## Review summary

User reviews consistently praise the content quality, practical courses, strong teaching team, and the app’s attractive UI. However, many reviews report persistent iOS app bugs (login issues, broken search, favorites sync, orientation crashes) and delays in updating courses, with some content feeling outdated. Navigation and course discovery are also criticized for lacking filters or clear progress tracking. Overall, Design+Code is valued for its material, but mobile reliability and UX improvements are needed to unlock its full potential.

### Pros

- High-quality, practical course content that helps you learn design and iOS development.
- Visually appealing UI/UX and polished app design.
- Strong teaching team and engaging methodology.
- Content is up-to-date and applicable to real-world projects.

### Cons

- Frequent bugs and instability in the iOS app, including login/auth issues, broken search, favorites syncing, and orientation/video playback crashes.
- Content is often outdated or not updated in a timely manner (latest courses not appearing, outdated SwiftUI/Swift 5 claims).
- Poor navigation and course discovery (hard to find courses, no filters, and lack of progress tracking).
