If you are poor. Or prefer free. I Do not recommend ### 1/5 — You were alright, and now you’re less than that!? *2026-06-23, version 4.6.1120* I haven’t used your app In 2022-2026, But I’ve come back to remake the review I have made. Let’s start with The Good. The Good: Well, The coding was weird and bad, but was able to make a fully functioning game. Not the best, but not the worst either. at the same time, it was pretty easy. But wouldn’t recommend, These was my past opinion before THAT happened. \\//\\//\\//\\//\\//\\//\\//\\//\\//\\//\\\//\\/\\//\\//\//\\//\\//\\//\\//\\// My Thoughts on what I think is good on Tynker now: No thoughts, There’s nothing creative anymore. There Is only slop projects. The Bad: Literally EVERYTHING Is locked behind a Subscription, As i said earlier, Literally every new projects on this terrible app is slop. And why do you make people comment with emojis? They might as-well comment through projects, LOL. No creativity. Nothing is allowed on this app. Your app will die, And it’s all your fault. 1/5 app based off the App Store rating system (Only 1-5 stars) But i truly mean that its 1/100 on a rating scale, Terrible app. Not worth it. ### 4/5 — How do I upload to more than my phone?!?! *2026-06-22, version 4.6.1120* Hello I think this game is awesome but I only have Minecraft on my Xbox and it costs money and it’s my favorite game and I love to add on addons to my worlds I’d love it if you can somehow make it so that your able to make and upload the items on a Xbox or console if you’re not able to I understand plz fix that🙏🩷🐦‍🔥🩷🩷🩷🙏🤩😊🎉💞🐦‍🔥🐾🟥 I really recommend!!! ### 3/5 — The App *2026-06-21, version 4.6.1120* Community doesn’t work in the app keeps freezing and crashing even though I have the latest update. Every time I click something in the community it just won’t open. Other than that the app is pretty good I just wanna check out the community projects so please re-add the community and fix it please ### 4/5 — Multiple glitches *2026-06-20, version 4.6.1120* Overall great game but it is expensive and I’m having a few glitches First I’m having the same problem as YeahDude_305 with the text and everything second whenever I try to put a “if touching ___” block into a “if/else loop” it closes me out of the app and deletes my unsaved progress so could you please fix that and could you add a Minecraft python please and thank you ### 4/5 — I will now leave tynker for good *2026-06-19, version 4.6.1120* Hi this is jjpartist or RoadsterJJP which is my tynker account so uh bad news about me I am going To officialy be leaving tynker forever like why just why…why does this app always have to unpublish my stuff also i won’t be back bc it is pretty much dead here but I will be posting more on hopscotch /another coding app along side with cocrea(Gandi IDE) and maybe kinemaster which May be my social media app bc I don’t have a yt channel yet so to all of my tynker friends that were in this app I just wanna say Ty for supporting me and that goes to my supporters like I really had fun being in this app and I hope you had fun seeing me post on this app called tynker but I think it’s too late for me to return to this app bc I don’t think there is a solution to this bug bc it survived every single update that the creators did and they also ran out of update ideas so yeah ty for everything and I’ll miss you all and for the last and final time have a nice day/night -RoadsterJJP (Jjpartist) P.S this ISNT because it’s an outdated version of Tynker because I tried updating the app but it was no use ### 1/5 — Overpriced Lie *2026-06-13, version 4.6.1120* The projects you delete are still there! And you have to pay $100 just to get an account! