Good app

It looks really good and I recommend it but you can’t use a Sphero 2.0 and I hope they update it so you can use it in the future but a really good app but it should have more games.

Sphero Mini Won’t Connect

My Mini won’t connect with the app. I tried everything on your support website, nothing worked! When the white light appears on my robot, it says it’s connecting but I consistently get the screen that says no robots found. I hope you can fix this!

My opinion on this product

I myself think this is a great contraption it is fun for all ages but lt is probably best for 10 through 14. It has games that you can control with the Sphero, You can also control it with an app on your phone, and it has plenty of other features! I only think they should add a Camera so you can see where you were going when you are controlling it.
Other than that it’s pretty great . For Christmas I got four Spheros to give to my family members. They got excited immediately and ran off and played with it. So it’s pretty awesome and I think you or whoever you are getting it for will love it.

New Update is Glitchy

I love the new update - Sphero 2.0 is FINALLY supported! But I've already noticed some glitches. One of them is when you are aiming the robot when you first open the app, if you point the blue dot on the Sphero towards you, it goes in the opposite direction of where you point the joystick. If you manually aim it again, it fixes it. This is really annoying because I don't want to have to aim my Sphero fifty times for it to work. Also, another thing is that the auto-aim feature isn't really that accurate. On the previous Sphero app, it was extremely accurate and I almost never had to aim it more than once.

It actually works!

I thought that it would be another thing that didn’t work at all. But I was wrong. I have a mini and you can play games, be a spy and sneak around the house, and change the color of your mini. I give this app five stars. Not to mention It’s soooooooooo cute

Sphero 2.0 please!!!

I got a 2.0 for Christmas, and it is compatible with the edu app. However, I would like it to be compatible here too, and contacted you about it, and you said that 2.0 and sprk+ are now compatible. How do I connect my Sphero 2.0 to this app?!? Please respond soon, and maybe I’ll change my rating.

Update:

The new update for the app supports 2.0, so I changed my rating. Thank you for responding to our needs!

Response from developer

ILikeLegos43, Sphero 2.0 support has been added to the Sphero Play app in the latest release, version 2.3.0. Make sure to update to the latest version for the new robot support! You'll know you have the latest version of the app (2.3.0) if you see a button on the main connection screen for Sphero 2.0 and SPRK.

I want my old Sphero app back

This new app is so barebones compared to the awesome one I used to control my Sphero. I used to love this company but this has been such a frustrating process. I have a Sphero, a BB-8, and a Sphero Mini. When I worked at a certain red themed discount retailer, I would recommend these to everyone but I find it hard now. The original Sphero app was just to much fun to use but I can’t do anything with this. There isn’t even an option to connect my first (and favorite) Sphero that I got a couple years ago.

The old app was SO much more fun

When we first got our SPRK there was a great Sphero app. It would let you unlock little ‘dances’ for your Sphero to do and had a MUCH better drive interface. This new one only works in portrait mode and you run out of room to move the awful joystick controller around the screen. The old app is still on my iPhone so I’ll hang onto it as long as I can but that app says it isn’t available in my country anymore. BRING BACK THE OLD APP!!!
