Description
“Hopscotch is the best way to express your imagination! Most other "learn to code" apps just make you complete boring levels with 4 "move" blocks, but in hopscotch you have the freedom to create anything, which is amazing.” — BuildASnowman, Hopscotcher
“This taught me sooooo much about basics of coding. I have been able to make some cool games I hope to learn more as I advance this app was extremely helpful and easy to learn.” — BestBeginnersCoding, Hopcotcher
“I had ZERO background or programming experience. I personally checked all 8 or 10 of these blogs about recommendations. And Hopscotch was the most intuitive and interactive. It’s not like you’re just playing video games. My daughter loves it!” — Mom, S. to daughter, 8
“I am a 4th grade teacher who LOVES your app. Our students have been introduced to coding through it and I am impressed with the creativity they have shown and the skills they are building while creating projects.” — Kelley, 4th grade teacher
CREATE
Whether games, art, stories or more, you can code whatever you want with kid-friendly programming. Publish your creations to Hopscotch’s fully moderated community, where kids can play and learn from your games.
PLAY
Explore and learn from millions of projects created by other kids. Open up any project to play, tweak, or remix it. With thousands of games published every week, you’ll never run out of ideas or inspiration!
LEARN
Our play-along video tutorials teach you to make Crossy Road, PokemonGo, and more. Listen, watch, and code as you go! As you become a better programmer, Hopscotch will challenge you to create increasingly advanced games and apps. These skills will help you in high school, college, and beyond.

3.68.0
2023-10-04
This release fixes the bug that affects Advanced Mode when toggling between Full and Lite keyboards. Now, switching between the Full and Lite keyboards will not turn Advanced Mode off. Special thanks to Crosbyman64 for reporting this bug!
If you have any questions/comments/feedback, please email us at [email protected].
As always, happy Hopscotching!

Have you ever been overwhelmed by all the different blocks in Hopscotch? In this release, you’re getting a Full/Lite keyboard switch for your Hopscotch keyboard! The Lite keyboard contains only the essential blocks that will help you kick off your Hopscotch journey quickly. Look for the keyboard switch button on the top right corner of the keyboard when you are coding. We can’t wait to see all the fabulous projects you will create!

3.66.0
2023-06-22
You are getting some bug fixes in this release:
- Previously, any empty drafts (unpublished projects without objects or code) will be automatically deleted in Hopscotch. We have fixed it so that if you purchased custom art with seeds in an unpublished project, it will be kept in your drafts even if it’s empty.
- You may have noticed that when you duplicate an object with a name that ends with a number, the duplicated object will have the same name as the original object, making it confusing to distinguish the two. This is now fixed, and all the duplicates will have a number appended to the original object name.
If you have any questions/comments/feedback, please email us at [email protected].

2023-03-22
Get ready for a game-changer: you can now rotate your objects on stage! This will help you visualize your game better while coding on stage.
In addition, projects with the request seed blocks will no longer be automatically removed from the app. Instead, these projects will go through the filtering process similar to projects containing custom art when you publish them. Subscribers can also access their seed dashboard by logging in to https://community.gethopscotch.com/sign_in.

2023-02-13
Hey Hopscotchers, you can now earn seeds with your projects with the Request Seed block as a part of the Hopscotch subscription! Here is how it works:
- The Request Seed block can be found in the blue Control section of the blocks keyboard.
- Each product can only be sold once in your game. This means that if someone already bought a speed boost in your game, they cannot purchase it again. To sell other types of speed boost in your game, you can create multiple speed boost products in the Request Seed block.
- To prevent people from changing your code and removing the seed purchases, all projects with the Request Seed block will not be remix-able in Hopscotch.
Try out the seed block today with your subscription! You can use this block to charge seeds for extra levels, special ability upgrades, and different skins for your characters. Can you think of other things to sell in your project?
You are also getting three new blocks in Hopscotch:
- The Set Trail Cap block changes how the ends of the line will look. This block is available in Advanced Mode.
- The Set Trail Opacity block changes how transparent a line appears. This block is available in Advanced Mode.
- The Show Pop-up block shows the users a message in a pop-up window. It’s useful for announcements, hints and instructions in your project.
Other improvements:
- You can now add comments outside of rules. Scroll to the custom section of the keyboard and tap “Add a comment” to create new comments in your code.
- The coding editor is now wider on iPad to help you see more code at once.
That’s it for now! We cannot wait to see what you will create with all the new features. If you have any questions/comments/feedback, please email us at [email protected]. Happy Hopscotching!

