Shame, app is full of bugs

My son loved this with his Harry Potter wand, but unfortunately it’s barely usable and is so bad it’s putting him off coding games!!!

Several things keep happening

1 - the app will regularly hang, not letting you do the next action such as moving a coding block into the canvas

2 - one slightly false tap of the screen can lock the game up or cause the thing you need to move off screen with no way of recovering it

3 - if you double tap the home button to close the app, it can take several attempts to actually get it to close!

4 - buttons can become “unclickable”, very annoying when you need to use them to progress with a spell!

Basically I couldn’t use this app without closing and reopening constantly and having to repeat things over and over again until they worked

On the real Kano! (Pc. Only).

Bug report :

Could be me as it is late at night but !

Draw stick man in vector village challenge:

Terrible app - unusable

I would really like the app if it wasn’t for the the 62 million bugs in it.
I get 10 seconds in one of the games and then I can’t use it.
The picture of what I am meant to do disappears and then I can’t click on anything. 😠👿

Shocking app! Having tried this with my daughter several times, (her thoughts above) this is completely unusable. The app freezes after a few steps, or pushes the coding blocks out of the viewport where they cannot be retrieved, essentially blocking progress. Kano - please user test your products, this isn’t even close to usable.
