## What is CHiP?

CHiP is your smart, affectionate, and trainable robot dog. How you respond uniquely shapes his behaviour, so your CHiP will have his own personality.

Use the CHiP app to reward good behaviour with a treat, track mood and health, control CHiP’s movement and even replay your favourite tricks.

App Features:
Notification Center: The CHiP app keeps you up to date on CHiP's mood and health - how happy, hungry, and energetic CHiP is feeling. When his mood or health changes, you’ll receive a detailed update!

Tricks & Treats: When CHiP learns a new trick, use your app to reward CHiP a treat. CHiP’s tricks are saved in the trickbook on your CHiP app.

Control CHiP: Turn your smartphone or tablet into a remote control for CHiP and take command of his lightning quick moves and cute tricks!

### 1/5 — Not good

*2025-09-08, version 1.0.34*

It got stuck on an update and after that it doesn’t work fine and no answer from company what to do next

### 5/5 — Works Years Later!

*2025-06-06, version 1.0.34*

Well i’m too old to use it but it still works

### 4/5 — CHiP is good but could use more fun things.

*2024-07-26, version 1.0.34*

I have 2 CHiPs. One is normal and the other is chocolate. Unfortunately tho my chocolate chip has low battery and no matter how much I try to charge it it doesn’t charge so I just use my normal CHiP, named Biscuit. Anyways about the game, it’s fun, but not fun enough in my opinion because all you could do is play fetch with your CHiP, feed it, and control it. I think that there should be more games to play with your CHiP. Please add more games and fun stuff to the CHiP app.

### 5/5 — ТОП!!!!

*2024-06-11, version 1.0.34*

Классно что в этом приложении можно заставить chep

### 2/5 — Добавите- вопросов не будет

*2023-10-20, version 1.0.34*

Из за брака почти полностью не работает одна лапа у чипа, что для его цены очень плохо:|
Ну хорошо, даже если так, можете ли вы добавить обновление чтобы можно было указать не рабочую лапу и прилагать большее усилие для неё, или что то подобное?

### 5/5 — So fun

*2023-07-08, version 1.0.34*

This app is the best and I can do almost anything and I can feed them play from Vinny from go to market amazing really actually for smart. He puts his trip and your award so it’s so good and I always get an update from time to

### 1/5 — Please fix my complaint

*2023-01-15, version 1.0.34*

Why is my CHIP not working? I tried connecting it and it didn’t work. This is the one from 2019 and I don’t know why it’s not working I tried looking for the remote and I have not seen it on Amazon or we wow I would like to say, I definitely don’t recommend because if you have a old original chip, it’s probably most likely not to work, I would like to know who’s in charge of this and if it please tell me a way to fix it I can give you one more chance, but I would need to find a way to fix this. I want my chip to be connected to my phone. I hope you can fix my complaint or else, I will delete that. Please fix the complaint that I have just set. I’ve heard of this many times and I would like this to be fixed because this is a problem because you kept us to buy a whole new other version. I bought this I not get the controller

### 2/5 — Грустно

*2022-12-07, version 1.0.34*

У меня робот собака, качала приложение, пишет: где ваша собака? Я проверила связь с блютус, сново запустила. В итоге он не нашёл. Что делать? У меня собака белая с розовым пузом, ушами и хвостом.
Люди, помогите, если что то знаете, то пишите отзывы или я жду ответа от разработчиков.
