I've been trying different coding apps for my kid and thought Tynker would be a good option to start with. Technically it may be a good option if you pay right away, but I wanted to try the free tier first to see if this is a good fit. Long story short - bait and switch! Apparently, Tynker was acquired by Byju's couple years ago, and Byju's is the owner of the infamous WhiteHat Jr who used sketchiest sales tactics ever... so I'm not surprised that these tactics now been applied to their acquisition... sad.

First, they coax you into downloading their app, insisting on a full registration. Only after you've gone through the hassle of making a full registering do they drop the bomb: the supposedly 'free' app actually demands a $10/month subscription, with no free tier. Congratulations, you've just wasted my time. I promptly deleted the app, but the frustration doesn’t end there. Now, my inbox is flooded with incessant spam emails, disguised as urgent messages like 'Your Child Needs Your Approval.' Tynker's strategy is clear: reel people in with deception and then bombard them afterward. Their moral compass is seriously askew.
