Contact Hopscotch Programming Support

I’m a bit conflicted about Hopscotch. I do have fond memories spending hours coding and making games, but I don’t really like how it is now. The “Newest” tab isn’t the way it used to be. It only shows select things and that makes me wonder how smaller game makers are supposed to get noticed? I have been featured a few times now, but when I was first starting out it made me really happy to just have one person like it. I really liked Hopscotch, but I just wish that the tabs could go back to the way they used to be. The chance that my project might never be seen doesn’t make me feel motivated enough to start coding. I am also disappointed that you have to sign up for a free trial, or as a student or teacher. This new way of signing up for the app is really confusing, and my friend just decided not to get it. I think that the app should just start off being free, and if the user really wants the premium features they could choose to subscribe.

Edit: So I have been on Hopscotch some more and I now really miss old hopscotch. The new tabs are terrible. They make me physically nauseous. Only the projects that already get likes will ever be seen. It seems almost impossible to get featured. Why do I even try.

Hopscotch is a good app. It’s fun, relatively easy to use, and fun. But what I ran into when coding a quiz game with the screen-in-screen tutorial wasn’t so fun.
I started making it, and I did what she did until I saw her renaming the bold text under her other text, but I wasn’t able to. I brushed it off and kept going. Then I realized she had a variable option that I didn’t have, so I ended up doing something else that I knew wouldn’t work. She kept doing variable things that I couldn’t and when I went to test my game, sure enough, it didn’t work.
I don’t know whether this is because I’m using an iPad, I don’t have a subscription, or she was using a different version of Hopscotch, but I’m very disappointed because I was excited to make a game like that and I wasn’t able to for a reason I don’t even know. Please fix, because I’m probably going to delete this if you don’t change it.

Before I explain my bad experience let me just say this is a GREAT free app and probably even better with the subscription. I wanted to buy some seeds to add what I thought said UNLIMITED pictures and drawings. I added one to test it. When I tried to add another one it told me I needed to be subscribed to add more but wait it gets worse. I thought that meant I could only have on picture in a project but it actually meant I could only have on picture in all of hopscotch. I tried to delete that picture to add another one but then it brought me to the same but seeds thing I saw before I bought it. I am only writing this review so you don’t make this mistake too. This is a great free app and probably better with the subscription but don’t do what I did or you will probably regret it. Hopscotch please make this more clear or just get rid of buying ONE picture with seeds
