It does not work on the computer and it does not work on upload mode. It is kind of glitchy, and the device selection sometimes doesn’t work, but it is super good for coding a robot. Thank you for this amazing app! 😃 ### 3/5 — Problème avec iOS 26 ! *2026-04-14* Bonjour. L’appli était très bien (malgré quelques instructions mal traduites en français), je l’utilisais pour programmer un robot mBot 2 ; malheureusement depuis le passage à iOS 26, la plupart des modules sont inutilisables (CyberPi, capteurs du mBot 2…). Peut-on espérer une mise à jour de l’application pour résoudre tous ces problèmes ? Il n’est pas possible non plus d’utiliser la version en ligne (via le navigateur) pour piloter le robot comme sur un ordinateur… Dommage ! ### 4/5 — Rawr *2026-04-03, version 2.2.6* This was interesting... ### 4/5 — Good Coding Expirence *2026-03-13, version 2.2.6* We have to download another app to use but it’s good ### 4/5 — Hey MBlock team, *2026-03-02* Not going to lie it’s kind of like scratch, but overall it is really good for coding robot. One thing I do have to suggest is that in the settings when I try to enable Bluetooth Bluetooth setting isn’t there so I think something there is not fully functioning. but I have to say this is really awesome. Keep up the good work! ### 4/5 — Merkwürdig *2026-01-01, version 2.2.6* Es gibt keinen mbot2/mbot neo aber wenn du mit ihm programmieren willst musst du Cyber pi auswählen und auf mbot2 shield, Ultrasonic sensor 2 und Quad RGB sensor Erweiterungen gehen wieso kann man nicht einfach mbot2/mbot neo wählen ??? ### 3/5 — Copy. *2025-11-28, version 2.2.6* This game is a direct copy of scratch, I would be fine with it if they changed it A BIT. But no. They did not even try to hide the fact they stole from scratch, same sprites, literally same code all they did was “you can’t use this part” because it’s for pc only. It’s would be good if you ATLEST made it for mobile, yet no. ### 3/5 — Ma come si fa? *2025-11-25, version 2.2.6* Non offre istruzioni sul robot che vuoi usare ed è complicato usare i sensori perché ti da solo dati. ### 1/5 — Null Support *2025-08-20, version 2.2.6* App wird seit Jahren nicht fertiggestellt (einzelne Programmierbausteine sind auf chinesisch etc.). ### 1/5 — No support for Mbot 2 *2025-07-30, version 2.2.6* The iPad app does not support even their own products. ### 4/5 — Good *2025-07-25* It works well and connects to mbot, but when i try to make do anything on live mode it doesn’t do it. And on IPad you can’t use upload mode. (All on IPad) Update works perfectly just had to reset firmware and works perfectly ### 3/5 — Good, but doesn’t work for mbot *2025-07-21* It works well and connects to mbot, but when i try to make do anything on live mode it doesn’t do it. And on IPad you can’t use upload mode. (All on IPad) ### 3/5 — Mbot 2 *2025-07-12, version 2.2.6* Merhaba, uygulama iphone da mbot 2 uygun değil ve ciddi bir peoblem ### 1/5 — 아니 이건 좀;; *2025-07-09, version 2.2.6* 이거 깔아서 만들는게 엔트리보다 100배 안좋음 그리고 이거 하지마삼 레알 ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Total nonsense. *2026-05-25, version 2.2.6* I can only connect to Cody when I have an mbot2. How am I supposed to connect to Bluetooth to my mbot2? ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2026-05-18* It can’t detect the mbot despite this is the official app. The other app for controlling the mbot works so it’s not a hardware issue. This app doesn’t work so coding isn’t possible. ### 1/5 — Not the best app *2026-05-07, version 2.2.6* Not the best app ### 1/5 — The stupid app doesn’t work *2026-04-24, version 2.2.6* The stupid app doesn’t work ### 1/5 — Bad *2026-04-12, version 2.2.6* App won’t let me connect to robot and you can’t just go straight into coding ### 1/5 — Appli principalement en chinois!! *2026-02-07* Quel dommage. La plupart des modules ne sont qu’en chinois. Si au moins, ils pouvaient être en anglais (ou en français idéalement….) ### 1/5 — No mBot2 support *2026-01-27, version 2.2.6* This is supposed to work with mBot2 but it does not have it as a supported device! ### 1/5 — 网络 *2025-12-06, version 2.2.6* 网络不好👎🏿 ### 1/5 — 아 진짜 *2025-10-02, version 2.2.6* 스크래치 짭에다 조작도 잘 안됨. 복제 안됨. 문제아 샊… ### 1/5 — Mbot2 spielt Geräusche nicht ab Guide fixen *2025-09-30, version 2.2.6* Hallo der mbot2 in der aktuellen Version funktioniert mit der App nicht wie erwartet. Wenn man die Anleitung des Tutorials folgt, werden die Geräusche nicht abgespielt, wenn man die Tasche über B drückt. Je nachdem welchen man programmiert wie kann man das Problem lösen?? ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great for Coding! *2026-06-26* This is a great substitute for Scratch and very easy to use and amazing! Even better than Scratch! I used it for many gaming projects, I just wish you could upload for others to play. ### 5/5 — Perfect! *2025-12-21* It works amazingly except for the sprites extension. It just gives me an error when I use it. Other than that, amazing. To all those people who can’t use the servos, it’s in the extensions tab. Thanks for reading! It’s a great app. Worth it. ### 5/5 — Çok good *2025-11-25, version 2.2.6* Mega süper ### 5/5 — No mbot2 *2025-10-19, version 2.2.6* I could code but why I cant find the mbot2/mbot Neo in the devices? ### 5/5 — The best robot coding app. *2025-10-11, version 2.2.6* I have a Codey Rocky, and this is great. I made a code that Codey wakes up, says “Christmas!”, and runs at 100 speed with colorful lights. No glitches, no errors and I can play with no- Wi-Fi! Only Bluetooth! I love playing with my Codey Rocky. And I play with the another app of Makeblock of joystick and draw and run. Excellent! Please make more updates. ### 5/5 — 정말 재미있어요 *2025-06-30, version 2.2.6* 정말 최고의 어플. 매우 최고 ### 5/5 — 너무 좋아요 *2024-11-08, version 2.2.6* 너무 좋아요 너무 재밌어요 학교에서 진로체험 와서 깔아봤는데 너무 좋아요 굿굿!! 여러분들도 깔아보세요! 완전 좋아요❤️❤️ ### 5/5 — ^-^ *2024-11-02, version 2.2.6* I’m so excited! ### 5/5 — 5 stars *2024-10-07* I was using this for a project and it was super easy and helped me so much and I love how it works ### 5/5 — Just one thing *2024-04-08, version 2.2.5* Just one thing: 👍🏻 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
