### 5/5 — Best app ever!❤️

*2026-08-24, version 4.31.06*

(I’m Anya Puppy-a-Lot, aka. APAL) I’m still playing this app even after 4.5 years, so Here’s a story of why I play this app so much. 

So, in feb 2022, I had amazon kids+ on my kindle, and I saw that my brother was playing a game called ‘codeSpark Starter’ (it was codeSpark but with less features) from amazon kids+. 
I was interested, so I began playing it too. It was very fun! 
Eventually, on feb 25th, 2022, I asked my parents to get the full app and they accepted it. 

And that started my journey with the game. 

Right now I’m trying to publish some things (like me attacking the robots), and I have plans to make lots of idle games/tycoons (because I think idle games are fun)! Thank you for making this app.

### 1/5 — Not free + bad

*2026-08-24, version 4.31.06*

Subscription required, for THIS? As a cybersecurity professional, I tested it out to see if it would be good to teach my nephew… Resounding no, it doesn’t teach children ANYTHING about coding! Not even fake coding, which would be fine if it wasn’t so expensive and exploitative! Run away from this app, asap!

### 5/5 — I love this game I am 10 and still playing

*2026-08-24, version 4.31.06*

Hi I’m littlegamerbro the creator of countless boss fight in mods even though I’m 10 and codeSpark!The bosses that I make are hard but simple I love making them In codeSpark but it’s a bit hart to do.Every boss starts with health bar but I don’t have that so pls add but I use green gems for the main boss battle and the other ones for the side boss. I also want you guys to pls add more attacks and enemies.If you make a boss or enemy maker than my life will be 100 times easier!
