It works well enough, but I can't seem to copy/paste code. I'm using a small screen as well, which makes pressing buttons very difficult. I used an algorithm to generate code that I believed I could just paste and get the robot moving, but then I realized I would have to use my big fingers to place over a hundred lines. I know there are more clever methods I could have used, but this just isn't worth the time. Might as well play with turtle graphics and show kids real Python.

I've had this app for a long time, but now when I try to pair Root, it keeps saying: "app needed" I am not sure who has the responsibility of it, but I am 80% positive it was the app. Just in case it was my phone, 4 stars (it is a good app when it works, again, it might just be my phone)

Update now allows it to work on Amazon Tablet. Thanks as it didn't work on any 4 of our devices since Christmas and we were eager to use it. Will test on Weiwei P30 and 20 later.
