4.6 out of 5
Hey this is Why I don’t use this app Any more

The Reason Why is because of Issues That can make people quit pretty quickly! 1) A Lot of The time I use a Mob texture It looks Nothing Like How The Showed How It Looked And How I Made it Look! Ex: With a Creeper I made For a Roblox Minecraft Doors Map Got its Legs Back When I removed Its Legs Without putting Them back!! + Some of them look nothing Like what Tynker showed and What I did! 2) When I had My parents pay for it and when ran out and when I tried to get them to get The access Again me and my parents Released it got more Expensive then it should be! Thats all of the Issues! Also When My account on there was “LJPlayz1775” I think it show it lower case Except for the L When My Account only has lower case Letters In were it says Plays after The P! And Were it says LJ It stands For something meaning you should not have it lower case Ok?

I won’t let me do anything

I won’t let me do anything no mater what I do I deleted it and re-download it and it still says error and make new account. It still says error no matter what I do it still says error. Can you please fix this bug? I’ve made like a new account five times and do anything and the one time I signed in with the previous account, it deleted all my work it let me do some stuff for a while and then all my work was gone because it stopped letting me do stuff for you for reading this please fix this. I really liked Tynker until it won’t let me do stuff. I also able to play on it for an hour and then I left to go check something and now I can’t do anything thanks for reading.

review

I used to play this app often, it allowed me to be creative and it was a great app. but I was surprised when it said that you had to pay to use it. 25 dollars a month. in my opinion, that is WAY TOO MUCH. I read some reviews and i saw this app reply that “you have to pay a small fee it helps support our staff” or something along those lines, and i understand that but you seemed to be doing fine when it was free. that is 300 dollars A YEAR. you could just add some ads or something- anyways there are similar and better programs FOR FREE. I recommend using scratch, it’s similar to this app but it also has multiplayer and much better games. if you are paying to use this platform, get off of it. maybe they will change it.

have a good rest of your day!

You have to get at least a $25 subscription to even USE the app

My subscription recently ended and since then, I haven’t been able to even use Tynker without it asking me to get a subscription first. Even when I did have the subscription, about every two minutes, you would be asked to get a more expensive subscription. All this company wants is to scam little kids hoping to become a coder and bait them into asking their parents to upgrade. It doesn’t do anything, it just charges you less frequently and more expensively. But of course a little kid wouldn’t know that and I’ll bet not many adults would look into it first so this app would just get more cash on a daily basis. I recommend looking deeper into this and seeing other peoples experience with it before you get it, and make sure that you or your child is really going to use this on a daily basis and also keep in mind, the more expensive the subscription, doesn’t mean it’s better.

Trash😡

Who ever made this game should be fired because of many reasons 1: why would you want to make a Minecraft skin if some of them are not even in Minecraft!! I mean who even is super this app? Reason 2: it almost takes $30 to get a free trial! Do you even know how much money that is!😡 Reason 3: Minecraft already has a coding game called block coding page you can only get it on the computer but I think you can still download the creation on to you phone or IPad. But on this app you would take forever trying to make a new creation and when you put it in Minecraft it will just glitch out sometimes! And Minecraft’s block coding page does not do that! And finally reason 4: When you put a new mob in Minecraft from this app it will glitch! And here are all the mobs that will glitch Villager, zombie villager, zombie, husk, and turtle! And that is why I hate this app😡

NONEXISTENT Customer Service

I got Tynker for my son so he could play with coding on this summer. He loves STEAM workshops and stuff like that, so I thought this would be fun. I signed up, and there were problems immediately. I couldn’t log on, it said the password was wrong. When I would hit “forgot password“ it will tell me my email address didn’t exist, even though I had received confirmation of purchase emails from them. I contacted customer service three times via email and they only got back to me once I said I was going to tell my bank to cancel the charges. The issue was fixed, but then I was not getting the 40% off the membership deal that I had been offered when signing up. After a lot of searching I found a phone number to call. I called three times and left messages twice. No one ever called me back. I emailed two more times and no one got back to me. I finally just gave up and had my bank cancel the charge.

WHY

This game thought 3rd grade kids are babies. I made a game like the door riddle you do in 2nd grade or something, BUT IT GOT DECLINED. You said it had murder, but it didn’t. Well, actually, there was a few options that were dark, BUT SOMEONE DID THE SAME THING. AND YOU SAID IT HAD CURSE WORDS. IT DIDN’T. EVEN IF I SPELLED CAPE WRONG, I DIDN’T SWEAR. I can’t even make a Minecraft command block! I can’t even get my funny (and amazing) mobs in! Scratch and Hopscotch look better. The gallery has so many bad projects. The projects on featured are just ones that Cody moves where you finger is. Do not download Tynker. So low QUALITY! And once in a while it dosen’t let me add another character! I literally throw fits about this! 😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😢🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬I can’t add even a tone! Tynker WAS CREATED BY ONE DUMB TEEN WHO PROUBLY IS RUDE DON’T DOWNLOAD! and sometimes you have a warning saying “this project isn’t supported by the version of Tynker”. THE APPS LOOK GOOD! Please do not downloaD!

