### 3/5 — Why!

*2026-05-23*

I downloaded this app and it does not let me login but I love codeSpark and if you want to download codeSpark, just get the real code spark app it is better than this impossible login app

### 4/5 — Um, Help

*2025-11-03*

All The Homer Games On The App Don’t Work It Just Closes It. Plus One The Learn With Sesame Street Story With Big Bird Dosen’t  Work It Just Closes The App.

### 1/5 — I thought you would give me the full versions and you didn’t

*2025-05-31*

I can’t make a crazy code spark level. And I can’t make a weird homer pizza.

### 5/5 — Love the whimsical characters!

*2024-08-24*

I love the mix of games and characters in this! There’s something for every age range. Characters are colorful and engaging. Content is educational and age appropriate. I like the mix of types of content too- songs, games, videos etc.

### 5/5 — Love the beautiful underwater game

*2024-08-16*

Nice to play a free app version of some of these learning games!  The pacific game where you can control the fishes is great!  Plus, you learn a bit about what those creatures are about.  Also love the submarine motif.. hope they get a whole series with navigational elements going. From what I understand the two characters are from Little Passports.  Hope they do more where they get to travel around the world!
