Move the Turtle: Learn to Code for Positive User Reviews
✓ This is a Great Logo AppWhat We Liked: There are a few different Logo-based apps out there, but I haven’t seen one that equals the production values, comprehensiveness, and self-directed options that Move the Turtle contains. A child can grab this app and learn all the basics of Logo programming on their own (or with a bit of help from a parent). My own daughter (nine-years-old) has already completed most of the tasks in all three levels of this programming app! We’ve never tackled programming in any capacity before, so I was impressed at how independently she dug in (I didn’t even know she’d gone so far until I checked her account!) and how well she understood the material – there were a few activities where it looks like she can use some parental help to troubleshoot and clarify, but overall, she did great! Not only does learning Logo help develop general computer programming skills that can be applied to future programming languages, but it also calls into use logical thinking skills to troubleshoot programs that don’t produce the desired results, and helps to develop spatial intelligence through predicting the course the turtle will take across the visual field in response to the programming commands. I love that the app can be used with several children with the multiple user profiles, and the app is just very well put together – the design is clear and visually appealing. What We Didn’t Like: The addition of sound effects and narration for audio learners would be a nice addition to the app. Overall: Move the Turtle is a comprehensive, self-directed approach to learning a first computer programming language that will help to develop both general programming skills as well as encourage your child to practice logical and spatial thinking abilities. This first step for budding programmers is well designed and naturally engaging..Version: 1.1
✓ Love it.Just like back in the early eighties, give the turtle commands to move around and draw. Fun to play and learn basic programming at the same time. Awesome..Version: 1.1
✓ Great programming tutorAll I expected & quite advanced concepts - subroutines supported etc. Some competition aspect would be great - maybe being able to compete with someone else's turtle somehow. Quite a leap to make that happen I know. I'm happy with the app though, will take my kid a while to get to grips with all the concepts. Thanks..Version: 1.2.3
✓ A lot of potential, but needs workThere doesn't seem to be any sound, which is a serious lack. There are bugs in the levels, the difficulty progresses far too quickly, and there is no way to design custom levels. But it does what it says on the tin: Teaches programming basics while seeming like any other game. Also, the multiple users feature is an unusual and greatly appreciated bonus. Four stars because it doesn't seem to have any competition..Version: 1.2.1
✓ Great take on LOGOWay better than spending time hurling birds. This is both educational and fun, and the step by step introductions are flawless. It works natively on iPad, so my kids can have a larger canvas. Devs: try to remove some of the modal dialogs; assume edit in most cases rather than prompting edit/delete. Also, my son made it through many levels without 'getting' the objectives of that level-- perhaps make it a bit tougher to advance..Version: 1.1
✓ Excellent!This is a great app for learning the basics of programming. For 8 year +. My only bugbear is that the "play" section is just a series of challenges that require the player to learn a new command for each. Better would have been to include a couple of puzzle levels after each new command is mastered - for consolidation and repetition. As it stands the complexity ratchets up rather fast for a 8 yo. To the developers - come on you could do this easily ! Or perhaps a website to outline challenges and solutions ? Otherwise this is really an excellent app..Version: 1.1
✓ Good but shortThis is a nice little game, but for $3 it should include more content. 27 levels is pretty short for a puzzle game of this price..Version: 1.1
✓ Excellent teaching tool. One suggestionThe app should highlight the commands that are being executed while the turtle executes them. This would enable a better troubleshooting and a better understanding of which instruction of the program is being executed in real time..Version: 1.2.1
✓ Nice but difficultThe app is very nice, but not so easy for the little ones. Suits boys than girls..Version: 1.2.2
✓ Glad I purchased it!Great app! My son loves it..Version: 1.3.2
✓ Brilliant kids programming gameI especially like the Angry Birds style levels! I run a programming club for six 9 year old boys and they all loved it. .. Read all my reviews on crosswa.lk ...Version: 1.2
✓ Very nicely done "TouchLogo"This is a clever UI atop good ol' turtle graphics! Very well done, simple, touch-friendly editor. Nice job burying, but allowing, advanced features..Version: 1.2.1
✓ Buy!!!Buy!!! Children & adults will enjoy a game format & enjoyable content with simple step instructions. Ch. 3 may be challenging for those new to programming concepts (me) but who wants an app you can finish in 2 hours anyway?.Version: 1.3.0
✓ Great app!This is a great implementation of the classic programming language LOGO for small kids. My 7 year old loves it! And I have fun playing with it as well. I very highly recommend this app!.Version: 1.2.2
✓ Great appI first used LOGO over 20 years ago when I first started out programming as a 5 yr old. It was a great way to learn procedures and how you make up a program. It was also great for developing my maths skills. This app is much friendlier than the version I used but is just as powerful. There's no need to type in the basic commands, they are all available in the menu but you can customise each one in basic and advanced settings. The tutorials seem to get difficult quite fast but I was trying it out on my 4 years old, and older child might not find it as bad. This is a great app, well worth the money!.Version: 1.2.1
✓ Love it, and don't let the 5+ dissuade youWhat a wonderful app. My 4yo would be considered too young according to the description, but i was extremely surprised to see how quickly she picked up on some of the core concepts (move, pen up, pen down, colors, angle, sound). Repeat loops are above her level at this time, but she loved the colors, the smart gem outline matching, etc. If anything, i wish there were a way for me to define some additional tasks for her to solve. The level of complexity rises a little too quickly in the current samples. I'd also love to see some additional animals/objects, and more advanced sound options, eg the option to have a shorter pause, repeat over c/c+ with zero pause to create laser-like effects, variables for the sounds to generate increasing note ranges, a rainbow pen option, etc. I looked a long time for a decent app to get her introduced to the joys of programming. This is he best option I've found. It brings me back to the first time i was able to do simple things with cbm64 basic. Oh, and one more thing, please incorporate some sort of program exchange, so people can show off their code, import the examples of others, etc. Lovely job. This app will be big, I'm certain of that! Get it..Version: 1.2
