Mimo review: price, free version and privacy

Our verdict

Mimo is a strong first coding app for beginners who want to type real code and follow a clear path. Skip it if you need a fully free app, run an iPhone older than iOS 18, or want to avoid tracking.

What Mimo is

Mimo teaches Python, JavaScript, HTML, CSS and SQL through guided paths in front-end, full-stack, Python and backend development, with a newer focus on building software with AI tools. The listing says you can write, run and edit Python, JavaScript and HTML in the app's mobile editor, build portfolio projects and earn certificates, with streaks and leaderboards for motivation.

Who it suits

• Available in 10 app languages.

Limits
