This is by far the best educational app on app store. Beautifully made and with a variety of content. Thank you for making this!

Cool product...Really waiting for such product.
Btw, While learning R language I found a small bug. See the screenshot

@derek_t_lo @srebalaji Just fixed! Find any more bugs and email contact@py-app.com. We're always improving the content.
I couldn't think of a single reason not to - so I DL'd. Looking forward to my MacArther Genius Grant! @derek_t_lo @will_tennien_murphy
@tonybrix It's currently in development, just hold on! :) and like I said above you can add your email to our mailing list here: http://py-app.com
@derek_t_lo @tonybrix Hey Derek! I've downloaded an android version from the UK play store. Version 2.0. Love the idea! Just wondering if this is the final android version as on your website it says android isn't live yet!
@mcgloch @tonybrix @mcgloch Hey this is actually not the the final Android version. Thanks for pointing this out...we've just pulled it from the Google Play Store. That was a beta version of V2. We will be launching our new, spiffy V3 soon! Stay tuned and feel free to put your email on our mailing list at http://py-app.com
Looks cool, just downloading. I struggled to find it using App Store search – it might be worth you using some of that free $100 App Store advertising credit to solve that problem.
@mattaitken Actually I just tried searching on the App Store and it's the first result now.
@derek_t_lo I'm in the UK so bit of a lag with downloads here probably, not boosted the rankings yet :) been doing the Calculus course, really nice!
It's not very easy to search for your product on the App Store. When I searched for Py or Py App, I couldn't find your app. I had to search for Thundr before finding it.
@msbukkuri Hey Maanas yeah this is an issue we're aware of. Thanks for point it out though. We think that as we gain traction searching for 'Py' will show us as the top result for the query. Something similar probably happened to the app 'Yo' that came out a couple years ago.
@msbukkuri Hey try searching for Py on the App Store now. It's the first result :)
@derek_t_lo that's a good point. I was able to find the app by "PY learn" keywords only. could be different in different countries, I guess
Can't wait to try this. Love Daybreak which, I believe, was made by @derek_t_lo ! We corresponded a bit back then. Glad to see you're doing well !
First of all, good luck with your product.
I can't say I'm impressed with the current state of the app because it is missing some key elements you advertise on the store page as of today. It doesn't have the 18+ courses at the moment and it's missing one of the key courses, Algebra, which is a prerequisite for 3 other classes including Astrophysics. I expected it to be in its full glory because that was the key selling point for me.
Also, you should take a look at the HTML/CSS and U.S. History classes. Those include minimum or no interaction at all. You should definitely spice those up so the app offers something different from what I can already find on the Internet.
@sekodev Since you posted, there have been majors changes on that front. You'll now find these courses quite engaging! We're excited to say we expect to release at least three new courses in each category within the coming weeks. We're also learning from usage data how people interact with the courses so you should see major improvements. If there's something you don't see you'd like to, let us know at contact@py-app.com
Great job guys! Just downloaded the app and started the Swift course. It was easy to use and understand. Best of luck!!!
@findabhilash Thanks Abhilash! We are well underway with development of an Android version. You can submit your email to our email list so you'll be notified as soon as it's ready!
Hello, Will :) The best thing about your app is that it's not just about learning to program. Small yet resourceful lessons on mathematics, physics, humanities make your app stand out. The best learning app in App store :) Looking forward to more topics :)
@aravinth_kumaar Hey both Will and I really appreciate your comment. Thanks a ton for trying out Py.
Amazing app, got caught up reading about algorithms. Looking forward for more content on the app 👍
Hey guys, really like the product! Could you tell more about how you guys generate content?
@mert_celebi Thanks for the comment! So far we've created all of our content in-house and have been very lucky to collaborate with some really smart professors, research scientists and software engineers to make our content very engaging, accurate and overall top-notch. In the future, we plan to have a limited set of extremely high-quality courses.
@derek_t_lo wow, this is impressive. you handpick all the content, right? How long have you been working on that?
@aleks_muse @derek_t_lo Quite a while! We've been fortunate to have help from a lot of talented people. A big thank you to everyone we've collaborated with at MIT, Yale, Google, Facebook, and NASA.
Gave this a try last week--pretty shocking amount of content on here. I found myself coming back to the Swift tutorial just to familiarize myself with the syntax, and I finished the course in a bunch of five minute chunks.
I like the simplicity of it. Short cards, each with its own razor-sharp lesson. Easy to jump in for short burst of learning. Good job, guys!
