Great for showing scripts on a document. It uses the exact same Scratchblocks scripts to generate the blocks. Spoilers: You can't run the script(s).

This app is a bit of a disappointment. The created tiles are generally red, though I had one appear in yellow. For example, when I typed in, "move 10 steps (which is a blue tile) it made it in red and almost always does the same with other commands. Frustrating and destroys the usefulness of the add-on for classroom instruction, which is too bad because it could allow for the easy creation of instructional slides. The tiles are adjustable in size, but the color of the tiles are not reliable. Please fix this! It could be a great Add-on!

Pretty great. It saves me a bit of time from exporting and uploading blocks images from Scratch. Just a bit, because you still have to write the code. I really like it because it forces one to understand the code. Could this be used for kids to write pseudocode in Google Docs? The red blocks would be a clue to understanding the proper syntax and types of inputs and reporters. Would be even more awesome if you could click on the blocks to edit the blocks further.