You’re getting some bug fixes in this release:
- Previously, moving objects on the stage was not working after you resized an image. Now, this is fixed. Thanks to the user christian bliss for reporting this in the App Store reviews!
- We fixed a bug in iOS 16 where drawing with two characters at a time would result in mixed-up colors and widths--no more!
- The blue highlight around certain parameter blocks appeared glitchy visually. This is no longer the case - you should see a clean blue highlight around the block. A shoutout to our beta testers for finding this bug!
As always, we’d love to hear from you! If you have any questions/comments/feedback, please email us at [email protected]. Happy Hopscotching!

Hopscotchers, this is a big one: you can now use parameters in your custom rules and custom abilities! Now you can write the code once and use it all over your project with slight differences.
Open a new project and start playing with the refreshed starter rules to see parameters in action. The symmetrical mirror drawing and the two-colored gradient background are the Hopscotch team favorites so far. Lastly--open up the new rules to learn more about how they work. There are comments to explain what’s going on!
And as if that wasn’t enough: clones have gotten a total refresh! Instead of cloning an object in its original state, the clone will pick up the properties of that object at that moment. To learn more about clones, watch the brand new clone tutorial series in the video section of the app.
And lastly, for the advanced users, we’ve fixed some bugs in the execution order of code. Now you can use a set variable block right before an if statement, no problemo.
Other bug fixes:
The prompt block will work with local variables.
Comment blocks show more text.
Copying a rule or object now copies the set variable blocks too.
We love to hear from you! Send feedback to [email protected].

This version fixes a couple of bugs for you :
- The menu pop-up was glitchy when you tried copying, pasting, cutting, and deleting blocks. Now, you should be able to access the copy/paste menu smoothly while coding.
- Previously, you couldn’t input text into equality operators. This is also fixed now.

You can now undo and redo creating, deleting, and renaming variables in Hopscotch! On top of that, the undo/redo buttons will no longer undo/redo each keystroke when you enter texts. Phew, no more hitting the undo/redo buttons 20 times just for a sentence!
In addition, you’re getting some fixes:
- Hitting the “Clear” key caused the keyboard to close. Now, the parameter will stay selected. Thanks to Mr. Incognito for reporting this bug!
- Previously when you entered a new line in a text bubble, the texts would overlay. Now, it would only show the first line.
- Deleting a variable from the keyboard was removing incorrect variables in the parameter. This is now fixed, and deleting a variable will only empty the parameters with the deleted variable. Thanks to Crosbyman64 for reporting this bug!

Hey Hopscotchers!
Have you ever run into an unfamiliar block when you’re looking at someone else’s code? Now, you can long-press on ANY of the blocks in your editor to view its help doc. This will help you to understand anyone’s project on Hopscotch better. Plus, you’re getting a brand new look with the block help docs!
Also, make sure you check out the new Help menu (tap the gear button on the top-right corner of your screen and tap on “Help.“). Now you can file a bug report for Hopscotch with the “Report a Problem” button! Tap through the other menu options to discover more!
You may have noticed that sometimes the keyboard would get stuck on your screen even when you exit the project. This is now fixed! Thank you to everyone on the forum (and everyone who emailed us) for reporting this bug!
If you have any feedback/questions/comments, you can send us an email at [email protected]!

Hey Hopscotchers, you are getting a quick bug fix!
When you first launch Hopscotch, you may have noticed that the Welcome screen would rotate upward when you’re in landscape mode. This is no longer the case!

Hey Hopscotchers, you’re getting a new block in this release! Check out the “Set Background” block in the “Looks & Sound” section for an easy way to change the color of your entire project.
And a bug fix: Previously, you could not tap on the top area of your screen between the UI buttons in Hopscotch. This is now fixed. Hat tip to C.H.Rissole for reporting this bug!

