Encode was great! I was learning JavaScript during my bus ride to school. I was probably a fifth through when Encode gets a massive update and turns into Knowin. Now there’s a subscription (I don’t buy subscriptions, only permanent purchases) and that subscription restricts most of the languages on the app. I still understand that this is hard and you need money so that’s not what I’m upset about. I need help getting my JavaScript progress from Encode onto Knowin. Please help.
I downloaded this app after starting a coding “bootcamp” to help reinforce what I was learning there. I have no prior coding experience so this is all very new to me. I made it through the entire JavaScript segment in about a week and it was very concise, well written, and well structured to help me retain the information presented. I would recommend this app to anybody fresh to coding that wants to learn at their own pace in a well structured manner.
This app is fun, light and great for those who are trying to reenforce their skills. It is a little personal and I do feel like I am being socially engineered at times. It ask you to input data such as: what was you elementary schools name, what was the name of your childhood best friend. What is your age and name. These are all passwords reset/ authentication questions and should NOT be shared with any app.
I really want to like this app, as the devs definitely have a sense of humor and I love their mission. But despite having some rudimentary knowledge of several different coding languages, I find myself confused and befuddled by their python lessons. This really can’t be used by beginners. (Not to mention, there are some obvious grammar errors that need to be cleaned up.) As a free app, it’s fine. The frustration is worth it for the knowledge. But as a paid app, it needs to be smoothed out and proofed to be worth the money.
The layout and color scheme are too busy and the answer system is obnoxious (sometimes you have to submit an answer, sometimes it auto-submits). The “continue” button is red, which is sort of synonymous with “stop.” It is nice that you can just scroll through all the lesson questions on a single page once you’re done, I haven’t seen any of the other apps do that and it is very handy for review.
I wanted to learn coding during my commute. But so many free to start apps require a constant Internet connection, and my train is often stuck underground without service. I greatly appreciate that you can use Encode even offline. (It being offline also means that it can't load the ads, if you find that annoying.)The lessons included are indeed simple, and I absolutely think if you're an intermediate study in JavaScript or HTML/CSS you won't get much out of this. But as a beginner cramming these lessons in to/from work, who was only ever able to make good old 90's GeoCities webpages at best, the bite-sized chunks it's broken down into makes computing language much easier for to process.The extra challenges as reinforcement and the compound lessons putting everything together is worth the $4.99 unlock, but even if you're looking to just start learning for free you could do much worse than Encode.
So I learned all my basics for HTML and CSS through Encode (the previous name before Knowin) and I have to say I loved the interactive, hands-on, you-type-it mode that It had. But don’t get me wrong, this app is still very good at teaching the basics for coding in any of its available subjects. But just as someone who still remembers the very interactive mode of Encode, I do miss it. Personally it was better for me to type it out than to press buttons to questions. So if its possible to bring this back into Knowin, that would be awesome. Like I said awesome app that can teach you so much, I would just like to see that type-it-yourself mode back. But overall, it is a very solid app, good job developers!
The app is really understandable and has no such thing as other apps were u should start a exercise and have things like hearts and when u make a mistake u lose them and so on forced paying required experiences which is quite common in apps which include educational content in them and in knowin u can try an exercise several times and take notes or retry which is what i love and the next thing i like about it is it’s comfortable UI ,i hope they get what they deserve for the app
After this app made the switch from Encode to Knowin, I had my doubts, but the interface itself is beautiful and intuitive, plus the themes (plum, sea, and night) are gorgeous. The ghost of Encode still haunts the app when it opens, and sometimes the swipes lag a little, but that’s to be expected with such a massive overhaul & turnaround for an education app. Not nearly enough to warrant taking off a star, especially when the app itself is supplementing my coding journey so well. Thanks for a great and affordable learning experience!
This app has been extremely helpful. It teaches the fundamentals and uses a very basic manner to teach in, making the range of ages to use this app almost any age. Thank you for making self designed adds. The learning is free, even if it is so high quality. In conclusion, this app is great, and regardless of how old you/your kid/your friend is, it will be easy but yet interesting to learn.
