Codecademy is fine for the free courses. However if it's not possible to complete the paid ones, you may have wasted your money as the debugging methods don't work. The 'AI' tool is superficial and do... See more

Is some free courses on codecademy but to use whole course you mast pay. They should tell that before you start them. For me they are not free!

A Great way to Learn!

This is has been the best online learning experience I've had with Programming. I've tried a lot of different sites and programs, and for me, Codecademy sets the standard. It has even helped me stay engaged with my learning.

Great customer service

I loved Codecademy when I used the site, it's fun and makes it easy to learn. I have not used the site for a long time though, so was shocked to receive a huge bill recently for my account which I had obviously neglected to delete. When I contacted customer service they replied the same day and refunded me straight away. I was very surprised and relieved at their quick and super helpful response. I think good customer service is the most important feature of a company, particularly when it comes to money, so I am really impressed.

Codecademy is great!

Codecademy is great. Lots of material to learn, practice and review. I would like to see them add a feature that tracks the problems I miss and automatically cues up additional learning material and questions on that topic.

False advertising and won’t stop contacting me

The website advertised courses as free, so I signed up. It then asked for my payment details.
I did not want to provide these, and it seemed there was no alternative.

This company also keeps emailing me, now they have my contact details. I am clicking on ‘unsubscribe’ each time but it is not working.

Great Site--Need some credits

All is good, however, I do need the 50% discount on the PRO version. I already got charged $179.88 for the Pro-Lite version. For $239.88, I get the Pro Version and with the 50% off, my price will be $119.74, thus saving me like $60.00. Can we make this happen? My site information is design8368090809 my number is 9092276492. Please call or email me to make this happen.

Thank You

Amazing

I’m really enjoying Codecademy’s clear, well-structured lessons and easy to use website. I recently upgraded to Pro Lite, which was definitely worth the cost, with helpful quizzes and projects to consolidate knowledge. My only issue is that the wording of the tasks in lessons and projects often make them too easy. However, overall this is an amazing platform and I would highly recommend it to anyone interested in learning more about programming.

Codecademy

Codecademy is a very good place to learn coding, I looked all over the internet and tried many code-learning websites, for me this is the best place to learn, and they always have a 50 % offer on the pro subcription.

Practical and Educative

Interesting and Educative. Practical and real. The only challenge is the paying with card for the pro sessions which i believe is associated with the banking policy of my country. Please kindly help int his aspect.
