User reviews

limited function

no saving to google drive and no text base coding. What is Vex thinking?? if their app is not ready, why are they blocking the web verison from ID.

Text coding

Please add text coding

No Text Option Still

This app is basically useless without the ability to actually code anything.

No Text option

There is no option to switch the code from blocks to text coding

Another update, but we still can’t save v5 projects to Google Drive.

Saving to Google drive is a must have feature for me and my students. I can save to every other cloud service but not Google Drive, which is the only cloud service my students have access to.
