Hopscotch-Programming for kids

I know this is a great app and I have many old memories, ranging from when I created a melody that sounded like Bank Account before the song came out to making and looking at some of the cool projects from the community. I can remember this app vividly, and confirm it was a great app. However, I wish this app was still free, because it is great and everybody should get a chance to experience it. But I understand that the greatest things come at a price, so I still give it a perfect 5 star rating. I am lucky I had an old account and could get it back for free. My current thoughts on the app are that it is doing well, and has no actual competition, because Scratch has never actually received a mobile app, and all the other coding apps give no actual codes to kids, and just let you make characters “Walk” or “Jump”. Thank you for making the greatest mobile app, maybe of all time!!!

I’m a bit conflicted about Hopscotch. I do have fond memories spending hours coding and making games, but I don’t really like how it is now. The “Newest” tab isn’t the way it used to be. It only shows select things and that makes me wonder how smaller game makers are supposed to get noticed? I have been featured a few times now, but when I was first starting out it made me really happy to just have one person like it. I really liked Hopscotch, but I just wish that the tabs could go back to the way they used to be. The chance that my project might never be seen doesn’t make me feel motivated enough to start coding. I am also disappointed that you have to sign up for a free trial, or as a student or teacher. This new way of signing up for the app is really confusing, and my friend just decided not to get it. I think that the app should just start off being free, and if the user really wants the premium features they could choose to subscribe. Edit: So I have been on Hopscotch some more and I now really miss old hopscotch. The new tabs are terrible. They make me physically nauseous. Only the projects that already get likes will ever be seen. It seems almost impossible to get featured. Why do I even try.

I’m 17 and I still enjoy making games on this app. I have some experience with actual languages like python and swift, but it is so much easier to pick up my phone and make a game using block coding. I wish there were more features and functionality in the language, but it is still the most advanced block coding language I have ever used. It is pretty obvious that the level of complexity possible on hopscotch is limited based on the bugs and quirkiness that exist even in the best hopscotch games. This, however, seems to be a flaw of block coding languages in general as a trade off for ease of use. Also, I wish that there was a recent tab where you could see levels that were just uploaded without a filter. This would give small creators more exposure and feedback on their games. But overall, it’s really good for a free app.

This is an amazing app and I am learning a lot from it. If you in anyway hesitant about downloading it.... DON’T BE! If you wanna make games and have fun while coding. This is the app for you!!!!! This is especially great for kids because some games that involve learning bore kids, even if they DO want to learn. But this app lets kids learn so much and still have fun. There is a woman who guides you through each already made game. And then once you have gotten the hang of it you have the choice to go on your own and make your own games from scratch. I love this app, if you are interested tap that install button. There is nothing to lose! If you don’t feel comfortable or don’t feel like this is your vibe, you can always delete the app(which I doubt you would want to do). But overall this is an amazing. I totally recommend it!

I love this game and all but unless you pay, you won’t really learn anything which isn’t bad but if your new player it gets kinda annoying. (I’m not new though) To get likes you either have to be 13+ or super good at art. It may of been fun in the past, but MANY old players have said that this game is dying. Hopscotch has done a horrible job up keeping the game. They don’t seem to even know what’s going on in the game, socialwise I mean, I understand haters because every game has them but now anybody who makes a good drawing and says the goody-2-shoes “Hi, I’m new!” Gets on trending immediately. This game is no longer about “coding”. Unless you want a social media to raid and ruin with drawings DONT PLAY IT. The only reason I’m giving it three stars is because the actual coding part is fine.
