Top Pcmac Reviews

  • Great in the classroom

    By Laura Bangerter (Pcmac user)

    I volunteer in my 1st and 3rd graders classrooms once a week teaching computer programming and this app is wonderful. The best part of it, compared to other apps/websites, is that it encourages testing because it doesn't frown or tell you are wrong when you run an incomplete program. I was impressed that the 1st graders were able to work through all the puzzles up until loops (still not sure if teaching loops as recursion is the most applicable and/or ideal). The other nice thing is that it is easy to use in the classroom where kids just grab a random ipad because there are unlocked puzzles at each level group, so they can mostly remember where they were and pick up from there and you don't have to fuss with logins, passwords, saving, etc.
  • Ok

    By Bwof (Pcmac user)

    Did not engage my 6 year old. She played for only a minute or two before losing interest. You set up sequences of commands for a robot to light some squares and then play them to see if it works. This is not much in rewards for success or guidance for failure and many very similar levels. Good if your child finds the problem interesting, but many in the target age range will not.
  • Great introduction to problem solving!

    By James R Bauer (Pcmac user)

    I teach 5th grade students python and use this game as a primer to teach problem solving. The iPad game has a lot more content than the flash game and it steps up the difficulty at a much friendlier pace (for students) than the other the app games on the market!
  • An amazing "game"

    By Jeremy Joseph (Pcmac user)

    A terrific app that my 4+ year old daughter and I have played with every night since we downloaded it. A total win.
