Swift Playground 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 Playground 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 real frameworks, Swift Playground provides a one of a kind learning experience.

Quite the fun app for learning Swift!
Holio96
Very fun way learning to code, as it is so much vizualisation and detailed steps on how to. The unfortunate thing is that my Macbook Pro (From 2019) overheats when running the app for 5-6 minutes. Really hope this will be fixed in the new update. All though a fantastic app!
Changes to Shapes-playground
Eirik H
The change made in the recent update removed the simplicity of adding and drawing shapes to a more advanced setup. This ruined a lot of me and my students work that we have done for more than 3 years. Please consider bringing back one simple edition of the shapes-playground!
Ignore the bad reviews

This is a very well thought-out app to learn swift, Ive been trying to learn to code multiple times. Nothing has struck this well for me before. I love how it’s all visual, and tells u when u are wrong. AT FIRST IT MIGHT SEEM DAUNTING, BUT DONT GIVE UP. This is an excellent app to learn Coding in general, and specifically Swift!!! —————Deserves higher overall rating, but it’s low because we are in Norway and the few votes have been mixed. i guarantee the rating is higher in USA
2.6 Stars Isnt Fair For This App
SUPERSOULSTAR
The people who been downvoting this app seems to have a lot of personal problems all in all it’s a great App to learn how to code simply with great, and fun visuals, and it runs perfectly smooth for me and bro with one running on M1 Pro, and one on M4 Pro Max (Great Work Apple This Can Help Many To Get Into The Coding)
