I hate the new update. The sprites become harder to tap, and even in show mode, you’ll still be able to accidentaly delete sprites. Please fix it!
I love the app (I am a kid). It is great. I have made litlle videos, games, and some projects that are there to play around with. One thing I would like though, is I would like it if you could do more scenes. Besides that this is a great game.
It’s kind of good in a way but it’s like I don’t know how to get into it
I like it but I have two issues: I couldn’t change the pose for a character and I want them to face the exact degree I put Another one is that you can’t put your own image as your background It’s fine but just add more characters for arthur
This app is so good! I actually like it making projects, except I am not using the app right now on my Android, but I did enjoyed it on my iPad, including my Android, which once again, not using the app right now, but still, I enjoyed it, good job! 5 stars! 👍
Not just for 8 plus. My 6 year old did great with it. We used along with PBS Wild Kratts challenge. For my Girl Scout Brownie troop we used it for intro to coding badge!
I LIKE THIS GAME BECAUSE IT MAKES IT SOUND 🔊
Took over, my open with apps.
It’s pretty like scratch but u can’t make games well I like scratch but scratch jr won’t because there four frames more frames on scratch jr can be hacking and it’s a bad idea so try not to hack this at home
This game is so fun you might want to play it it’s like more learning games I hope your kids like it it will be fun pbs.kids created this game it was so fun for toddlers and all the other kids they’ll play it everyday it’s so fun though it’s so fun really fun some toddlers have some fun with this app download it on the Play Store you can play it on an iPhone even iPhone 12 you can play on a Android you can play it on anything so fun no one can stop playing it is there anything the App Store
I really like the game but it keaps erasing all of my hard work and it is really frustrating if you fixe this i would give you five stars
I rate 3 stars because sometimes it was wasted my time from the waiting thing up (and I can go to full screen) and please I don’t want the waiting screen.
One day I had a PBS kids tablet that was really are really old pretty much I had this game on it and I will make cool stories very fun please install just just tell me if you have any problems anyways goodbye
Hello its me @tv_cat on scratch i just tried this app out and it is so fun! right now im making a platformer!
It’s so creative also I like polar bear quest & making different sounds and no glitches & I rated it
I barely like the app because whenever I try to press the home button, it says “waiting.” 🙄
my granddaughter loves PBS kids. so many games and things to learn.
This game is really cool but I wish I can make more than 4 scenes.PLEASE IM BEGGING YOU!!!!!😭😭😭😭😭😭😱
I could describe this game in multilanguage. But 🍔🤡 sh*tty FABULOSO! FANTÁSTICO! AWESOME! COOL! GREAT! GOOD!
I love this app very much, it help me code when I don’t know to come. Because of this app I am fluent in python, java, javascript, c#, c++, c–, pythonscript, swift, and kotlin. It’s safe to say I’m a programming wiz.
You can’t do anything it just comes a black screen and nothing happens please fix it now
I want this app because I already have regular ScratchJr & PBSkids ScratchJr sounds great!
This is a fun game but can you put Daniel tiger and all all the other ones
It is a great application that is a great deal about the new Pbs kids❤
I have no idea how to work the app still but i made me a martin from wild krats kiss😍
Wide it up so I can fresh it up a little bit and call it a day so I can freshen up the air in the game.
Well, I used to have this app, but it’s now inappropriate for my age, i’m 9 years old
It was horrible it was so glitchy and has guns and knifes and stuff like that in it DONT DONLOAD IT I REPEAT DONT DONLOAD
Yo I agree with James well it’s like a copy of scratch Jr well people don’t care about it
It’s a bit hard to control the characters
Amazing, love the app definetly for ages 12 and under
I love it so much and I like that it has Wild krats because Wild krats is my favorite

There is just one problem. I am going to make a new picture or scene and I can’t do that. Is there a limit?
