GBNOT SO GOOD The gameplay, and coding activities are fun but... *You can not demo or model this game as a teacher if you signed in through Clever (they won't even give me another account to sign in so I can play it even though I have paid for a subscription already.) It is hard for kids to scroll down to basic levels as there is no scroll bar, so if you are using laptops, PCs, or Chromebooks, it is very hard for little kids to do it. It often kicks kids out after they finish level 8, afterwhich, they need to go back to the homepage, scroll down to the level they were on, click on it so that level 9 shows up. “Game stuff" should be at the bottom and the coding levels should be at the top. Some of the answers they provide on their guide (Kite Plight) are WRONG. There should be an arrow so students can easily switch screens between levels 1-8 then to 9-16 (or 17) There are often problems going back to a page and there is an error. You have to reopen it, log out, then open it again to log back in, very frustrating. After contacting them, they don't seem to be too interested in fixing anything.

GBThey renewed my subscription without my… They renewed my subscription without my approval (I had cancelled before the renewal date) and refuse to refund it. They blamed it on Apple, but I have documents from Apple that it was not charged through them! DO NOT GET THIS APP! Now I have to worry that they will do it again next year!

GBThis class taught my children so much… This class taught my children so much about the game and was a kid-appropriate introduction to coding. My kids loved it. Their teacher was terrific, and it was a small group which made it easy for the teacher to be attentive and give each kid attention for troubleshooting. I will be doing another one!!

GBThe classes are really fun and… The classes are really fun and immersive. Children learn and play at the same time and can meet other friends that are interested in the same game. Teachers are super, super friendly and patient. They listen and are very helpful.

GBMy daughter told me about codeSpark… My daughter told me about codeSpark Academy after learning about it on YouTube. We set her up and she's been enjoying it quite a bit. She shared some games she made after only a short while. Then, we learned about the Game Maker course so I signed her up. She's only been to two of them thus far but she's learned a lot and is eager to attend subsequent classes. The teacher is patient and very knowledgable. The class is small so each child gets a lot of personal attention which I believe is key to a great experience. We are very happy with codeSpark Academy and I'm planning to sign my daughter up for more classes in the future.
