User reviews

I love Scratch on my laptop, and even though on here, the buttons are, admittedly, minuscule; I can't fault the creation process as I am using the app on my mobile - not the intended use. However I would much prefer the app to have an Explore tab like the website, where users can browse for projects, and also compatibility with Scratch accounts.

This is awesome! I mean there are tutorials in the app, on youtube and 6oy dont even need to learn a programming language just get bricks together and there you have it. A game with no experience before this was released i used pocket code but since it was really limited i disnt have anything to use but they released scratch! It has everything tou need if you're stuck dont worry you got tutorials on the app and youtube!

Was excited to see this was on the store to download until loading into the app and realizing the UI is unnecessarily tiny even if it's made for tablets. It'd be extremely convenient and appreciative to have the UI adjusted for mobile screens. I'd love to mess around in Scratch on the go on my phone and not on a table I don't even own..
