Ratings and reviews

I love Scratch on my laptop, and even though on here, the buttons are, admittedly, minuscule; I can't fault the creation process as I am using the app on my mobile - not the intended use. However I would much prefer the app to have an Explore tab like the website, where users can browse for projects, and also compatibility with Scratch accounts.

I absolutely love Scratch and the MIT team who develops it, so I'm sad that this app is unusable in a practical sense. The UI is so comically tiny that even with a stylus it's difficult to navigate, and even more difficult to read. It's essentially the exact same experience as opening Scratch in a browser (where there's no phone version of the UI). Scratch on mobile is sorely needed, so I have high hopes they'll release an update that adapts the UX for it. :(

It's a great app, convenient and fun to mess around while on the go or without access to the website, but it's so dang hard to touch or edit costumes on a phone with my fingers. I hope you'll fix this soon, because I wanna keep using the mobile app! Edit: Well, I guess it makes sense it's for tablets and such, it's a good app then because you'd be using mouse and keyboard anyways!
