User Reviews

Users praise mBlock as beginner-friendly with a Scratch-like interface that works with Makeblock robots (mbot, Codey Rocky) and supports offline coding for learning. However, recurring issues include Bluetooth connectivity problems on iPad, limited device support (mbot2) and mobile use, and upload/execution glitches that sometimes require desktop firmware updates. Additional criticism centers on it feeling like Scratch rather than offering a distinct mobile experience, and on missing or buggy blocks/extensions (e.g., motors/servos).

Pros

Scratch-like, beginner-friendly block interface.
Works with Makeblock robots (mbot, Codey Rocky) and supports offline coding.
Good for learning coding with quick, hands-on robot projects.
Relatively straightforward once a robot is connected, enabling practical experiments.

Cons

Bluetooth connectivity issues, especially on iPad (permissions problems and recognition stalls).
Limited device support (mbot2 not supported) and mobile use not fully supported; some tasks require a computer.
Upload and execution failures (code not running on the robot; firmware updates often needed via desktop).
Perceived Scratch clone with limited originality and missing or buggy blocks/extensions (e.g., motors/servos).

Recent reviews

As far as I can see, there is no support for mbot2. That is a serious limitation to backwards hardware.

I can only connect to Cody when I have an mbot2. How am I supposed to connect to Bluetooth to my mbot2?

It can’t detect the mbot despite this is the official app. The other app for controlling the mbot works so it’s not a hardware issue. This app doesn’t work so coding isn’t possible.
