This game is really a lot of fun for children of different ages because little kids can enjoy the simple journey using basic programming concepts, while older ones can delve into more complex ones at the higher levels. The graphics are done very nicely and you can save your progress so you don’t have to start every time.

Very buggy, many crashes

So many bugs, no way am I buying the paid version. This app crashes, plus once you get it playing its lacking buttons it says you need and the UI is super wonky. Sad.

Ironic that a programming teaching app has bugs

Stupid.

You don't learn to program using this. The help/tutorial files are often blank. The steps and symbols are really hard to understand. All you have to do is match the pictures and the program runs without any logical thought. Complete waste of time.
