### 3/5 — Just a lil bug

*2026-02-02, version 1.2.0*

If you check the timer, I could see that nothing shows on the time selection. When I’m doing something, the timer set itself to 23 hours. Fix this bug I kindly ask.

### 1/5 — Limited and Not working well

*2025-12-26, version 1.2.0*

The basic instructional machines work well enough but it becomes very limited once the machines extend beyond the 3 or 4 in the manual.  Eg. The sound function does nog work in a self-built machine outside the scope of the instructions.

### 5/5 — Ваня

*2025-05-01, version 1.2.0*

Очень крутое приложение только я бы добавил резисторы транзисторы и так далее

### 5/5 — 잘못 눌렀어요

*2025-01-24, version 1.2.0*

아직 한 번도 안 들어갔는데 환불 좀 해주세요...

### 5/5 — Super app

*2024-12-23, version 1.2.0*

Thanks for this app to Tinybop

### 5/5 — Still one of the best gadget builders

*2024-10-17*

Still going strong, holding up from simple builds when my son was 6 to now 9 and building multi device booby traps.

**Developer response:** We love to hear this. It's so much fun to hear about the "devices" kids have made with this app. We're considering an update to incorporate some of the new sensors in late model phones/iPads. Any suggestions on what you'd like to see in the future?

### 1/5 — Imposible descargar versión para iOS 9.3.6

*2022-12-05, version 1.1.5*

Imposible descargar versión para iOS 9.3.6, a pesar de que la tengo comprada, me aparece constantemente un error de que no se puede instalar. Deberían poder solucionar ese problema. No hay modo de descargarla ni siquiera recurriendo a mi larga lista de aplicaciones compradas. Un cero para Tinybop y otro para Apple.

### 4/5 — Gute App

*2022-08-26, version 1.1.5*

Die App ist schön gestaltet und fördert die Kreativität. Ich würde mir aber wünschen, dass der Stromkreis erst geschlossen sein muss, bevor die Maschine funktioniert. So werden Fehlvorstellungen vermieden.

### 5/5 — Verrrrrrry good

*2022-07-21, version 1.1.5*
