What Users Are Saying

I remember when Tynker was 100% free back in 2022. Now, due to BYJU’S being defunct they want a subscription to learn to code. ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!

It used to be free but now it’s not and I have a lot of stuff in there stuck behind a paywall

When I started using Tynker, I thought I would have a good time; but I didn’t. You see, I’m trying to draw an actor but when I’m done, it suddenly disappears. Do you know why?

Gave the free trial a shot, not worth it. App always blacked out or crashed. Even on PC, we had issues with the log in. Just an all around poor experience.

It is sort of fun but they could do better it’s not that fun to learn with😑

I made a skeleton half zombie and I downloaded it to Minecraft the right way and still didn’t work

Please update, images and drawing missing on tynker, crashes when editing them, Byju’s, Why have you done this? It’s so laggy, many features missing, where has the funding gone?

Pretty much everything shows a crown on it what is with your Minecraft editor
