This is a great coding app! It's a good app to teach kids how to code. I've had this app for quite a while and it's really good for making mobile games. And it's all for free and there are no ads! But please add an option where we can add costumes to sprites, like in Scratch. And add an option where we can edit backdrops.

It seems like scratch, but on your phone. There's no mathematical functions that aren't the basic 4 (+-×÷). It would be nice to see others, like log or powers. The available coding functions are also pretty basic. That's great for the targeted age demographic, but for older people or just anyone who want a more in depth experience, I would recommend Fancade.

I finally managed to fix the bug. I just reinstalled the app and it works! Nice app I just recently made a clicker game and I was surprised how easy it was! This is an amazing app. There is just 1 problem. It lags on low end devices so it's kinda hard to make stuff. Nice though
