WAS ok till i added another 51 of IF/THEN blocks or steps , please help me if possible to reduce that 51 blocks as i have 3 of it .. total 153, so far i have two only of the 51 if/then as attached (total 102) but needs even to add 3rd one , my app has total about 6800 blocks>> App Inventor is unable to compile this project.
The compiler error output was

When you have too many blocks spread out over too large a surface area,
the Blocks Editor hits a complexity limit when it tries to generate a blocks.png file for the screen.
There are two main approaches to deal with this:
- Start a Google Doc with a Table of Contents explaining your app, with sections for Design, Data, Code, including Downloaded Png images of all Events, Procedures, Globals, and with html cross-links for easy navigation. Such a doc becomes easier to read than a complete blocks image, because you have FIND, Next, PREV, back functionality, and you can add paragraphs of commentary around your code. This is my preferred life saver when doing a very large complex app. If you go this route, try to arrange your blocks geographically in a column matching the order of your Table of Contents, then do periodic Clean Up Blocks to pull them inline. This sometimes lowers the load on the Blocks Editor.
- Reduce your block count:
- Use parametrized procedures for common code
- Use Media text files instead of big clumps of text blocks
- Use generic blocks instead of repeating component event blocks
- Encode repeating decision patterns into lookup tables loaded from Media csv text files (does your blocks image look like a box of combs?)
- You don't need a component for every data instance. Reuse those components.
- If you can't fit data into a ListView or List Picker, show a small subset of the data in an Arrangement and slide it across the larger list of data.
thanks for your reply, would you please show me how to reuse component or reduce blocks of the attached png file i uploaded before in this thread? thank you
