LightUp Learning 4+

When you open the app on the phone the section where you connect your LightUp it doesn’t show the whole menu on phones but still good app keep up the good work.

Wonderful electronics kit. I was an original funder for it on Kickstarter.

I purchased the large "Pro" kit. That's where the first rub comes in. The app only actively supports the "Edison" and "Tesla" kits. Sure my kids can read between the lines, but support for the kit purchased would have been nice. This however is not the part that make this a two star app.

The major issue is the staged learning design. It leads you though your learning step by step in a rigidly controlled manor. Annoyingly rigid. Each lesson is padlocked to prevent non-linear use. Why?it sure doesn't facilitate discovery.

Now my child had created the first three circuits. The app would not unlock the fourth through no reason we could discern. There is no documentation and no way to override the lock. So now the app portion of the kit is fairly worthless.

Basically this app needs more time in the oven before it's ready to facilitate learning.

I use this on my iPad. I build most projects in 10-15 min. I wish there were more projects for Bluetooth Tesla kit.