Good overall, but toxic community and unreasonable declination

Tynker inspires me to my dreams, which makes me want to be a software developer, it is my right level, but there are major things that make this app not so perfect anymore.. this app has a community where you can publish your projects, but Tynkerers are being really toxic and starting drama. this app is a coding app, not a social media platform! Please upgrade your declination system. But this app goes way to far on declination. this app declines projects for no reason. One time, they declines me with no provided reason. They declined someone for putting a bible quote! this app plays favoritism. this app lets unpopular people post projects with bad words that stick out. this app is a challenging app that I would try to consider, but not on the spot. this app is also unreasonably declining projects, like N00bcatt, I was really upset about that. Please restore those projects, I am begging you. this app isn’t really a nice coding app, but some breaking rules would supposedly get through the moderation. (THAT IS TRUE.) My user is named CL, and I will help you, N00bcatt <3 I would prefer Scratch over this app, but I like the easing blocks.

WAS good, but I have no idea why this is happening

I’ve recently reinstalled this app because I played it last year. I made a simple project, saved it, and published it. Weirdly, it didn’t say “In Review”, it just “published”. But when I refreshed the page, it was back in “Unpublished”. Anytime I publish a project, it unpublished and doesn’t say it’s In Review. Once again, I have no idea why this could be happening. I’m on a fresh new free-trial account, did the correct steps to publish it, and it’s the latest app version. Could you give me info on why this could possibly be happening / why it is happening and how I can fix it without just telling me to contact support? Thank you.

Edit: I’ve found out the reason, nevermind🤣

Would give five stars but doesn’t deploy animal resources right

The skin packs are fun and fine. It’s the Minecraft animal packs I don’t like. I deployed them, but each pack I deployed didn’t work. They sounded the same, and didn’t look quite right. I play Minecraft a lot, and I wanted to add on, but this app wasn’t worth it. Plus, I hate that we start with so little content. Seriously 😒! I already finished Space cadet and Dragon spells. Warning ⚠️ people! Those two coding games are all you get, plus some tiny little coding instructions. Even the Minecraft resource creator was limited! Even the coding character choices were limited! What kind of app is this! Icyfur of FireClan OUT.

P.S. I hate that you limited the Minecraft mods!!

Read this before you download!

I'm a really great coder and stuff. But, there are a few things I hate about it! One: my projects are now taking for ever to be reviewed! What is up with that! It's been taking MONTHS for my good quality projects to come in! Two: I posted a game on my laptop which would've gotten featured. But no. Instead it got rejected! There are vampires, and the mention of blood. But no violence or anything bad! And further more, I saw it got rejected on the this app APP! I was using my laptop. Plus, there were no rules against my game. This proves my point that this app is treating their viewers like babies! On Scratch, everyone would’ve loved it! Three: make the site a bit more for older kids! I mean, why do you even have a monster for a mascot! Adding to this review, a lot of the games here (excuse my French) ARE GARBAGE! I also use scratch, so I know the huge difference between this app and Scratch. On scratch, most of the community projects are more advanced and fun to play! Most of the games I see on this app are…Not that good. So in conclusion, this is NOT worth your money! You can easily get on a better coding platform for free! But you choose to go here. Dat is all. 💄❤️ ouuuuutttt.

Why?

Well, I make lots of projects, but I switched to Scratch because the community makes lots of bad, bad projects. I searched up 2048 and the this app community makes very bad looking tiles that just moves to where your finger is. When I look up 2048 on Scratch, they actually put effort and the game is similar to the real 2048 game. The tiles move like they are supposed to, the tiles add up, etc. Another problem is that you won’t let us make the rest of the Minecraft mobs. Another problem is that in Minecraft, you won’t let us type our own commands into the system. You can’t place command blocks with the editor. Also, you have to manually create a variable to place a command block. Another problem is that anybody can report anything. If I report a featured project, IT’S GONE. You don’t even care to check. Also, I’ve made a good project that converts numbers like 420 and 69 to Roman numerals. SOMEBODY REPORTED IT FOR NO REASON. I have reported many projects because it made me a bit frustrated that people who are in 5th grade makes this stuff.

