### 1/5 — This doesn’t work

*2021-02-03*

So I was trying to do a tutorial or watch videos 
                                                                but when I pressed on the video, It took me to a black screen.

### 1/5 — Doesn't work too well.

*2021-01-02*

I got this app recently and opened it up to watch a video in it but instead of a video I got a black screen.

### 1/5 — Whyyy

*2020-11-03, version 1.4*

### 1/5 — Does not work

*2020-10-29*

Trying to get into the app but it’s not working

### 1/5 — Don’t get this

*2020-04-01, version 1.4*

I thought it was a actual coding thing but NO I REPEAT NO. It’s just videos of HOW to do it and no actual coding. Also, only 50% of the things shown are available, everything else needs to be bought with the FULL VERSION which is like $2. And not even good ones. So. Lame. Like, don’t even get think about downloading this. TRUST ME. You’ll see.

### 1/5 — Would not recommend

*2019-09-18, version 1.4*

Unfortunately for me, bought the whole pack before investigating further. I would not recommend this at all. It’s just a bunch of instructional videos I can get on You Tube.

### 1/5 — SCAMMER!

*2021-11-23, version 1.4*

David Phillips is a scam! I thought I can make my own scratch! D is a liar! 😡

### 1/5 — Only videos

*2021-11-08*

I played Scratch at school so I wanted to download it. ButI got this and I only fond videos, not the coding stuff. Not fun.

### 1/5 — Ads all the ads

*2021-11-05*

I am doing research for a good first time kids coding app. If you want to watch a video you have to watch an ad every time, then because the video is a recording on a desktop the video is soooooo small. Not a kid friendly app.

### 1/5 — Black out

*2021-05-03, version 1.4*

The app simply does not work - black screen.

### 1/5 — This does not even work

*2021-03-13*

Please fix that

### 5/5 — It does have only videos but atleast i can see the past!

*2023-07-09, version 1.4*

Seeing scratch 2.0 tutorials kinda make me feel old you know?

### 5/5 — I love it

*2022-09-02*

You should get this app it is awsome

### 5/5 — Good this is a 5 star

*2021-11-28*

I know that some people don’t like this but I do a LOT. This helps me for ideas on ScratchJr. This is the best app. Even when it’s not the full version. I LOVE IT!!!!!!!

### 5/5 — Terrible

*2021-10-28, version 1.4*

Do not And I repeat do NOT download this "game" cause its just a total scam
I really thought this would help me with my programming skills but I'm wrong
Btw subscribe to Griff patch, he makes real vids on scratch

### 5/5 — Good

*2021-03-07, version 1.4*

This is so good

### 5/5 — Only videos but I found a way to use it

*2020-04-02*

Soo when I downloaded it was only videos beacause I am learning about scratch and since it’s only videos I have got an idea to share it to everyone 1) download scratch on a computer or laptop. 2) you watch the videos and do the tutorials on the computer or laptop. So it’s like you download in a laptop or computer and you watch the videos and do the tutorials on the laptop or computer see so first think before you act don’t give bad reviews but then I read the whole thing AND IT SHOWED THAT THEY ARE DOING TUTORIALS first read everything not only download you people are just saying it’s bad it’s bad don’t say that I bet they are kind and humble in real life sooooo THINK BEFORE YOU ACT AND MABYE READ EVERYTHING BEFORE GIVING BAD REVIEWS!!!! >:(

### 5/5 — Cool

*2020-03-15, version 1.4*

The app is great and does what it was designed to do, which is give you tutorials. Some idiots giving feedback said they couldn’t create games. It literally says “Tutorials”. That means it doesn’t let you make a game. It just shows you HOW to make a game.

### 5/5 — Really good

*2019-12-20, version 1.4*

I mean you can code it’s so cool

### 5/5 — Good

*2019-03-25, version 1.4*

We use scratch at school and it’s SOOO much fun all the kids love it. I’ve just got the app but I can’t find how to actually do it. I can only see the ‘how to do it’ stuff but I’m sure I’ll figure it out

### 5/5 — Read don’t you see!

*2019-03-03*

People are like it’s only videos but it’s tutorials dummies! Think before you leap!
