Does not let me connect to app at all. ### 3/5 — Over a million dollars in revenue but no updates? *2022-12-16, version 1.0.6* My kids like it, but it’s been 3 years on a cool product with a supposed ‘mission’ and no updates. Boooo. ### 1/5 — Old and outdated *2022-02-07, version 1.0.6* My kids LOVED this toy/app but after about a month or two they got tired of the same songs and stories. This robot has a ton of potential for older kids 7-9, but they fall short. Think about adding songs that are less baby like (who wants to hear itsy bitsy spider after the age of 3?). Also there hasn’t been an update in two years. Bland, and boring. Also, there should be a notification when a voice message is sent. ### 4/5 — My son loves Codi *2021-01-06, version 1.0.6* The app seems outdated, but it works. There is a good amount in the library and it’s cool that you can add or remove songs from their library. The things I don’t like: I would love an alert that my son sent me a voice message so i can respond instead of him just waiting forever and I never even know. When my son sends me a message I have to listen to it like a phone call to my ear. I wish there was a speaker option. There are times I open the app up and it shows something is playing, so I hit pause, but that actually started to play music. So the pause play button is quirky sometimes. Annoying if you’re not close by to confirm if playing music or not. The app lags here and there or ignores whatever I just did. Lol Overall my son loves it, the app could be improved so the parents can love the app. 4 stars but because most of the annoying quirks don’t bother my son. Just me and my wife. I’d buy Codi again if I had to go back in time. ### 2/5 — Too much parent work *2020-12-30, version 1.0.6* You can schedule things. For clean up, brushing teeth, bed time and such the parent has to go to the app and press a button each time. Why on earth is it set up like that? I was thinking this would be an amazing alternative to the octopus watch. Unfortunately it’s not. It’s just a fun toy and it ends at age 8. Wish I would have known that as my child is over 7 already. The chat option doesn’t work very well, it’s a great option but wish it worked easier. It disconnects from the wifi and reconnects right away often also and it’s extremely irritating. Wish there were more song and story options. It has some really great fables just wish there was more. ### 5/5 — Great robot to replace tablets! *2019-06-22, version 1.0.4* Very easy to setup and use! I can let Codi do sooo many things with my son and he loves it! Replacing his tablet has been hard, but Codi did it! ### 1/5 — Wont pair *2019-04-21, version 1.0.4* I have the same issue. The device wont connect to wifi and says the password is incorrect when it’s not. What a disappointment! ### 1/5 — Wifi *2019-04-07, version 1.0.4* Won’t pair to WiFi. Says the password is wrong. I’ve confirmed that I am using the correct password and have even rebooted the router. This has been a problem since we’ve gotten Codi. ## Frequently asked questions about Codi Parent ### What is Codi Parent? Codi Parent is a companion app designed to work with the Codi Smart Toy.
