In just one lesson, we've got a working skeleton - great, I love it. Absolutely, it has simple and cleverly designed content.

The code is obsolete (in the dependencies) and the code is not explained.

This course is outdated, update it according to latest version of Android Studio to get 5 star rating

Great! Explains everything in detail! Also, one thing I would like to see is handling errors from the console and gradle. I got an error I dont know how to fix from my database connection.

Explanation is quite clear, but it's going through demonstration very fast. You are not really learning much going through the code as the demonstration is a WHAT he's doing rather than a WHY he's doing it. To get the most from this you would be better off just downloading the code and tinkering with it yourself - if you do this you will need to go through the firebase section as you will need to connect the App to your OWN firebase connection for Authentication and database.

My biggest issue is the low video quality. 720p is insufficient as it is very blurry. The videos should be in 1080p. The author shows a lot of content, but not a lot of depth as the explanations were lacking. I think the author should provide a deeper explanation of what he is doing. Otherwise, it is "we put this thing here and then update this other thing". In some areas, I experienced errors which the author didn't catch or address. While my having to fix the bugs the author didn't catch helps me be a good developer in the long run, the course as is, is out of date (see my Q&A). Overall, I felt like a developed something, but did not necessarily understand how it worked or why it worked. I still have to go back and figure all that out myself.
