I just want to learn

By Starlight_sno (Pcmac user)

Hello, I’m 14 and my school doesn’t have any classes or really anything on coding and I would love to learn how and where to start and all that, so I took it upon myself to learn how. I saw an ad for this and hoped for the best. I downloaded it and apparently you must pay monthly for this. I understand it’s how they make their money and what-not but I’m only 14 and, of course, can’t do monthly payments especially since my parents are both poor and against the idea of learning from something other than what the school teaches us. I haven’t actually done any lessons or anything because I would have to pay which is why I gave 2 stars instead of 1 because the lessons could be amazing an work really well but I’m pretty sure and kid who actually wants to learn and not be forced to do something like this by their parents or school would love it if their were a stripped down version of the app that one could use and learn to do at least simple coding would be greatly appreciated by anyone looking to learn who might not be able to pay because of the situation their in. Besides, shouldn’t education be free? Especially for kids who want to learn?
OMG AWESOME

By hellothere2009 (Pcmac user)

It takes a long time to load, but I really enjoy everything about it!! On the second time it speeds up. And Absolutly NO ADS I love this game but it makes you d9 the 7 day free trial and now I did it. I do not know how to cancel it 😾. Please put a more noticeable X on the trial so people can press cancel. I love this game of coding a lot!!😻😻😻 I’m very glad to participate in playing this game today. Thank you for making such a great coding experience for children. I am 10 years old and I think this is the best learning game yet. I pray that the makers can really help children one day...🙂🤩
Unintuitive contra productive interface

By Application 558 (Pcmac user)

After paying and signing in, first page doesn’t lead to anywhere. It has two active buttons, parent and teacher. After repetitive unavoidable filling out of my birthdate in both categories, teacher page leads nowhere, parent page leads to another page which doesn’t recognize that I am signed in, nor asks for it. Only one time showed up a page through same selection process with downloads, which was the only way to play one lesson and that was it. To get back to that page is through a labyrinth of repetitive actions, but still never showed up again. That alone is quenching user experience, and I will unsubscribe this application. I am not happy somebody published this application which feels like it’s early beta version (not to be published developmental stage). Hard to believe MIT was involved with this unless interfacing is very underestimated, outsourced and weakness of a brilliant mind which I was hoping can teach my child what I cannot.
Subscription approach is ridiculous.

By MeOriginale (Pcmac user)

10 dollars a month to use an app. Seriously? It used to be free to use and pay for add ons. I understand the need to earn money but who in their right mind thinks it makes sense to spend 120 dollars a year to use this app? You can pay a one time payment less than that for full access to professional apps, games, software, etc. out there of equal or better production value. No offense to the developers but, making a point. This should be a one time payment offering that includes a sampling of different games and development access. Then added costs for downloadable content. Subscriptions of this type are just a way to take advantage of consumers and milk them for money whether they use the app or not.
