It's not worth it

Beware. They added fraudulent transactions

Beware. Fraudulent charges

The lessons are fine but they will make fraudulent charges to your account and not respond to attempts to contact them. Unfortunately I would avoid at all costs.

Company will not cancel subscription and has been impossible to get a hold of. I cancelled in April of 2023 and see that they have been charging my account even after I canceled. Fraudulent company with zero customer support. Save yourself money and the hassle, stay away.

Platform is a poorly designed mess, instructors spend entirely too much time talking and making analogies. You can’t just talk at length about the abstract parts of programming and hope to bridge the gap with pictures and stories about filing cabinets. You need realtime visual feedback to help teach a 9 year old. Courses inspire frustration, confusion, and tears. Will bore your child to tears if they’re not willing to stick around and suffer through the videos and buggy platform. Also, the code created by their native app for starting up Minecraft modding does not match what’s displayed in the videos. The course was $100, on sale for $60. It’s not worth more than a couple dollars.

Support is very slow. Communication is appalling. Customer service non existent. I signed up because my son really loves Minecraft and was interested in trying out some modding. I specifically contacted them in advance to inquire as to whether any particular computer specifications were needed to be able to use codakid.com. i was told that if the computer could run Windows 10 or 11 then it would be fine. What they failed to explain is that for applications such as Minecraft or ROBLOX or other there are specific requirements needed and it turned out that none of the computers that I own have those requirements. They were not interested at all in seeking resolution or apologizing for their lack of communication and misinformation. I would not recommend this website to anyone, steer clear.

Support does not exist. No solutions are provided to the quizzes. We are stuck on the Python Robohacker level 4-9 How is one supposed to learn when there is no guidance as to what "good" looks like? I DO NOT recommend Codakid at all.
