Swift Playground Positive Reviews

Great Learning Tool with a Major BugThis is actually a very fun learning tool and I am enjoying using it a lot. I am not a developer by trade, but I have been wanting to learn and this is a very nice introduction. There is one major bug with the iPad, however. Intermittently the Playground will stop accepting keyboard input. I tried with the Magic Keyboard and with a bluetooth keyboard with the same result. It doesn’t happen on the macOS version. Outside of that, I have been really enjoying it. And some of the new 3rd Party notebooks like one from Procreate seem really interesting. I am looking forward to getting to build my own app one day soon..MikebrodtVersion: 4.5.1

Wonderfully Motivating!As a previous reviewer mentioned, this app takes the dullness out of learning how to program. Even as an adult, I am able to enjoy this learning process. I was an amateur programmer in high school, so I believe that for me to say this is a wonderful way to learn and/or brush up your basics for programming logic is quite a statement for what the developers have created. The team who created this executed the interface in a very intuitive design; something I find quite uncommon with these "learn to program" apps. I would love to help spread the word about this app so it is not abandoned. Kudos to the Apple team!!! Please keep up the awesome work! Even adults need a more stimulating environment for expanding their skill set. There are a lot of people mentioning device incompatibility and software bugs. I am running this on an iPad Mini 2. The bugs I have encountered are minor and do not interrupt my progress in a truly time consuming way. Typically, the little map won't load, so I will go back to the previous lesson then return and all will load normally..Pat6897Version: 1.5

Great app!I just got this app like yesterday, but so far it’s working great! I haven’t experienced any crashing, and it’s super fun! I was looking for another coding game and swift playgrounds caught my eye. I looked at it and got the app. So much fun! Swift playgrounds is definitely one of a kind! I liked how the main screen was translucent and I could kinda see the Home Screen. I also thought that the way all the playgrounds are in an app format was pretty neat, though I have one question that I had from the app format. When you download a playground, does it take up iCloud space? Other than that question, this app is totally recommended, some levels easy, some hard and the game is so easygoing. I totally recommend, 5/5 ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️.Pingugirl 123Version: 3.4.1

Awesome app for swift codingThis app is helping me learn a LOT about swift. I’m about to get Xcode on my computer so I REALLY need to learn swift and this app is teaching me everything I need to know for Xcode. The only bug I found was that sometimes the app crashed when I wrote a really long function and a visual error where if you find one of those arched holes inside the island (where water usually comes out from) you can see clear out the other side even though the other side appears solid. I know it’s not that big of a bug, but can you please consider fixing it? I’m just paranoid that it will show up somewhere and I won’t be able to get around it. Otherwise, GREAT app..Subnautica555Version: 3.0

There was a problem running page error is always popping upI have an iPad Pro and even when I downloaded the newer version, the character is always yawning and the program is not starting. I keep getting a “There was a problem running this page” on it. It was working fine earlier when the older version was there. I think Apple needs to improve the newer version. The app quits unexpectedly and is the most underrated when it does this. I even notice it on my friend’s MacBook Pro..Dhruva veeramurthyVersion: 4.4.1

Best!! But needs some stuff...I wish that there could be more programming languages and you could use two or more programming languages to use in one playground.I also wish that I could Collab with other people. That is because other people and me have tried to make a project and we wanted to use all diffent kinds of languages. Like.. python. And we wanted to make it together. But we noticed we couldn’t do it. So then we stopped the project and my friends were sad. So, yeah. That’s all for now!.]]]]]]]]]]]]Version: 3.2

Love it!What a beautiful and engaging app - exactly what I've been looking for - and it's free?! These mini-puzzles are an excellent and entertaining way to learn for anyone new to coding. It really adds color to what would otherwise be a pretty bland learning experience. I also personally find it addictive. I've been working on it for several hours straight and can't wait to finish the rest. I really hope that Apple continues to offer this sort of education style. This really helps with getting over the hump. Thank you!!.SP1733Version: 1.5

Easily one of the most enjoyable coding experiences I’ve ever had.Randomly decided I should learn how to develop iOS apps the other night, and ChatGPT suggested trying this app. Am I learning Swift? Probably a little — I do love how the native Boolean has a `toggle()` method. I’m mostly just having a blast devising excessively sophisticated algorithms for solving one-off puzzles with no edge cases. The challenge of not knowing the syntax and full capabilities of Swift has actually been part of the fun..Mr.wong420Version: 4.5.1

