Can’t simply try it

Unfortunately I can’t simply try this app, even its most basic intro features, without signing up for a trail. Subscription required. I’m a firm believer that if an app is good, it wouldn’t need to take this onboarding approach.

AMAZING, BUT…

The only problem is if you have a account on the website, and log on the app, you need to pay :/
AMAZING… but…AMAZING… but…

Not as good as you think.

This app is nice and all but is VERY BUGGY when you clone/add a block it can corrupt with the original texture.

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.
