Hello!  
I am trying to make something where what the user types into the text input becomes an app variable. Thanks in advance!

The text in the green block is what has been inputted by the user right? Will this help me to display what the user has entered on the next screen? Thank you

Yes, correct. And you will use the variable block to display it on a different screen.

The [Join block](https://docs.thunkable.com/blocks/blocks/text#join) in the Text drawer will concatenate values.
