### 1/5 — R2 is stuck in “third-leg” mode unless I pay $

*2026-06-30*

I was excited to find this app and give life to my old Sphero R2-D2 so I downloaded it right away. The app is great, but after connecting to R2 I discovered that all I can do is just drive it around. All the features and functions from the old Sphero app are locked behind a paywall. Because of that my R2 won’t retract its third leg to stand up unless I pay to put it in a different pose. A monthly subscription or a $20 lifetime payment for a copy of an app that’s no longer supported? That’s ridiculous. I’m glad the app works but my R2 is now stuck (probably indefinitely)  and I will not support this greedy app developer unless they remove their “premium” features

**Developer response:** Thanks for the feedback. Just to clarify, R2-D2’s third leg can be retracted at any time by tapping the **Disconnect** button, so your droid is not stuck. The premium features help support continued development and maintenance of the app, including compatibility updates and new features.

### 1/5 — App works!

*2025-12-29*

The app works. But the app author is greedy as hell. 20/year subscription model is awful. 20 bucks one time would be much more like it. 😒

**Developer response:** Thanks for your feedback. We understand pricing preferences vary and we are currently exploring additional options, including a possible lifetime plan, to make the app more accessible. We appreciate you trying the app and sharing your thoughts.

### 2/5 — Free please?

*2026-07-06*

PLEASE make this free I’ve had this bb-8 sphero and just found it but I want to see everything it can do but I don’t have 20$ at the moment moments so I’m very limited, also I scanned and he won’t pop up

**Developer response:** I totally understand. BB-8 isn’t supported yet, but it’s coming soon in the next release. The purchase helps support updates and development. Thanks for your patience!

### 3/5 — Wish it could connect….

*2026-03-29*

### 5/5 — APP WORKS !!!

### 5/5 — AWESOME

*2026-04-22*

My r2-D2 works! I love the fact that you made it sound that way when it disconnects! But could you allow r2-Q5 to connect along with r2? The app is great

**Developer response:** Awesome! I'm glad you were able to bring your r2-d2 back to life! Stay tuned! more robots coming soon!
