### 2/5 — Nothing is showing up

*2026-05-20, version 553.1.0*

I downloaded the app I, logged in and then when I get to the home screen where it shows me the step-by-step tutorial along with my project I have nothing popping up. I’ve let it sit there for a while, and I still have nothing showing up on my screen to continue on with anything else.

### 2/5 — It’s stuck

*2025-12-27*

So I downloaded thinkable and I can see the app that I made perfectly fine it’s just that I can’t do anything when I click on home an I tried to click on tutorials but nothing happens and I can’t start a new project all it says is filter projects and step by step tutorials and when I click the settings button all it says is sign out or delete account

### 2/5 — Doesn’t work well

*2025-10-10, version 523.1.0*

The app doesn’t reliably allow me to test app on my phone.  The projects search bar never works.

About half the time the app I am testing won’t load.  

Sometimes if I switch apps while testing the new app will load.

### 2/5 — NAH

*2025-07-18, version 511.1.0*

### 2/5 — Broke within 5 minutes

*2025-06-25, version 508.1.0*

I only got to the second tutorial before the app broke. Closed it out multiple times and redownloaded it. Screen just goes blank when I click view code. Was looking forward to this app, chat gpt recommended it.. oh well I guess.

### 4/5 — Very Beneficial

*2024-11-01*

I just recently started working in Thunkable so far so good the only issue I have is in order to see a refresh version of my app, I have to uninstall/reinstall this app not sure if that’s the right way. Also there’s a disconnect between what I revise on desktop vs what I see when live. Other than that, super cool way of making developing apps easy for those of us that have no coding experience.

### 2/5 — Glitch

*2024-06-04, version 459.1.0*

Cool

### 4/5 — Cool

*2024-05-18, version 456.1.0*

This is a really cool app. I used Thunkable for a school project and this app helped me use it to prototype it. I highly recommended this app if you are trying to code something.

### 5/5 — Good

### 1/5 — Not working

*2026-08-09*

I wish I could add screenshots to this review but I download Thunkable when I click step-by-step tutorials nothing happens. I click my projects. Nothing happens. I click settings. It goes to log out. I don’t have any options for this app. I have deleted it reinstalled it and still nothing works. I don’t know what else to do. I heard good things about this but so far it’s literally just an app on my phone that once I open it, it doesn’t allow me to do anything but logout.

### 1/5 — Don’t waste ur time

*2026-08-05, version 564.1.0*

Absolutely nothing works just a screen with project and tutorial but u can’t even access them absolute trash

### 1/5 — Thunkable is horrible

*2026-06-10, version 558.1.0*

If I could give this app negative stars, I would. This app is the worst tool for coding anyone could ever use. Code completely changes from desktop to mobile, nothing works, and it cant handle any usage of JSON, lists or timers. This is truly the bottom of the barrel of apps, and is pure slop. It’s constantly pushing AI in your face, and it is aggressively freemium, forcing you to pay for more screens and more than 3 projects. It’s completely impossible to debug, as it has the option to show you crash logs and the code it generates but doesn’t even give the user access to these things. Version control is locked behind a paywall too, and if you wanna make even a slightly large project and have it not bug out and not save, forget about it.

### 1/5 — Does not work

*2026-05-17, version 553.1.0*

When you press my projects nothing happens

### 1/5 — Getting started

*2025-04-21, version 498.1.0*

This app will not let me open create a project or search for a project on here

### 1/5 — Not working

*2025-02-28, version 491.1.0*

Was recommended by Grok 3. IOS user. 

Downloaded the app. Did all the tutorials and that is all it allows me to do. Can’t even start my first project. 

The images in the tutorial steps also weren’t even the same as the actual menus. Maybe it was good at one point but doesn’t work and needs updated if if did. Seems like updated menus but not tutorial. But I guess I will never know because the app won’t even let me start a project. 

I was excited but if the programming can’t even get their own app to work properly I definitely wouldn’t be using it for myself!

### 1/5 — TERRIBLE
