If you find one of these you will most likely need to do the same. I had forgotten how much fun this thing is and it’s practically. ### 1/5 — Refuses to reconnect to WiFi *2023-12-25, version 1.4.8* Won’t go past connecting to it’s self. Doesn’t allow next step of picking a network. ### 1/5 — Can’t hook up to WiFi *2022-07-21, version 1.4.8* The app doesn’t work , I can’t get past the part where it shows how to connect through my cell app my home WiFi and put the password but beyond that I can’t have access to controls and the app won’t allow me to move further . ### 2/5 — why is the soft freezing up now? *2022-04-10, version 1.4.8* still would like to use it. ### 3/5 — At least for mobile device. *2022-03-06, version 1.4.8* Please make the cellular work instead of using Wi-Fi across the whole world? It really killed me that it doesn’t use cellular or it won’t use cellular they can only use the public Wi-Fi or some type of Wi-Fi to get to it. App bought Riley smart home safety robot people can you fix this little problem? ### 1/5 — WHY :( *2020-09-12, version 1.4.8* Today I was trying to play with this but it does not connect to my phone which is iPhone x i kept trying but never worked ### 5/5 — Amazing *2020-05-16, version 1.4.8* This robot is the best and I really recommend you to buy it has night vision you can control it AND you can hear and talk on the robot! Awesome and wish I could do more then 5 stars. ### 2/5 — Doesn’t work anymore *2019-09-11, version 1.4.8* For the past few years I have enjoyed having this robot but now it doesn’t seem to work any more. I keep getting an error message saying my robot is off but clearly it’s on! The charger thing doesn’t charge my robot and I can’t get in touch with customer service to help me! ### 1/5 — Don’t waste $$ *2019-08-06, version 1.4.8* Will not connect regardless after using all troubleshooting measures... Wasted $160!!! DO NOT BUY!!!!! ### 1/5 — Save your money *2019-06-22, version 1.4.8* Never has worked right It doesn’t dock itself if battery low, if someone knocks it off You have to be home to fix it, it works if I’m stationary ## Frequently asked questions about appbot RILEY ### What does appbot RILEY do?
