Really good just some problems

I love it but first the app is really limited without the subscription. Also the subscription is really expensive. Then I wish there were more tutorials. And finally I kinda think there should be like a ai to explain projects.

Fun to play games for a while but gets boring

For me this was one of those apps where it’s fun for about a month but then it got a bit lame and it became an app that you touch once like every two weeks
