### 3/5 — Just a lil bug

*2026-02-02, version 1.2.0*

If you check the timer, I could see that nothing shows on the time selection. When I’m doing something, the timer set itself to 23 hours. Fix this bug I kindly ask.

### 4/5 — Gute App

*2022-08-26, version 1.1.5*

Die App ist schön gestaltet und fördert die Kreativität. Ich würde mir aber wünschen, dass der Stromkreis erst geschlossen sein muss, bevor die Maschine funktioniert. So werden Fehlvorstellungen vermieden.

### 4/5 — It’s really good but

*2021-12-27*

OK but I wish there was an undo button and because I am playing this and then boom I accidentally Drag a Wrong block into I can’t fix it I don’t know how to start then I just have to create a new profile it’s it’s really frustrating

**Developer response:** Noted! Considering this for an update.

### 5/5 — 권장사항

*2021-04-11, version 1.1.3*

### 3/5 — Photos are underexposed

*2020-08-15*

When I send a signal from one device to another and then trigger the camera to save a photo it always saves a horribly underexposed photo.  How do I get it to adjust the exposure time to get a well balanced photo the way the actual camera app does?!

**Developer response:** Hi! Thank you for your feedback. Could you please email us at support@tinybop.com with some more information so that we can better figure out what might be going on? What type of device are you using? Thanks!

### 5/5 — Please... review for the robot factory by tinybop

*2019-12-08*

Can you please the change the icon for the robot factory by tinybop, so it does not have the eye on the robot?on the icon for the app? Dad won’t get the app if it has the eye👁. It creeps him out. I will rate five stars for the robot factory by tinybop if he gets it. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ sorry if I’m bothering you...   

The eye is on the logo or picture of the app 
Like the picture of the robot face on the logo. Give it 2 eyes . Sorry for the trouble.

**Developer response:** Hi! We are so sorry to hear you dad doesn’t like the Robot Factory icon. You can tell him the robot has another eye on the side of his head not visible in the icon! One of the cool things about The Robot Factory is you can make robots however you imagine them, with one eye, two eyes, or twenty!

### 1/5 — Limited and Not working well

*2025-12-26, version 1.2.0*

The basic instructional machines work well enough but it becomes very limited once the machines extend beyond the 3 or 4 in the manual.  Eg. The sound function does nog work in a self-built machine outside the scope of the instructions.

### 1/5 — Imposible descargar versión para iOS 9.3.6

*2022-12-05, version 1.1.5*

Imposible descargar versión para iOS 9.3.6, a pesar de que la tengo comprada, me aparece constantemente un error de que no se puede instalar. Deberían poder solucionar ese problema. No hay modo de descargarla ni siquiera recurriendo a mi larga lista de aplicaciones compradas. Un cero para Tinybop y otro para Apple.

### 5/5 — Still one of the best gadget builders

*2024-10-17*

Still going strong, holding up from simple builds when my son was 6 to now 9 and building multi device booby traps.

**Developer response:** We love to hear this. It's so much fun to hear about the "devices" kids have made with this app. We're considering an update to incorporate some of the new sensors in late model phones/iPads. Any suggestions on what you'd like to see in the future?

### 5/5 — True To The Name

*2021-04-17, version 1.1.3*

The Everything Machine can allow you to make, well, pretty much anything, from a simple light switch to something as complex as Logic circuitry. Tinybop really made sure The Everything Machine stays true to it's name.