✓ Fun intro to programmingSeems like it would be fun intro to programming for my 4yo. Little too hard now, but will start once she can read..Version: 1.3.0
✓ BrilliantGreat interface. Fantastic tutorials, lots of projects to follow and a free composer playground to practise as much as you want. Seems to allow different user accounts as well. Very powerful. Seems bug free after an hour of use. Well done developers!.Version: 1.2
✓ Great :)Tnx for this awesome app :).Version: 1.3.2
✓ Great appBeen looking for something to help teach my 8 year old son how to program for a while. This app is almost perfect for the job. Agree with some of the other reviewers comments, in particular with the comment about the objectives. I haven't played it enough and there maybe an easy way to re-read the objective of each level, but I haven't found it yet. This and a few other minor issues mean I still need to help my son to complete the objectives sometimes, but what else are parents for? Overall, more than happy with the app..Version: 1.3.2
✓ KadeLove this app. Great for kids or adults that are interested in computer programming.Version: 1.2.2
✓ Beautiful modern take on an old favoriteThe iPad is the perfect medium for this new take on LOGO. The idea of using a "game" format to teach the basics of LOGO programming is brilliant..Version: 1.1
✓ WonderfulFor quite some time I have been looking for a way to teach my 7 year old the basics of programming since he has shown a interest in computers. This app is simple to use, very intuitive and a perfect example of the ways that the iDevices can be used for educational purposes beyond reading, writing and arithmetic. My son loves it and doesn't even feel as though he is learning but simply playing a game. The fact that it gives you problems to solve rather than simply giving you the ability to free move (although this option is also available) makes it a great learning tool. In fact I have played it just as much as he has! I am thrilled to have found this app and congratulate the developers on a well thought out adaption of a firm favourite from my childhood, which I am pleased to be able to share with my son..Version: 1.1
✓ Reminds me of my youth!My first encounter with computing was in the 1st grade in the early eighties where a used a program called Logo on an Apple IIe and would move a "turtle" just like this. Hope to inspire my little ones..Version: 1.3.2
✓ WowGood job on creating this game.Version: 1.6.4
✓ Great teaching appThis is a great teaching at four beginnings of all ages. My grandchildren wrote their first cold is it. I also have an elder in his 50s who wrote his first coat with it. I highly recommend. +[(:-) Note to programming staff: List upgrade doesn't work for me I have no idea how to us import. Says I need some kind of parental ID?.Version: 1.3.2
✓ Great app like it, please enhance it as well and make it perfectThis is a great app that really bring new colorful life to the old school "Logo turtle" back life. The character is cute, I like the way of using icons, slide bar and tap to do programming. Also the brilliant idea of getting the turtle to find/hit the diamond with trees as obstacles. Most of the Logo functions are there. Some suggestion after spent about a hour playing it. 1. Need some sound effect. The sound command in app is brilliant but we need some sound effect either a light background music or sound when the turtle hit the Damond. 2. A soft button to switch between task list (programming area) and turtle moving ground. I use my iPhone to play with it. Current version in game mode I will be given the challenge with the location of turtle, trees and diamond. But once I am in the programming page I can not go back to see the challenge page until I select to reset the level. This is kind of annoying because sometime I just want to adjust the distance to move and don't want to redo the whole procedure again if the developer can add a soft button that allow user to switch in their next update will be a great help. Overall a good educational app. Looking forward to your next update..Version: 1.2
✓ Fab app to teach programmingWhat a great little app! Perfect to use to support the teaching of logo in the primary classroom! My class will love play/learning with Move the Turtle app!!! It would be great to have a web site with more challenges to consolidate learning. Thanks again for a great app!!!.Version: 1.2
✓ Cool! :)Looks very cute and quite addictive learning game!.Version: 1.2.1
✓ Great AppGreat app. Works nicely. The only complaint I have is that the for loops go above the statements when it seems natural to have them below. No big deal, though, since for loops go above the statements in real programming..Version: 1.1
✓ Amazingly well doneThis app is truly well designed. I ran into a few very minor bugs, but other than that, it is fantastic! and as if that was not enough, it works on iPhone and iPad! I just have one suggestion: It would be great if you could share your "projects" or at least export them and import them so you could move them from device to device. Other than that, this app is great! A must buy!.Version: 1.2.1
✓ Loved the appGreat first learning tool for my 10 year old. Not to hard not to easy. A good challenge. Would really like more 'exercises' at each stage to consolidate what has been learned. Turtle was engaging and fun. Thanks look forward to much more..Version: 1.3.2
✓ The best children's programming system!It's amazing because it's educational for children and it's fun. I like that it has chapters so that children can use it in stages. C. Aged 7..Version: 1.2
✓ NiceI like this just as much as doing Python Code!!!.Version: 1.3.2
✓ Nice app to introduce kids to programmingThis app is a nice introduction to programming for kids. My son went through the tutorials and enjoyed them. It is simple yet engaging enough to keep him interested. It would nice for the developer to add more program examples that you can download (maybe they have done it already, I'd have to check...).Version: 1.3.2
✓ I love it!!!Great app for kids!.Version: 1.3.2
