### 1/5 — Kicks you out

*2022-05-30, version 1.1*

This game is pointless and it kicks you out!
Also,I know it’s not outdated software because I have a fairly new IPad.Btw if it’s not kicking you out or failing to load,then it’s screen is frozen.If you want to get outraged then definitely get this.

### 1/5 — Do not download!

*2022-04-19, version 1.1*

I was pulled into this app because I am a scratcher and have made a couple games myself and I am currently working off my school Chromebook, so I thought that this would be perfect for me.But I was wrong I thought that this was just like the website because I don’t like using scratch on on mobile on the website but I thought this would be more mobile friendly. But it is an eating scratch so don’t waste your time on this pile of garbage because two seconds of owning this app was enough to see that it’s just tutorials and it doesn’t even let you try them out. Worst app ever one stars!    terrible!

Goooooooooooooood. Great

### 5/5 — Amazing.

*2014-07-04, version 1.0*

I have always wanted to learn how to make arcade classics in Scratch and this app certainly has taught me how to do so. Great for teaching students and trainee Computer scientists alike. 10/10. It would also be cool if the creator made a tutorial on Mario or something :P

### 5/5 — Top Quality.-Alex.F

*2013-06-30, version 1.0*

Thanks for this really useful

### 5/5 — Quality

*2013-06-28, version 1.0*

If you didn't know the menu goes wonky in landscape mode after you watch one of the videos. In fairness the videos are really good and I really like the way you have broken it into small tasks and not given it to the kids on a plate. Good job.

### 5/5 — Brilliant App

*2013-06-25, version 1.0*

This app is going to be really useful teaching fundamentals of programming to my KS3 classes.

### 5/5 — Excellent Learning resource for Scratch Kids

*2013-06-22, version 1.0*

Scratch kids come in all sizes and I love your approach within this app and associated tutorials. I hope to see it continue to expand in the future.
