Looks interesting but sound is not working. With "play until done" setting it just hangs, with "continue" no sound is played.

A truly delightful and powerful creative tool for making animations, games, and expressions. It doesn't just spark imagination, it is a fireworks of imagination!

this one is good you can make any kind of game or any kind of animation but I would request that there are many ads if you open it

This is a great and simple app to use! But sometimes it gets a little laggy and slow. I also wish there were more sprites and backgrounds to choose from, and more blocks.

I finally managed to fix the bug. I just reinstalled the app and it works! Nice app I just recently made a clicker game and I was surprised how easy it was! This is an amazing app. There is just 1 problem. It lags on low end devices so it's kinda hard to make stuff. Nice though

I know basic loophole for this, and I'd suggest this for newbies. I find this easier to use than Pocket Code due to the preview, althou it was laggy. I wish you can import custom sound also

Its a good game engine...only for kids tho, I think it needs more complicated blocks for bigger projects but overall pretty solid, it also has a good variable system you can even make a turn-based game if you want to ( i tried ), Please keep updating the game there is no other game engine out there that could replicate Scratch this much.

it's by the same creators of scratch but is still MUCH worse there are barely any blocks to work off of and the sprite maker is also very bad lacking features from scratch

It has everything you can wish for! There are two problems however, I wish you could save sprites and use them in other projects. Same with sounds. Overall, it is AMAZING!!! It's quite easy to understand and the possibilities are more than a rubiks cube's combinations! I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is a great coding app! It's a good app to teach kids how to code. I've had this app for quite a while and it's really good for making mobile games. And it's all for free and there are no ads! But please add an option where we can add costumes to sprites, like in Scratch. And add an option where we can edit backdrops.

God, do you think it's playful?, come, have a look at how many demos the app shows? It has little functionality, how do I let the avatar move to where my finger taps? it's a good app,but it's far from completely playable

it's a good app but it doesn't have advanced blocks like creating a clone or go to where you tap but these blocks are not necessary since you can make almost any game you want

for me...this app is good, can make any game what I think, but the problem, if I start in Fullscreen, the sprite is can move! and if I share my project, anybody can edit my project :( this is make me feel 💀, pls fix the Fullscreen bug, Fullscreen bug is like Fullscreen, but the sprite is can move! I don't like that :( pls fix, and the project if I share anybody can edit my project, pls fix developer!

easy to use would recommend to new people better than scratch pictoblox or even microbit and I do hope there is a maybe thing like a microbit that's better easy to use and can control the game but still make it a different thing separated from the normal one and if you made it like you level up you get to pick new characters because I did noticed that there is a little amount of characters you can choose and make it so that you can share you creations add friends and let people see your characte

8/10 app, helps do cloud coding and torch, but lacks things like repeat until so I can't just make any game at all. good app recommended to have

Basically Scratch for mobile! Bravo to the makers. Incredibly smooth and attractive block code app. The underlying principle gives awesome accessibility for younger ages to get them thinking logically. Or older folks too! Also a great and fun creative outlet! Love the blocks taking advantage of the mobile platform like bluetooth signals and magnet detection. Thanks much!

It's a good app overall with many features, but I request you add a costume feature like Scratch! And the "switch costume to (any)". I would like to add this next to the paint editor as a button where we can make a new costume for the object. Overall this is a great app. 4/5 recommend for people who want simple coding.

It seems like scratch, but on your phone. There's no mathematical functions that aren't the basic 4 (+-×÷). It would be nice to see others, like log or powers. The available coding functions are also pretty basic. That's great for the targeted age demographic, but for older people or just anyone who want a more in depth experience, I would recommend Fancade.
