The only reason I’m giving it 3 stars is because I haven’t played it yet because it won’t load! I also want to know if you need the disk thingy to play the game. ### 3/5 — Please update app *2025-01-06, version 1.3.7* When I tried to use this app for the first time, it wouldn’t even let me sign in or add my username. So if the people who made the game are listening, please fix the game so people can play it ### 1/5 — “Load Fail” *2024-09-04, version 1.3.7* Just bought and attempted to setup, my son is way disappointed :o(. Can’t create a logon, tried multiple names, keep saying load failed ### 1/5 — Do not purchase. Waste of time and money. *2024-08-16, version 1.3.7* The app does not allow you to sign in. It just says load failed. It’s crazy how this company has not responded to reviews or updated the app based on the complaints. DO NOT BUY. ### 1/5 — Big WASTE OF MONEY *2024-07-13, version 1.3.7* Boo ### 1/5 — app won’t work *2024-07-07, version 1.3.7* Stay away. The app doesn’t even let you sign up. A coding product with coding errors, how ironic ### 1/5 — Utter Disappointment! *2024-03-31, version 1.3.7* My boys, 4 & 6 years old, are utterly disappointed. The app won’t even allow us to sign up to begin playing. Ironic that a coding game can’t update their app so the game can be functional. Total waste of time and money. ### 1/5 — quite disappointed *2024-03-29, version 1.3.7* so i got this kit i wanna say in about 2020? i was just going through old things i had, and this was untouched. i decided to open it and try it out, and saw that the manufacturer company hadn’t updated the app in 3 years. first red flag. i noticed when i tried to sign up, it wouldn’t work. second red flag. i then tried to use my phone and my computer on the website to make sure my ipad just wasn’t glitching. the website looked super outdated and old, to the point where it wouldn’t even load. i had no luck signing up there either. please don’t waste your money or time on this kit because in reality, you will be wasting both. the app, nor the website properly function. ### 1/5 — you can’t even make a username *2024-03-26, version 1.3.7* I’ve tried literally every username it gives you and it says load failed. I even tried making my own user name load failed. Do you think they’d update the app if they still selling the products ridiculous. ### 2/5 — Meh *2024-02-13, version 1.3.7* It works on a computer but with a ipad it DOESN'T WORK ### 1/5 — can’t sign up! *2024-01-19, version 1.3.7* Got this as a gift and can’t even use it!!!! Won’t let me sign up ### 1/5 — CAN NOT LOG IN *2024-01-13, version 1.3.7* The app won’t get thru the signup process. ### 1/5 — Broken *2024-01-03, version 1.3.7* Can’t sign up due to server error. Terrible. ### 1/5 — Don’t download *2023-12-31, version 1.3.7* I downloaded and uninstalled it 4 different times and I can’t get it to let me sign in. ### 1/5 — Will not sign up! *2023-12-26, version 1.3.7* This app has not been updated in 3 years. It will not get past the user name sign up process. If the company does not want to maintain the application to operate the toy, then they need to pull all the toys back from retailers, other wise they are not much better than scam companies. Apple and other app companies need to insure the applications they provide for their costumers function as advertised. ### 1/5 — How To Sign Up *2023-12-21, version 1.3.7* So When I Was Signing Up I Kept On Doing Names And It Didn’t Work! I Was So Mad So Fix This People And Me😡🤬 ### 1/5 — Obsolete Product *2023-12-17, version 1.3.7* App does not work. ### 1/5 — This App is Crap *2022-12-26, version 1.3.7* I also should have read reviews of the app before buying the product. The hardware seems nice and raw values are updated, but the coding app itself is crap. Audio turning to static, unresponsive canvas, etc. This is now a ruined Christmas gift. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2026-05-22, version 1.3.7* I mean so you download the game then it give you a name for the game but I tried many different names and they generate random name and it said that the name couldn’t find a server???? ### 1/5 — So Sad *2026-04-26, version 1.3.7* Sadly, we were not able to create an account - very disappointing. Please, update so your product can still be used! ### 1/5 — Having problems *2026-02-19, version 1.3.7* So my teacher that does a coding group bought The force coding kit for her students but when me and my friend tried getting the app it wouldn’t let us log in. We tried lots of different things to get in but it still wouldn’t work. We would appreciate if you could try to update your app in anyway because we were really looking forward to it but we’re sad to see it not work. Please try to do something about this problem even though you haven’t tried to for a while now. ### 1/5 — was so excited but it’s so bad *2025-10-06, version 1.3.7* I got this kit from goodwill and i was so excited to try it but I couldn’t even log in to the app please fix if you are reading do not waste your money on this app ### 1/5 — Doesn’t even let me continue after I put a username *2025-08-09, version 1.3.7* Please fix it ### 1/5 — Not working *2025-08-05, version 1.3.7* Help The game is not getting past the sign up screen This is the same for my cousin who downloaded the game.

They are so excited to learning coding. The app does not work! It’s a colossal disappointment for these young minds. ### 1/5 — BAD *2024-09-20, version 1.3.7* First of all i had an account and unfortunately i didn’t let me get in so i had to create a new one and even after that it didn’t work I was so exited when i got it because it looked cool now its useless ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — You’re coming back? *2025-01-12, version 1.3.7* You said you were bringing the company back and I always love these games so when you come back I would love it if you made it available again? Is that possible ### 5/5 — Pretty good *2021-09-30, version 1.3.7* Hi ### 5/5 — So good!!!!!!! *2020-12-29, version 1.3.7* I got the kit for Xmas and got the app it works for iPad but not kidel little bit of a disappointment but it is okay!!!!!!

Then, love her goodness shake! I love it too. She is a star at coding now. ### 5/5 — Noice *2019-12-27, version 1.3.2* Met my standards ### 4/5 — Good but extremely laggy *2025-07-20, version 1.3.7* I love this game but I have severe lag ### 4/5 — Great Game But VERY Glitchy *2020-03-23, version 1.3.5* I love Star Wars so much. When I got this for Christmas I was so excited. When I opened it up I was like oh my gosh this is crazy, but once I downloaded the app the first thing I saw is just constantly started glitching and freezing😭 I love Star Wars so much and high expectations for the game. REALLY good game apart from that.👍 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
