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. ### 1/5 — Crashes *2013-05-23* I go to the practice or not the level be teaching you how to do stuff and it keeps on crashing i really want to try this out too 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 ### 1/5 — Crap. *2013-03-17* Whenever you try to load a level it crashes. Would have been good app though ### 1/5 — doesn't work *2013-03-02* very first tutorial refers to a button .... green rectangle with an up arrow inside that isn't on the interface anywhere. if you hit the next free circle in the grid you seem to get a list of actions as indicated, but choosing the indicated "walk" card and then hitting > generates an error message implying you hadn't placed an action card. maybe it can be made to work but not if you try to follow the instructions in the tutorial. ### 2/5 — Very buggy, many crashes *2015-12-28* 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. ### 2/5 — Buggy *2015-04-19* Ironic that a programming teaching app has bugs ### 2/5 — Confusing interface, buggy *2013-06-19* I felt the interface was more complicated than it needed to be for a kids game. Very buggy, kept crashing. Giving two stars because the concept is good, but I felt it wax unusable. ### 3/5 — Crashes *2013-09-08* It looks great but I can't get into the first level or create a map. It crash out of the game when I try. I am using iOS 6.01 maybe it will work with iOS 5? Please update your app!! ### 4/5 — Wait a minute *2015-06-14, version 1.3* Aha! Planetcute, we meet again ### 4/5 — Really good, but BugReport! *2013-01-11, version 1.3* This game looks really promising, but it won't actually let me press any of the action buttons in the programme menu, which takes away from it slightly, but it seems like its a great idea for a great game! ## Most praised reviews (4 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Lulu *2025-06-29* 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. ### 5/5 — Great potential, full version tempting me! *2012-12-15* Keep up the good work. More free levels would be great but being able to create as many maps as I want is still lots of fun. Will definitely get the full version when I've played with it more :) ### 5/5 — My kids love it! *2012-11-30* And honestly, so do I! ### 5/5 — Learning to program *2012-11-29* When I was learning to program a long, long time ago, they tried to teach the kids the basics of control and loops with a program called Logo. Not much has been done in this field for the past 30 years. Cato goes a long way to teach basic concepts of logic and control in a fun way. Somewhere along the way, programming went from being fun to getting Spring Hibernate POJOs to talk to you ESB. This app reminds me of why I became a programmer in the first place. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
