Here's what our users are saying:

"The goal with Lrn isn't to turn you into a hardcore programmer. Instead, it's to get you from a beginner who knows nothing about coding to a more beginner-intermediate level." -Business Insider

"I raced through the set of free tutorials the app begins with and quickly paid $2.99 for the complete course. The lessons are written in an entertaining but unpatronizing tone to guide you through code examples." -The Next Web

"I have been wanting to learn to code via mobile and this is the first solution I have stuck to all the way through. It works offline so I can use during my commute in the subway and is fun. It's an engaging way to learn JavaScript and I would recommend it to anyone who is a business person looking to understand the fundamentals like me." -App Store Review
