I think that learning to program by using someone's android app is not the best way to learn programming, I once learnt java using an app, only to later find that the person copied the tutorials from some pdf and pasted it in his app.
The tutorial was in java6, an outdated version of the language, while at the time , java8 was already released.
After studying other programming tutorial apps on the appstore, I realised almost all of them suffered from the same disease.
What do think guys, have you observed something similar, or opposite?

I don't know where are you learn this from. I guess it's not really moderated.
Learning programming using the app is not really good approach. App has ton of mechanic under the hood and some mechanic need to be used before it's properly introduced like inheritance. However, it would teach real world example faster.
If someone is absolute begnner, learning console based program would be better as it remove unnecessary distraction and overwhelming unknown keywords.
I agree with you