Hopscotchers, this is a big one: you can now use parameters in your custom rules and custom abilities! Now you can write the code once and use it all over your project with slight differences.
Open a new project and start playing with the refreshed starter rules to see parameters in action. The symmetrical mirror drawing and the two-colored gradient background are the Hopscotch team favorites so far. Lastly--open up the new rules to learn more about how they work. There are comments to explain what’s going on!
And as if that wasn’t enough: clones have gotten a total refresh! Instead of cloning an object in its original state, the clone will pick up the properties of that object at that moment. To learn more about clones, watch the brand new clone tutorial series in the video section of the app.
And lastly, for the advanced users, we’ve fixed some bugs in the execution order of code. Now you can use a set variable block right before an if statement, no problemo.
Other bug fixes:
The prompt block will work with local variables.
Comment blocks show more text.
Copying a rule or object now copies the set variable blocks too.
We love to hear from you! Send feedback to [email protected].

Ifujfunf,
Great app!!
This app was my first step into the coding world when I was young! I love hopscotch and it truly has encouraged me to learn other coding languages and get involved with programming. I can confidently say that hopscotch not only teaches you about coding, but it teaches kids problem solving, applying math and logic skills, perseverance, patience and so much more. I always loved spending summer days coding games and then being able to publish these games for other kids to play! This is definitely a great app for kids of all ages and all coding skill levels. Wether or not your child wants to be a professional game developer, this app will benefit them in so many ways and teach them so many important skills.
As for the people who dislike the subscription, you can still use hopscotch for free! The subscription is optional and gives you access to more features, but there is still a fully functional free version. Personally, I think the subscription was worth it and purchasing one helps support the team behind this amazing app!

Rybot2001,
Awesome app! A few suggestions.
I tend to have at least 3 hours a day on this app. I love the fact there aren’t too many tutorials and that it encourages people to figure it out themselves. There are so many great tools such as variables, “check once if,” and music. Although this app has so many options to create pretty much any game you would want, there is one problem… the reason I downloaded this app in the first place. The shark tank interview. As said in the demonstration, kids were encouraged to make money, through seeds, but instead, kids are only losing money. (If they want the subscription.) I know that the old system will not be added, but I would ask that you would take into consideration adding a comment section to each game. This would help kids to learn by having others give suggestions on how to improve. This would also allow a sense of community to develop around a developer or their game. Two more things, the ability to see the version history of a published game and a sequel system to create direct sequels to a past game you’ve created. So that’s pretty much it. I hope that you guys at least take one of these things into consideration and turn my 4 star review into 5 stars once again. Thanks for reading!
SarahCodes869,
Somewhat disappointed...
I’m a bit conflicted about Hopscotch. I do have fond memories spending hours coding and making games, but I don’t really like how it is now. The “Newest” tab isn’t the way it used to be. It only shows select things and that makes me wonder how smaller game makers are supposed to get noticed? I have been featured a few times now, but when I was first starting out it made me really happy to just have one person like it. I really liked Hopscotch, but I just wish that the tabs could go back to the way they used to be. The chance that my project might never be seen doesn’t make me feel motivated enough to start coding. I am also disappointed that you have to sign up for a free trial, or as a student or teacher. This new way of signing up for the app is really confusing, and my friend just decided not to get it. I think that the app should just start off being free, and if the user really wants the premium features they could choose to subscribe.
Edit: So I have been on Hopscotch some more and I now really miss old hopscotch. The new tabs are terrible. They make me physically nauseous. Only the projects that already get likes will ever be seen. It seems almost impossible to get featured. Why do I even try.

