Hatchicons
Read full descriptionHide full description
Hatchicons is an app specifically designed for children ages 5-9 to use with the Hatchling Robotics Kit! Children assemble blocks to code the kit to move, light up, make sounds, and respond to sensors. Hatchicons is an icon-based programming language, so pre-readers can build foundational computer science skills. Hatchicons includes two different levels to gradually expose children to more concepts in computational thinking: Level 1 introduces sequencing. For example, children connect blocks to control the kit's motors or lights. Level 2 introduces parameters, sensors, and control. These allow children to make fully featured programs that respond precisely to sensory inputs. Requirements: This app requires a Hatchling Robotics Kit. The app connects to the kit via Bluetooth BLE, so make sure Bluetooth is enabled!

Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Hatchicons at Free against Foldify's $2.99. Hatchicons also leads on rating (5.0 vs 3.9) and device support (4 vs 2). Foldify's advantage is ratings volume (19 vs 1) and chart position (#182 vs unranked). On ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Hatchicons is free to download; Foldify costs $2.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Hatchicons holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Foldify has 19 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
