It starts easy, but once it gets to functions starts really making you think. It felt really rewarding to put in the commands and watch him go all on his own. But then once I got to recursions, level 6 specifically, I just couldn't figure it out. Totally stumped me. Used the 3 hints I had left which just told me what I'd already figured out, but couldn't progress from there :/ you should be able to keep playing levels and come back to a tricky one later on.

WAS enjoying the app. I really felt like I was getting the hang of it, but then I got completely stumped on recursion level 6. Had to use all 5 of my hints right there. The hints proved I was on the right track, however they didn't help me at all with the part I was confused about. It was like a teacher kicking you of the class and giving up on you because you couldn't get past one question. I would atleast like the opportunity to continue on to the next levels and conditionals. 👎😔 Not helpful

The app is very practical. I rated a four start as I think the lessons at the beginning could remain basic for a.few.more steps to reinforce the concept. My 47mth old son lost interest quickly as the concept map changed to quickly. He liked the celebration of completing but it was short lived as the course increased in technicalities. Now this by no means is acting the app is not good. I was looking for something with fun for his age to stimulate the thought