My takeSo here I am writing an unsolicited review... I’ve never written a review without being prompted by an app. So I’m in the process of learning. And the student has to be diligent in his/her search of knowledge. So in the path of learning swift I’ve also been search of the best resources. I’ve been on this search for a little bit now and this is an awesome tool for learning swift. Of course it doesn’t suffice the student by itself but its an excellent complement for those that desire to learn..BostshakurVersion: 3.3

Great codes! But flaws........................You know, people like me aka kids are addicted to games but why not try a better app? This game is helpful and it is educational for all ages. But, there is some flaws. Sometimes, it just crashes and then I have to start the page again. I don’t quite remember what I have done, so can you please not do that? Also, sometimes it just puts a red sign 🛑 for no reason. Can you please work on that? I think everybody should use this app..Detective GubVersion: 3.3

Fun Coding ApplicationFirst releases are never perfect; however, this one is pretty good. I have ran into some problems with having to re-open my project to get changes to graphics items and some data structures to update and reflect changes. Sometimes errors cause an occasional crash. Please add find and replace to help with refactoring along with some support for settings bundles. In general I am happy with the application….KeithrdavisVersion: 4.0

Could use more capabilitiesOne thing that is missing is the inability to incorporate some app capabilities that are included with XCode, such as CloudKit, push notifications, etc. It would be nice if there was a graphical interface for working with Core Data. My primary computer is an iPad and it is fun to use it to write an actual iOS / iPad app..Revision29Version: 4.0

Battery drainer, but decent programming intro teaching toolThis app really drains the battery fast. What and how it teaches seems to be pretty decent and someone should be able to learn the basics. However, as others have pointed out, it can be sluggish (even on a newer ipad pro) and the using the keyboard and shortcut bar is tricky and can be frustrating. (I find typing and text editing ios generally frustrating anyway, it seems to presume where you need an insertion point rather than putting it where your finger is.).Nickname requirement fulfilledVersion: 3.0

Some stability issues, but very entertainingTreat this like a game that happens to get you some coding knowledge and practice. It isn't a replacement for reading documentation, but it keeps you engaged and motivated with puzzles of reasonably increasing difficulty and introducing tools gradually. It still lets you use tools that is hasn't taught you, and it encourages creativity by not forcing particular colution paths..TGuyMVersion: 3.4.1

One of the very best apps of ANY KINDSwift Playgrounds is one of the very best apps of all times in ANY category. It's great for kids, too. They think it's a game, but they're learning important programming concepts, not just the Swift language syntax. I especially love that I can do the exercises offline, on a plane. Also, the Swift language interpreter is REAL, which means I can use more advanced concepts even before they're introduced in the lessons..ÆtherScytheVersion: 2.2

So cool, please read!So from an early age I wanted to design my own computer games, and make video games, and this app helped me a LOT. This is so fun, and I use it all the time, and every level gets harder and harder and makes you better and better at coding. Also, the level where you control Botsy is so fun, and love puzzles and strategy games, so this is perfect for me. Amazing overall!!.Polinak🦋Version: 3.4

Better than any other teacher I’ve ever hadThe lessons in Swift playgrounds do an incredible job of teaching one little thing at a time, and ensuring that you remember everything that you need to. For anyone who already knows several languages, or who’s never even used Scratch, this is perfect It’s fun, and beautiful Apple, you’ve created something wonderful.Version: 3.3

OutstandingThis app is fantastic. I’ve been wanting to learn coding, and this app is the best tool I’ve found. It starts at the beginning and makes the concepts easy to understand by using well put metaphors at the introduction to each section. Then it helps you learn it by interacting with the puzzles and coding challenges that are aesthetically pleasing and fun. Huge applause to the developers of this app. Thanks..WolfejeremiahVersion: 2.0

Great appIt’s a wonderfully made app I love it 😍, but whenever I want to click to edit something it deletes something that I don’t want to be deleted. Also please give more vital information on how to use the app properly ( still figuring it out ). I am wanting to create an app, but can’t thought I could use this app. Please kindly add an option to do so. Thanks.Morgan MangusVersion: 2.1

