### 1/5 — App not working with microbit

*2021-02-19, version 1.3*

When we code the micro bit, the rover works, but the controls on app do not work to control the rover despite Bluetooth being connected. 

We have tried two microbits and two mobile devices and we have the same issue

There is no troubleshooting guide

Can anyone can help?

### 1/5 — Crashes harder than my attempt to get classes in University

*2020-08-09*

### 4/5 — Please add calibration option

*2025-02-09, version 1.21*

I am using this for my hexapod for pi and it would be really useful if it had that option

### 4/5 — Works well

*2021-12-16*

I built the Freenove 4WD car kit. This app is a useful tool for testing the vehicle. It is fun to play with, and it works well. You have to pay close attention to the kit tutorial to get it to work properly, as far as what you have to do to the kit to get the app to connect

### 4/5 — Works well for Hexapod

*2021-11-01, version 1.7*

Simple but effective controller for the pi Hexapod. Would be good if the app filled the screen space, and would be useful to have the Callibration option, but that’s all I’d change.

### 5/5 — Freenove Big Hexapod app seems excellent!

*2022-07-31*

I got the big hexapod for raspberry pi kit, and it took me 4 months of on again/off again tinkering to get it fully assembled and working. I have to say, Freenove support was excellent; they sent me a replacement controller board and 6 replacement motors when they saw my videos of how my fully assembled beast simply didn’t behave correctly. Also, on the client side, it took me trying with 3 different computers before I was able to get all the Python installations to work. But once all that happened, calibration went smoothly. And THEN I got to use the iPhone app to control the robot. And the app worked GREAT! It took one relaunch to enable the video feed, but other than that, I couldn’t ask for a much better interface. After *loads* of effort, I’m finally able to play with the thing! And the app is much more convenient controller than using a computer.

### 5/5 — Awesome App!

*2020-10-31*

After spending so much time creating my Quadruped Robot I was nervous that it wouldn’t connect to my IPhone. But the robot creates a hotspot for my phone to connect to and works perfectly once connected. There is even an option to record actions and play them, so the robot can move on its own 😍😍
