★☆☆☆☆ JustJake · Mar 22, 2021
I love this app very much, it helps me code when I don't know to come. Because of this app I am fluent in python, java, JavaScript, c#, c++, c--, python script, swift, and kotlin. It's safe to say I'm a programming wiz.
★☆☆☆☆ Karin Bean · Nov 24, 2022
I hate the new update. The sprites become harder to tap, and even in show mode, you'll still be able to accidentaly delete sprites. Please fix it!