Great place to startThis is an excellent place for people who have little or no experience programming to give it a try. It’s also a great introduction to Swift, no surprise there. My one complaint is that there is no simple way to keep the lessons synced between two devices. I know I can airdrop them between my iPad and desktop macs but that creates a duplicate lesson each time. How hard would it be to simply store the programs in my iCloud account and load them from there?.StubearVersion: 3.3

Great Coding ApplicationThis is by far one of the best tools I have ever used to learn coding. If you ever wanted to learn coding, this is the app for you.  has done an amazing job in making coding easy and simple to learn. People of all ages can benefit from this app. I highly recommend it. Once I started the first lesson, I couldn’t stop. That’s how addicting this app is. Thank you !.Epicwinner1Version: 2.0

Improvements on general useIt needs a couple of typing updates. For example the cursor 😫 I should be able to drag the cursor like I do in most of my iPhone apps, to where ever I want. I have fat fingers on the iPad. So it’s cool I can record a video but why would I if I can’t even drag the cursor correctly 🤔 I think the developers should focus on the more general and simple coding aspects of the app vs making something super fancy. Go back to the basics!.TheoremjVersion: 3.4

One of the most entertaining coding appI downloaded yesterday and I have to admit that this app is my most enjoyable one compare to others app, also it make me addicted to the world of coding. Thank you Apple for creating this app. It such a wonderful app that I can play it anywhere, anytime. A must try for kids and teens who interested in Technology..Cubi PhanVersion: 3.3

Love the new projects feature, but needs macOS Catalyst supportI love the new project feature. It is great as a playground or to easily build something that non-developers in the organization may be able to tinker with. Xcode has a huge learning curve. It just needs a way to build for macOS with Catalyst too..Eric SummersVersion: 4.0

“Else if”I love how this app teaches. I am stuck though, and I have no other way, I’ve seen, to contact this specific developer than rating. So hopefully I get a response. Its the beginners chapter. Its when you start using “Else if.” Its not on my bottom bar to select. I have “if” but not “else” or “else if” I also can’t type it. I am stuck. PLEEEEase help. This would be a 5 star if I could keep going!.TheAlex00Version: 4.1

Local save gets deletedI can’t quite understand why my local project keeps getting deleted and I end up having to find an internet connection to continue working on it. I’m not always near an internet connection. I’ve been unable to work on my project on occasion while off the grid because for some reason my local copy gets deleted..BrainjaxVersion: 3.4.1

As a teacherI have search ways for better approaches to convey coding to children and adults. This is by far the best way. Apple should add functionality to the new lego Inventor. If Apple does that… This will be the primary way to teach robotics from 5th grade to 12th grade and beyond. Please apple hear me on that..IketarragonVersion: 4.1

Good but slowFor anyone who has an old/iPad mini 3/4 I don’t recommend it. It’s super useful to learn, but then it’s really slow. It takes TWO MINUTES for the animation to start. I feel that that really derives the user from what they want to do. So please fix this since I want to learn. For anyone who has an old device, please don’t bother. But overall, a good app and idea. The graphics are great and cute. You learn so much..ZdvxhnbrVersion: 3.4

How to change language?Swift playground is very good app for new developers and children, but on my iPad it's default language is Chinese so I cant even change it to english because I don't understand anything. But the worst is that I cant find a way to setting although I visited a lots of sites and read whole support guide.StefanD6Version: 2.2

Wonderfully done, still buggyIf you are reading these reviews, give the app a chance. It is buggy at times but stunning graphics and a very very solid way to learn swift/SwiftUI. I can only assume it will continue to get bug fixes.FpdinsVersion: 4.1

Font Size, Dark Mode, Please (Xcode for iPad please!)I use my iPad attached to a projector or TV to teach coding. The font size it just too small. I use accessibility to increase font size, but it is just not enough. Magnification is just horrible. Additionally, I would like horizontal scrolling. We also need Xcode on the iPad. It is time..AtatiousVersion: 2.2

App is very nice for testing basic ideasThis app is awesome for testing simple ideas and animations in SwiftUI, even for professional developers. The caveat is that it tends to be buggy when showing view previews and it takes too long to get the updated version of Swift! When will it support the newest Swift version and features??.WaltonbVersion: 4.3.1

