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

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
Unplayable

Interactive window is offset and will not correct itself, despite multiple forced closures and reinstalls.
Great for students

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)
It's a Good Start

Fun concept and fun illustrations. The drag-and-drop interface is very hard to use. Sometimes the whole app dragged under my finger???
Neat app

This app really does teach the basics of computer programming, which is really cool, and it is simple enough for very young kids, BUT...kids have to be able to read well to learn to play it. It would be nice if the app had an option to read the instructions to you, so younger kids could learn it independently. The character, Daisy Dinosaur, seems to be for very young kids, and the instructions are certainly simple enough for them, if only they didn't have to deal with the frustration of using early reading skills to stumble over the words. I think Daisy is a bit too cutesy for older kids, but they would feel more confident in reading the instructions. If parents don't mind reading the instructions though, the commands are easy to read for beginning readers, and kids as young as 5 or 6 could play it once they learn how.
Probably just me

I clicked the daisy support and it just takes me to the front webpage. I can't find an email or anything to contact the developers. I would like to contact them to get help for the issues I write below. The challenge mode works well and is a good way for kids to learn. I downloaded this on 4 different iPads. My plan was to use this to teach following directions. For example, "Make daisy 1)Jump five times using one jump, spin, and walk backward- GO" I have many students with following 3 step directions as their goal and I had high hopes for Daisy. However, in freeplay mode I could never get the commands to move up. The last one you can see is turn and the ones below you can't see (grow, shrink, spin) and I could not find a way for those to scroll and be accessible. I also had the entire app "move" up and down when you touch the screen. Anyway, the challenge mode was a lot of fun for the goal: following directions. I had the kids read it and figure it out. It was really challenging for them- but fun! I would like the freeplay mode to work for me though. It is a great idea, just "buggy". Or at least it was for me.
Great idea but limited

I loved Logo back in 80s and Daisy is a very good idea for young kids but there are too few options and I don't see a way to save your programs. In free play mode I would like to be able to repeat a different number of times instead of just 5 and it would be nice to add more objects so Daisy can jump to touch a star for example. Please update and I would be happy to pay more and give 5 stars.
