Crashes Constantly
My daughter loves this app but it crashes almost constantly these days. I found out because she said she doesn’t use it anymore and I asked why. She said it always closes and she has to start over. So I install the latest update and sure enough - I tried it 5 times and it crashed within 60 seconds every time. I don’t mind paying $10/mo for a great app, but it’s been a long time since I’ve seen an app crash this much.

Something is wrong 😡
When I was making a game something weird happened I was going to test the game and then it started to take two hearts away and I went to go and fix it for a little while and then it starts to take all my hearts and I’m starting to get really annoyed 😒 and triggered and it has been doing it to some of my games and when I want to make a brand new story and when I want to watch someone else’s it kicks me out of the game but I love the game a lot but there is just two things wrong about the game that I want you to fix please.👍

Beware the billing!!
Good app, but be SUPER careful that you uncheck the box which automatically renews a yearly subscription. With no warning, another yearly subscription was deducted from my credit card. And for days I have been trying to access the ‘My Account’ section of the app to stop further payments, but it won’t work. It just would have been courteous to be given a choice prior to the next subscription. Busy working parents can’t remember random things that happened 12 months ago!! Costly mistake.

Don't purchase this game
When it said in app purchases I didn't know the whole thing costed money why just make it cost money to download. I say 0 stars
Solicit with lower offers, then do not honor
I had a monthly membership but quit bc my daughter wasn’t using it enough. I received an email offering a lifetime membership for $70 as an earlybird sale. I tried all day to redeem, using various browsers, my phone, etc. and it wouldn’t process. The next day the price went up. I contacted customer service as they told me they do not offer lifetime memberships anymore. After I submitted proof of both offers, I did not receive a response. The emails continued. Since my daughter wanted it again,I tried to purchase at the higher price (still lifetime membership), but it still wouldn’t process. Clearly they want to hook you with a monthly membership. Talk about a scam, emailing offers that do not exist and then refusing to respond.

Money grab
This app is fun for kids however their monthly subscription actually charges TWICE a month so it’s actually almost 40$ a month for this child’s game! I’m cancelling after this months end not worth the pay off my son can have fun coding with other reasonably priced toys and games
Just a few ideas
This game is awesome.i love the new update(creat-a-foo), but I want more. I want a item creator. In the creator, you can put images on a base of a item. And if you are done, you could publish it for others to use. You can also put other items and stuff on you're bases. You should also be able to make custom pets. draw on the custom items with tools such as a paintbrush, a pencil, and others. Oh, and one more thing. I want to be able to publish and share our custom foos.

Subscription approach is ridiculous.
10 dollars a month to use an app. Seriously? It used to be free to use and pay for add ons. I understand the need to earn money but who in their right mind thinks it makes sense to spend 120 dollars a year to use this app? You can pay a one time payment less than that for full access to professional apps, games, software, etc. out there of equal or better production value. No offense to the developers but, making a point. This should be a one time payment offering that includes a sampling of different games and development access. Then added costs for downloadable content. Subscriptions of this type are just a way to take advantage of consumers and milk them for money whether they use the app or not.

Hi there! I'm so sorry for the confusion. Our beta version of our app was free but we never had a pay option for add-ons. Our only model is our subscription service that helps us add new content to the app every 3-4 weeks while keeping it free for public schools, libraries, and educational non-profit organizations. We do have one-time payment options on our website, codeSpark.com, including membership gifts and lifetime memberships. These memberships give you access to the entirety of the app as well as all future content updates, just like monthly memberships. If you have any questions or would like to discuss our payment options, please contact us at Support@codeSpark.com - we're happy to help!
I just want to learn
Hello, I’m 14 and my school doesn’t have any classes or really anything on coding and I would love to learn how and where to start and all that, so I took it upon myself to learn how. I saw an ad for this and hoped for the best. I downloaded it and apparently you must pay monthly for this. I understand it’s how they make their money and what-not but I’m only 14 and, of course, can’t do monthly payments especially since my parents are both poor and against the idea of learning from something other than what the school teaches us. I haven’t actually done any lessons or anything because I would have to pay which is why I gave 2 stars instead of 1 because the lessons could be amazing an work really well but I’m pretty sure and kid who actually wants to learn and not be forced to do something like this by their parents or school would love it if their were a stripped down version of the app that one could use and learn to do at least simple coding would be greatly appreciated by anyone looking to learn who might not be able to pay because of the situation their in. Besides, shouldn’t education be free? Especially for kids who want to learn?

Hi there! Our app is geared more towards younger learners, ages 4-10, and is free for public schools, non-profit organizations, and libraries. If you'd like some coding resources tailored more for your age, please check out Code.org. They're a great place to get started!
