User Reviews

Reviews praise Kodable Basics for being fun, educational, and creative, with strong coding lessons, abundant customization (fuzz/pets/avatars), and a Maze Maker feature that supports creative play and classroom use. However, recurring complaints center on pricing and subscription frustrations, including lifetime vs ongoing payments and perceived hidden fees. Some users also report gaps between school and home access, such as needing teacher involvement to access avatars or mazes. Overall, the app is well-liked for learning through play, but cost and access logistics are common sticking points.

I purchased the lifetime subscription after my daughter had been playing the free version, but when I tried accessing the subscription, it took me back top the plans to pay again. I was unable to resolve the issue with Apple and I am disappointed that Kodable does not have direct customer service support to address these issues.
