want, need, it care about. So I decide to use this app (out of necessity) and it allows me to continue where I left off. That’d be all well and good if it didn’t waste my time in the first place! Waste of time, stuffed full of unnecessary features that I feel are useless, and carefully reminding me that there’s a nice little button to make the ads (that weren’t present in the first app) go away, for 4 dollars a month. I’ll admit that that price is more than fair however, as this app seems to be good for learning or at the very least, brushing up.

I have no problem paying for apps or information. Apple should have a section that describes what in app purchases are available and at what cost. This app has good information. Some of the prompts may have too little of a description for some learners but for me it was fine. That being said I’m tired of using the app with the constant ads and pop ups asking you to subscribe. I’m not into 2 week trial deals that auto charge after after the trial period. I’m a busy guy and forget and that’s what they are counting on. I didn’t even get to use the app enough to see if I want to pay for it before I got too frustrated by the hobbled app and constant ads. Further aspects hidden behind pay walls don’t help.

Okay, so I guess the reading portions of the lessons are free, which is nice, but most people learn by doing. I hadn't even gotten through the third Javascript lesson yet before I got an alert saying that I'd run out of free practice. You could say just to go to my PC where there are more free resources available, but if I was readily able to do that, I wouldn't have bothered to find an app to help me learn. I have an infant who wants to be held at all times (and doesn't seem to like my office chair), and a requirement to learn Javascript for my job, so an app is how I'm attempting to make both work. Don't get me wrong, I'm a big believer in supporting the developers of apps that serve me well, and this app does look like it *might* be quite helpful to me. It's just hard to properly rate an app's usefulness when some of what I find to be essential parts of it are locked behind a paywall, so I don't know if I can properly evaluate it for purchase. While I know that there's a free trial, I know that I will be auto-charged upon that trial's expiration, and I don't know if I'll want to pay yet. I'd be okay with the free trial if it didn't involve consenting to pay upfront, rather than waiting until the trial's conclusion to ask me about it.
