### 1/5 — Unusable

*2026-01-06*

90% of the functions don’t work

### 2/5 — Much potential but not yet

*2021-10-02*

Very disappointed.coding part of the app has little functionality; I expected more for the price of the robot.
Activity shown in the preview doesn’t even allow me to access any of the levels, not even the first one!
Glorified, expensive toy. Please fix your app. There is so much potential!

### 1/5 — App

*2020-04-11*

It failed to connect with my android...when I use controller mode on iOS the function to simply walk forward doesn’t work.

### 1/5 — Unusable most button fall out of the view screen

*2020-02-02*

You get stuck 90% of the time since they placed buttons like clos or confirm outside of the screen view. This app was probably never tested on iPhone. Probably made for Android and poorly ported to apple. Useless and a total rip off.

### 1/5 — Good potential but way too buggy

*2019-12-26*

This could probably be fun but so many of the main functions are unusable in this buggy app. Surprised Apple even let it be released on their platform.

### 1/5 — Iphone8 no sync need help

*2019-11-26*

My Alpha 1S will not conmect to my Iphone 8
Settings in phone show alpha 1 is connected bug robot does can not be synced in app
Also when turned on Alpha does not go into”ready” mode.

### 2/5 — Robot won’t execute actions from the app!!

*2019-10-27*

I have downloaded a bunch of actions from the app but when I hit play it only plays a couple seconds and then stops!! Please advise as this makes the robot next to useless!

### 2/5 — Very buggy

*2018-08-09*

I cannot complete the registration it stop at naming the robot and I cannot go next. Also in the courses it got stock in the go exploring lesson and I cannot start it.

### 1/5 — 无法保存

*2017-01-02*

### 1/5 — Alpha

*2016-11-18, version 2.7.1*