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — THIS APP SUCKS AND YOU SHOULDN'T DOWNLOAD *2026-08-11, version 4.6.1120* IF YOU DONT WANNA WASTE MONEY, DONT DOWNLOAD ### 1/5 — So stupid *2026-08-10, version 4.6.1120* If u make it free I'll use it🤬🤬🤬 ### 1/5 — This is not working please fix it *2026-08-01, version 4.6.1120* When I try to log in the app we have to try again because the buttons aren't working please fix this bug ### 1/5 — Please fix the bug I beg!!! *2026-07-27, version 4.6.1120* I was gonna see the community posts, right? But it only shows 5 PROJECTS AND NOTHING ELSE. I try to check everyday but it’s the same things always! I want this fixed. I want to be able to see new community posts! Now!!! Please give me a response from this time, not 2 years ago!! ### 1/5 — Not worth any money *2026-07-24, version 4.6.1120* I have been on here for four years now. I remember when they first started charging for it, and at the time it seemed reasonable, but since then I have only seen the overall quality of this app go down. It’s packed with glitches that have rendered it almost impossible to work with. And the actual coding experience (if you can even get your code to work) is mediocre at best. Not worth the money and effort. Use Scratch instead, at least the Scratch devs care about their users. ### 1/5 — Notes No.1 *2026-07-20, version 4.6.1120* This is Phantom writing this… well this app is TERRIBLE. We are even making an entire mod series based on how bad this is and why BlockBench is way better. By the way, this is only on the Minecraft mod feature. Are you sure that Copyright is seeing this? I think he sees this. One star! ### 1/5 — Garbage. Period. *2026-07-13, version 4.6.1120* Wanted to create easy mods for Minecraft. Instead got a 10 dollar monthly plan with a stupid 7 day free trial. I’m done with these stupid apps. Plus you use ai for everything so I think scratch can take that title for 1# coding app ### 1/5 — What!!! *2026-07-07, version 4.6.1120* You have to create an account now to even do anything! What!!! And since when did you shift focus from building games to making Minecraft mods!!!! ### 1/5 — This is the worst thing ever *2026-06-28, version 4.6.1120* I downloaded this game and it sucks because when I downloaded the app it says that my account will be deleted in 15 days and I didn’t even share my first project yet so don’t download this go on Safari or Chrome and do scratch. THIS GAME SUCKS ### 1/5 — What!!! *2026-06-27, version 4.6.1120* You have to create an account now to even do anything! What!!! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Good Tynker *2026-08-20, version 4.6.1120* Tynker yo have Minecraft I love Tynker ### 5/5 — Pls *2026-08-19, version 4.6.1120* Good job but make the classes more difficult ### 5/5 — Great *2026-07-23, version 4.6.1120* Best app ever guys ### 5/5 — This is a fun app *2026-07-09, version 4.6.1120* But can you add every single Minecraft block an item, please? ### 5/5 — Tynker *2026-07-07, version 4.6.1120* THE BEST IF UR FREE TRIAL IS USED CLICK PUBLISHED PROJECTS AND ITS INFINITE. REQIERS RESTART ### 5/5 — Amazing!

AND MEGAN? I don’t believe those have blood in them and I can’t upload any thing I was bff with aMYA10 and she got hacked and she couldn’t make fan art anymore if i made it I would fix it but WHYYYY? BLOOD IS OKI? IVE BEEN SEEING THINGS AND MODS WITH BLOOD WHAT THE HECK IS HAPPENING? IVE SEEN A MAP ABOUT ME AND IT SAID IM THE WORST but good ### 5/5 — Good *2026-06-13, version 4.6.1120* The games are very fun ### 5/5 — Good *2026-05-20, version 4.6.1120* I like this app ### 5/5 — Bug makes typing impossible 🥲 *2026-05-19, version 4.6.1120* I love this app but there is a critical bug that happens whenever I try to type something. Whether it’s the name of an asset, variable, or broadcast; my screen will always go completely black every time my keyboard pops up on screen. So then I have to restart the app and I just can’t type anything, which sucks since that means I can’t use variable, broadcast, or any other VERY important scripts. Please fix thisss 🥲 ### 5/5 — Did you guys shut Tynker down? *2026-05-15, version 4.6.1120* Hey there, I’ve used Tynker for years now and it seems that projects won’t update no more and you can publish anything, did you guys shut it down? --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
