I tried programming Hub a couple of months ago on my phone and even though it certainly provides some useful pieces of information there were a lot of issues, namely: - lots and lots of grammatical mistakes (for an educational app with a paid tier I find it pretty unacceptable to not get the text proof read by a professional before releasing it) - a lot of unwanted (in my opinion) attempts to be funny that do not help with the learning process, and only make the lessons longer for no reason. One "joke" I still remember went like this "HTML is easy to understand (unlike your girlfriend)". Truthfully, that's an unnecessary comment which isn't even funny IMO. It also assumes that all the users are male, straight and have or have had a girlfriend. It kind of pissed me off to be honest :)

@anna_0x I would kindly request you to check the updated version of the app now... - Rest assured all the grammatical mistakes have now been corrected in 2.0. - The girlfriend reference had also been removed immediately(about a month back) since we received feedback on that reference and we take user feedback very seriously. Thanks for your feedback :) This helps us improve and we won't let you down 👍

@anna_0x @killercrosser Errors and bugs are a part of every app, but what is really important is that the team behind the app should be responsive to user feedback and should promptly resolve the errors. @anna_0x I empathize with the makers of the app considering the fact that they are working on a lot of learning content which is updated regularly. I hope you give them another chance. Have been a user of the app for about a month now and I absolutely love the interface and the content. Good luck guys :)

@anna_0x @marky_nolan @killercrosser I just signed up today, and found the same issues Anna did with bad grammar. They have *not* been fixed. So, the team has not been responding to feedback as thoroughly as implied. Anna and I can't be the only ones who have seen this. Maybe all this fanfare is for the iOS version and the Android one was left behind?

@killercrosser @irishpolyglot I am also on Android but assumed that the content would be the same... @marky_nolan we're not talking about small mistakes or typos here. We are talking about broken English everywhere. I understand that the developers are probably not native English speakers and of this was a 100% free app I would also understand not being able to justify spending money to hire proofreaders. But, the app charges money and with that in mind, I think it makes sense to get the errors corrected by professionals. I have not tried version 2 of the app (perhaps will do in the future) but @irishpolyglot has and says that the issues are still there. PS: glad you removed the girlfriend joke

I signed up based on the positive reviews here, and in just 5 minutes, I've seen multiple distracting English grammar mistakes, an incomplete Python 3 (really??) course, and one of the prompts after a question was referring to a previous question. 😣 This definitely felt more like a sloppy beta to me. Normally, if I know I want to use something and I see so many positive comments on Product Hunt, I go ahead and get the full access paid version without fully investigating the free version first. I regret doing that this time. Maybe all the positive comments are about the previous version, or the iOS version, but I'm definitely left disappointed here.

@irishpolyglot it's unfortunate to know we couldn't deliver the kind of experience you expected from us. - We are left curious to know the course name and topic where you found grammatical errors. Courses are rapidly being improved by the community themselves when they report slightest of errors in the course(grammatical or otherwise). Your feedback and suggestions will help us improve and meet your expectations. Rest assured your feedback will be taken seriously and acted upon. - Kindly write to us at hello@programminghub.io with your suggestions and improvement areas. This will help us deliver and fulfill your expectations better. Rest assured we want to give you the best, nothing less! Thanks for your feedback, expecting your support ❤️ 🙂

@killercrosser Thank you for approving my Google Play refund as quickly as it was. I tried to use both Python 3.0 and (reluctantly, since 3.0 wasn't even a course yet) Python 2.0 and found the issues I mentioned in the course of Python 2.0 *at the very start*. I had barely made it through the introductory history of Python and saw too many mistakes to have the patience to move forward any more. Please let Timir know that I don't appreciate being contacted on my personal Facebook profile about this. I understand the need for detailed outlines of all specific issues from me, but you really don't need my help in particular with this because, my startup expertise is not why I was put off by the course, but my expectations in paid English products (as with Anna, in another comment) was. Timir wrote that you "outsourced the proofreading to US natives, twice" - unfortunately, whoever you hired must have been cheap and rushed, and you'll have to hire someone else. Unfortunately, I can't help with that, but I would recommend you get a refund for the two times you've hired those proofreaders, and invest more time to research and money into whoever is hired next. All I can say from my own experience in proofreading and with language issues is that context matters, so even if your proofreaders truly were native English speakers, you need someone to actually go through the app usage itself and scrutinize the text. I'd suggest working more closely with the next proofreader instead of simply outsourcing to whoever may be most convenient.

@irishpolyglot I apologise on behalf of Timir to have contacted you on FB without your prior permission. Curiosity got the better of him. The same has been warned to him as a strict no no for anyone. Regarding English issues with the content, I am now personally reviewing each and every topic along with the content expert. Will make sure everything is pitch perfect by end of the week. No compromises on that front will be made henceforth. Thank you once again Benny. This surely helped us address the slack and get things leveled up on Android. Cheers!

@irishpolyglot The point of this amazing community is that Product Makers launch their product in front of the early users for feedback and then work on improving based on the feedback. I can already see that the team is paying utmost attention to your feedback and working towards improving the product. A better reason to be happy than disappointed 😄

@marky_nolan I am just absolutely boggled that something that gave as poor a first impression as what I got, was the #3 most upvoted product of the day yesterday. If the iOS version is what's deserving of all the votes, then I'd suggest the Android link be removed from this page. I've seen other apps only link to their iOS version when they have a crucial update, even if they also have an Android version (that isn't currently getting updated). What I used was far from ready. And it's a bit of a stretch to call a version 2.0 and such established app (a million downloads according to the Google Play store) something that's launching to "early users for feedback". I'm truly confused as to how it's been downloaded and upvoted so much based on what I saw. The UI was nice, but the content is not ready, especially for a paid app. The high reviews on Google Play and here are quite suspect. @killercrosser I believe you that you will try your best to improve the content to fix the English mistakes. What about the Python 3.0 course though? The app just gave a message to me that good things take time or something, to make an excuse for it not being ready. I tried one other course other than Python 2.0 and it was also not ready. This wasn't made clear before starting the courses, so I'd highly suggest you remove them from the main list, so people aren't misled.

Thrilled to hunt this new programming Hub app that is completely revamped from its previous version. The new version is revamped with a brand new user interface, better arrangement of course, more fun and interactive course content. With this update, you also get a globally verified e-certificate on completion of a programming language course.
