Thunkable Review

     Thunkable is an absolute Nightmare and here is why. Let me just warn you before you continue reading, Thunkable has potential but stay as far away from it as possible, I wish I never even heard of Thunkable. I have wasted a lot of time working with Thunkable so that's a part of my life I'll never get back so if you wish to stop reading about this horrible website then I wouldn't blame you. Another thing, if you have used Thunkable before let me just say, I feel sorry for you. Anyways, this website uses a series of pre-built codes called "blocks" you fit them together like a puzzle and badda bing badda boom you have an app. Now this may sound easy and it can be, but the problem with Thunkable is the tutorials are for an older version and they removed a lot of key components for their blocks. Thunkable; however, continues to use these tutorials even though they are now useless without access to the older version of Thunkable. Thunkable removing a lot of the key features from their website is what really ruins Thunkable for me, it showed a lot of potential but now it's useless because they can't properly show you how to use the site itself. Unless you really want to waste a lot of time and study every block in the site and see what it does, I suggest you stay away from it. I give Thunkable a 2/5 for poor direction and for being a waste of time.
