Lightbot : Programming Puzzles App Reviews

Teaches the fundamentals of coding in an intuitive and fun way. I looked into it as part of the hour of code. The full version is worth the money. I loved the challenge levels at the end. I hope there will be more levels coming for all the stages.

Honestly my favorite iOS game to date! I hope you will release additional levels even if its an in-app purchase or sequel!

Well thought out app! Loads of fun, so addicting that I completed all of the levels (challenges included) the first day! Please release more!

Great Game! My Computer Science Class Loves it! However, please fix the following things. In the conditional section the play button covers the main upper right box so the code can’t be read.

Devs: please fix location on Main box in Conditionals level! The play button covers the code and deletes commands when you press it! Review: A Must Buy!!! Super cute and certainly not easy. Challenging for me and I am mid thirties! Its extremely addictive. Not just for kids, will definitely get your brain working again for us oldies! It makes you think, and it is a fantastic logic puzzle in each new level. One if most engrossing games Ive played. Im so happy I took the chance and downloaded this one! Its a great surprise!

Excellent game very enjoyable. Gets hard and at times seems impossible. I would recommend this game.

Great time killer along with helping introduce to young kids about programming!

This nice-looking, smoothly executed puzzle game gives a fun introduction to thinking like a programmer. Programming concepts introduced include conditionals, loops, interrupt commands, and others. My only disappointments are that there is no hint system for the three or four trickiest levels and that the game is relatively short, at 20 levels total. (But if the worst you can say about a game is "I wanted more!" thats not too bad!)

I loved how engaging this is for children. It would excite me to see when he would get frustrated and then continue and continue to try and how happy he was when he got the robot to work. Very easy for children to understand. He passed all levels in a matter of a few days. Id rather him be on this app than any other app. I hope for more levels in the near future.

My daughters both love to mess around with Lightbot! Their school uses it to introduce computer coding concepts to kindergarteners and first graders each week and all the kids seem to enjoy it.

Simple to use with age-appropriate challenges, this puzzle game teaches basic programming concepts. It’s like Apple’s old Logo refreshed for the iPhone and the iPad. My twins love it, and my daughter loves that there’s a “girl” robot. Well done, LightBot!

My 5 year old loves this app.

Great product. I love it and my 7and 9 year old kids love it too!!

I suppose one could learn some basic programming concepts from Lightbot: sequential execution of instructions, conditional branching, procedure calls. But you won’t learn anything about the larger programming concepts of objects or inheritance. Nevertheless I give it 5 stars because they’re simply great puzzles. It took me a couple weeks to work through all the challenge levels, and it was a lot of fun for $5. More like this, LightBot!

In the library media center all students and second and third grade were exposed to this coding app. Its so engaging and they loved it

Gameplay is entertaining and thought provoking. As a software engineer is has been quite enjoyable to share with my kids, who love solving the puzzles too. A great app, and I hope more levels are being developed. This game could benefit from a puzzle editor and a community to share puzzles.

Solved the puzzles, but I dont think they are good in teaching you anything.

Wow! Totally get this, puzzles are tricky and its so addicting.
