Features & Capabilities

Scratch is the official app for Chrome and Android tablets that empowers millions of kids worldwide to learn coding by creating interactive stories, games, and animations. It offers a rich library of characters, backdrops, and sounds, or lets users create their own. Scratch supports connecting to physical devices like micro:bit, Makey Makey, and LEGO MINDSTORMS, enhancing hands-on learning.

With offline capabilities, users can build and save projects without internet access. Sharing is seamless—export projects locally or share within the global Scratch Community by creating an account. Educators benefit from numerous free resources and tutorials designed to integrate Scratch into classrooms efficiently.

User Reviews

Users praise Scratch for being beginner-friendly and educational, with strong creative potential to make and share games. However, mobile usage suffers from small UI elements, readability issues, and lack of parity with the website (social features, multiplayer, cross-device login). Bugs and stability problems on phones/tablets, plus saving/copying and cross-device project visibility are frequent complaints. Overall, it's a capable learning tool, but the mobile app has significant usability and feature gaps.

Pros

Beginner-friendly and educational, great for kids to learn coding.
Creative platform to build games and projects, including fan-made games.
Community features allow viewing and joining other users' creations.
Overall positive, engaging and fun coding app for beginners.

Cons

Mobile UI is hard to use due to small buttons and text; readability issues on phones.
Lacks many features and social capabilities from the website; limited cross-device syncing and login visibility.
Bugs and stability problems on mobile/tablet, with glitches and occasional asset deletion or pixel issues.
Saving, copying, and cross-device project visibility are limited or missing (no easy save/export, cross-device project access).

Recent reviews

The lack of proper zooming in renders the app nigh-meaningless when it comes to detailed sprite-editing... let alone the strain your eyes have to go through to read any text! Additionally, despite the fact that this isn't intended for use on a phone, SOMEHOW I was able to hit "Install" anyway.
