Really fun for my child. She says she loves it. This in our opinion is the best coding app in the world. She learns a lot as well as has fun all in one. Her favorite games are the Candy quest, Lost in space, and dragon journey. Then, she has too many favorite projects.
tynkers gone really downhill. First,it removed a minecraft mod (I never downloaded it but it sounds good), its bugs updating have no effect at all like if i try to move the land button it freezes and I cant complete the level. So NEVER download this app except if you want to see how bad it is
Right now I cant really do much, it won't let me click on somethings and it's really annoying. It may be becuse my tablet is a Samsung, but still. Please fix this to where this is not a problem, I will rewrite my rating as soon as this if fixed.
It is the best game ever I think you should play all the time you can make your own things and gets to play other people's things it's so fun to play neighbor baldies and all kind of that stuff I love you should play it.
This app helps young people lean how to code. It has chapters in coding. and at the begning you get to pick a egg and you dont n know what dragon you get.It is totally approariate.At bryant elementary in the library you play this game in 2nd grade.this game is the best.
Good well I kinda like it! When I was younger I really liked this app because I liked creating my own stuff. I might just try real code though because I want to learn. I want to be a programmer one day. But its cool and good.
My Game Keeps Taking Me Away From Tynker When I'm Coding. I Was Making A Project That I Just Started And DID NOT Save So I Had To Do It Again. I Saved Then It Happpened Again. This Makes Coding A Real Pain. PLEASE FIX THIS!!!! btw Good Game Though
its a really fun game, coding and stuff. but the thing that gets to me that i love, is breaking the games aka changing the codes so break the game.
I love it but fix in the next update. My saved project sometimes is gone why would you do it. Please fix it in the next update.
I use on my school iPad, but on this tablet I use it lags terribly and whatnot. I have used it so I know its potential and therefore gave it the stars it deserves, but I want to have it on my tablet as I love it THAT much!
I really love coding on this game but since i made my games on an ipad it wont work beacause all my games say it is not compattibale for this update. Please fix this!!!!!😐😐😐😐other wise good.
at first it was fun until. IT DELETED EVERYTHING I CODED. I WAS WORKING ON A PROJECT FOR NEARLY A WEEK AND IT DELETED ALL MY PROGRESS, ALL MY SPRITES, AND ALL THE CODE. AND IT REPLACED ALL THAT WITH NOTHING! FIX THIS AND PLEASE JUST RESYNC MY PROJECT. I WORKED VERY HARD FOR THAT PROJECT.I was making a fps game
It's a great way to code games, but it needs more coding blocks. other than that it's great!
Hi! So i like this game but it does not have very good graphics. But its fun. I made a Peep Clicker. 😂😂
It's not fun at all I can only play one game which candy quest and can not download any other games can you fix it please?
I love this I want to be able to search other peoples' content and custom sounds if I picked you to add just one it's custom sounds
Its good, but I can't make MCPE textures! Do you know why? Is it a bug or something? Please reply.
Horible. My time on my tablet is timed, and when ever I got off my tablet, it just opened on up! Otherwise it is amaze.
i love this game i have it on my school tech so I downloaded it at home and it really helps children learn how to code
its ok but sometimes the game deletes your project and if you have more than 10k on your accout it would not let you get to featured
I hated this when I was loging in on my account it was telling me that I enter invalid password when i was entering valid password and makes you rage and very slow loading takes ages to load :(
I love coding on it, it is good for begginers and intermediate! It is super fun I LOVE IT SO SO MUCH
This app helps me allot when it comes to coding and makes me smater. Getting 4 stars makes me happy GET THIS APP
I like the game BUT 1 bug, I finished all the levels AND I'm sighned in AND I got 3 stars on each one
nice coding app for children .we can learn learn programming easily and in more interesting way thanks please like😀😀
I was expecting better. I got it to use for making minecraft mods, and i was extremely dissapointed.
Built for older android? And is slow and buggy/glitchy?
IT WON'T SAVE. Everytime you try to save your project, IT DOESN'T SAVE!!!!!! IT GOES BACK TO MY PREVIOUS SAVE. Sometimes it decides to work. Also the paint option is absolute garbage. There's no select tool, you only get about 20 colors and it doesn't even respond half the time. It's like a downgrade from MS Paint. This app is so slow and takes up a lot of space. DON'T GET THIS APP.
