### 4/5 — It is kinda great

*2025-09-27, version 3.5.3*

I use the BuWizz 3.0 pro it’s great and all but I have trouble with steering control it would twitch a lot I wish they add the steering angle limiter like on Rc car steering when at wrong angles

### 2/5 — Connection is horrible

*2025-06-08, version 3.5.1*

Not sure what the hype was about but I purchased BuWizz 2.0 for my MOC and the battery has been horrible. Even with being directly next to the unit, the battery constantly disconnects and reconnects. This may be first and last BuWizz purchase

### 2/5 — Not possibile to drive a model with version 3.4.6

*2025-02-22, version 3.4.6*

With version 3.4.6 i cannot connect to the BuWizz 3 pro hub on model driver mode. Checking firmware works OK, but when I choose to driver a model, three is Connecting green bar and nothing happens. GeForce lasy updated app was working. Hub 3 pro with fw 3.22 and 1.10

### 2/5 — Bad Update

*2025-02-15, version 3.4.6*

Addressing connection issues is a very good thing. Unfortunately this update forces me to to install a new firmware in every BuWizz 2.0 that I own which drastically changes the way the BuWizz works. It now doesn’t go into standby once you disconnect the phone, instead it stays on until you press the button again. 

A couple of my MOCs have the BuWizz buried so deeply that I turn it on by plugging it in (through a fixed extension chord in the model). With this new update, I now have no possibility to turn these ones off once they’re on. 

I just don’t understand why every update has these huge problems. Why would you fundamentally change the way of operation of a device that’s been available for more than 6 years?

### 2/5 — Update 3.2.15 Breaks multiple BuWizz functionality

*2024-08-14*

Ever since the update listed in the title my 6x BuWizz 3.0 Pro car now has major issues and no longer drivable. There is major lag on inputs for each additional unit. With only 1 or 2 BuWizz 3.0 Pro it’s manageable but with 4+ the input lag becomes so egregious that the car will drive for 5-7 seconds after I’ve let off the throttle. Terrible update. With that being said the functionality and idea of the app are amazing but this update hurt a lot.

### 4/5 — BuWizz keeps shutting down after too much stress

*2023-12-23, version 3.1.8*

Not sure if it’s an app issue or a hardware issue but it keeps shutting down and I have to plug it back in to reboot it, sometimes it even goes into bootloader mode and loses all of its memory so I have to update it

### 4/5 — Can’t find Ford Raptor

*2023-06-13, version 3.1.8*

The app is great and all but want to get to the point you guys motorized the ford raptor which you guys can use the app but when I downloaded it I couldn’t find the ford raptor option please fix this

Edit 6/13/23: also the steering calibration doesn’t work

### 3/5 — Not so great to set up for tanks

*2023-04-06, version 2.3.15*

I looked up tutorials for tank steering, but that was used with an older version (probably 2.0).
It took me a few tries to set up, but afterwards it is really hard to control the power for my tank model. 
Hope that game controllers can connect to the app in the future like BrickController2.

### 2/5 — Naja

*2022-12-24, version 2.3.15*

Die App ist sehr gut gestalltet und leicht verständlich aber die Verbindung ist UNTERIRDISCH!

### 2/5 — Improvement desperatly needed

*2022-12-09, version 2.3.15*

Center Steering calibration multiple motors via one H-Slider is not possible. When I tried to achieve that Buwizz destroyed 2 Gears an bent multiple other parts. Center steering in general works poorly. Steering calibration only checks for 2 or 3 full rotations possible which totally disables the center steering option via wormgear.

Buwizz is a great product by itself but the app is sadly not that great when it comes to creativity and functionality. Can‘t believe that i would be saying this but control+ software made by lego is better and allows for more creativity.

### 3/5 — Не видит хаб

*2022-03-05, version 2.3.15*

Не видит

### 3/5 — Servo control doesn’t work

*2022-01-25, version 2.3.15*

When turn off profile servo motor (c+ L) switching in random side and destroying gears

### 2/5 — Steering calibration still not working

*2022-01-14, version 2.3.15*

I downloaded the new update for the BuWizz 3.0 in the manager tab and now my steering calibration isn’t working at all. It doesn’t even steer the wheels and I’m on flat ground, the crawler is very easy to pick up because it’s light. Is there any chance you can fix it? I’m shooting a video in 3 days…

### 3/5 — Buwizz 3.0

*2021-10-16, version 2.1.1*

Hardware top software so lala ich frag mich wo ist die Unterstützung zur Programmierung oder Sensoren 
Das fahren meiner Offroader macht aber riesen Spass mit ordentlich power aber die kalibrierung der PU Lenkung ist zu kräftig wäre gut wenn das mit der Powerkurve zu beeinflussen wäre .Der tolle G und Neigungssensor ist viel zu ungenau und eine Spielerei aber ohne Peak Blödsinn ein GPS wäre besser gewesen um die Geschwindigkeit messen zu können .der Preis ein Frechheit für die Leistung ich bereue es zwar nicht ihn gekauft zu haben aber weiter empfehlen kann ich den 3.0 nicht

### 4/5 — Не подключается control hub

*2021-08-02, version 2.0.21*

Не подключается control hub. До обновления все работало. Что делать?

### 3/5 — i would

*2021-08-02*

but i can’t use my lego hubs and i don’t have the buwizz

### 1/5 — Disappointing

*2025-05-06, version 3.5.1*

Center steering doesn’t work with the Audi E-tron and BuWizz 3.0

### 1/5 — Update 3.2.15 Breaks multiple BuWizz functionality

With that being said the functionality and idea of the app are amazing but this update hurt a lot. 

Update: Original review was in August. It is now November. Still no fix.

Second update : End of December, still no fix.

Third update : End of January, still no fix.

Fourth update : 3.4.6 does not fix the issue on iOS or Android devices. I will not be spending any more time or money on this product. 

P.S. If you are using 3 or less BuWizz 3.0 Pro, you should have no issues, any more than that and there is a huge latency issue that has yet to be resolved.

### 1/5 — Disaster

*2025-02-11, version 3.4.6*

After firmware update my model cannot be driven like before; commands arrive late, there is a gap in time from action in the app and response from BuWizz. I use the BuWizz 2.0. I want to revert back…

### 5/5 — Cool app

*2026-02-28, version 3.6.6*

It works perfectly well but I have a question how to connect two 2.0 and one 3.0 in one profile because I don’t know how to do that

### 5/5 — Génial!

*2026-01-30, version 3.6.1*

Le seul défaut c’est qu’on ne peux pas programmer des degrés spécifiques pour faire des choses plus complexes.
Alors si possible ajoutez cela.

Добавьте поддержу геймпадов!

### 5/5 — Parfait pour les modèles alternatifs

*2021-01-19, version 1.4.4*

Pour le commentaire de lego Alan: et les MOC tu connais?! 

Sans elle je n’aurais pas pu utiliser deux modèles alternatif de la 42100.

### 5/5 — I like this app, however we need something’s

*2021-01-09, version 1.4.4*

I like it, however, we also need the ability to code so we can program our Mocs. That’s all from me.

### 5/5 — Love It

*2020-04-25, version 1.2.2*

One of the best apps ever, definitely suggest it.

### 5/5 — It’s work!

*2020-04-21, version 1.2.2*

Electric motors from 42099 work perfectly!
