ScratchJr: A Fun and Easy Way to Learn Coding

ScratchJr is an amazing app that is perfect for coding beginners, especially kids who want to learn how to code in a fun and engaging way. This app is not only easy to use but also teaches patience and creativity. Although it sometimes lags, it doesn't take away from the overall experience of using ScratchJr.

Features

  • Fun and engaging way to learn coding
  • No ads, first free app with no ads
  • Great for school and home use
  • Helps kids learn how to code easier
  • Allows users to create little skits using coding blocks

I love ScratchJr because it allows me to make stories and games, and it's perfect for kids who don't know how to code. It's also great that there are no ads, making it a perfect app for kids to use without any distractions. Although I'm not sure why I can't download it on tablets and Chromebooks, I still like the app.

ScratchJr is not only great for kids but also for adults who want to learn how to code. It's a great app to start with before moving on to more advanced coding languages. ScratchJr has made my childhood and now I'm making games thanks to this app. Without ScratchJr, I wouldn't be making Sonic animations and games in Scratch and Unity.

Although ScratchJr is a simpler version of Scratch, it's perfect for kids who are just starting to learn how to code. It's also a great way to bring back fond memories of playing with Scratch in kindergarten. However, for original Scratch users, it may be a bit confusing.

One user reported that their daughter used ScratchJr for school and loved it. They didn't encounter any problems with the app. However, another user reported that their projects kept getting corrupted. Although the app fixed the issue after waiting for a few days, it's still a bit of a hassle. Additionally, some users reported lagging issues, which may be due to older devices.

Overall, ScratchJr is a great app for beginners who want to learn how to code in a fun and engaging way. It's perfect for kids and adults alike, and it's great for school and home use. Although it may have some issues, it's still a great app that deserves a 5-star review.
