ScratchJr 4+

There is this mail letter thing, you can choose different colors for it to trigger a signal in your coding thing, or, whatever you call what it does. There is only a few colors, not a lot. I don’t like that part, because I have a lot more things to use that mail thingy than just 6 colors. Can we maybe put a text, instead of colors? Like, any text. For example: “car”. And on the character, you put the same text on that mail thingy. And the action happens. Also, why only 4 scenes? Can we add more than 4 scenes? I also want the audio recording quality a little better. There is this noise sound, it makes the recording sound a little glitchy, I also want to have a feature where you can just get audio from your audio library, or video library.
Thank you, I just want an improvement to make coding better. Overall from this, this app is great! Thank you for reading.

I absolutely love using ScratchJr! It’s a fantastic tool for introducing kids to coding and creativity. The interface is simple, fun, and perfect for younger children. It’s amazing to see how easily kids can create their own stories and animations.

However, one thing I really wish for is the ability to add more than just four frames to a project. Sometimes, I want to create longer animations or tell more complex stories, but I find myself limited by the four-frame restriction. It would be great if there were an option to add more frames or a way to extend the timeline to make projects longer and more detailed.

Overall, I think ScratchJr is a brilliant app, but giving users the ability to work with more frames would make it even better!

The drawing tool is hard to use and you can only have four frames. When you draw to create or edit a character, the app distorts the lines you draw and doesn’t allow you to draw anything small. If you draw a curved or squiggly line, it’ll often straighten the line unless it has very dramatic squiggles. Your drawing of a parentheses may end up looking like a straight line or a less than sign. If you’re drawing the letter E, it’ll often connect the lines and make it look more like a box with funny looking triangles. If you’re drawing a tiny circle, it literally won’t appear unless you draw it larger. It makes it frustrating to draw anything. In addition, projects are only limited to four frames, so you’re restricted to making only incredibly simple games/stories/etc. A small selection of only 40 colors also limits creativity.
But overall, if you’re making small, short, simple projects with the pre-made characters, it’s an okay app.
