Horrible

Ok so you think you need to teach your kids coding with this app no it is the worst of them all let me explain
1.need to pay 💰 for trial
2.the games are really simple and my kid gets them pretty easy she says it’s to boring
3.Have to pay lots of money and there’s inappropriate adds therefore I do not recommend this app

5 stars

1. AMAZING Graphics 2. AWESOME Minigames 3. My I LOVE the game 4. I will need to explain it was a regular day at school all a sudden my teacher says “We are going to check out Codespark Academy!” Me and someone else are like “I LOVE this game!” so everyone asks us for help when they need help on Codespark Academy, and 99% of the people couldn’t join the game. Obviously I could join because I already had an account. So EVERYONE including me had to play on the website and I made a new account. So we have fun me and that other kid told everyone all the cool features. Then I get home and play. Codespark Academy to my surprise, IT WAS THE SCHOOL ACCOUNT! So. I had to log back in and it didn’t work so I asked my Mom to help. she put in the information and it STILL DIDN’T WORK. So I tried again and it worked luckily. Besides that amazing game, I would recommend, and awesome features!

Thanks so much for the glowing review!

Hello I have a glitch, pls respond.

So I am having troubles finding my drafts in the game. When I need to look at my drafts, I must create a new game. I have made over 40 new unused games because I needed to look at my drafts. Is there a button I am not aware about? If not can you add one? I have been playing this game for over 3 years! All of the stuff from my past is so hard to get to! Pls fix this, or at least respond! 🥹 Other than that, this is my FAV game ever.

Sound

Sorry, but the sound has gone of and my children are complaining about the fact that it’s not on this app so maybe you’ll turn it on again?

Deletes my progress

I love the game but sadly I had to put a three star review because every time my iPad accidentally turned off or just accidentally kicked me out of the game or I have a glitch and I get back into codeSpark I start working on my new project but then all my progress that I have done is gone only two pieces of my progress are still there and I have been working so hard on my breaking news channel but I just couldn’t because all of my progress is deleted except for two non-important bits please fix this problem or I will have to delete codeSpark because I am not able to make a game or a story or adventure please fix it and update it🥺🥺🥺🥺

Great for kids

I just love making stories and showing them to my parent it’s so cool how you can make your own mini movie my brother spends lots of time creating the best boss battles as he calls it I would recommend.

Subscription fees

Hello,
I had a family friend download this app and kids always on my iPad playing games. Then low and behold I got deducted hundreds of dollars for subscription fee and “ was not entitled for a refund” due to kids having played on subscription mode. Extremely upset at this app and the way that they dealt with my issue, and a warning to other people before they download this!!!

WHY JUST WHY

I didn’t put it on ONE star because it’s a good game,i was going to make it four, but i played the game instead,and it took 3 hours to make my moive project,but right when i was scolling my work,i accidentally tap on my work,i tapped back,and then when i tried to ebit my project,3 parts of my project was gone!and others were scrambled,i cried and felt sick in my stomach,i had worked so hard,and now YOU guys made it amazing, sarcastically,that’s why i gave it two less star’s,i will never accept an update,only if it’s good for the problem i had,please help my problem and if you’re looking and read this all,Ty,and if you can help i am fine for us to be a great friend,Ty for reading my Review.

It’s great!

I’m still 9 years old and I’m still enjoying it. but there are a couple a
couple reasons I gave 4 star. basically I was trying to send out my project for the Amelia Adventure game contest but my game kept on getting reported for thing it didn’t include like bullying and I worked really hard on it. Number 2 too many restrictions, you’re not adding block and basically I want to add like a cannon in my game and make point towards the player but there isn’t any possible way to do that. number 3 glitches that have been around for a long time still isn’t fixed, a lot of kid coders have stuff I don’t but I’ve updated CodeSpark to it’s highest point but still don’t have it. To conclude it, it’s great!