Incomplete playground along with annoying crashes on iPad ProIt is ..well good for general, which I do main play with the free playground feature, but the unexpected crashes to the desktop and lacking features in debugging console is hard to believe. Really anticipating full version of the Xcode coming to iPad Pro lines..Sanc MaxVersion: 3.3.1

I give this 4 stars because...I used to use this app a lot in the past, it’s extremely motivating and challenging even as an adult but I’ve downloaded it lately and none of the playgrounds provided seem to be downloading. I’ve deleted and reinstalled the app multiple times, shut off the iPad, etc....NathanV.Version: 2.1

I love it butI’ve been using this for about 2 years and not much has been added I hope apple will see this and please add where you can create your own graphics and be able to place a block anywhere that doesn’t have to be through a puzzle world.DaltonGlasscockVersion: 2.1

Swift PlaygroundsThis Apple Application is a great opening platform to the world of coding for those interested in learning. The true importance of Swift Playgrounds for the future of the iOS operating system can be seen in its democratization of programming and this can only be done if the tools included in this application can make programming accessible and it does..D. HillVersion: 1.6.1

Finely EducatingAlthough the app its self has some bugs it’s a great way to learn the fundamentals of coding and more! I’ve found the app to be very encouraging and helpful. I would appreciate if they could fix the bugs such as the ones that make the app crash. Overall though it’s a great experience..GoldWizard707Version: 2.1

Endless Crashes and Can’t Work with Magic KeyboardNot bad coding learning app but there are too many crashes while using it on iPad. And what’s worse is that after upgrading my iPad Pro to iPadOS 15.1, Swift Playgrounds is unable to work with magic keyboard. I just cannot input words through magic keyboard while using this app..DeconstructedmeVersion: 3.4.1

Pages consistently crashIt doesn’t give me much confidence in the Swift language or cocoa touch in general to see the app from the creators of that language constantly crashing.

I know it was released in 2016 but I can’t find it in the actual playgrounds download page. Please can someone tell me how I can get the 3rd one. P.s if you have any trouble with any level just YouTube it and there are many guides.

FantasticI was looking for a teaching tool for my introductory programming students to use on their iPads. Too many coding apps have jumped on the building-block bandwagon which I personally find frustrating. This app maintains the feel of traditional programming and gives fun challenges to keep kids interested. It won’t be the primary programming tool for my class, but I am sure that it will come in very handy for warm-up exercises to get students on board with the lesson of the day..Meg_v01tsVersion: 3.2

Swift Playground Negative Reviews

Not for DevelopersAs a learning tool, this is a great app to learn the basics of Swift and app development. However, with Apple touting Playgrounds as a way for developers to “…develop iPhone and iPad apps on iPad”, this app leaves a lot to be desired. It can create the most basic of SwiftUI apps, if you try hard enough. But… it’s missing so much to be even a somewhat viable IDE - there’s no CoreData out of the box (you can get it to work, but it’s nasty), no CloudKit, no WidgetKit, and more than half the other capabilities are missing from Playgrounds that exist in core iOS development in Xcode. I want to love this app as a developer, but I can’t. I can only use it to play in a sandbox to test things out. Please either add more Xcode capability or bring a basic version of Xcode to iPadOS for us developers to be able actually make quality apps that have useful capabilities!.BryFosVersion: 4.3

Incredibly demotivating to young codersI wanted to get my daughter started with programming and this was billed as the perfect environment for that. Unfortunately the implementation doesn’t follow through and choices to push newer versions of Swift and runtime environments that iPads can’t handle ruin the experience and turned my children off from technology. How do I explain to my children that the built-in samples are not only unbearably slow on our iPad Pro, that they don’t even run and trying to open them spawns dialog boxes suggesting they’ve done something wrong and need to “start over”? My kids have learned not that programming is fun, but that it’s so hard and broken that even the company that has full stack control of the hardware and software standard can’t get them to work together. If you’re going to create a programming environment for kids, spend less time on creating cute character variations and more building a bulletproof framework that is responsive and predictable with a high degree of reactive experiences. We don’t need the latest version of Swift with all the warts, we need a simple subset of the language that is minimal enough to run properly on any kind of device kids can get their hands on..HeroOfSpielburgVersion: 4.1

