Community reviews for OctoStudio

OctoStudio is a great tool to make coding fun and creative for kids. I like that it’s easy to use and doesn’t need accounts or internet. Features like voice notes and Bluetooth pairing are exciting. The only issue might be managing many devices in a class. Overall, it’s a fun way to teach problem-solving and coding.

My overall opinion is that the tool is great. The interactivity of the application is a great plus and it also helps students to learn. I like that the app also gives students freedom to learn on their own, as it is very intuitive. I didn't dislike anything, and highly recommend this app.

It's a great educational game for younger kids and also for parents to use at home to help either kids more at home.

I love how hands-on this app is. I showed my niece this app and she was able to quickly learn how to give instructions to the character. She doesn't know it yet, but she has the potential to become an exceptional coder. I like how it's challenging but it's not impossible. Kids won't get discouraged from this, but it won't be too easy for them either. It's the balance of both. I like how they can learn what each button does. If they see that their sprite is moving clockwise, then they will be able to know what clockwise movement is.

OctoStudio is a user-friendly coding app that empowers young minds to create interactive animations and games. Its block-based interface simplifies the learning process, making it accessible even to beginners. First of all, it's a free app and it is a great way to introduce coding to young learners. Not only is it easy to use but it also encourages a fun way to learn.

I enjoyed seeing how you can use it to create your own personal projects in a less complex manner. From the start, options to create your own sounds, photos, code, drawings, etc is a great way to let a student's creativity flow. It gives them options to then put their project to the test by executing it and sharing it with family, friends, or YouTube for inspiration. I also like the coding section and how ti starts by teaching students who use this with the block method. This is where the code is typically condensed into simpler terms, and placed in blocks that you can connect to do the code from scratch. It gives the student a way to remember what the code should look like and understand the meaning behind each line of code that is already correct. This prevents them from typing and learning from incorrect code until they can learn more. Overall, I enjoy seeing OctoStudio and would like to see it implemented more in projects and lessons for younger students.

OctoStudio is an excellent platform for teaching students digital storytelling, animation, and coding. Its user-friendly interface and intuitive tools make it accessible even for beginners, while the advanced options keep more experienced students engaged. While the app is fantastic for sparking creativity, I did notice a slight learning curve for younger students unfamiliar with block-based coding. However, with some guidance, they quickly adapted and could dive into their projects.
