- (2019-04-29) Chris Macioch: ok. I have been using this app for a two years. Now Scratch 2.0 has come out and it does not work anymore... any suggestions. Thank you for developing this app.
- (2019-04-28) Bryce Lee: Doesn't Work. Can't connect scratch
- (2019-02-21) Jean H.: So now that scratch 3.0 is the only online editor for Chromebook users-- when is s2bot going to be compatible with it! You just ruined my plans for robotics with my students this spring.
- (2018-07-30) Kevyn Tuleu: It works great, makes the connection everywhere I tested! Problems: - The blocks did not translate to "Portuguese", only half of them went. - All programming blocks that contain tilted and distance do not work, only SensorA and SensorB work, but it gets bad since it has to do the whole logic from scratch with their "raw" value.
- (2018-01-15) Outside Mom: tried to use scratch to control lego wedo 2.0. would not work. always had red dot to show not connected. has anyone has success with wedo 2.0 and scratch? using chromebooks?
- (2015-11-07) Heidi Finley: I like this as we have WeDo Lego's in our district, and we are 1-1 Chromebook district. We have been looking a way to use the Chromebooks with the WeDo's. I also have Sphero balls. I was excited that there was a Sphero option, but I can't seem to get it connected. Any ideas???
- (2015-11-05) Brent P (SavaShip): This App does exactly as it advertises with WeDo and Scratch. It is a great helper that can facilitate getting your child or students into programming!