Crashes constantlyI am on a brand new iPadPro 2021 with a brand new Magic Keyboard. The Swift Playgrounds app renders both completely unusable. Keyboard input from the Magic Keyboard suddenly is no longer recognized and I have to switch tu the virtual keyboard by unhooking the ipad from the magic keyboard. 9 out of 10 times opening the app the app crashes. Just as often the app can’t open the playgrounds and if -after having to close and reopen the app over and over again- it finally achieves that simple tasks all my progress is gone and I have to start from scratch. Useless as is, needs to be updated and the bugs need fixing. If Apple is able to accomplish that it might become a useful app. Right now it is not. -10 stars until then..Rg21kVersion: 4.0

It’s good but….Every time I go back to use it, there’s an up arrow in the right hand upper corner. I click on that and nothing happens. Sometimes I can open the app and sometimes I can’t. A couple of days ago it asked me to update to version 5.4. When I did, I had to start from scratch! Nothing I had done before was still there! (I skipped through what I had done and continued from there. ) Today, the arrow appeared again and NOTHING happened when I tried to download. I had to delete it. However the only version listed in the App Store is 4. What’s up with that?.MhawksVersion: 4.0

Absolutely horribleI am using this app for an online class, and everything from the way it explains things, to the frustratingly slow typing system, to the completely broken suggestion system, are inexcusably broken and make using this app an absolute chore. I didn’t know how you could mess up programming this badly, but somehow they managed to. 1 out of 5 stars. *Update* They fixed the issue with the text suggestions disappearing after you do anything. However, the somehow managed to make the app now completely unusable, as it now runs at less than 1 frame per second. What is happening. I am baffled this is developed by Apple..BubnowitzVersion: 3.3

App has so much potential but I have to “start over” all the timeThe app certainly is good as it offers a clear and simple explanation of terms and the activities are good to learn, specially if you have no experience. However, I had to “Start over” on every new activity as it appears constantly an error message. Unfortunately, after reaching the second part of the Playground 1 (using functions), the same error message appears but it does not get solved after start over, so it rendered completely unusable that tutorial..Mitch MxCVersion: 4.0.1

Freezes and CrashesWith the most recent update and the 4.0 versions I cannot even begin a playground. The app freezes up when I try to open a playground and then crashes after. I have uninstalled and reinstalled several times with the same outcome. Oh and then I tried to send them a bug report and that isn’t working either currently. When the app worked it was absolutely great as it was a step by step tutorial for coding. Likely better than an “coding for dummies” you will find. Help me out Apple! iOS 11, 12.9” iPad Pro.SklfctVersion: 1.6.1

Amazing, but editing is the worstIt’s the full swift language, plus great graphics libs. If you have to go back and edit things, you might lose your mind. It tries to be “helpful” and select things when you are trying to put the cursor in a particular place. If you want to rewrite a line by adding parentheses here or there, you’ll get a pair, like it or not, and when you go to select the closing one, it’ll get rid of the pair. Just placing the cursor where you want it is hard because the slightest twitch and it on the next line, or up one, or it’s selected a whole expression. And you can’t see the cursor under your finger, nor can you use the keyboard as a trackpad. Why can’t I use the keyboard as a trackpad??? Everything else can, Apple..HacksawSAVersion: 3.4.1

Frustrating as a voice over user.I use to be able to practice coding with this app. However, after a few months of not practicing, I started again only to find that when I move my finger around the screen, everything is announced, except the grid. I get the beginning explanation for the grid, but can’t navigate around the grid like I use to be able to. I’ve tried every combination of gesture I can think of, but voiceover won’t focus on the grid..CannonballdenverVersion: 3.4.1

Dumb.Honestly this app is dumb. I go to it because it has a decent rating, and I want to start learning code. So I download the first course, and start going along.. but then it won’t let me write repetitive code, so I go back, copy the code, and paste it in the current ‘level’ it says something along the lines of ‘code is wrong’ I checked all the code, and there was nothing wrong, all brackets were fine, no misspelling. All fine, yet it wouldn’t let me run the code. Like, how can you not run YOUR OWN CODE? (DO NOT RECOMMEND!!).YrdqbVersion: 4.4.1

