| 2024-09-02 |  | | I feel like this is a great game for your kids and also my mom started on her phone and I get to play on my Kodi and this was really fun and also Cody Rocky is my favorite kind of a robot cuz he's so cute and you can make little faces with him and my mom started on her phone and I wanted to say all my phone because I think he would be cool and then that I would say that's really fun for your kids really educational and really fun so so they don't get don't get bored easily also fun |
| 2024-07-24 |  | | Works quite well, but made my Mbot 2 bend its chassis by falling of the stairs. |
| 2024-02-09 |  | | Works really nicely! I just built the Raider with my 2.5 year old and she was unbelievably giddy to drive it around, make it play music and flash its lights. Aside from the separate coding app being incompatible with modern Android, it's a smooth and fun experience! Edit 2024-02-08: the Blockly coding app has been updated now and also works like a charm! |
| 2024-01-18 |  | | It's a great all for school, but I wanted to express myself more with support for coding languages like python, c++, c#, js, etc |
| 2023-10-21 |  | | The robot is great, and works ok with the windows client. However the coding part of this android app doesn't seem to be available any more, the google play link is dead. Wrote to the support email, let's see if they answer or whether makeblock stopped supporting the robots they are still selling... Edit: 10 days on, no answer from support. And the robot is still being sold on Amazon. |
| 2023-10-13 |  | | Makeblock did not include the programming portion (MBlock). I separately found MBlock and installed but, MakeBlock app does not see it and MBlock does not see the MakeBlock device (xLight) that I have. As such, I cannot program it. Which is why I got it. |
| 2022-02-05 |  | | Cannot Connect via Bluetooth. I've read too many other reviewers who've also experienced this major roadblock. I cannot program it with the apps. |
| 2022-01-27 |  | | Piece of garbage, tried to move the app and it launched the app and NO FREAKING EXIT, wanted all sorts of not required permissions, HAD TO TURN PHONE OFF TO EXIT APP, DISABLED MY PHONE SCREEN, Poor intrusive snooping app |
| 2021-11-02 |  | | My robot does nothing but just sits there restarting a million times it can't even move ! I am giving this a critical 1 star because I tried everything to fix the robot! Worst experience ever! |
| 2021-05-02 |  | | I would've given the app 5 stars but the build option for mBot is missing for my Android devices. Bring it back please!! |
