Good

This is one if the best coding apps and there are no ads! :D

unfairness

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 donโ€™t know if it was my fault or the tutorials fault but other than that a good app!

Love it but broke it

I did use the micro:bit but the battery compartment broke

Very nice app

Itโ€™s a coding app that allows you to do anything with your Micro:bit using Bluetooth without a USB cable, it works perfectly for me

Stop wasting my time

so i have to install an app for a website i could easily go on?

Good

The microbit stimulator doesnโ€™t show anything

Micro:bit

I was forced to use this in science class but itโ€™s really fun :D

Works sooo well!

This app helped me every time even helped me used to my Micro bit. Itโ€™s actually so good!

Itโ€™s quite great

Itโ€™s a great app if you donโ€™t know how to do hex files (especially on Apple Mac cuz I have a 10) itโ€™s 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 itโ€™s 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 itโ€™s 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!

Some minor grammatical errors

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

wow amazing uwu

Uhhhhh

Wonโ€™t let me import anything

THIS IS FIVE STAR!!!!!!!

This program is a great learning experience for people to start to code

Fab App

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!

Rubbish (polite)

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 โ€œStay awayโ€

Itโ€™s okay

Missing many features like the ability to mute noise it would be a large help if thereโ€™s an alternative to using Bluetooth such as plugging the microbit into your phone

Wonโ€™t pair

The app wonโ€™t pair

doesnโ€™t work anymore

it used to work perfectly but it just shows a white screen

QUICK

This took 1 SECOND to download. Loving how this is looking. Five stars for me. Iโ€™m currently in Design Technology, so I have to go.

Like the app

Iโ€™ve 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.
