People in the IT and software industries

Whether it be website creation or website management, game development or system development, when using a computer to work as a team or work with clients, a broad knowledge of programming and information security is essential.
With “Algorithms: Explained and Animated”, you can firmly strengthen that fundamental knowledge.

People interested in programming and information technology

While there are many technical books on programming and the internet, their simple drawings and long explanations don’t facilitate learning as much as they do boredom. With “Algorithms: Explained and Animated”, anything from complex data structures like “hash tables” and “heaps” to information security topics like the “public-key cryptosystem” and “digital certificates” can be easily understood with animations.

Experienced programmers and engineers

When using standard methods like libraries, the more basic the concept, the more impenetrable it can seem. You might also find yourself struggling to explain concepts to a less-experienced colleague. For times like those, use “Algorithms: Explained and Animated” to keep your skills from getting rusty.

Algorithms user reviews :

Playful and intuitive introduction to the algorithms. BUT, I really miss the big O notation for the algorithms. Also an explanation why they have this run time or space requirement would be perfekt. The second thing I miss, is an deeper explanation of best and worst case scenarios of the algorithms. If these features are included I would consider to pay for the (interesting) premium algorithms.

Great app if you dont know much about the different kinds of algorithms. Some algorithm explanations are locked behind a pay wall but I totally get it. It’s way better this way than having stupid ads clutter up the app and just because there’s some paid stuff don’t look away! There’s plenty of free stuff on here too. I discovered lots from this app in a matter of like 30 minutes. One issue: The buttons at the bottom are too low so you only see top half. I’m not sure if it’s my device or the app

As a software developer without a computer science degree, I found the app extremely interesting. The animations and clear step by step explanations are a great modern teaching method. Occasionally you may need to supplement with a Wikipedia or StackOverflow search to deepen your understanding, but this doesn’t detract from an excellent app. I very quickly purchased the full content, but I think even the free content will keep you “amused” for hours.

Impressed with the simple animations I made the purchase to unlock all algorithms. Thanks for the app, hope more things get added soon. Example: explaining leetcode/hackerrank problems based on these algorithms. Medium/Hard level problems can be explained under a new section of the app. Also, explaining Big O complexities can be a new section in the app. Cover all things Algorithms and I’ll recommend it to all my friends in no time

It provides simple and useful animated explanations of some major topics. The emphasis is definitely on high level understanding of the concepts and explanations often stop before you feel like you’ve fully explored a topic. However for what it is I really like it and will keep it on my phone as a handy reference!

Great app and well explained. If your into programming it is a must for your education and a very cheap way to learn. Try the free version and all the animations. The developers have made a lot free with a lot of effort, so big thank you to them. If your into writing code pay for the extra algorithms. I am considering buying even in my retirement… Never could understand quicksort!!
