I love Scratch on my laptop, and even though on here, the buttons are, admittedly, minuscule; I can't fault the creation process as I am using the app on my mobile - not the intended use. However I would much prefer the app to have an Explore tab like the website, where users can browse for projects, and also compatibility with Scratch accounts.

Was excited to see this was on the store to download until loading into the app and realizing the UI is unnecessarily tiny even if it's made for tablets. It'd be extremely convenient and appreciative to have the UI adjusted for mobile screens. I'd love to mess around in Scratch on the go on my phone and not on a table I don't even own..
