New Update is amazing!!

By Ky_h (Pcmac user)

This app has truly changed the way I look at robotics! I love playing with bb-8 and sharing the Star Wars universe with my family! The new update is so so amazing! It was what I wanted to happen! Bb-8's reactions to force awakens are the best! Thank you sphero! Keep up the great work! I can't wait to see more awesome updates in the future! In addition to my post I would love to see more things added to the app. For example , maybe some more virtual reality experiences with BB-8. I loved that the force band has that and I would love to see that with new updates once the last Jedi comes out! :) This app is still amazing as always!
Love the concept, pls continue to improve!

By JShobe (Pcmac user)

Really love my this app, app is great but I hate that it has to be running for the little guy to do anything! I feel like the this app itself should have enough memory / processing power to take a command from the app and roll with it (haha). Even if this isn't how every function works, I would hope that you guys could allow a few of the functions to run without the app running. At the same time, even if the app isn't running on the phone (or running in the background) it would be great if the phone could still make the this app sounds. To summarize - great gadget, definitely happy with it but the shortcomings are that it relies on your cell phone's mic and speaker and the app must be running. I paid $160 with force-band (pretty cool) but would gladly pay another $50 to upgrade my BB-8 for one with a mic, speaker and a bigger microprocessor inside. More powerful motors would be nice for going over carpet but I won't be greedy! Keep the improvements coming!
Awesome!!!

By Epeeps (Pcmac user)

I got this for Christmas a couple years ago and this droid is AMAZING! The only thing is I think that since he turns a light on when he is doing the hologram, that there should be buttons in his drive screen where you can have him turn on one of his in-body lights while driving around so if it's dark he has a light to give off. That's just an idea though. Other than that, I wouldn't change a thing! Keep up the great work!
Good, but currently has problems

By RoboGirl272 (Pcmac user)

I love this toy, it works Really well. However, I haven't touched him in months, & now, after he's done charging, the app's option to drive him around myself isn't working. Before, I'd be asked to point the phone at BB-8 to sync, then I'd turn a blue light to tell BB-8 where I am in relation to him. I didn't get either of those. I'd move the joystick, but nothing would happen. The other options on the app work fine, but the whole point of the app is to drive him myself, & That's the one that isn't working! Is it an update issue? Cause this is Kind of a big problem!
