He skips a lot of steps

By Mark Tanser on 11/14/2020

too out of date... impossible to proceed using the sample code.. no updates and no-one helping answer questions

By Instart App on 10/24/2020

Muy buena explicacin y nos explica las mejor forma para optimizar nuestra aplicacin.

Molto interessante e spiegato davvero molto bene

By Felipe Contreras on 10/14/2020

Awesome course, it was a bit difficult to keep up, but i really went to 0 knowledge of flutter to pull this off, this is a really good intermediate course, once that you start to understand the flutter dynamic is fire!, is refreshing to see practical courses and not if-whiles theory that eats half of the course

good

By Chinni Potakamuri on 10/10/2020

There are lot of errors while navigating through the course which I had to rectify on my own. This is possibly happening because of the version changes I think. Setting up the downloaded project and firebase integration are the most painful and because they are the starting things most of the takers might be dropping the course. To keep the course relevant in the near future the instructor will have to replace the project with recent versions and rework on firebase integration videos. Questions forum isn't great either.

Course construction is o.k. But the material is outdated. Web pages are different, apps are not running on the recent versions of flutter and vs code.

By Trishen Ramjass on 10/1/2020

In short, i don't think this course is worth getting.
The description of this course is accurate to what you are getting into, because in my opinion, it is best to have some flutter knowledge before hand. I never knew how to code flutter before this course, but i do however have knowledge about other coding languages and how to code, and this did help me.
This course is mainly aimed at people coding on Mac OS for iOS, so if you're like me, coding on Windows for Android, you are definitely going to run into some errors that are going to be difficult to solve, because Reed does not explain what to do if we get certain errors and if he does, its only for students using Mac OS. Going through this course was extremely annoying, because every time we had to set up a new thing, i would run into errors that would take me hours to solve, because i have to find solutions on the web.
This brings me to my second point. There is no response from Reed when questions are asked. Myself and several other students, from what i saw in the Q&A section, has asked so my questions and majority of them have no responses from Reed himself. There are some questions that are answered by other students, but you have to be lucky for another student to actually see your questions.
My third point is that this course is outdated and it seems like no effort was put into updating this course. Which is extremely difficult and annoying to deal with, because with newer versions of things we have to use in this course, there are certain lines of code that have incorrect values. The node version used in this course is also Deprecated, which means that you may have to opt in for paying for the database services.
The reason why i am not giving this course a 1 star rating is because, it did help me create the application as intended, even though took way more time than expected, because of all this problems i was experiencing. I do not recommend this course to anyone (especially beginners), even if your are using Mac OS.
