This is one if the best coding apps and there are no ads! :D
Listen, I was doing one of the Java tutorials and I did what the tutorial said and it said I was wrong, so I went and put it in blocks and switched it to Java and it was the exact same that I did. I donโt know if it was my fault or the tutorials fault but other than that a good app!
I did use the micro:bit but the battery compartment broke
Itโs a coding app that allows you to do anything with your Micro:bit using Bluetooth without a USB cable, it works perfectly for me
so i have to install an app for a website i could easily go on?
The microbit stimulator doesnโt show anything
I was forced to use this in science class but itโs really fun :D
This app helped me every time even helped me used to my Micro bit. Itโs actually so good!
Itโs a great app if you donโt know how to do hex files (especially on Apple Mac cuz I have a 10) itโs better for iPads but you can use it for your phone. The only thing is its starting page is very tacky and looks dodgy but itโs not. If you have a laptop DO NOT use this use the cable you get with it, then go on to google go onto make code then program it, if you have a chrome book then itโs easy but with a MacBook I needed to use a hex file which is easy. But remember to eject the micro bit out before pulling on the wire. You can use a micro bit on scratch but for a laptop you need to download scratch link otherwise your all setup!

The UI has some minor grammatical errors, such as when sending code to the Micro:Bit it says "Please do not interact with Micro:Bit" rather than "the Micro:Bit" or "your Micro:Bit" as one would expect.
wow amazing uwu
Wonโt let me import anything
This program is a great learning experience for people to start to code
This is super easy to use and I was coding my micro:bit in less than 3mins. Looking forward to doing some more coding on it!
Well it free but personally having to reset the device every 5 mins ( or less) and then without success was very very poor in my opinion. If there is an easier way to pair and then use the device with my iPad 10 I would love to see it. Personally to avoid stress I would suggest in its current for โStay awayโ

Missing many features like the ability to mute noise it would be a large help if thereโs an alternative to using Bluetooth such as plugging the microbit into your phone
The app wonโt pair
it used to work perfectly but it just shows a white screen
This took 1 SECOND to download. Loving how this is looking. Five stars for me. Iโm currently in Design Technology, so I have to go.
Iโve owned my micro:bit (and this app) for about a year, and it is quite nice to flash files on the go. Some small pairing issues, but overall it works well.