Awesome!!! but a few bugs...

I love making stuff for minecraft but some stuff I have made won’t show, like.... it not showing all the animals I made and also my big brother has the Same bug, but... instead of animals it won’t show his items can u plz do this because theses bugs are stoping us from doing a lot of thing in Minecraft like making a Pokémon world witch is what we are trying to right now but since I can’t see my animals in Minecraft I can’t and I am making a an Eevee and a pikachu ao plzzzzzz fix this cause I really really want to make a Pokémon world thx I would aprishyante if u did srry if u wrote APRISHYANTE wrong but maybe it’s be cause we need to pay and that why I can’t but also I have made a bat and flamingo /witch is a chicken and it won’t show thx

Thx I love this game but plz do cause I can not wait any longer I really want to make the world

Hey, I’m “kagexlvii” and I just needed to document something here..

So today I made a project, and I was about to post it in public. After I posted like normal, my project did not had the “In Review” on the thumbnail, and then my project got sent back a few seconds later..It was kinda unusual to see my one of my that I made sent back after a few seconds without any warning, if it were, I would’ve gotten some news from my “⚡️inbox” that my project got declined. I tried everything such as uncluttering some of my old projects out (deleting them) and cleaned up my device’s storage to see if those were the issue (I thought). They weren’t. Please fix this bug, I just got back on this app after some months (probably half of a year lol) when I still knew my account was still payed to play only at school (I suppose) 😭 but yeah, please fix this issue and respond back

Great app, But..

So this app is a GREAT app! I love this game,I can make cool animations, And Post projects and have a lot of fun! But there is a few cons, But everything else is really great and fun! So, My account is Bright_paw, And I’d like to get a few glitches fixed. Cons:So, One of the glitches is posting. So I tried to post a project, (Saying I had to leave this app) And it went into the published projects, but it didn’t have the purple, ‘In review.’ Then it went right back to projects. I’m not sure if I got reported or something! If this is a glitch please fix! :] Another thing is that kids…Ship each other, or be like, “I’ll tell you who my crush is.” That happened with me, With another tynkerer named “glitch.” Also, Can you please make it so you can’t report Featured projects? Some tynkerers report them for no reason. Pros: LITERALLY EVERYTHING ELSE! Tynker is AMAZING, Keep up the good work this app! Anyways, That is it. Thank y’all, and keep up the good, Amazing work! :] -Brightpaw

Add skins color block Tynker

I have found how to make filters but there is no skin color block to make it work I need it because I have found how to make something go to a color on the screen so if I could make it go to the skin of the person and make it go to the face and I add a filter on there face could you pls add a skin color block it would help more than just me it could help other ppl and I will upload the demo that I was going to use but was unable to with no skin color block I will name it “add skin color block this app so I can make a filter”

I wonder why

I love this coding app, but there are things that you can add. It may result in more users. Here’s one. A suggestion is to add a function so you can grab and move around the object you drew. Just make it similar to scratches design studio. Another thing is the sound. You can’t record. I suggest adding that so we don’t have to use most of the sounds it provides. The final thing is to add contents from the laptop version. We could really use what you aren’t providing. No offense, but if you want to make it great enough that I use it daily, try adding these suggestions.

Wow amazing!

Tynker is great for kids and very educational for coding. There is difficulty, but every time I mess up Tynker helps me. I have 3 favorites: the Barbie coding, the dragon coding, and the astronaut coding. I am 10 years old, and am going into 5th grade. I know this will give me some idea of how my year will go, since I can now figure out my problems. This was, and still is very educational, and I would recommend this too any young mind wanting to learn and study coding.

For the company who made and coded Tynker, I would like for you to know, that I am very grateful that you put Tynker into the world.

Thanks! And stay healthy.

Falling behind badly

Ok I love this it’s way to amazing (I love it a lot) BUT Minecraft got some updates that happened and there is a lot to do but you people (not the people who read this that don’t work for this app) need to update this have the 1.16 update added to this because there’s new block items textures everything new in that update also all that I typed so you (again not the people who aren’t working for this app) I still love this though also I can’t make anything mincraft like I can’t make any Minecraft things I hate it

Awesome but the BIG BUG

PLEASE FIX THE 3D MODELS ITS SO ANNOYING it looks fine when you are eating it but when you use
It in Minecraft , it looks like it was thrown in a blender snapped in half thrown down a mountain stitch back together by a toddler and given to a professional makeup artist and edited out all the gore so that it’s a colorful pile of flesh and it has been like this for years now so please fix the mobs and everything else is perfect thank you would suggest buying UNLESS YOU ARE A PROFESSIONAL MINECRAFT MODDER
