    Very dumb game there are no challenges after all everything is easy you can already tell how this is for kids five and under 🙄 honestly I recommend the other game that you made called Hopscotch or perhaps this is for kids not my age perhaps but not gonna lie I gave 3 stars because it is a great game for little kids who are learning to code but I seriously it is dumb 😐 but it brings back memories from when I was a little kid
  • Good for young students

    A excellent app for younger children to start learning about coding. However it is a limited app that really only services the basics. That being said it does the basics very well and it would be a good place to start for younger kids.It has potential to be used in the classroom if they want to get a early start on coding and can be used to transition to other topics in a classroom setting.
  • I like it

    The app is really fun in all but the levels are really easy and maybe some more things daisy could do and I keep getting bugs

    It's very easy and there's no new challenges. Stupid, Dumb, A Dump, Easy and No Good

    I would have gave it a 5, But freeplay mode is a bit buggy. And does not give you unlimited movements. But overall it is great for kids! But please add a grade selection. For grades pre k through kinder a voice should read the instructions. 1 through 6 Or higher should have levels to complete that get (harder)
  • Unusable

    We can't drag the commands to the program area. Every time we do the select text menu pops up.
  • Clunky!

    Got this to teach 5 year old to code. Wanted to love this app, but Scratch Jr. is much better. The app didn't load properly on the latest iOS running on iPad Air 2. The screen was stuck in portrait mode so only can see half the screen (orientation lock was not on). Liked the idea behind the challenges, but for whatever reason the challenges stopped after "when". Not worth the hassle IMHO. Scratch Jr. is much easier to use and has much more features--5 year old was creating own stories and animations after one weekend with Scratch Jr.
  • Lots of fun!

    This is a fabulous intro to coding app. I've used this in lessons with K-5 students and all of them (yes, including the littlest ones!) had great success! It's amazing to watch their faces light up as they create through an iPad.
  • Dancing Daisy is Awesome!

    I used this app with a group of second graders who choreographed their own dance using Daisy the Dinosaur app and everyone had a blast! Super fun and learning the basics of coding is especially nice! Thank you for developing this easy drag and drop block coding challenge.
  • Great beginning to programming!

    Daisy the dinosaur is a great intro to programming to pique kids' interests on the subject. My daughter was playing around with Daisy and making the dinosaur do all kinds of things. It made her hungry to learn more. She was only disappointed there were not more options for tricks and it is more of an intro to programming than something that can challenge her long-term. I am taking software engineering courses and although this doesn't expose kids to much language important for programming, it lays the foundation and visually reinforces what the program is doing when tested.
