ScratchJr - Reviews, Revenue and Downloads - Apple App Store

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 (http://scratch.mit.edu), 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.

Can you make online I wanna see what the users are Comming up with

I WANNA SEE THEIR GAMES I AM SO THRILLED

This is one of the best educational apps

And I was wondering if you could’ve brought back the voice microphone and make letters like the real scratch

scratchjr is slow

I played scratchjr cuz it was slow, cuz keeps getting slow every night and whatever it’s for babies

Can you guys shut up about adding the actual scratch on the App Store?

I’m a scratch user that goes to the scratch forum sometimes, the scratch from 2007 will never come on the App Store because it violates the app guidelines made by apple (the rule where apps can’t have programs inside a program) Scratch jr is made for education purposes only so that’s why it doesn’t have a community feature, to keep kids safe My scratch is 10987678 if you want know more about this

WHY

Dear ScratchJr Workers, The app is great, BUT I CAN’T ADD ANOTHER CHARACTER! This looks like a little project bug to me.

More options

Scratch Jr. is good for younger kids but why only 4 scenes?! Plus, no sharing?! Why can’t I share like the original Scratch? And also make a website for Scratch Jr. There is just a homepage website for the Jr. version. And I cannot make a game for my nephew to play on his phone. Otherwise, this is okay!

Mamma Mia

I’m giving this rate as a four because that I don’t know the riddles you even know that it’s just 2d well I want to 3-D so I can know where it goes can you please please read us whoever made us make fixes do everything that you can

Love it!

This coding app is awesome! My computer hobby is coding, and I really like Scratch. So I downloaded this and it’s so fun the only thing is that why can you only make 4 pages? Here’s an example I made a project called around the world and so it has multiple countries that you tap on to go to that country. Countries: USA, Brazil, UK, China, Vietnam (where my parents are from), Japan, Australia, Canada. But I only could make 4 pages: countries, USA, China, Vietnam, so it makes it impossible to visit the other countries. So please PLEASE can you add the ability to add multiple pages? And you could just scroll down to see the other pages! Anyways, I love this game! Thank you, Scratch Team.

Awesome except one thing

It would be cool to delete sprites in the sprite library

Time is wrong

The 10 seconds feel like 2 seconds fix your time
