Flutter & Dart - The Complete Guide (Udemy.com)

A Complete Guide to the Flutter SDK & Flutter Framework for building native iOS and Android apps

Created by: Academind by Maximilian Schwarzmüller

Last updated March 2026

Our take

Based on the ratings of 91,778 students and a sample of their written reviews, the syllabus, the course as of March 2026. No course pays to be reviewed.

Maximilian Schwarzmüller's Flutter course is the bestselling one on Udemy, with about 378,000 students and 92,000 reviews averaging 4.6. It runs 30 hours across 310 lectures and builds eight small apps, from a dice roller and a quiz up to a shopping list with a backend, a places app that uses the camera, and a chat app with push notifications on Firebase. The requirements say it starts at zero, and technically it does, but the reviews suggest it suits people who already know a little programming and want a broad tour of the framework rather than a gentle first course.

Students praise the clarity and the sheer coverage. Reviewers say the explanations are easy to follow, that later sections reuse what came before so it sticks, and that the course shows off a wide range of widgets. The complaints are consistent too. Several lower-star reviews say the course builds something and then rewrites it, jumping between files and approaches, which confuses newcomers. Others find the pace fast, want more comments in the code, and note a few spots where the syntax has since been deprecated. One reviewer flagged lectures that need a paid plan and a credit card, and missed a lecture on deployment.

The course was refreshed in March 2026, so it is current even if the odd line of code lags behind. There is only one quiz and one assignment, and one low-star review complains that the instructor never tests students, so anyone who learns by being quizzed may want a different course. For a patient learner who wants breadth, though, this is the safe pick. Only about 2 percent of ratings are one or two stars, and the good ones describe a teacher who covers almost every topic.

Best forPeople with a little programming behind them who want one long, project-based tour of Flutter, from widgets to Firebase.
Skip it ifYou have never coded before and want a slow, tested path, or you already know Flutter and need advanced architecture.

Pros

  • Eight demo apps, from a dice roller to a Firebase chat app with push notifications
  • Refreshed in March 2026, with 27 caption tracks
  • Reviewers say later sections reuse earlier patterns, so concepts stick
  • Covers HTTP backends, camera, maps, auth and image upload, not just UI

Cons

  • Builds code and then rewrites it across files, which several beginners found confusing
  • Only one quiz and one assignment in 310 lectures, and no deployment lecture
  • Some lectures need paid plans and a credit card, and a few code snippets are now deprecated
Herr Schwarzmüller is definitely an excellent teacher. What I like most is how well the course showcases the capabilities of Flutter and the wide range of widgets it offers.

Its been awesome , although nothing beats face to face learning and there are sometimes you will have to watch a session multiple times in other to understand , Me currently am just going along with the flow grabbing what i can , but i type as his typing , although i am beginning to think will it be better to listen then type ?... Anyways the course is very good

By Nafeez Quraishi on 6/14/2026

With a little more than 50% of the course completed, I can confidently say that this is a very well-designed course. Herr Schwarzmüller is definitely an excellent teacher. What I like most is how well the course showcases the capabilities of Flutter and the wide range of widgets it offers. The lessons are easy to follow, although there are times when the course jumps straight into the implementation without providing much background on why a particular approach is being used. More explanation would certainly help, but it would also make an already long course even longer. At over 30 hours, this is not an easy course to complete, especially given the level of detail it covers. However, I'm confident that the time and effort invested will be well worth it if I see it through to the end.

By Shyilesh Venkatesan on 3/18/2026

This course was defenitely worth the price, it had so many features I got to learn from the ground, I was unsure if I would be able to follow through, but the instructor really explains in remarkably simple terms! The course is really helpful to get many foundations strong, you may use google or any other reference(like gemini, chatgpt etc) to help solve your doubts and learn more deeper. Once you complete this course, you surely develop so much more confidence and you get a lot of learnings! Don't hesitate if you are a beginner, this course will surely help boost your confidence!

By Abdelhameed Al Asadee on 3/6/2026

This Flutter course was very helpful and easy to follow. The concepts were explained clearly, and the practical examples made it easier to understand how to build real applications. I especially liked how the course covered both basic and more advanced topics. It’s a great course for anyone who wants to start learning Flutter or improve their development skills. Thanks!

By Gergely Lados on 3/4/2026

I like the way of learning through practice. I think there were some unnecessary repetition through the course but I'm not a teacher or a psychologist so it might be required. Although flutter and dart was completely unknown to me, I'm familiar with scripting, procedural and object oriented languages so not everything was new to me in this course. It gave me a good basics to start app development and will allow me to make my ideas comes true. Thanks

By Willie Venter on 3/3/2026

What is good is that the examples work, but the course must be updated to the latest version of flutter because some of the instructions in the examples are no longer applicable. The presenter is also losing his audience because a lot of information is dumped without ensuring that the audience is understanding what he is doing. What about some quizzes during the course to make sure that audience test themselves and understands what is going on?

By François GALLET on 2/24/2026

A ce stade (point 162 du cours), c'est l'un des meilleurs cours que j'ai suivi et sur Flutter, tout y est et l'émulateur (Window) fonctionne parfaitement. De plus, la pédagogie et le contenu sont de très haut niveau, tout en étant parfaitement compréhensible pour un développeur, même sans grande expérience. BRAVISSIMO !!!

By Octavian Balan on 2/23/2026

I started this course as a complete beginner and have already managed to launch two successful applications! Maximilian’s teaching style is incredibly logical—the way he explains concepts makes so much sense that if you don't understand it here, programming might just not be for you. I absolutely love how he makes everything feel easy, often turning complex, 'hard' topics into something much simpler than they first appear. Truly a top-tier instructor!

By Niels van Dijk on 2/21/2026

The course covers an incredible amount of Flutter capabilities, it was a great resource for learning Flutter. Only disappointment was that the last section (chat app) doesn't seem fully up to date, I spent a long time debugging Android and iOS errors because of outdated deployment targets that weren't covered in the course, and for the push notifications I couldn't follow along without a paid Apple developer profile.

By Shivansh Sondhi on 2/4/2026

It's a really good course but just a couple of suggestions, there should be a bit more info about the widgets being used and how exactly they work and their alternatives it is present in a lot of places but it can be added in a few more places. Another thing is if we could get a wireframe of the app we're developing in the section that would be great!
