### 4/5 — Keyboard notes misplaced

*2026-06-22*

The piano keyboard  at the  control panel for the mbot 0 
Is is actually misplaced but this is super nice though but it has a boring view and less functionality.

### 1/5 — Absolute maddening trash

*2025-12-27*

I wish I could give this garbage app from this garbage company negative stars. Support is nonexistent from the company and what is on the web is so conflicting it is impossible to know what to do. This thing has connected exactly once in three days for my expensive robot and it has never once communicated with or controlled the thing. I am livid that I bought my child this for Christmas and it does not work on ANY level

### 1/5 — 절대로 깔지마셈

### 1/5 — Why I hate this

*2025-01-12*

I did everything right I can’t find why my robot can’t move forward instead it turns to the right and motor B go backwards I try coding I can’t flip it

### 4/5 — Great

Mon robot peut manger des frites et peut en produire

### 4/5 — Fantastic, need iOS Keyboard support

*2024-10-15, version 3.9.0*

I’ve been using the Makeblock app on my iPad for educational purposes, and it’s generally a fantastic tool. However, I’ve encountered an issue when using an external keyboard in the “Events” mode—certain keys don’t seem to work properly, which disrupts the coding process. I’ve checked my iPad settings, and this seems to be specific to the app. It would be great if future updates could address this compatibility issue, as it limits the app’s full potential for users who rely on external keyboards. Otherwise, it’s a solid learning tool!
