Bad app
Never get this app it does not teach you code.I’m on here for 20 minutes and it does nothing to tell me it just makes you play around and do your own play not learn.if you get it you will be board and unhappy so take my advice it mite be free but get one you have to pay for that will help you. So never ever get this app.
