So far pretty clear and easy to understand, nice and complete example applying all the concepts learn
By Sergei Kolinichenko on 9/14/2023
Firstly, the course is severely outdated, and the example provided in the first part of the course doesn't work at all. Secondly, I expected more from the course specifically on Retrofit because in Andrei Sumin's Kotlin courses, there is not significantly less information about this library. Overall, I am disappointed with the course.

This is a match for me, I am getting to understand the retrofit service and excited for the coming videos

Before going for this course i highly recommend to check "coding in flows" retrofit tutorial playlist on youTube. You will get the best value out of it.
By Christopher Annunziato on 9/21/2022
Exactly what I needed to get my application working. Everything is up to date and works. I recreated the project entirely to learn more. Super happy with this.

This is a great and recommended course for those who want to learn about Retrofit, but it might be better if the material was more varied. For example on the use of RxJava, there are also examples of Flowable types, not only Single types (just a suggestion).

The course was very practice and concise, good to practice networking with current uses technologys, a great job. Greetings from Argentina

Como todos os Cursos do Mestre, excelente. Capricho nos exemplos, na didática e no cuidado com a apresentação do conteúdo. Infelizmente o Mestre, embora peça para entrar em contato para melhoras e pontos de dúvidas, não responde a nenhum contato.

Nicely explained Retrofit principles at the very beginning of the course. Later on, it looks like an author doesn't have the patience to explain some crucial things inside the project. Also in the comments, there are a lot of unanswered questions. From my point of view, it's better to focus on quality instead of quantity. Also, I have to say it's a bit sad because within the project for example for authentication, token and everything is just mentioned as a base concept without paying attention to refreshing and everything else what could be the use case for token. Overall it's a good course, gives basic knowledge and overview for Retrofit and how to start using it. Thanks.

The explanations are clear, the examples so far are good. I particularly got this course to learn how to implement an oauth2 authentication token call, and have not come across that yet but overall my knowledge of how to structure general api calls with retrofit has already increased a fair amount.
