Move the Turtle: Learn to Code

Been looking for something to help teach my 8 year old son how to program for a while. This app is almost perfect for the job. Agree with some of the other reviewers comments, in particular with the comment about the objectives. I haven't played it enough and there maybe an easy way to re-read the objective of each level, but I haven't found it yet. This and a few other minor issues mean I still need to help my son to complete the objectives sometimes, but what else are parents for? Overall, more than happy with the app.

Great first learning tool for my 10 year old. Not to hard not to easy. A good challenge. Would really like more 'exercises' at each stage to consolidate what has been learned. Turtle was engaging and fun. Thanks look forward to much more.

This is a great app that really bring new colorful life to the old school "Logo turtle" back life. The character is cute, I like the way of using icons, slide bar and tap to do programming. Also the brilliant idea of getting the turtle to find/hit the diamond with trees as obstacles. Most of the Logo functions are there. Some suggestion after spent about a hour playing it. 1. Need some sound effect. The sound command in app is brilliant but we need some sound effect either a light background music or sound when the turtle hit the Damond. 2. A soft button to switch between task list (programming area) and turtle moving ground. I use my iPhone to play with it. Current version in game mode I will be given the challenge with the location of turtle, trees and diamond. But once I am in the programming page I can not go back to see the challenge page until I select to reset the level. This is kind of annoying because sometime I just want to adjust the distance to move and don't want to redo the whole procedure again if the developer can add a soft button that allow user to switch in their next update will be a great help. Overall a good educational app. Looking forward to your next update.

Good job on creating this game

Won't even open. Was looking forward to this game for our kids but can't even play it.

This is an interesting programming app. I like the layout, graphics and price. We tried Hopscotch with a class, which was a disaster. This is much more straightforward, but could use some tweaks to make it easier to use with kids. Some of the directions are confusing. With more detailed directions explaining cause and effect, this would be 5 stars for me. For example, why does the turtle need to change colors to achieve a goal? The app says that there is a problem that needs to be solved, but as a user it doesn't seem that way. Some of these details seem counterintuitive, but not so much that I wouldn't try this with a group of kids. This is definitely worth evaluating!

Hi there, this was a good game but has so many issues on iOS 8. App freezes with icons disappearing or completely missing. I hope someone is looking into fixing it. -s

Great app! My son loves it.

Tnx for this awesome app :)

My first encounter with computing was in the 1st grade in the early eighties where a used a program called Logo on an Apple IIe and would move a "turtle" just like this. Hope to inspire my little ones.