k leah forde,
I miss the old version 😢
When I first downloaded the app was like a year ago and it still has the subscription but a few things were free like I got to create and publish games and customize my avatar but now everything needs a SUBSCRIPTION! like seriously now I can’t change my avatar now I can’t create or publish games. I can’t do anything. The only thing I could do is play other peoples games who are more fortunate than me to get a subscription. I don’t really like this new version. I like the old one better where you didn’t have to pay for every single thing. I mean, I think it’s just horrible that you can’t even create games that is so horrible what’s the point of playing a coding app when you can’t even code?And I’ve seen the reviews and all the responses are I’m sorry, but we need this to pay the bills and stuff. Well I’m pretty sure that you were paying the bills just fine last time all I’m saying is not every kid is fortunate, but can you just please lower the prices just a littleAnd the only reason I’m rating it three stars is because I understand not every game can be free and the old version was pretty cool
Everett Reed,
So? Great app
So I decided to go without the premium and it’s still pretty good actually you can do so much codes and stuff it’s awesome even though I don’t have a membership still you can still do lots and lots and lots of stuff you have to download this app it’s the best ever and plus if you sign in it’s absolutely free and I just really really really need you to download it because it’s the best ever I’ve never found any fun apps before I’ve been searching for a long time and well most of them after five seconds you just get off and then you’re done but this app you stay on it for a while and it’ll be so fun it’s not just one of those quick five seconds oh that was boring done. It’s one of those or you could just play forever ♾ And never get bored because they’re so so so so so much you can do even without the membership that cost money and I don’t care if you have a membership or don’t I just want you to download the app because it’s the best
DeathgunReviews,
A very good app, but I miss the old days
I know this is a great app and I have many old memories, ranging from when I created a melody that sounded like Bank Account before the song came out to making and looking at some of the cool projects from the community. I can remember this app vividly, and confirm it was a great app. However, I wish this app was still free, because it is great and everybody should get a chance to experience it. But I understand that the greatest things come at a price, so I still give it a perfect 5 star rating. I am lucky I had an old account and could get it back for free. My current thoughts on the app are that it is doing well, and has no actual competition, because Scratch has never actually received a mobile app, and all the other coding apps give no actual codes to kids, and just let you make characters “Walk” or “Jump”. Thank you for making the greatest mobile app, maybe of all time!!!
Fhnfdhnt,
Great app
I’m 17 and I still enjoy making games on this app. I have some experience with actual languages like python and swift, but it is so much easier to pick up my phone and make a game using block coding. I wish there were more features and functionality in the language, but it is still the most advanced block coding language I have ever used. It is pretty obvious that the level of complexity possible on hopscotch is limited based on the bugs and quirkiness that exist even in the best hopscotch games. This, however, seems to be a flaw of block coding languages in general as a trade off for ease of use.
Also, I wish that there was a recent tab where you could see levels that were just uploaded without a filter. This would give small creators more exposure and feedback on their games. But overall, it’s really good for a free app.

Great App
This is an amazing app and I am learning a lot from it. If you in anyway hesitant about downloading it.... DON’T BE! If you wanna make games and have fun while coding. This is the app for you!!!!! This is especially great for kids because some games that involve learning bore kids, even if they DO want to learn. But this app lets kids learn so much and still have fun. There is a woman who guides you through each already made game. And then once you have gotten the hang of it you have the choice to go on your own and make your own games from scratch. I love this app, if you are interested tap that install button. There is nothing to lose! If you don’t feel comfortable or don’t feel like this is your vibe, you can always delete the app(which I doubt you would want to do). But overall this is an amazing. I totally recommend it!
Star Shard,
This game dying. 😕
I love this game and all but unless you pay, you won’t really learn anything which isn’t bad but if your new player it gets kinda annoying. (I’m not new though) To get likes you either have to be 13+ or super good at art.
It may of been fun in the past, but MANY old players have said that this game is dying. Hopscotch has done a horrible job up keeping the game.
They don’t seem to even know what’s going on in the game, socialwise I mean, I understand haters because every game has them but now anybody who makes a good drawing and says the goody-2-shoes “Hi, I’m new!” Gets on trending immediately. This game is no longer about “coding”. Unless you want a social media to raid and ruin with drawings DONT PLAY IT.
The only reason I’m giving it three stars is because the actual coding part is fine.

Anonymous Reader and Writer,
Please Fix!
Hopscotch is a good app. It’s fun, relatively easy to use, and fun. But what I ran into when coding a quiz game with the screen-in-screen tutorial wasn’t so fun.
I started making it, and I did what she did until I saw her renaming the bold text under her other text, but I wasn’t able to. I brushed it off and kept going. Then I realized she had a variable option that I didn’t have, so I ended up doing something else that I knew wouldn’t work. She kept doing variable things that I couldn’t and when I went to test my game, sure enough, it didn’t work.
I don’t know whether this is because I’m using an iPad, I don’t have a subscription, or she was using a different version of Hopscotch, but I’m very disappointed because I was excited to make a game like that and I wasn’t able to for a reason I don’t even know. Please fix, because I’m probably going to delete this if you don’t change it.
