Ratings and reviews

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!

It's A Great App! But It still has a few flaws, like not being able to use any of the buttons on the share page. When I tried, I clicked at the same position of a project on the share page, and it opened the project, and neither were the pages' buttons working. I hope this eventually gets fixed. I'll have to check the data files of Android for now until this gets patched.
