App doesn’t work on smaller screens
Trevor Hartman

The code editor looks to be designed for iPads and won’t function on iPhone or iPod touch screens.

Pretty good

I use this on my iPad. I build most projects in 10-15 min. I wish there were more projects for Bluetooth Tesla kit.

Won’t work on phone

When you open the app on the phone the section where you connect your LightUp it doesn’t show the whole menu on phones but still good app keep up the good work.

There's more to it!

This app is an add-on to a set purchased in a toy store or something. Not a stand alone program. Difficult to rate since I don't have the set.

Locked content

The available content seems great but for whatever reason I cannot access any of the later Tesla sets. As such, I can only access the first three sets. Even upon completing all three available projects, The later projects all show lock symbols.

Interesting, but flawed

Wonderful electronics kit. I was an original funder for it on Kickstarter. I purchased the large "Pro" kit. That's where the first rub comes in. The app only actively supports the "Edison" and "Tesla" kits. Sure my kids can read between the lines, but support for the kit purchased would have been nice. This however is not the part that make this a two star app. The major issue is the staged learning design. It leads you though your learning step by step in a rigidly controlled manor. Annoyingly rigid. Each lesson is padlocked to prevent non-linear use. Why?it sure doesn't facilitate discovery. Now my child had created the first three circuits. The app would not unlock the fourth through no reason we could discern. There is no documentation and no way to override the lock. So now the app portion of the kit is fairly worthless. Basically this app needs more time in the oven before it's ready to facilitate learning.

Overpriced

For a young child the Edison electronic set is a great intro to electronics but it's shameful this kit costs $49. My 8 year old got this for a gift and he did everything in about 10 mins. Again, this Edison set is nice but it shouldn't retail for more than $15-20. The app worked just fine for us but it wasn't anything revolutionary and the lessons are very minimal. I expected a lot more for the price.

Crippled app, most everything is locked

Bought the deluxe everything kit from kick starter , but the app is unusable. Kit is cool, but doesn't meet the potential promised in the kick starter. We are unhappy.
