Various bug fixes
Kodable Basics is an award-winning coding curriculum for kids aged 4-10. It breaks down complex concepts like loops, sequences, and conditions into simple, visual blocks. Children help the 'Fuzzes' navigate through various mazes, learning the thinking patterns that professional developers use every day. With over 200 levels, it provides a comprehensive foundation for computer science in a kid-friendly format.
Dinsun Expert Review
Our Expert Score
Kodable Basics is a triumph of educational design. It manages to teach the core logic of programming—sequences, loops, and conditional statements—without requiring the child to read a single word of text. The visual language is incredibly intuitive, using color-coded arrows and curly brackets that mirror actual syntax structure found in languages like JavaScript.
As a parent or educator, the progression is what impresses most. It starts with simple navigation but quickly moves into advanced concepts like functions and variables. The 'Fuzzes' are adorable and provide a low-stakes environment where 'failing' a level is just a prompt to debug your code. It doesn't just teach coding; it teaches critical thinking and resilience. It is easily the best starting point for any young aspiring creator.
Features

Tips & Walkthrough
Help your Fuzz through the Smeeborg world. Drag direction arrows into the command bar at the bottom. Once you hit 'Play', the Fuzz will follow your sequence. If he reaches the end, you've successfully coded your first program!
Gameplays
As the levels get harder, you'll encounter loops. Instead of placing the same arrow three times, use a loop block to repeat the action, teaching the efficiency of modern coding practices.

Q&A
The early levels are entirely icon-based, making it perfect for pre-readers to learn logic.

Sat Jul 05 2025 hkygjfjyfI like kodable it’s fun .Sry i am writing this again I miss 2019 levels they had a world map a great difficulty chart and a fun experience for everyone. but I kept seeing more updates now u guys have a kodable jr amazing about to check it out but I don’t see that coming my family will probably not buy it but its ok maybe i can use it on computer and i wish for a middle school kodable about to be in 7th grade i feel like kodable is for all ages pls make more levels see u again soon.
Busted bug world
Sun Apr 21 2019 2CAKidsI have a question why is it called bug world when you defeat the slimes with fuzzes? Also bug world is busted. every single time I’m on the final round my I pad goes back to the home screen any way you can fix it. Please After that I lose my progress on the level NOT the hole game once I go back and play it again same thing happens. no matter what I do I don’t get to finish the level I am extremely lucky if I complete ONE level. other people would say why don’t you play the other part of the game that’s a good question IM BORED I’ve basically played all the other parts of the game that I CAN play even level three is hard on astropida THREE. other wise the game is the best game ever I just LOVE that you can make your own fuzzies. Now back to the question can you please please please fix the game. please write back people
Great concept except
Mon Jan 31 2022 OGSkullkidThey don’t tell you it’s a 7day subscription based game and it forces you to put in information before moving on to the trial version. It may say that in app purchases are in it but it fails to say it’s purely a subscription based concept. That being said I think it’s terrible business to hide behind the initial download before mentioning that as it’s a great idea to allow people to understand coding languages. Should probably allow for a broader audience rather than sticking to only those who can pay. Really tired of seeing educational help on this platform become a classist thing and only open to those who can afford to foot the bill. Kinda disgusting how capitalism has negatively effected everyone to become so greedy. Why not charge for the app overall? I’d pay 14 upfront over a stupid subscription.
Kodable game
Tue Oct 09 2018 JessiesaysI really enjoy this game so far! It’s teaching my six year old daughter to use her critical thinking skills, memorization, and all helping her with her directions (up, down, left, right, etc.) she is also using her counting skills a little too, believe it or not! She and I have been playing this since I download this yesterday and we love! My mom even played and she was stumped on the ‘loops’ and my daughter explained to her how to play lol! Keep up the great work and I will be purchasing the full game!!!!
Watch your money
Fri Mar 29 2024 highly ckWe somehow canceled a free trial that accidentally did not get canceled. We did not have any payment methods saved on Apple. 3 month later we added credit card for some thing else and Kodable slapped annual charge 3 months after we were sure we canceled. Reached out to customer service for refund and got a flat out “we do not give refunds”. Even the credit card company was not able to reverse the charge. Not happy with a company where the focus is on taking money without any consideration that there might have been an error somewhere. Bummer our school uses them, so we have to keep dealing with them. Watch your money and make sure you triple check that if you cancel it is really canceled.
More new stuff and planets

Great game
Wed Jan 26 2022 gdjhdudjdiApp is a bit confusing to use and it doesn’t look very appealing for a couple hours but it’s not worth a download and it’s just the same thing to say that you can’t use your Facebook app for your iPad to see you have the app and the other one you need a few more things like it is worth a download for your phone to get it fixed for your phone or phone phone to get the iPhone and the iPad and
NO free version
Thu Jun 16 2022 Icarus138I’d love to review the app, but you can’t play it at all without a pricey subscription. Even the “free trial” requires giving them permission to automatically bill you – that’s not a free trial, that’s a trap. Shady companies do this because they know that people may forget to cancel after taking the “free” bait. Subscriptions for non-MMO games are suspicious enough (Pay more money in the long run, but you can’t even keep it when the developer eventually stops supporting it? What a scam!) But if they don’t even think their content is good enough to attract subscribers without trickery, I’ll take their word for it and look for something better!
