### 2/5 — This “update” stinks…

*2023-10-01, version 3.8.0*

They must not teach good user interface design in schools anymore. Or they just don’t bother because turning your app into a sales ad has become more important. Now, after this “update”, all the main tasks that I want to do with my ‘bot are buried under at least three, non-obvious menu layers. The driving controls now stink and take all the fun out of just playing with my ‘bot. The Home screen has become advertising space instead of a launching pad for the things that I actually want to do with my ‘bot. If I had realized how bad this “upgrade” was, I would not have “upgraded” my ‘bot and app, and continued to use the older versions of both.

### 2/5 — Update

*2022-12-11, version 3.2.1*

So this app was like the best before that update that stripped the app of half its features. I love my Evo, but now, I cannot name him, have different accounts, do ozolaunch, and so much more! Plus, the app is as hard as heck to navigate! I also agree with another review that said we need to see the battery percentage of our Evos. Please add a JavaScript conversion option in blockly like it used to be and add more programming options. Also, the driving thing is crap now. You cannot even drive him well and cannot run programs, or change his lights with ease like you used to. Basically, I didn’t play with ozobot for maybe a month or so, and then I came to this crap update. I’m not going to sugarcoat it. This update is complete crap. Evollve, please fix this and bring back the old features that you scrapped.  Because I love my Evo and the fact that you can 3d print assessories for him.
Look, I don’t want to call this app crap, but please fix it and bring back the old, fun, interface and features and I will give you the best review.
(Or at least respond to this review to tell me WHY YOU RUINED YOUR AMAZING APP!?)
Overall, I love their product, but I despise this new update they made to the app. That is why I only gave this 2 stars. Please write more reviews like this in the hope they will care and bring back the good in their app.

### 4/5 — Great Robot Just Needs one Thing

*2022-09-08, version 3.1.0*

I’ve had this robot since 2018 and it’s been a blast having it, but I want the app to show what percent your robot is at, I know it flashes red but that’s not enough in my opinion

### 4/5 — How do you connect to iPhone

*2022-08-27, version 3.0.0*

I am very furious that I can’t connect it.

### 3/5 — Ozobot Evo

### 1/5 — Fix it…

*2025-11-25, version 3.13.3*

I’m usually not one to judge, but there is literally NO REASON that the post 2022 features had to be removed. Features include: 
chat, account, friends, customization of each individual light, joystick, emotes, reactions in the drive menu, and biggest of all, the super hero experience pack which you have to pay MORE MONEY to get a super hero version, and that’s not even all of the removed features. 

If you see this. PLEASE FIX THE APP. It used to be so fun, now it’s just annoying. The one good feature added was meta bot, but that was hardly worth all the previously listed things. 

Please.

Ps: the main difference between the bit and the Evo was the app. Now it’s  basically just a cleaned up bit but with sounds.

### 1/5 — SO BAD😢😡

*2024-12-26, version 3.12.0*

It did not let me play normally and I needed do use some code do use it when I just want to move it like  rc car or something🤫🧏‍♂️🧏

### 1/5 — Stripped bot of features

*2024-08-13, version 3.12.0*

I’m some one who just loves to play with these little things, but now the app is just… boring. I would have given a higher review, but the app’s features are more focused towards metabot. What happened to accounts, Ozolaunch, tricks and more? Pls fix this

### 1/5 — Killed my ozobot

*2023-07-10, version 3.7.0*

Updated the app and it tried to perform an update to the firmware which failed and turned my robot into a brick...

### 1/5 — Bad

*2023-06-24, version 3.7.0*

The old app was better.  With this new update you broke the app and got rid of all the features I loved.  Now I can’t even get the bot to follow a line.

### 1/5 — GeilomT

*2023-06-20, version 3.6.0*

Geilo

### 1/5 — BRING BACK THE OLD APP

*2023-01-29, version 3.4.0*

you RUINED it

### 1/5 — New update horrible

*2022-10-31, version 3.1.0*

I love my evo but the new update is horrible. I messed up my evo. I had a flashing program on it before and when I try to put a new one it blinks green then played the old one! Also I loved the follow trick and when you could add Al those to show off to my friends. Now I cannot do that even through ozoblobkly. Also my Evo was muted from before and I can’t unmute it. You also removed the ability to be able to customize each light color. Why would you do this? I miss the old app.

Thank you

### 1/5 — Used to be better

*2022-08-24, version 3.0.0*

App has been stripped of most of the features since the 3.0 update.

### 1/5 — Loved it, but soon went downhill

*2022-08-18, version 3.0.0*

I loved this app and my Evo, I really liked the follow feature too. But after the new update, they removed sounds, the ability too customize each light to a different color, they also removed Ozolaunch witch I loved to play with. I also can’t do tricks anymore. I can still drive my Evo and do Ozoblockey, but thats about it.
