Review summary

Tynker Junior is praised for its fun, polished animations and suitability for young children, providing a good free portion. However, users report performance issues like slowness, find the free version limited, and criticize aggressive subscription prompts. Purchasing difficulties, especially involving child accounts and Family Link, add to user frustration, along with poor customer support responsiveness.

Pros

Fun and well polished app
Good animations and engaging for kids
Free part of the app is decent and child friendly
Suitable for young children, especially those aged 5 to 8

Cons

App is slow or laggy according to some users
Free version offers very limited content and is pushy about subscription
Purchasing and subscription processes are problematic, especially with child accounts and Google Family Link compatibility
Repeated prompts to upgrade subscription when progressing to next level are annoying and intrusive
Customer support is unresponsive or slow to respond

2022-09-16	Er*****	The free part of the app is pretty good. My 6 year old zipped thru in about half an hour, but purchasing the additional features appears to be incompatible with Google family link. Seems like a critical feature for an app designed for 5 to 8 year olds. Contacting tynker support went unanswered for a week.

2021-09-22	Bl*****	This app is kind of annoying. I made a account for both of my kids and had their name on it but one of my kids account had it's name that I did not even know where it came from. And when my kids will clicked to the next level it keeps us to choose the payment method wanted me to upgrade the yearly plan. I already have my monthly plan picked but it is kind of annoying that everytime my kids will proceed to the next level they wanted us to upgrade to the yearly plan. They should have to fix this.
