Good, but not great...

I feel like Ive learned better through other methods. This is for two reasons: (1) I dont find the attempts at wittiness/humor in the Lrn app to be entertaining or productive, theyre more distracting and campy than anything else, (2) selecting answers rather than typing them in doesnt involve as much egagement in the activity and resulted in my not remembering the code as well. Its a decent app for doing things on-the-go, but not something Id use as my primary learning resource. Given my experience learning programming in classrooms, online through courses, online through articles, through apps, and interactive websites, this Lrn app strikes me as informative entertainment. It is informative, but it feels more like entertainment, because I just dont feel like Ive absorbed as much. I wish there were a mode to enter things manually at every step, and something to turn off those campy comments...but then again, that would sort of turn this into another app...
