“Amazing app. I downloaded it for my little brother. He is 10 and has a fundamental understanding of code now.”

“It made it very easy to grasp the basics of coding. I’d recommend it not only for kids but also for adults who would want to learn the basics. Great App!”

What Users Dislike About the App

“Great Experience? Definitely not. My only regret is being unable to give a zero star review. It was a bad experience.”

“The menu keeps freezing. The game will play but I cannot change the codes, I have to exit the game and start over. Also, the game does not go to the place I left off. I have to find it manually. Tips on how I could improve performance on each level would be appreciated. When I get less than 3 stars, I’d like to know why so I can improve.”

“There is room for improvement, it seems quite clear that this is a work in progress. Having more levels after the logic levels would be fantastic (without jumping directly to the freeroam). I give 3 stars to the game (though if finished, is a definite 5 stars); 1 star for having no ads or in game purchases, and the other stars for being a free app. My near 5 year old daughter loves it, which is a good sign.”

“I installed this app just to try it and it didn’t work properly. It launches the home page but when I select levels (how to, loop, sequence) it doesn’t do anything. My phone is j6+ just in case that information helps the debugging process.”

“It won’t work. I’ve tried installing it multiple times.”
