### 2/5 — The app won’t work 😡

*2025-01-18, version 1.9.3*

I bought the AImubot version of the product. (Just vernie) I don’t understand why it won’t work if it’s the same product but different brands. I’m disappointed that the LEGO boost app won’t work because I think it’s a cute kid friendly app but developers please adjust this so other people can connect their OKK-( wich is the brand I got Vernie from) products! I think the app is 3 stars because if it were to work, it’s a handy app. Please fix this issue and thank you thank you thank you soooo much if you do!😊

*2023-06-22, version 1.9.3*

after a few years of being on a shelf, i wanted to see if my lego boost still worked, i was lucky it did and i realised there was no remote control mode!
i looked it up and i found this app, clean joystick and head moving controls and fast connection, great app!
