### 1/5 — Poorly laid out for ios

*2025-10-20, version 3.9.5*

Not fitting on screen properly, its horrible to use

### 2/5 — Bad and pieces are missing

*2025-02-23, version 3.9.5*

This app is good just some of the pieces are missing and I searched the whole thing and found nothing.So I wouldn’t get this, also it has like 600 steps for the robot, I expected like 50.

### 1/5 — Can’t Register

*2024-06-19, version 3.9.5*

This software is useless without the ability to register it with UBtech, and their server always reports system error when trying to set up an account.

### 5/5 — Jimu robot

*2024-04-20, version 3.9.5*

I build a robot and it tickles me

### 2/5 — App problems

*2023-10-28, version 3.9.5*

Didn’t work

### 1/5 — Pieces do not fit

*2023-10-19, version 3.9.5*

I’m just playing what do you want on the Roblox instead? It won’t work the piece won’t fit so this app is just routing so I just thought I just I’m just gonna throw this thing a Way.

### 4/5 — App problems

*2023-09-06, version 3.9.5*

Toy is great but app is glitching. The icons are too big, I cannot scroll, and when I try to open my account page, the app just closes. The instructions work normally though. This was probably developed for iPad and these glitches most likely happen only on iPhone.

### 2/5 — Ehhh

*2023-07-01, version 3.9.5*

It’s not the best there is not much to do as the creator removed the uni bot adventure the best bit was building it.

### 4/5 — I love it but something is wrong

*2023-03-11, version 3.9.5*

So when I got to a part, a piece was missing.It was a purple with 6 holes and I couldn’t find the piece!So I didn’t build it for a long time.My dad said I should either SKIP the part or use another piece .Sadly,I can’t find a another piece that fits.Plus,I really really really want to finish it so I will TRY to skip the part and we'll see what happens.

### 1/5 — App won’t work

*2022-12-30, version 3.9.5*

We can get into the app but when we go into building the truck is won’t download anything. Not happy!!
