Sololearn suits beginners who want to code in short sessions on a phone. Its US App Store listing describes interactive lessons and hands-on practice in over 20 programming languages, including Python, JavaScript, SQL, Java and C#, with 4 career tracks and 20+ full courses. Practice starts from lesson one with coding games, challenges and a mobile code editor, and Kodie, the in-app AI teacher, answers questions when you are stuck. The community lets you share code and get feedback. You can start for free, but full access requires PRO, which renews weekly, monthly or yearly; the App Store lists SoloLearn PRO Monthly at $6.99, with other listed tiers up to $12.99 a month. The app holds a 4.8 rating from 82K ratings and an Editors' Choice award. The main limit is depth: bite-sized lessons build habits but bigger projects need another tool. We compared documented features and published prices; we did not take the courses.
