Description

Swift Playgrounds makes it fun to learn to code and build real apps. You solve interactive puzzles in the guided “Get Started with Code” and learn the basics of building apps in “Get Started with Apps.” You experiment with a wide range of challenges and samples that let you explore unique coding experiences. Swift Playgrounds doesn’t require any coding experience — it’s perfect for anyone just starting out, from eight to one-hundred-and-eight. The whole time you are learning Swift and SwiftUI, the powerful programming technologies created by Apple and used by professionals around the globe to build many of today’s most popular apps. And because it’s built to take advantage of iPad and the real iOS SDK, Swift Playgrounds provides a one of a kind learning experience. Lessons Built-in • Apple-created lessons guide you through the core concepts of programming by using code to solve puzzles • See your code run in a beautiful, interactive 3D world that you can rotate with a finger and pinch to zoom • Animations introduce each new coding concept at a high-level before you dive into the puzzles • Glossary and built-in help pages give detailed information about available commands, frameworks, and terminology Explore and Create • Interactive coding shows the results of your code instantly, alongside your work • Step through code in playground books to highlight each line as it runs • Books provide a head start to create your own playgrounds that use graphics, sound, and touch • App Gallery walks you through the building blocks of apps, like tabbed navigation and receiving input from device sensors Build Apps on iPad • Create real apps on iPad using SwiftUI • See your code changes reflected live while you type • Type quickly and accurately with inline code suggestions • Extend your app with an ecosystem of Swift packages • Navigate your code with project-wide search Smart Coding Assistance • Touch and hold to grab any command and move it around to change the order of your code • Drag a brace with your finger to wrap a block of code inside a loop or conditional statement • Drag and drop snippets of commonly-used code directly into your playground • Fix common code errors with helpful inline suggestions • Stay organized with automatic code formatting Real Swift, SwiftUI, and iOS Code • Learn the same powerful Swift programming language used by the pros to create apps in the App Store • Build dynamic, elegant apps using SwiftUI, a modern way to create user interfaces • Access iOS frameworks such as SpriteKit for 2D games, SceneKit for 3D graphics, UIKit, and more • Your code has direct control of iPad hardware, including the gyroscope, accelerometer, camera, and touch events Share or Publish • Send your projects to friends and family using Messages, Mail, AirDrop, or other Share Sheet extensions • Bring your app projects to Xcode on Mac and back again • Submit your completed apps to the App Store with App Store Connect

  • Ironically the app is coded terribly

    The first tutorial died in under 5 minutes. The second tutorial downloaded and said it was an invalid format when I tried to open it.
  • Taking up too much memory

    I used it for studying Swift for 2 weeks on my iPad Pro M1, it’s a great app and easy to use and learn. But it will closed during I input the code. Many times I wrote a lot codes then I pressed the test button, it closed immediately and I had to reopen the app and rewrote the code. It’s really frustrating and I hope this can be fixed in the next version.
  • Mac, great. iPad, eh.

    I enjoy this app a lot when I’m using it on my Mac, but unless you have a more sophisticated iPad model, then the app crashes more often than not.
  • SO GLITCHY!!!!!!!!!!!

    I just got this game and it is the glitchiest game I’ve ever played it’s even worse than on road trips in the middle of nowhere!!! It’s so bad that it isn’t even worth a one star rating! It’s the worst!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I HATE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  • Great App for learning

    App is great to learn the sandbox environments, basics of thinking methodically, and logically like a programmer. However, when I write longer code, the app tends to crash without saving all the work. That gets very annoying. Other than that, no other issues so far.
  • Nice

    I can’t go on my playgrounds, but good app.
  • Unsupported File Format

    By WordSmithy84
    Great idea, but simply doesn’t work. The only thing I could launch was the “Get Started with Code” tutorial, any app-based tutorial shows an unsupported file format error and refuses to run. Would love to be able to learn some Swift and develop an app on my iPad but currently this app is unusable.
  • App is very nice for testing basic ideas

    This app is awesome for testing simple ideas and animations in SwiftUI, even for professional developers. The caveat is that it tends to be buggy when showing view previews and it takes too long to get the updated version of Swift! When will it support the newest Swift version and features??
  • This is very nice

    This is a very good game although that it doesn’t show you what lessons you should start with. This is very nice because it’s free and you actually learn to code compared with other free coding games. It first introduces you to code with a little guy called Byte. I also won’t spoil it for anyone so I am stopping there. This is very good and let me remind you that I don’t write reviews often. From - a parent
