Too hard!

apparently made for children 6-8 - it’s unclear what you have to do in the game and no tutorial etc - it’s too difficult for my children to use and I have struggled to figure out what needs doing. What a waste of £1.99

Totally useless app.

Doesn’t work anywhere!!

It is not updating

It’s not updated and I am frustrated

Only works on 2 year old or newer iPads

What a waste of my time getting this app installed on school iPads where compatibility was assured only to find it’s not. The teachers plans are ruined because you can’t get your information correct. There are two factors to compatibility 1. iOS version and 2. Hardware version. The App Store looks at 1. And not 2.

This was not clearly stated. Schools who invested heavily in iPads three or four year ago can’t afford to buy them again. AR works on older iPads why on earth implement an app design that only works with the latest equipment. These are are not gamers indulging their passion but learners on restricted public budgets. Your loss as much as ours.

Hi iPaddyfield, sorry to hear you had issues due to the age of devices. I know it can be frustrating. The good news is that we've updated this game version and made a 3D option - to work on devices that don't work with the latest AR. You can re-install from your previous install page, which means you don't have to purchase the game again, now this new version is priced. We hope you get chance to enjoy the 3D game like the many others educators who use this to help teach coding in their lessons.

Wow! Such an awesome app!

This is such an interactive game! It’s wonderful! The adults enjoyed it as much as the kids! It’s so immersive and different from anything I’ve seen before. Definitely worth the download. You won’t be disappointed.

Hello smithymrs, our team are delighted to hear you enjoyed the app (as so many others do). Though we developed this for kids - it's amazing just how many adults get in touch to share their love of the game. Don't forget to try out the level editor too, you can build your own levels and play them in AR - and take the game further. Enjoy, and thanks for your feedback once again!

Rubbish

Doesn’t work. Waste of time.

Hi Stefkq, we're really sorry to hear you had trouble getting this to work. It might be your device does not support the AR functions in the game (there's a list detailed on the product page). The good news is we've added a 3D version, so that you can still enjoy the game - no matter what device you're using. Just re-install from your installed apps options and enjoy the game!

It doesn’t work

Get stuck / frozen at loading screen.

Response from developer

Sorry to hear you are having issues loading this game. This app is designed to work in AR. Like all AR apps - it needs to locate where your device is in your environment in order to start the game. This is indicated by an icon that shows moving the device around the room when loading to help location tracking. If you are still struggling to make the game work please check your device is compatible on the listed models on the app page details. We hope you get this resolved so you can enjoy the game!

Didn’t understand how to play.

Maybe a tutorial or an explanation on how to start or link the game to something could help.

Not great

Latest iPad Air won’t calibrate with camera. Waste of time

Response from developer

Hello, we're sorry to hear you had issues with your camera and the game. The good news is we're working on a non AR version - which will solve the issue and let you play without needing the camera. We'll update this as soon as we can!

Horrible

Absolute rubbish DO NOT PLAY

Response from developer

As an App of the day winner - we're really sorry to hear you didn't enjoy the game (or the amazing AR experience it offers). Our thorough user testing showed great engagement through the children, parents and teachers using the app. Independent research showed this app works to fulfil many of the educational goals in learning basic coding skills. Thanks for giving this a try anyway.
