Comments on micro:bit for Android

★★★★★ Benson Baker · Aug 20, 2025
I am loving coding projects on my microbit on PC and I thought it would be fun to do it on mobile, but I can't for the life of me figure out pairing, I'm fine coding on PC, but it would be nice if pairing was explained a little better, same with connecting it to scratch, I couldn't get pairing to work, other than that, VERY fun software to make little programs, so interactive, so user-friendly for beginners, and more advanced programmers, and nothing beats seeing the little red pixels light up.

★★★★★ Jonathan Austin · Apr 18, 2024
The new version works perfectly - now prompts to enter Bluetooth mode whenever necessary and much clearer how to get connected
★☆☆☆☆ Mike · Feb 13, 2022
Useless front end for microbit website, except this app manages to break the ability to import hex files stored on the tablet. Pairing is impossible to achieve, so no actual direct microbit programming anyway. Better off using a tablet browser for kids programming experiment, then use computer to drag kids hex files directly from tablet onto microbit. Baffling this is so difficult for Samsung to sort out.
★★☆☆☆ James Preston · Sep 27, 2021
Installed this for Bluetooth flashing for kid's phone, but it is not really functional. Using a V1 device and Android 11 you can pair okay, then half the time you can flash the device once (rest of time flashing process hangings) and you can NEVER flash again without unpairing and re-pairing to then having another 50% chance of flashing exactly once again. After first flash error message is always "DFU CHARACTERISTICS NOT FOUND" until re-pair. Sigh. Back to USB.
