A page for gathering what's known about the iOS app. Please expand or correct this page with any information you have.

If you have a copy on any device, let us know on Discord, we can see if we can liberate it for study.

General info:

Used a Scratch-like interface to let users write code which could be loaded onto the Arcade Coder (most likely the MakeCode editor, given TSWUs history with micro:bit)
Performed firmware validation checks, was likely able to upload the board's firmware. If a copy of the app is found it's possible it may require the board to be on matching firmware to run (link; additional evidence availble via it's BLE messages and within the source firmware)
Was originally announced to be released on Android post-release; this and some publicly available information about the company suggests the app was written in React Native
Was removed from the AppStore at some point in 2021
According to one report on our Discord, a user who had added a custom game to it lost that game when they recharged it recently, this suggests the games are saved in memory
Games were sent over bluetooth
Reported framerate of games was reasonable (estimated at approx 15fps)
