| 2024-10-19 |  | | Its a great app for making games but i do have some issues, 1st its hard to rezise when making new sprites, 2nd the widgets are little, everything else is good, i do recommend this app but i hope they add a feature to change the widgets size. Overall 9.7 / 10. |
| 2024-10-11 |  | | 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. |
| 2024-06-30 |  | | 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! |
| 2024-05-13 |  | | 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.. |
| 2024-02-13 |  | | I absolutely love Scratch and the MIT team who develops it, so I'm sad that this app is unusable in a practical sense. The UI is so comically tiny that even with a stylus it's difficult to navigate, and even more difficult to read. It's essentially the exact same experience as opening Scratch in a browser (where there's no phone version of the UI). Scratch on mobile is sorely needed, so I have high hopes they'll release an update that adapts the UX for it. :( |
| 2023-12-23 |  | | It's A Great App! But It still has a few flaws, like not being able to use any of the buttons on the share page. When I tried, I clicked at the same position of a project on the share page, and it opened the project, and neither were the pages' buttons working. I hope this eventually gets fixed. I'll have to check the data files of Android for now until this gets patched. |
| 2023-08-28 |  | | Love scratch, login would be nice, but at the end of the day saving and loading isn't difficult. Awesome program. Also, to those worried about phone compatibility, this app isn't for phones. This app is for tablets and Chromebooks where you can actually properly use it. |
| 2023-08-18 |  | | Great app! I love the fact that you can import/export games to the website from the app! Only inconvenience is that my phone screen is too small for the buttons. It would be fun if you could either add A) a zoom in/out feature, or B) make the button size customizeable. Overall, it's perfect! |
| 2023-06-24 |  | | I have been using the website version for 1 year and 8 months and it is very easy to use. There are no ads and you can basically code whatever you like on there. Scratch is always growing and becoming a good way for other people to express themselves. If you are looking forward for block coding I would recommend downloading this app. |
| 2023-01-14 |  | | Mojor potential This app is great and I wish it had these Key elements: Display support (if I'm saying that correctly) It really needs to fit the screen not all devices have a big screen My 8" tablet is not a wide enough display for this app And a quality of life change would be it gives me a million dollars for every 5 blocks of code And I also would love to see interactive tutorials! :D Thank you for reading To: scratch team. |
