Hello thunkers. Im stucked in s very simple problem, and i really dont know what i do wrong. Maybe im just too tired and i dont see the issue: ![screen](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/c/6/c6b1968600368aef3a43083df72d0c6ff6319728.png) It supposed to show: 1,1, then 1.2, then 1,3 … 2.1, then 2.2 and so on… All is showing is 0.0 and i dont see the problem 🤔 ---

I would just have it repeat 10 times to wait 1 second then change the value by 1. ---

Its only a simplified example of what i need. I can remove label and wait blocks. The problem is that app stucked in the first loop, whitout any contor increase. ---

The loop block does not know how to initialize **app wide variables**. Use the loop variables instead. See this demonstration, @mimostel ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/f/c/fc612c5512b762fe4222234b75494f848c13a165.png) Choose the option before last, **Rename variable…** ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/1/8/18ae2357bd40b345828f156c0896820f0891da96.png) This will work ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/8/c/8c878eeb7884309306558073a41efc86cd9a8972.png) ---

ok, got this. thank you. but seems odd that cant use my vars 🤔 as long as i need more that just 1 for my 2 counts. And renaming “i” var will mess my code, renaming ALL "i"s if theres more in my blocks ---

i think ill just get rid of “count” and use a repeat while with contor inside instead. ---

> [@mimostel](#): > > And renaming “i” var will mess my code, renaming ALL "i"s if theres more in my blocks No, it shouldn’t do that. Whenever add a new loop block it will use the default “i” or “j” and even if it used your created variable then select the “i” or “j” then rename to whatever you want. ---

This onlly happens if you copy blocks. but if you add the blocks from the `Control` drawer then it will not happen. ![Loop-in-Loop](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/b/9/b9b3c1218c22b9a2786ed81ce86cf6bb4ca04fe3.gif) ---
