“Hopscotch is the best way to express your imagination! Most other "learn to code" apps just make you complete boring levels with 4 "move" blocks, but in hopscotch you have the freedom to create anything, which is amazing.” — BuildASnowman, Hopscotcher

“This taught me sooooo much about basics of coding. I have been able to make some cool games I hope to learn more as I advance this app was extremely helpful and easy to learn.” — BestBeginnersCoding, Hopcotcher

“I had ZERO background or programming experience. I personally checked all 8 or 10 of these blogs about recommendations. And Hopscotch was the most intuitive and interactive. It’s not like you’re just playing video games. My daughter loves it!” — Mom, S. to daughter, 8

“I am a 4th grade teacher who LOVES your app. Our students have been introduced to coding through it and I am impressed with the creativity they have shown and the skills they are building while creating projects.” — Kelley, 4th grade teacher

Editors’ Notes

With its colourful, friendly interface this app lets you have as much fun making games as playing them. Kids (and grown-ups!) can build all kinds of apps, and then share creations so others can play them too.

Gra 😒

Sama gra jest fajna, ale minus jest taki że nie ma języka polskiego (XD nie ma innego niż angielski) Gra jest świetna! Pozdrawiam i myśle, że dodacie język polski (lub inne) 😇

Good effort but half baked

Too simplistic to create complete game that’d teach kids the game design.

Edit after developers response: Thank you for taking time to reply. Yes, I did look into „featured” projects and perhaps I haven’t checked all of them, but those that I looked at felt like simple ideas for presenting Hopscotch’s features more than actual complete and bugfree games (eg see the helicopter game that openly admits that it sometimes does not work properly). Which is fine if you take into account that this is kids app after all, but if I wanted my kids to follow a good/interesting example, there seems to be none. Perhaps my expectations are too high, I myself begun to learn programming in the 80’s with BASIC and Logo, then Pascal, then later C/Perl/Ruby and it probably skews my view. I’ll be trying this app from time to time to see how it grows.

Developer Response ,

Hey there, you can create both simple and complicated games on Hopscotch, because it is important for us that kids who just started to learn how to code have an easy and smooth way up ass well as kids who are experienced Hopscotch users to be able to improve their skills. Have you checked our section "Featured" with all the amazing projects that Hopscotchers build? You might also want to check our forum where there are kids who can help you get the most from the app. Ana
