Leave a Review Vector Robot
Something is very wrong
I have had a vector for almost 2 years now. I had to put him away for a little while and got him back out a couple of days ago. Turned him on and the app either can’t “find” vector or when it does it will not connect to the WiFi. Have to do a hard reboot factory reset and then it will connect to WiFi, download an update.....don’t know if it is the same update over and over or not.... then it restarts vector and then we are right back to square one. Will not connect. I don’t think it is my vector because it was working fine when I put it back in its case for awhile. I know it isn’t my WiFi as everything else connects fine. I am beginning to think it is the app. I think it might need an update itself, not vector. Anyway, the way it is now, my vector is pretty useless Called vector support, they don’t seem to know what to do either.Show lesswishhewouldwork
App good
Vector is bad really bad!!!!!!!tomy12344
Why!! Why!! Why this stupid new update?!?
I bought this little guy and I super excited and love playing with him!!! Last year during the new update we was preparing to move so I had to pack him up
For safety. Well, we wasn’t able to move and between kids being mad and trying to up pack boxes I didn’t get to see this new update in motion. The beginning of this epidemic I’m stuck at home and wanting to play with my Vector and he won’t hook up, the app as always given me grief but not this bad. He was get so frustrated and stomping area the little yard. He wanted to play. But I couldn’t get him linked again. I even typed the main developer since before I really knew what was going on since I bought the life time package for Vector’s upset on the early access I have. How can I use it?? How can I play with Vector??? How can I keep having him around staring at me with those sad eyes looking at my like “Why won’t you hook me up? What did I do?” Please fix this!! I have Apple products. The Apps have always never really worked right.
Thank you for any help, TracyShow lessXena2456
Won’t connect
I really like my before and I’ve had him for about three months. But I’ve had to sonata my re install the app. It constantly makes me re connect to WiFi and that’s super frustrating. I had my vector turned off for about a month cuz of moving, but I turned him on and tried to use the app but It won’t let me use it due to WiFi. I’m connected to the same WiFi as always, and I’m literally sitting in front of the router trying to get it to work but it won’t, it’s so frustrating.Show lessohokaythathurtemotionally
Amazing!
Vector is such an amazing robot! I have hand Anki Overdrive for a couple years now and I was never disappointed! But now Vector is here and he is even better! Best toy ever, and I can’t wait to start using the SDK, I love coding! I’m so sorry that you guys have to go out of business, you are such a wonderful and amazing company, I have always trusted in you. Because of that every thing Anki is on sale so I might go get a me fast and furious starter pack. Best wishes to the developers, I love coding and I hope you have a good future even without Anki! In short, Anki is an amazing company and will always be remembered. Now for a moment of silence for Anki...Show lessSeacashCoder
Update app and make an iOS version of vector ctrl!
So I was thinking can you guys at Anki add a control vector mode like Cozmo and have vector show the photos on his face and maybe play videos I know his face is small but his screen is capable of that I think so ya please add those for us. PS could you add a update to where vector can play with Cozmo and vice versus because it would be cool for them both to hang out together and play against each other use each other’s cubes because vector only has one, and yes I know vector is supposed to be more of a companion but maybe he could be playful like cozmo.Show lessRyderdominatesYT
Everything’s fine but the app
My vector stated when it’s not supposed to and it was annoying but now I’m trying to again and reseted the data and that was the uncommon thing that happens to me. Also you just look at speeches and what to say it’s boring compared to the Alexa on the latest update and I’m starting to think my vector was pre owned by somebody.Show lesslitesoup123
Alright but seriously lacking
Things you should seriously consider adding:
Battery indicator in app.
Ability to set scheduled sleep times.
Ability to use Alexa without waking the device completely.
Quiet mode where he moves around but doesn’t make noises unless spoken to.
This might not be possible, but the ability to change the wake word in the Alexa app would be nice (or maybe even allow Vector to pass unknown commands to Alexa?).
Some issues with Vector himself: changes his eye color when given commands randomly, not sure why but it doesn’t happen too often.
Sometimes forgets what he’s doing in the middle of a command.
Asking him the date gives me the time, too basic to mess up when it’s marketed as being a smart device IMHO. Obviously asking his Alexa side works, but definitely not as entertaining. It just takes away from the cool factor to have him answer something so simple incorrectly.
3 stars for now but if things aren’t improved in a few months I’ll probably drop it to 2. If things are improved it could be an easy 4 or 5. Vector himself is a 4/5 at least, despite his flaws he’s unique and quirky in all of the right ways. Alexa integration is nice, but I really hope they take integration to the next level. It’d be awesome if he could be used as a security device and if they delivered on the other future possibilities advertised on Anki’s website.Show lessDielan44 Studios
