The only problem I have is that everything needs the $100 subscription, I wish I could do a little more but other than that, great game👍 ### 4/5 — Great app but kinda needing some improvement. *2026-07-28, version 3.73.0* I like it, but it’s that EVERYTHING needs a subscription. All I can do is watch other people’s games. It needs some improvement but still, great app! ### 2/5 — I couldn’t do anything *2026-07-23, version 3.73.0* At first, I could publish, update publishes, create drafts, ect… But then, soon after, I couldn’t publish, edit publishes, not even create new drafts! All I could do is play my drafts and publishes, or get the subscription which I didn’t want to do! 2 stars. ### 4/5 — Really good just some problems *2026-06-28, version 3.73.0* 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. ### 2/5 — Fun to play games for a while but gets boring *2026-06-28, version 3.73.0* 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 ### 3/5 — Kind of hard *2026-05-25, version 3.73.0* Even though I just started it’s kind of hard ### 3/5 — My dad could not help me with the sign in *2026-05-16, version 3.73.0* I’m writing this in 2026 also this was in 2 or 3 years ago of this mistake the sign email was hard to do I asked my dad and he tried but it did not work so I asked my mum to help but still no ( this happened in 2023 also please make it easier for the sign in/log in ### 5/5 — Please help *2026-05-12, version 3.73.0* So, I can't subscribe. I first tried in Google Chrome. Then it worked but when I got in the Hopscotch app it showed nothing about me subscribing. I am really mad and sad about it, pls help P.S. I used to have it and it worked perfectly idk what is wrong now ### 2/5 — It’s okay *2026-05-11, version 3.73.0* It’s alright because you have to pay if you want a profile. Even in some of the games CHILDREN created you have to pay for seeds to continue. But it helps the children’s brain ALOT. There’s a section where it shows you how to do the game you want to crest step-by-step.Just don’t pay for a few things… and your child will be happy! ### 5/5 — My fav *2026-05-08, version 3.73.0* I can play games here and make my own and maybe I’ll just make one in App Store because hopscotch is teaching me! ### 5/5 — How good hopscotch is *2026-05-07, version 3.73.0* It’s a fun game where u get to make your own games you should try it -slowsteel159 ### 3/5 — It’s okay *2026-05-06, version 3.73.0* It seems like it could be good, but, to be able to do a lot of things, you need the subscription. ### 5/5 — Hopscotch is ded :(( *2026-05-02, version 3.73.0* yeah this app is dead but join it for a community :D ### 5/5 — One of the best games I have ever played *2026-04-15, version 3.73.0* Hopscotch is amazing for all ages.

I love playing other people’s games. I just don’t understand how some people use blocks. I can’t even find in my code and sometimes I would go on my code and find blocks that I used to use, but they’re just not there. Love the tutorial videos, but I’ve tried all of them. I’ve tested them, but they’re just too easy for me. ### 1/5 — I’m so mad *2025-07-08, version 3.73.0* So I had the best app that I love it kicked me out at log me out I idk the email they deleted my account I lowkey liked it but not no more I’m finding a new app now ### 1/5 — Costs way more that it is worth, we shouldn't even pay *2025-06-14, version 3.73.0* First of all, we shouldn't even pay, second of all, its not even worth paying, Scratch is way better, it is free and has way better features. Plus, you can actually add sounds from actual songs into it and they dont glitch, on hopscotch you cant add sounds from actual songs, plus the sound player is trash🗑️. ### 1/5 — I hate hopscotch *2025-05-09, version 3.73.0* It’s a Tarik app ### 1/5 — Remix deleted *2025-05-07, version 3.73.0* When deleted project, REMIX GOT DELETED!

Some of the buttons in “looks and sounds” are also gone for example, send to back, bring to front. overall, this game is fun to use but needs the features back to make good games. ### 1/5 — Hop Hop! *2025-03-27, version 3.73.0* The best app in terms of teaching kids how to code!
