Comments on Pocket Code: Learn programming for Android

★★★★★ ZEQR · Apr 21, 2026

Catrobat, in many ways you have shown what it's like to be able to code in scratch, and I'm more than happy to say that the experience was really amazing and challenging. I love the beginner-friendly UI, the simplicity of bricks and their functions, it's so easy to keep in mind. I will continue to use pocket code to make my games (and maybe even encourage improvements and updates through these games ✌️😅 I'm really looking forward to how Pocket Code will look in the future)

★★★★☆ Бубубу Бубубубубу · Nov 23, 2025

I like this app! Really close to scratch and works fine but I REALLY need a feature that lets you merge two sprites together. For example: you have a sprite with a character, and a sprite with a speech bubble for the character. So you want to merge them. But you can't! If you could make this possible - please consider it, thank you!

Personally, this is a great game maker even tho it lags sometimes. What im pissed about is how it doesn't show a warning when I accidentally pressed delete. I don't even have any backups. I wanted to rename my project but I instead deleted it. When you press delete, it doesn't show a warming sign, making sure you actually want to delete it and not that you just pressed it accidentally.

★☆☆☆☆ Денис Гмыряк · Mar 20, 2025

Hi, please reply to me, this app is awesome, but recently there's been a bug that sends you to the main menu, every time that you try to import an image in sprite editor, and when you just import an image when creating a new actor, it doesn't show in game, I tried reinstalling the app, doesn't fix it, plus I think you made the moving of blocks worse
