| 2025-02-02 |  | | App doesn't work with BB-8 |
| 2025-01-25 |  | | Deleted the app for a $200 droid. Sphero company pretty much robbed me. Fix the problem or the company will have to reimburse me. |
| 2025-01-19 |  | | It doesn't connect and everytime I have to re-download the app just to connect it. |
| 2024-12-31 |  | | The app frequently directs you to the sphero website which does not display properly on my Android device. Menu options are not accessible unless i view the desktop version. Navigating lessons and trying to get my 9 year old set up with an easy beginners activity is way too difficult. The first draw lesson for 3-5th grade doesn't even explain the color system. It wants you to set up a 15 meter croquet course which is too much for an introductory mini project. I'm extremely disappointed |
| 2024-12-05 |  | | Our school teaches us this app along with it's robots.. The app is very buggy and personally I wouldn't like to learn how to drive a robot that people use as a cat toy as it has practically no use, and when the app is horrible too...it makes it a pain. |
| 2024-12-04 |  | | It's pretty buggy I can't connect my sphero at some points |
| 2024-09-10 |  | | This app has the most bugs I've ever seen. And I make programs myself. I will be writing a script and the bit suddenly disconnected. Then it will just take forever to connect back to it. I have to leave the app to restart it and that makes me lose my progress on the code. Horrible app fix it. |
| 2024-08-31 |  | | Freezes everytime i try connecting to my old BB-8. Honestly, im disappointed. |
| 2024-08-11 |  | | I got a BB8 5 years ago, and I loved using him and the app. But for the last 4 years, I couldn't use my droid. I was surprised when I saw that the original app was gone. This one might be very limited, jn the sense that from what I have experimented in 5 minutes, it let's me ride my droid at different speeda, and change the light colour. It might not be as good as the old app, but this one let me play with my dear toy once again. Overall, it's good enough to play. |
| 2024-07-29 |  | | Great app. I use it for the sphero mini as a toy for my cat. After a while, she thinks of it as another animal, since the sphero has so much character. The app makes it easy to control and to program the sphero. |
