[DEVELOPERS PLEASE READ] *2026-08-16, version 1.5.11* Okay I’m going to say it’s not a bad app it great and perfect just please add a button that lets you go through your camera roll and pick a sprite from there so you can draw your sprites outside of the app or get them off a website that’s all ### 4/5 — (-_-) *2026-08-12, version 1.5.11* PRETTY FUNNY 😆 0_0 ### 4/5 — Let us add up to 16 backgrounds instead of 4 *2026-08-08, version 1.5.11* Please add 16 backgrounds because I have long projects up to 16 sene so can you let us select 16 backgrounds for my children 🇸🇿🇵🇹🇲🇰🇬🇧🇬🇮🇧🇷🇰🇪🇸🇦🇿🇦 ### 3/5 — Good app *2026-08-05, version 1.5.11* DOSENT require internet and it’s a good code simple idea! So you should try this. Even schools use this ! ### 2/5 — :/ *2026-08-05, version 1.5.11* not as good as scratch but can't find that in the app store so I downloaded this app. I wish there were more options and was more like scratch and was easier to color. Definitely for kids. ### 4/5 — Slow speed dpesnt work *2026-07-30, version 1.5.11* The app is cool n all but, when you save a level with a slow speed block, if you back into it it becomes an icon-less block. And it doesn’t work! Sometimes, it becomes normal speed aswell. Please fix this! ### 3/5 — Yes *2026-07-23, version 1.5.11* DOSENT require internet and it’s a good code simple idea! ### 3/5 — This is very great, but here is what I would think you are gonna add *2026-07-22, version 1.5.11* The reason why I only added three stars is there that is no variable at all But it’s still great And plus it’s great for kids ### 4/5 — Awesome! *2026-07-18, version 1.5.11* I agree with slayyyyy 💅🏻💅🏻💅🏻💅🏻💅🏻 ### 3/5 — Don’t play *2026-07-16, version 1.5.11* It’s not a scratch on a iPhone it’s for kids that are: scratch says: 5-7 reviews says: 5-8 ### 4/5 — It is always broken when I opened it! *2026-07-14, version 1.5.11* I made a project and closed it and when I opened it again ,it changed into a bad looking project. ### 3/5 — Pls pls PLS *2026-07-10, version 1.5.11* Please make a normal scratch pppplllleeeeaaaasssseeee?????????????????????? ### 4/5 — Very nice but one problem *2026-07-09, version 1.5.11* The app is very good but you can only do four slides, which is kind of annoying because I want to have more slides. But very good coding app for kids . ### 4/5 — Need more controls *2026-07-07, version 1.5.11* I think this is really awesome but it does need rng, colour wheel and more controls and frames. I love making games on this and it’s really simple but maybe too simple and I think there needs to be a more advanced section, kinda like the website version of scratch but a slight bit more simple. ### 4/5 — Wish they would update *2026-07-05, version 1.5.11* The platform is awesome. I am a regular scratch user, and I occasionally just use this for fun to see what all I can do on the go. However I do wish it had more tools and coding blocks, maybe under the concept of being for older kids who want more of a challenge. ### 2/5 — Bad quality *2026-06-24, version 1.5.11* I try to draw a eye for my characters but the app Turing in something that look like a galaxy and and there no space to draw unless your tablet and the only thing I like about this app is where you pose your character ### 3/5 — I like coding but *2026-06-12, version 1.5.11* Can you add Scratch in the characters please? ### 4/5 — I love it *2026-06-08, version 1.5.11* I love it but maybe add 10 page so I can create it more!!!😃also add more people into it (optional) ### 2/5 — Where is it!? *2026-06-04, version 1.5.11* I want the original scratch! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — IT HAS A JUMP BUTTON BUT SCRATCH DOES NOT?!?!? *2026-08-17, version 1.5.11* THIS IS SO UNFAIR, WHY ON SCRATCH WE NEED TO CODE A JUMP BUTTON BUT HERE WE ALREADY HAVE ONE?!?!? ### 1/5 — It is too hard for me to use *2026-08-16, version 1.5.11* The first time I use this, I can’t even use it properly cause I’m a little too dumb to use it I’m just six and it’s too hard so please make it a little bit easier ### 1/5 — Worst app in the world *2026-06-04, version 1.5.11* I hate this please add a tutorial that would help a lot please add ### 1/5 — Pls fix this *2026-05-31, version 1.5.11* I want to play other people’s games like scratch original and I want to download photos and I want more characters and more movement ### 1/5 — What the world is this game *2026-05-21, version 1.5.11* This game sucks, you can’t draw good, only 4 pages, put real scratch on the App Store, can’t make good games, even a 4- year old could not do anything with this app, this sucks, sucking sucks, like bruh, this is a disgrace, hope ya read this review, cuz it’s true, might as well take this app of off the App Store. ### 1/5 — This is worse than normal Scratch! *2026-05-11, version 1.5.11* I hate this so much it’s so hard, worse than normal Scratch! ### 1/5 — All my data gone *2026-04-30, version 1.5.11* Nothing ### 1/5 — Sprites *2026-04-24, version 1.5.11* Bruh the brush is HORRENDOUS and there isn't a way to turn on free hand for it ### 1/5 — DO NOT GET IF U WANA CREATE UR OWN SPRITES *2026-04-18, version 1.5.11* i wish there was zero star. there is no eraser and u can’t change the colour to ur own! this sucks pls fix it.😡👎 ### 1/5 — I HATE SCRACH *2026-03-28, version 1.5.11* AT LEAST PUT THE OLD ONE ON ALL PUT IT BACK NOW ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — I play this at school *2026-08-11, version 1.5.11* Every day when I go to school I play scratch jr with my friends ### 5/5 — Just cool *2026-07-30, version 1.5.11* Coool ### 5/5 — thing *2026-07-26, version 1.5.11* add more colors ### 5/5 — NEW IDEAS *2026-07-08, version 1.5.11* I got new ideas 1: a follow block.
