Wow
Good job on creating this game
Should be the perfect learning tool
Like others, I was looking for the beauty of Turtle Graphics (without the bulk of Logo) and this looked like it. I so much wanted this to be a 5* application, but it is unfortunately far from that. The tutorials are very good, but exceptionally linear. If you don’t do exactly what the instructions tell you, it will not work. Worse; the instructions don’t tell you enough to complete the tasks and there is no indication of where you went wrong. The faults are many (the turtle doesn’t do what it’s told!) but it does look good. This will all cause disappointment for children and put them off learning a very useful life-skill. It’s a great shame as It would take so little effort to correct these faults. However, ’support’ are dismissive to the point that I was told I didn’t follow their instructions and therefore there wasn’t an issue with their software - if they actually listened, and played with their own creation, they could easily correct these errors.

Buggy
Won't even open. Was looking forward to this game for our kids but can't even play it.
Brilliant, aber dreister Preis für so wenig!
Die Idee ist wirklich zuckersüß. Und selbst mein Erstklässler hatte mit dem ersten Kapitel schon einen Riesenspaß und viel gelernt. Leider hatten wir an Tag zwei Kapitel 2 und 3 durch und das wars. App liegt in der Ecke. 3,99€ für 1-2 Tage Spielspass sind ein unverschämter Preis. Baut das Programm aus, geht langsamer vor, die mindestens 10fache Kapitelanzahl und dann kann man dafür auch Geld verlangen. So nur als Gratisspiel für einmal zwischendurch zu empfehlen. Wirklich schade!

Teacher Review: Good Little App
This is an interesting programming app. I like the layout, graphics and price. We tried Hopscotch with a class, which was a disaster. This is much more straightforward, but could use some tweaks to make it easier to use with kids.
Some of the directions are confusing. With more detailed directions explaining cause and effect, this would be 5 stars for me. For example, why does the turtle need to change colors to achieve a goal? The app says that there is a problem that needs to be solved, but as a user it doesn't seem that way. Some of these details seem counterintuitive, but not so much that I wouldn't try this with a group of kids.
This is definitely worth evaluating!

I love it!!!
Great app for kids!
Great app
Been looking for something to help teach my 8 year old son how to program for a while. This app is almost perfect for the job. Agree with some of the other reviewers comments, in particular with the comment about the objectives. I haven't played it enough and there maybe an easy way to re-read the objective of each level, but I haven't found it yet. This and a few other minor issues mean I still need to help my son to complete the objectives sometimes, but what else are parents for?
Overall, more than happy with the app.

iOS 8 has lot of issues
Hi there,
this was a good game but has so many issues on iOS 8. App freezes with icons disappearing or completely missing. I hope someone is looking into fixing it.

Glad I purchased it!
Great app! My son loves it.
Nice app to introduce kids to programming
This app is a nice introduction to programming for kids. My son went through the tutorials and enjoyed them. It is simple yet engaging enough to keep him interested. It would nice for the developer to add more program examples that you can download (maybe they have done it already, I'd have to check...)

Great :)
Tnx for this awesome app :)
Reminds me of my youth!
My first encounter with computing was in the 1st grade in the early eighties where a used a program called Logo on an Apple IIe and would move a "turtle" just like this. Hope to inspire my little ones.
Nice
I like this just as much as doing Python Code!!!
Loved the app
Great first learning tool for my 10 year old. Not to hard not to easy. A good challenge. Would really like more 'exercises' at each stage to consolidate what has been learned. Turtle was engaging and fun. Thanks look forward to much more.
Great teaching app
This is a great teaching at four beginnings of all ages.
My grandchildren wrote their first cold is it.
I also have an elder in his 50s who wrote his first coat with it.
I highly recommend. +[(:-)
Note to programming staff:
List upgrade doesn't work for me I have no idea how to us import. Says I need some kind of parental ID?

Einfach super
Ich kenne die Programmiersprache noch als "Logo". Umsetzung, Grafik und die Übungen sind spitze. Auch für Programmierer ein spaßiger Zeitvertreib
Buy!!!
Buy!!! Children & adults will enjoy a game format & enjoyable content with simple step instructions. Ch. 3 may be challenging for those new to programming concepts (me) but who wants an app you can finish in 2 hours anyway?
Fun intro to programming
Seems like it would be fun intro to programming for my 4yo. Little too hard now, but will start once she can read.
Great programming tutor
All I expected & quite advanced concepts - subroutines supported etc. Some competition aspect would be great - maybe being able to compete with someone else's turtle somehow. Quite a leap to make that happen I know. I'm happy with the app though, will take my kid a while to get to grips with all the concepts. Thanks.
