## Review summary

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).
