Still the best control for the WowWee Rovio!
The creator of this app has been fantastic at responding to issues when they occur. After iOS6, I was no longer able to use the Rovio as an offsite surveillance device so I contacted him. He replied by email very quickly and said he would work on it. Less than week a new version of the app! Fantastic!
I'd say it's much better, not as good as pre-iOS6 and still some choppiness. Thanks for working on it and be wonderful if it could be tweaked further.
Btw, check some of the other apps Tommy has created. If you have the AR.Drone like me, he's got apps for that too!

Rovio awesomeness
This app is actually better than I expected and easy to use I would wish you could give it ten stars!!!
Excellent
Fantastic UI. Stable. Well written.
Still being actively developed.
Oddly, I find the video slower in iPhone 5 running iOS 6 compares with my iPad running 5.1. I think this is apples fault.
Otherwise this app is well recommended. Keep up the good work.

iOS 6
This was perfect Until I updated the phone to the iOS 6 now you cannot See any video at all.
(Used to be) Solid - Update
Update: unfortunately the new version almost makes the app unusable. I'm on ios6 and the previous version ran fine, but as soon as I updated the app the video streaming became laggy like a slideshow.
The new video brightness feature is a welcome feature. I will be using that a lot if the video lag gets fixed.
*****old review****
This app is a must-buy for Rovio owners. The video feed is better than the browser app!
However a few gripes:
1.)The sound clip function plays static more often than not.
2.)Needs more precise control options. It can be hard to control with the virtual joystick when it lags.
Still a stellar app though!

Best there is, but
Very nice app.
There is not a better Rovio controller outside of a a teal computer.
Just one complaint
1) no way to stop the HOME command once it starts. If I change my mind, or my dog knocks the sensor, Rovio just spins forever trying to find home.
The voice commands are cool although sometimes it repeats itself.
What would be great would be if Rovio could play a PHRASE THAT I TYPE. that would be wicked cool. Other apps have voice generators, why can't this one.

iPhone control excellent
I have found this rovio controller to be very intuitive, the control is excellent, very precise and fast. All the controls are included, including the ability to communicate through the speakers with pre defined text, however I can't help but think that it would be better if you could type talk using the same system, or even the use of the microphone to talk would be equally welcome. Also i would like to be able to hear the rovios microphone, as if I was away from home, I could then use it to communicate with my family. Apart from that it is excellent, I would recommend this to anyone who has a rovio.

Good app.
The apps works good need to be able to hear and talk threw it.
Awesome!
I've tried several other Rovio apps, and this by far is the best! Just the ease of control is worth using it, not to mention the other features. Nice work!
So far good ap.
Pro: works well and utilize Internet access to Rovio too. I like the Rovio phrases. Worth buying if you own Rovio.
Con: no iPad tilt feature capability to move Rovio and Rovio's easy 360 turn feature is not available. Only turn left and right stick and gliding stick on the right side for control.
