However, if you just select “next” during setup then the app asks you to enable BT automatically. I’m guessing it’s something that changed in the app that the developers didn’t anticipate, but I can see why some people wouldn’t know what to do next. Otherwise; the app updated my portal and then I could play games. ### 3/5 — Application is not accessible with voiceover screen reader *2024-01-27, version 2.1.1* I was sent the portalSmart Target, and tried to use the application. I use the VoiceOver screen reader. When using the app, I found that there is nothing to indicate that there is a button to click on. I would really like to assist in beta testing this application, to make it more user-friendly for those of us who are blind/visually impaired, that use the voiceover screen reader. I would be more than happy to provide additional feedback, (through Voice), if that’s required. Please let me know if I can beta test this app to make it more usable. Before I end this review, I would like to additionally, add, that some buttons were not clickable as well. A suggestion that I will go ahead and make here, is to have a (Voice preferences), menu, to have the app read out the score, as you are blasting the Target. Please fix this, and I will gladly give the application five stars. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Doesn’t Work/App Unfriendly *2025-11-21* The gel portal worked fine with minor bugs and glitches until I tried to connect it to a new phone. Now it just flashes yellow and white lights and the app doesn’t register it at all. I looked up the manual and used multiple help guides and yet there seems no way to factory reset the product the app relies on and alas no way to connect it to my phone. Also, the app makes you sign in every time you open. Why? Could really use some help. Thanks. ### 1/5 — Connected once *2025-11-15, version 2.9.6* App connected one time and the stopped working. Waste of money ### 1/5 — Portal not working *2025-02-25, version 2.4* The portal wouldn’t connect i’ve been in settings and the app waiting for it to connect but it didn’t work ### 1/5 — Does not connect. Total scam *2024-12-22, version 2.4* The app does not connect to my phone via Bluetooth or wifi. Did not connect to my girlfriend’s phone, or her brothers. The app forces you to “opt in” to receiving marketing. The whole thing is a scam. The app doesn’t connect and then they sell your data to companies to bombard you with emails. -10 out of 10 terrible app terrible experience. The target was a complete waste of money. Terrible company too. ### 1/5 — Nope *2024-08-06, version 2.3* Wouldn’t even connect to the target ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2024-05-06, version 2.3* This app worked the first day and has been stuck on the “create a profile” page every since. We’ve even tried resetting it. ### 1/5 — Awful *2024-03-16, version 2.2* This app is terrible. Doesn’t show up on settings so is useless. ### 1/5 — App no good *2023-12-31, version 2.1* Couldn’t get iPhone 15 to give blue tooth permission so app is useless on this phone even reset all app permissions and still wouldn’t do nothing ### 1/5 — Settings couldn’t find app *2023-12-25, version 2.1* Despite installing the app, settings couldn’t find the app to change permissions to connect through bluetooth. First time I’ve ever had an issue like this with an app. Unable to use the app with the target. ### 2/5 — Doesn’t work *2025-09-10, version 2.9.1* I installed this SPECIFICALLY to use on my halo plasma blaster but it seems to only connect to the portal. Its advertised as being able to connect to smart blaster to be able to change the light colours and count how many shots you have fired; unfortunately it does none of this and wont even connect to the gun. Other than that, it seems to work fine with the portal, although i don’t own it so check other reviews. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Gel guns are peak *2026-06-20, version 2.9.6* 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 ### 5/5 — Cool game *2025-11-26, version 2.9.6* Super fun ### 5/5 — tracking my stats!!! *2025-11-20, version 2.9.6* cant wait to track my stats around the world!!!!! ### 5/5 — Super fun to play *2023-07-11, version 1.0.3* App is easy to use and makes the gel blaster experience even more fun. Highly recommend using multiple Portal targets connected together ### 5/5 — Connecting 6 portals is so dope!!! *2023-06-27, version 1.0.3* One portal is cool, a bunch of portals is a game changer for Gel Blasting. I’m excited to see what game modes come next! Keep up the great work!! ### 5/5 — Crazy Fun and Many Ways to Play *2023-06-22, version 1.0.1* The portal is great and app is super easy to use. Six games out the gate. Other apps only have one or two. Can’t wait to see what Gel Blaster does with this thing. ### 5/5 — Several fun games! *2023-06-06, version 1.0.1* We had the gel blaster and decided to get the target and try it out. Had great time trying out all the games. My favorite games are Duel and Match. React is good, but I wish it was a bit more challenging. Kids loved playing the games and kept them entertained for a couple hours. We may be buying more targets or portals in the near future. ### 5/5 — Good fun *2023-06-02, version 1.0.1* It’s straightforward and the gamemodes are fun! ### 5/5 — I like Gel Blaster! *2023-05-25, version 1.0* They make good blasters and can’t wait for their target! ### 5/5 — Great app!! *2023-05-25, version 1.0* Really fun app with a great design. 😁 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
