A great idea would to be a free app in the app store and downlad and edit projects!

If you haven't seen already the ton of posts "scratch on ios"...

Here #11

First of all, I'm pretty sure they don't have the time to make one,
and probably they don't have the money to make it free and still pay $99 per year.

If I had a dollar for every time I saw an iOS Scratch thread, I'd be rich.

First of all, apps can't download or upload to sites that are not monitored by Apple. Second of all, (like kayybee said) having apps in the app store costs $99 a year, so it probably wouldn't be free. Third of all, Scratch would have to be re-made in Objective-C, which takes a while, and would take even longer considering they're already re-making it in Flash.

The bottom line is that it's not going to happen.

There actually used to be an app that allowed you to view Scratch projects, but Apple pulled it down because it violated their terms of use, by the nature of the app. This means that there is absolutely no possibility of the app ever getting up on the App Store unless Apple changes its terms of use. smile

No, it's because Apple doesn't like it when apps download anything off the internet, which is exactly what the app did, and had to do in order to function.

Apple wouldn't get money from it...

They actually lose money.

They lose the 30% of the 2.99 or whatever it was each time someone buys it.
