This course is not updated. While Xcode now is already version 9 in 2018, it is still using Xcode 7.While Swift is already 4 in 2018, it is still using Swift 2.It is very sad that in the course material it keeps saying "we are aware Xcode is already version 8, please stick with Xcode 7 for now. Xcode 8 will break our code".It is sadder to know the knowledge we learn in this course doesn't apply to modern technology.One more thing, the course forum is poorly maintained. Many people are asking questions while no one is really answering.

The course is not updated - the version of Xcode cannot be higher than 7.3.1, but this version is not compatible with latest macOS Mojave.In my opinion this course should be updated or removed from the list of paid specialization.

Excellent course but allow ample time for the assignment as it is quite challenging, or at least it was for me. I am looking forward to doing the next module.

I enjoyed how concise the videos were, there was a lot of information per unit of time, and it was challenging, but not too much so.

challenging but a very nice follow up to the previous course

This course is the very basics of interface building in iOS, requires lots of self-study as the lectures do not dig deep enough and prior knowledge of Swift.
