Pairing
At first I can’t pair this app with a new microbit. When I have eventually paired it, it works amazing.

Description
The micro:bit app is the essential companion to the BBC micro:bit, the pocket sized programmable computer. The app allows you to flash any micro:bit hex file to your device, as well as including online access to the Microsoft MakeCode editor for simple block-based programming. When your program is ready, the app beams it to the micro:bit via Bluetooth wirelessly. Easy-to-follow screens lead you through the process of pairing your iPad (or iPhone) to the micro:bit and then transferring your program code.
Compared with previous versions, the micro:bit app Version 3.1 contains these additional features:
• A simpler pairing and micro:bit discovery flow
• The micro:bit V2 can be put into pairing mode by triple-tapping the reset button
• Retrieval of the micro:bit data log files from off your micro:bit
• Pair with any number of micro:bits
• Choose which micro:bit is currently connected
• Store HEX files in the app
• Choose a HEX file for flashing
• Export and delete HEX files
• Import stored HEX files directly into JavaScript Blocks editor
• Rapid download from JavaScript Blocks editor
• Monitor data detected by micro:bit sensors
• Use the range of micro:bit Bluetooth services in real time
• Display messages on the micro:bit LEDs
• Send control commands to the micro:bit buttons and pins
• De-bug your program code while it is running in the micro:bit
• Use a simulated gamepad to send commands to the micro:bit
• View camera images ready for taking photos or video
As well as providing more flexible handling of your program scripts and HEX files, a major addition in Version 3 is the Monitor and Control page. This lets you observe real-time data from the micro:bit sensors, send messages directly to the LEDs and control the micro:bit buttons and pins from your iPad or iPhone. Monitor is ideal for exploiting Bluetooth services in real time, and for de-bugging your program code while it is running in the micro:bit.
The MakeCode code editor now requires iOS 13 or later.

Not MicroPython
It’s a shame. This app uses “makecode python” which it describes as “TypeScript surfaced with Python syntax”. So the libraries differ greatly. It would be great to use the iPad as an alternative to writing code on a computer. But for learning (micro) Python from the various excellent books & tutorials this will not help beginners
Doesn’t save
Good, but only saves for up to 2 months (About). 😤 Got two of my main projects deleted!😡😤😡
Achin
Nightmare to connect and download a program
Amazing
Amazing
Doesn’t connect well
Although this app seems very fun and good for coding, the pairing takes a while and when I try to flash the code it doesn’t work very well. I would like future updates for The Bluetooth connection or some advice on how to keep it connected with the microbit. Other than that this app is fun and great for people who would like to code using a phone.
