### 4/5 — Won’t work on phone

*2019-09-29*

When you open the app on the phone the section where you connect your LightUp it doesn’t show the whole menu on phones but still good app keep up the good work.

### 5/5 — Pretty good

*2019-02-10*

I use this on my iPad. I build most projects in 10-15 min. I wish there were more projects for Bluetooth Tesla kit.

### 2/5 — App doesn’t work on smaller screens

*2018-12-26*

The code editor looks to be designed for iPads and won’t function on iPhone or iPod touch screens.

### 2/5 — Such a cool idea but the bugs...ugh

*2017-12-27*

We’re getting locked up on the code screen and can’t do anything with but Morse code manually. It’s such a cool idea but the app needs serious work on iOS.

### 1/5 — App crashes, is unresponsive

*2017-02-19*

Fix your app please, and test it on older iPads. Keeps crashing and not responding quickly.

### 5/5 — Wish I could give a 5 1/2

*2016-10-17*

Easy to use and fun. You can create and build with it. You can use your imagination.

### 5/5 — Great product

*2016-05-20*

My son loves this! We are using it for summer enrichment. My only complaint is that the directions for the projects are in text format only. I would love to have a read to me option.

### 1/5 — Coding input does not fit on iPhone 5/5S

*2016-03-19*

Not compatible with iPad 2 (which some schools have right now) and the coding input does not show up on iPhone 5/5S. Sloppy interface and planning.

### 5/5 — My cousins had a great time

*2016-03-15*

I bought a LightUp kit for my young cousins (ages 8 and 10). They really enjoyed the Augmented Reality integration in the app, particularly with the short circuit lesson. This was a great first introduction to electronics.

### 5/5 — Looks great 👍🏽

*2016-02-18*

I've been waiting for this to have more fun with my Lightup kit. It's fun and engaging to play with it using iPhone. I recommend this app for all Lightup fans!
