## ScratchJr Description
With ScratchJr, young children (ages 5-7) learn important new skills as they program their own interactive stories and games.

By snapping together graphical programming blocks, children can make characters move, jump, dance, and sing. In the process, children learn to solve problems, design projects, and express themselves creatively on the computer. They also use math and language in a meaningful and motivating context, supporting the development of early-childhood numeracy and literacy. With ScratchJr, children don’t just learn to code, they code to learn.

ScratchJr was inspired by the popular Scratch programming language ( used by millions of people (ages 8 and up) around the world. The ScratchJr interface and programming language were redesigned to make them appropriate for younger children’s cognitive, personal, social, and emotional development.

ScratchJr is a collaboration between the Lifelong Kindergarten research group at the MIT Media Lab, the Developmental Technologies research group at Tufts University, and the Playful Invention Company. The ScratchJr project has received generous financial support from the National Science Foundation (NSF DRL-1118664), Scratch Foundation, LEGO Foundation, and British Telecommunications.

### ***** "This is great!"
You should definitely get your kids scratch or this because not only is it fun, you can learn things!
-- Penguiny_123, 2024-07-19

### ****- "Good👍 but can you add this please!!!🙏"

-- Kayleighswirl, 2024-07-15

I don’t know how to play games. I found some games to play but I just work on them. I want to know how to play a games. Please make a video on that.
-- The end of this year, 2024-07-03

### ***** "I like scratch junior!"
Hello,I’m writing this about how much I love scratch!

I get to explore my imagination.Although it’s not as big and tech savvy 
The proper one it’s still good. To start it’s better, beacuse it’s less overwhelming. Anyway!, I love making press the button things and Fish swimming in Aquariums. Keep up the wonderful work scratch! 

From I like scratch person!
-- hgbbgf, 2024-06-27

### ***-- "Please Read."
Scratch JR; An amazing block-programming app for kids.

But if you want to make it MORE amazing! :D
PLEASE. READ. ALONG.

Ive always struggled with the amount of stuff i would and COULD&#039;VE created but couldn&#039;t to the amount of simplicity this app has.

So my ideas are to add the following! (each described)

1 - More mail colours/colors
2 - A mail receiver that can play placed in a script, not the starter of it!
3 - More slides, being locked with only 4 is insanely wild.

If you are clearly smart enough to add these in future times, all us scratchers would be delighted.

-Me :)
-- MasonFC_onYT, 2024-05-29

### ***** "Insane"
I’m going to be a game creator my name is dion
-- 👋devin, 2024-04-11

### **--- "It&#039;s a little bit boring."
Please please please please please please please please please please please please update it. It&#039;s gotten really boring, maybe if you add an update like making their animations move or create the ability to make games just like you did in Scratch? Just asking cuz some people love new updates cuz it&#039;s a new thing. Anyways thanks for reading guys, thanks for the effort Scratch Jr, and yeah! That&#039;s it! P.S, please enable Scratch the normal scratch on iPad and IPhone.

### ***** "The best"
Best
-- Marry hunsen, 2024-02-11

### ***** "We need more codes!"
We need the exact codes as the normal scratch, but this app is good
-- xkrkrkfxkfrdktgk, 2024-02-09

### ****- "Characters move too slow"
too slow too slow too slow too slow too slow too slow too slow too slow too slow too slow too slow too slow too slow too slow too slow too slow too slow too slow too slow too slow too slow too slow too slow too slow too slow too slow too slow too slow too slow too slow too slow too slow too slow too slow too slow too slow too slow too slow too slow too slow too slow too slow too slow too slow too slow too slow too slow too slow too slow too slow too slow too slow too slow too slow too slow too slow too slow too slow too slow too slow too slow too slow too slow too slow too slow too slow too slow too slow too slow too slow too slow too slow too slow too slow too slow too slow too slow too slow too slow too slow too slow too slow too slow too slow too slow too slow too slow too slow too slow too slow too slow too slow too slow too slow too slow too slow too slow too slow too slow too slow too slow too slow too slow too slow too slow too slow too slow too slow too slow too slow too slow too slow too slow too slow too slow too slow too slow too slow too slow too slow too slow too slow too slow too slow too slow too slow too slow too slow too slow too slow too slow too slow too slow too slow too slow

-- MJ333🐓🐓🐓, 2024-01-04

### **--- "Why I don’t like this"
1.I can’t make proper characters because when you try to draw it just messes it up

2. Even when I put the same code in all the characters they moved at different speeds(yes I tried the speed thingy)

3.Super glitchy

4. When you play an animation there is no way to set it back to the original position 

5.The characters kept glitching out of place
-- FUNFOREVER!, 2023-12-20

### ***** "Questions for you and your team"
Hi I just wanted to ask your team that can you stop collect everyone’s information? 1 more question why do you need my information for?

I can’t record my voice because there’s no microphone.
-- Jasmine jun, 2023-12-09

### ****- "AMAZING but some problems"
I have had this game for a while now and I love it but I 3 request 

1. Can we please have cats I have checked a lot of times for a update for cats 

2. More types of dogs I love the dog but for a pack of dogs l want more 

3. Pastel colours
-- Smurfjnel, 2023-10-10

### ***-- "Feels abandoned"
Only bug fixes, no new features in years. The app doesnt come with much content like music, sounds or animations. Touch screen support is poor doesn&#039;t handle well multi touch). Its way too far behind the main Scratch product in terms of polish and development. It just feels overall abandoned.
-- fariazz, 2023-10-04

### ***** "So mindful and no ADS"
Nearly every day I go on this game. There’s no ads! And it’s so mindful.
