Hi @thunkable, The block “from Button1 get Text” initially returns the button’s _name_ (“Button1”), instead of the button’s _text_ “MyButton”. A subsequent read properly returns the button’s text. For reference, verified working in Android version. ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/2X/7/7b696b103d4ec56fde0329d33176e0eb4c7f7332.png) Thanks! BillG ---
