This is not working please fix it

When I try to log in the app we have to try again because the buttons aren't working please fix this bug

Please fix the bug I beg!!!

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!!

Not worth any money

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.

Great

Best app ever guys

Notes No.1

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!

FAQ

What is Tynker?

Tynker is a comprehensive coding and AI platform designed for children. It provides an engaging curriculum that allows kids to learn programming concepts through visual blocks and transition to text-based languages like Python and JavaScript. The app also offers features for modding Minecraft, creating AR apps, and exploring robotics.

What coding languages can my child learn with Tynker?

Tynker starts with intuitive visual block coding, which is easy for beginners. As children progress, they can transition to learning popular text-based languages such as Python, Swift, JavaScript, and Java. This gradual approach helps build a strong foundation in programming.

Is Tynker free to use?

Tynker operates on a freemium model. While some basic features and tutorials may be accessible for free, a subscription is required to unlock the full curriculum, advanced features like Minecraft modding and AI learning paths, and cross-platform access. This subscription provides comprehensive access to all content.

What kind of Minecraft content can be created?

With Tynker, children can create custom Minecraft mods, including new skins, mobs, and blocks. They can use code to build instant structures within the game or modify the behavior of existing mobs. These creations can then be deployed directly into Minecraft for endless play.

What age range is Tynker suitable for?

Tynker is generally recommended for children aged 8 to 14. The platform's curriculum is designed to be accessible for beginners while also offering advanced challenges for those with more experience. The visual block coding is ideal for younger learners, and the transition to text-based languages caters to older children and aspiring developers.
