Tickle is "the most awesome blocks programming environment for iPad". Program drones to flip in mid-air, robots to move through mazes, and Star Wars BB-8 Droid to patrol and guard the galaxy! You can even program Arduino wirelessly and build custom robots.
+ “There are a lot of games and puzzles now that promise to teach kids how to code, but Tickle stands out.” – TechCrunch
+ "'School is SO fun.' Thanks @tickleapp for teaching us to fly!" – Hillcrest Elementary
+ "Unquestionably the best experience for programming Sphero. Lots of fun." – @ECiardelli, Math and Learning Resource Teacher.
+ "The most awesome blocks programming environment for iPad." – @moenig, Lead Developer of Snap! (UC Berkeley's Computer Science course CS10).
+ "Seriously loving the amazing new @tickleapp for iPad. Drag and drop programming for real-world objects like @Sphero" – Adam Bellow, Author and Educational Technologist.
Tickle is the world's first app that enables anyone to program an air drone. It's also the world's first visual programming app for the Star Wars BB-8 Droid, Sphero (SPRK) robotic ball, Ollie 2-wheeled robot, Parrot Rolling Spider, Airborne, and Jumping Sumo mini drones, Arduino LightBlue Bean, Philips Hue smart home lighting system, and Dash and Dot by Wonder Workshop – all wirelessly from your iPad. You can also program interactive stories and games using our library of animated characters and sounds.
All the devices, Arduino, and virtual characters work seamlessly with each other. For example, you can use Sphero like a Wii controller to fly a drone. Makers, makerspaces, and makerfaires around the world are empowered by Tickle to interactively and wirelessly program Arduino.
Tickle is easy to learn, yet incredibly powerful. Learn to code the same way as the introductory Computer Science courses at Harvard and UC Berkeley. If you've used Sphero MacroLab, orbBasic, Scratch, Pyonkee, Hopscotch, Tynker, Blockly, and Hour of Code, you'll fall in LOVE with Tickle!
Tickle Robotics Edition is inspired by visual programming languages like Scratch from MIT, Alice from CMU, Blockly from Google, and ScratchJr from Tufts/MIT. It is generously supported by awesome Kickstarter backers.
Reviews
Amazing robot programming studio
SamPattersonEdD
This app allows my students to program Sphero robots and Parrot drones. In our K-3 programming club the use of code makes the drone flying a great deal safer than remote control. Using block based code is familiar to my students and they got started fast! This tool is a must have piece of my coding curriculum now!
Could of been great. Flawed

It needs the Internet to work what's the point then? You would just use scratch then seance that is on the Internet. What I want to work on the go but could not because no internet any were to use it.
Great app, it needs copy and paste
BC Purshe
This app is great and it is fun to program with it. It would be extremely helpful to have a copy/cut and paste button on the app for repeating code. If the developers see this review, PLEASE add it because it would make this app 110% better.
killed my rolling spider
1hour19min
overall, I loved the look and feel of the app, but it does not communicate with the rolling spider drone correctly. the developers of the app obviously had no idea how the parrot drone works. the app will put your spider into indoor/wheel mode by default and gives no choice. it screws up stability and limits settings, etc. if you run tickle on your rolling spider, beware. major problems, and the app doesnt work anyway, theres delays etc between 'commands', and tickle does not properly destruct command objects for the spider if theyve been overridden by a new command before the previous one was done (the only way to micromanage the drone using tickle) Also, could not run this app offline. thats two thumbs down right there.
This app is great!

In tickle you can program things to do some cool things.It can make animations and program robots!My favorite part is to program robots, you can make them do funny things that you couldn't do with the normal controller.
AMAZING

I love it! Thank you , thank you, thank you! I can finally program on iPhone instead of ipad????????????????????? I love you! On next update you should add a draw rule ?? you know like make the characters able to draw shapes.
