### 2/5 — iOS 15.5 videos not working on instructions.

*2022-06-15, version 1.0.10*

Renders the app nearly worthless on my iPhone. Thankfully I was able to find instructions online and view them on the iPad.

### 2/5 — Potential, not executed

*2021-04-18, version 1.0.9*

Tried the rover kit with my kids on my phone but the instructions aren’t very good and there’s only a pause button, no rewind. No audio either. As an adult it was complicated to figure out what to do with the folding of the base. Kids and I both got frustrated and everyone walked away without getting anywhere. Returning it to the library.

### 1/5 — DUDE FIX THIS APP

*2020-08-17, version 1.0.9*

Dude nothing will load and it’s really annoying just fix it I’m probably going to return my kit if it won’t load.
🤬🤬🤬

### 1/5 — Worst app

*2020-06-21*

Unable to download any of the instructions, what a waste of time

### 1/5 — Can’t download either!!

*2020-05-17*

Zero stars if possible. There are no paper instructions included in the kit, and after spending 30minutes downloading the app it failed several times right before it completed. I have THE latest apple products and awesome wifi, still doesn’t work. Now dealing with a disappointed child on top of having wasted my precious time. Nasty product for parents. Pathetic

### 1/5 — THIS IS HORRIBLE

*2020-02-10, version 1.0.9*

I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THIS BECAUSE THIS IS TRASH AND IT DOESNT COME WITH ALL THE PIECES AND THE ROBOT CURSED AT MY 2 year daughter

### 1/5 — 👎🏽👎🏽App Downloads, Activities/Instructions Do Not

*2019-12-30*

The app *looks* great! Unfortunately, the actual activities and build instructions do NOT download so you can’t actually use the app 🤷🏽‍♀️

Very disappointing considering how expensive the kits are.

### 1/5 — What a piece of crap

*2019-12-27, version 1.0.9*

This is, without a doubt, one of the worst apps I have ever used.  My son has a rover that he cannot build because the app refuses to download its own instructions.  No instructions are supplied with the rover itself (as someone else said, how cheap do you have to be to not supply a pdf or printed instructions, and because of LittleBits mind-bending decision to gate every subsequent step in the app behind the use of instructions, we can’t do anything.  We are now on our SEVENTEETH “download error” from your servers on your app with your directions, complete with reset of the percentages downloaded for no clearly identifiable reason.  I will never buy a product from LittleBits again.  My son would better off playing with sticks and rocks than your broken junk.

### 1/5 — Can’t download the instructions inside the app.

*2019-09-29*

Can’t download the instructions inside the app to see how to make and use the guitar

### 2/5 — Very Meh

*2019-09-13*

There are only three kits and the Rule Your Room kit isn’t one of them. Also it tells you to download the app on the box which is confusing since it isn’t even on the app.

### 1/5 — Won’t download

*2019-07-10, version 1.0.9*

Just adding another “This app won’t download the content it’s supposed to” review so maybe the developer will fix it. We were trying to install the program for the space rover, but it hangs up at 82 percent.

### 1/5 — This is ridiculous

*2024-11-06*

I got an avengers hero inventor for kit Christmas, so I download the app and there is nothing that says avengers. This needs to be fixed ASAP because I’ve been sitting in my basement for a month trying to figure this out.

### 1/5 — Bad app

*2022-12-28, version 1.0.10*

They are a bad app they could not help me on my stuff and I got a f+ because of them I don’t thinks that’s it’s me it’s them 🤬👎🏾👎🏾👎🏾👎🏾👎🏾

### 1/5 — Can’t get Droid App

*2022-12-07*

Since Sphero took over, they discontinued the app for the LittleBits Star Wars Droid Inventor Kit. The kit is still being sold in various places online, but it doesn’t work as there is no app. Not very ethical. I would have thought the company had an obligation to at least keep the app supported for a few years for all those people who spent hundreds on the kit.

### 1/5 — No support for products just a couple of years old

*2022-11-08, version 1.0.10*

Very disappointed. Star Wars kit no longer supported. $100 disappointment.

### 1/5 — We’ll never know

*2022-03-30, version 1.0.10*

Maybe if you have fiber internet you can download the app and then all the other instructions, but we gave up on it.

### 1/5 — Bruh

*2022-01-13*

Doesn't load ever…

### 1/5 — Mother flipers

*2022-01-01, version 1.0.10*

This mother fliping app dose not have the R2-D2 kit.

### 1/5 — Marvel kit

*2021-12-25*

Your box I received for Christmas as a present advertises “in-app activities” but no such app exists so I can not use the kit without instructions

### 1/5 — Never buy their products again

*2021-12-21, version 1.0.10*

Bought the little bits Star Wars Droid for my son, found out the app was discontinued and there are no instructions and there is no way to operate it without the app! Terrible company terrible products.

### 1/5 — Where is the Avengers Hero Inventor App?

*2021-11-27*

Such a cool piece of kit… makes the disappointment of the software not being available even worse….

### 5/5 — Awesome app and toy!

*2021-01-04, version 1.0.9*

I’ve seen a lot of bad reviews but there is absolutely no problem. The app works fine you just download the instructions 1 time and the toy is super great!

### 5/5 — Pretty Good So Far...

*2020-10-08*

I completed the first invention with my class, and once finished, all of the activities started to unlock as we worked through them. No downloading needed. My grade 8 class is having fun with these. Thanks

### 5/5 — Nice

*2020-06-11, version 1.0.9*

Purchase this about A year ago. The app was bad and the instructions were not download so we could not do any of the activities and we had to find the instructions for the guitar online. A year later and the app is working great so far. Able to play games at use instructions! Vary happy now! The games a pretty good and fun! The app has also been helpful because it told us things we didn’t know the guitar could do

### 5/5 — Great app. Cool STEM toy.

*2020-03-16, version 1.0.9*

My son received the Rover as a gift. It took a few min to download its info. But it is fun, detailed. And easy to follow. The controls work great. No complaints here.

### 5/5 — Good 👍

*2020-01-12, version 1.0.9*

I really liked putting together my robot. It was hard to follow along with what they were doing. I got the mars rover, it should be branded at 10+, not 8+. Overall a great app and a great idea, just change a few things

### 5/5 — Best app ever 😘😘!!!

*2019-04-26*

This app is the best and it’s very easy to navigate

### 4/5 — Please have this available in chromebook and laptops

*2023-12-01*

This is an awesome app. I’m currently teaching STEAM and we are using this to guide the students on their inventions. I teach in a title I school and it would be really great if this will be available in chromebooks since Chromebook is the only tool available for my students to use. Thank you!

### 4/5 — Tell me pls

*2022-08-16, version 1.0.10*

### 4/5 — Long time to download instruction!!!

*2019-12-30, version 1.0.9*