It could be so much moreThis app is a tease. It’s gives you an idea of what you could do if they gave you real software with real modern IDE capabilities and didn’t cripple you. For the love of all that is holy, just give us a real IDE, which handles various languages, and stop crippling designers and developers. If you let us build it, they will come, and then you would have even more market share..NMECODESVersion: 4.2.1

To other developers:This app is VERY far from providing a feature complete IDE experience. You’ll immediately miss the following: - auto formatting - multi line cursors - good file management - clear ui - lack of auto appearing (hover) documentation I appreciate the effort Apple, but this is lacking. If you want me to develop for your platform, please improve the experience. If you want to be productive, it would be better to buy a MacBook and use Xcode..Goldwin7Version: 4.0.1

WHY!?YOU DID A NEW UPDATE AND YOU DID NOT FIX THE BUGS!? Apple, next time make the app BETTER not worse! I cannot run my code and I cannot move on to the others because I can’t pass!! PATHETIC.Big_HeadVersion: 4.0

Useless to learn and useless to make appWhy is this exist? Just bring a simpler version of XCode to iPad. To make apps for iPad, you need an expensive mac. I don’t want a desktop computer..TheRealShaddamIVVersion: 3.4.1

Tf is this?This app keeps crashing! I’m a Grade 7 student and my teacher want us to use this for coding. It keeps glitching it has a freaking bug! Do not download it’s not worth it.Alisha_7420Version: 3.4.1

Keep crashingI tried to use Swift Playgrounds for 3 years in my classroom. Every year, the same problems: crash, very slow to load, you need to download the whole lesson when you don’t use it for a week... Very frustrating. When it works, it’s a beautiful app. However, I think Apple put too much work on the animations and not enough time on correcting the bug. What about something not too fancy but very efficient like Grasshopper?.ProfNicVersion: 3.4

Good app but needs lots of workSwift Playground is a good idea, and is one of if not, the only app of its kind out there. It teaches coding in a fun way that is a challenge for all ages, while I definitely retain almost all of the information it provides, in my mind. However the Swift Playground very buggy even on my iPad which was new 6 months ago, and it can also be very slow to react to my code and even mess it up when it is completely correct. If these changes were made and problems fixed, I would be glad to give it 5 Stars..Lex Luthor1015Version: 3.4

Why?I was kinda exited to learn to code, NOPE! What can you expect don’t work too good to be true..SpycakesVersion: 3.3.1

It’s a game to learn coding.but with the amount of bugs That this game has it dosent seem do its job vary well because to teach coding you have to be good at coding.No afece thoVersion: 3.3.1

I would give it zero stars if I could.This app sucks. The only reason I still have it is for school. You can’t do a single level without having the game delete everything you’ve done. If you’re a teacher, stick with scratch or simply java learner..🅱️🅾️ℹ️ ☑️Version: 3.3

Very DissapointedIt has some good features. Namely, it has a variety of lessons that build on each other in a coherent way, and the lessons are both challenging and engaging. However the app itself is buggy as all hell, to the point that the apps bugs mess up your own code. I’m almost finished ‘Learn To Code 1’ and have come across 4 or 5 challenges now where the game simply does not run the code I have written. An algorithm in one level does a certain string of functions in a certain way, and when you use it in another level it doesn’t. For example the command “if blocked on the right, move forward. If not blocked on the right, turn right.” Means that if you cannot turn right, you should go forward until you can. And in one level that is exactly what it does. In the following level, however? You spin on the spot endlessly..Cody ZVersion: 3.3

Worst app everAlways has bugs and always has a bad connexion and I always have to restart. I recommend you not downloading this app. If there was an option to have 0 stars i would put that. It’s also not fun..NaaddrozVersion: 3.3

Worst app everIt keeps reloading and won’t let me get past the first stage.Gina200426Version: 3.3

Ok | Reset :(I clicked on reset.Y do u do thatVersion: 3.2

It crashesIt crashes every time it’s so bad and it doesn’t let you write the code this is the stupidest thing I’ve ever seen it would be a good app if it didn’t have this much crashes!.LinusTexgVersion: 3.2

Not worth it. Total garbage!Crashes, crashes, crashes,....BrianbrainBB2Version: 3.2

Bad applicationToo much time and a lot of bug..Hòlà Missa PabloVersion: 3.2

Slow AFSo Bloody Slow!! Renders the game impossible to play or use.Andy redstoneVersion: 3.1
