The Skyrocket support link sends you to a blank webpage! ### 1/5 — Doesn’t even connect?!?! *2022-06-26* I’ve tried for about 2 hours now and cannot even get it to connect. My poor baby boy is now crying because this stupid robot won’t even connect. We watched videos tutorials and nothing!!!

I restart the whole stupid robot cause I forgot the password and there is a thing that tells you how to restart it. I do exactly what it says and it’s not connecting! It’s very frustrating and idk what’s going on. What a waste of $100. ### 1/5 — Bad *2020-08-18* I’m trying to connect my iPad which was working 3 years ago and the app isn’t connecting to the Mebo the battery is charged and I even tried factory reset but it doesn’t connect I tried every thing on the website and nothing works I want a refund ### 1/5 — U need to update NOW *2020-07-21, version 1.6* If u don’t update firmware it won’t work and I’m just going to write complaints until u do ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2020-07-16, version 1.6* When I first got this robot it worked fine but that was 2 years ago.

For me 😆 ### 5/5 — I'm annoyed *2017-12-25* Every time I open the app it closes five seconds after I enter the app not even being able to us MeBo so if this doesn't work that means I won't even be able to use him ever also that means this was a waste of money!! ;( ### 5/5 — AWSOME *2017-11-06* It takes a little while to get set up and you may get mad but it is an awsome app I’m so sorry mebo that I wrote a bad review before ### 5/5 — Mebo. It's all fun after the first setup *2017-08-07* It worth for 100$. It is a great device. Want more upgrades or features for it which will be fun. Pros 1. Lives up to its name. Fast and precision 2. Connection is spot on router mode. It has to connected to your wifi. No loosing connection 3. Have fun. Not as good as cosmos. But it is good and worth it. Cons. 1 initial set up is pain. I almost returned the item. 2. Need a tech savvy person for initial setup. Who knows about wifi connections and firmware upgrades Tips 1. Update firmware. Else it will be unusable or unstable 2. Router mode is the way to go. If you want broadcast mode then this is not for you 3. Use iPad so it's easy to control than with an iPhone. 4. If you can't find mebo in router mode. Restart mebo and wait till the camera lights are on. 15 seconds approx. ### 5/5 — It needs more updates *2017-01-08, version 1.5* When I was going to play on my mebo it didn't turn on and the camera always glitches this thing should fix that then use it at friends houses. ### 5/5 — It's good for a 1st generation *2016-12-25, version 1.5* You must have a good internet connection to your router. The controls work well. the camera could be clearer. I'm excited for new and better versions coming in the future ### 4/5 — It works (kinda) *2021-11-25, version 1.6* The app works well. It has a range on broadcast mode, so you can’t send it more than 15 feet away because it becomes unresponsive then. In router mode, its the same thing. You start to encounter some problems when more than 15 feet away (from your router), such as slow responsiveness, buggy camera quality, or just a white screen instead of seeing the camera. Also, what happened to the Android version of this app? I tried searching for it on the Google app store, Galaxy app store, and the Amazon app store, yet I couldn’t find it. I tried seeing online if there is any information on this, but there was nothing. I have a Galaxy S8 Active. I thought it was an unsupported phone model, so I went back to one of my older phones (Lg Aristo 3, which had the app before I factory reset it) yet I still couldn’t find it. ### 4/5 — Amazing *2017-09-15* I love it but it only works for two minutes but I think I can fix it ### 4/5 — I Have A Tip For You! READ ME *2017-06-28* I used to not be able to use this! It would work for 2 minutes and sometimes not even work at all!! Then, we went into the settings and switched it to router mode. (You do have to enter your wifi password I believe)We charged the battery up (which has a decent battery life BTW) and turned on Mebo. Instead of broadcast mode Mebo will say router mode. It does work very well now except the camera wasn't able to pick up very bright colors. I just think people need to read this so their Mebo can work too!! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
