Good but I need to report a bug

You see, I’m making this geometry dash game and I’m making a verity update (if you don’t know what verity is search it up on YouTube) and I can’t access my scenes. Please fix this as soon as possible

Pretty good

It’s a great coding app, and I would definitely recommend. 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👍

Really good just some problems

I love it but first the app is pretty limited without the subscription. Also for some reason it won't let me get the new version.
