Understand Kickstarter
Many previous, bad reviews were written by people that don’t know how Kickstarter/products launch. You got your EBO super cheap at $129.99, expecting it to be perfect. I was in on that initial launch. It worked but was glitchy and some features were not available yet. Over the last few months, it has gotten to where it performs perfectly and features are being added with each update.
By wanting it early and cheaper, you expect there to be things to work out. If you wait for those to resolve, the current price is $269.99, which will likely go a bit higher. Choose your poison.
The EBO staff have been quick to reply on the Facebook page to questions. Top notch customer service. Great product, and it just keeps getting better.

Not bad!
Not a bad little robot, the app has little issues here and there but they’re repaired pretty quickly.
MUCH BETTER SINCE UPDATE
Thanks so much for the update. The scheduled auto play mode is why I bought Ebo and now it’s functional. Four stars, realistically, for the app is still clunky and my Ebo robot is damaged from trying to move on carpet. Still kind of works on linoleum.
Works well
App works fine, I don’t know if this is the first ingigogo or Kickstarter program people have bought into, but Ebo is faaaaar ahead of most, I’ve been involved in 30-40, some take years to get to finished product, and a good percentage fail in the end. You’re investing in a dream, in a small scale prototype, experimental etc. my cats love it, I can check on my house, play and tire them out and I am confident with their posted updates that all the future features are on their way. People need to get a grip.

Sad Cat😓Don’t update!!!!!
When ebo first arrived he was working pretty good and Reggie fell in love with him, after update ebo is to glitchy to use. Lazer option has been removed and drive abilities are a mess. If you haven’t updated. DON’T........ Please help Reggie get his friend back.... We will update review if any new updates change.

Pretty much crap
I ordered ebo from Kickstarter thinking it would be a great way to play with my cat but as others have said it is hard to control, has no autonomy, and the laser won’t work. My cat basically shows no interest in it.
Extremely Disappointed
We received Ebo several days ago, and have the latest update on the App Store. It acts nothing like the video does that convinced us to purchase this item. The lag time is incredibly slow with the video, it does not return to its base like it is advertised as, and won’t even go up over 1/8 inch of carpet. I feel like you’re released this product way before it was fully developed, and although we got a discount on the price, this is nothing like it was advertised.
I would like to know how you would like to rectify this issue? Something like this should have been given to people to beta-test for a while before you sold it. I paid a lot of money for this item and was hoping that I would be able to interact with my cats just like what is shown on the video on your website.
With the newest update, the Ebo is even worse! The control screen won’t open up at all.
I cannot fathom why you shipped this product out knowing that there were more than just a few “glitches”!!
Ebo Developers: I will give you a couple of months to fix this product so it more or less resembles the functionality of what you advertised.
If not, I will return it to you for a refund. One of my cats really wants to play with it, but it’s completely useless as it is now!

Wait it out, let us suffer
So like everyone else here, i was sold by the kickstarted campaign and was very disappointed with the end product. The build and feel of the robot are great but the functionality and features are severely lacking. The app itself is very bland, it contains three pages, one of “news” which is always empty, one which tells you the app version you are on and the third page is for the ebo control. Now when ai first got my ebo, right of the bat I noticed how glitchy and laggy the controls were, if you are not using it on hardwood floors and not in the same room, the glitch will make it very hard to control, also I noticed that even though it is advertised as always landing on its feet, i have mine constantly fall in positions and stay that way, never “landing back on its feet” and if I am away I have to hope my cat picks Ebo back up. As everyone has talked about there is no automatic play, it does not go back to the charge station, no scheduling. The laser pointer is weird for me because the first day I got it, I had the ability to use it but after The new build that feature was removed. If you are on the fence or were thinking about getting the Ebo, wait, don’t do it. Let us suffer through these trials and errors, let us be the guinea pigs, and hopefully the creators can release more patches and updates so we can all change these low ratings to raving reviews, because we all want to love this invention, but as of now there is not much to rave about.

App functionality needs major work
Ebo is really cool in concept but doesn't work as advertised so far. Ebo doesn't go back to doc when batter is slow and the only way to shut it off is by holding reset button.
Implement a shutoff on the app when not in use.
Easier controls.

Mediocre Functionality
When first reading about the ebo, I thought there was supposed to be a lot more autonomy to the toy. I’m pretty disappointed that there aren’t two modes for manually controlling the ebo and allowing the ebo to move around on it’s own accord. The app is pretty bare bones right now but I’m sure there will be more updates coming in the future. Very cool concept on the robot, just thought there would be a lot more to it.
