Reviews

The opportunity to learn and create apps is enticing. This site was an option to click on when I was working on Code.org. Thinking the beginner level of Code.org was easy, I gave Thunkable a try. There are tutorial videos available to lead you through the app software and how to create simple easy apps. While they claim you don't have to know how to code to use it, I would offer otherwise. It is simplistic, but you need to understand the different types of blocks and how they work together to make the app do what it is intended to do. It often needs to refresh the screen as you are building the app. With all the changes made and from what I saw of other app creators as I watched YouTube videos this seemed common.

I would give this App Coding website a 3 out of 5 stars. Not having worked with coding or building apps, it would be nice to offer suggestions of what could work rather than just showing warnings that something is not going to work. - James Brohn
