Accessibility Comments

This app has its quirks, which I will summarize below. Long story short, I was able to use all features with VoiceOver, both with and without a braille display.
If you are using speech without braille, I recommend setting your punctuation level to Most or All, as punctuation is very important in code.
If you see a dimmed text field in a lesson question, that's a blank you are supposed to fill in. You can do this by clicking on one of the options below the question. The option you select will move into the blank space, and you can check your answer by scrolling back through and rereading the sentence or code snippet.
There are two unlabeled buttons that appear during fill-in-the-blank questions. If the question has multiple blanks in it, the button immediately before the Continue button will reset all of your answers, returning the question to blank. The button before that will only reset the most recently entered answer.
For questions that require you to use the built-in code editor, there can be major trouble with the miniature text field, particularly if you are using a braille display. Plus, it's difficult to find the output if you run your code from the fullscreen view. For these reasons,I recommend clicking "Open in full", making your changes, then closing the fullscreen view, and then clicking "Run".
For questions that ask you to drag lines of code into the correct order, double-tap and hold on a line, then drag your finger up or down to move it in that direction. For example, if I double tap and hold on the second line, then drag it upward, that line will become the first line. If I drag it downward instead, it will become the third line. No verbal feedback is given for this, but on an iPhone, there is a haptic click when a line is moved.
One feature of this app that I found extremely difficult was the Challenges. They are timed contests against other players. Since it generally takes longer for VoiceOver at my preferred rate (65%) to read a question (including the necessary punctuation) and its answers than it would for a sighted person to do the same, I was at a marked disadvantage. As of March 18, 2025, I have so far failed to win any Challenge points. This may not be true for other VoiceOver users, but it is my honest experience. That being said, Challenges are not necessary to progress along your learning path, so I don't consider this a fatal accessibility flaw.

VoiceOver Performance

VoiceOver reads most page elements.

Button Labeling

Most buttons are clearly labeled.

Usability

There are some minor accessibility issues with this app, but they are easy to deal with.

Other Comments

This app is similar to Duolingo, but for coding. It's the best iOS app for learning to code in a variety of languages that I have found so far, and you can do a lot with the free version.

Tell the Dev

Might be worth reaching out to the developer if you haven't already :)
I used this app a while ago and it wasn't very accessible then, so glad it's got better but these quirks being ironed out would make it perfect.

I tried that at one point

I tried reaching out to the developer at one point. Sadly I got no response.

Worth A Shot

I'll send my findings to the dev and see what happens. Maybe nothing will come of it, but if the app accessibility has been improving anyway, there's no harm in trying. As usual, I think the more people who reach out, the more likely it is that these issues will be addressed. If I hear back, I'll post an update here.
