I tried to do it multiple times, but It will not work! Please fix this bug! ### 2/5 — App won’t load *2020-04-26, version 3.2.25* At the initial loading page the app crashes. Multiple attempts to uninstall and reinstall have failed. Any patches? ### 2/5 — Great concept but terrible interface... *2019-01-05, version 3.0USA* My son got a M.A.X. for Christmas and we have been trying to program it. The app has a lot of flaws and doesn’t seem to interface right with the robot. The remote mode works although limited. You cannot change the speed that MAX travels. Also when you record a manual path you cannot name and save it. When you click in the white box the keyboard does not appear. The programming tool is awful! After identifying the servos the claw will open (using rotate command) but it will not close. The same goes for the neck servo. I can get the neck to tilt to one side but it will not tilt back in the other direction. The roll duel motor command had to be set with one forward and one backward to get the robot to go forward or reverse. Not very logical. When I link different commands they do not seem to all operate. I will be contacting Meccano directly to see if they can offer any direct support but buyer beware! Unfortunately if you are reading this you probably already have purchased a MAX and are downloading this app to use it. I will update this review if Meccano is able to solve these issues for me. ### 1/5 — The app won’t open *2018-12-30, version 3.0USA* When ever I open the MeccanoApp it won’t go to the place where you connect the Meccaspider ### 1/5 — App won’t load *2018-12-27, version 3.0USA* This app doesn’t work. It won’t load. Gets to about 40% then pops up rate this app. Will continue to give it 1 star. ### 1/5 — Instructions *2018-12-26, version 3.0USA* Is there instructions??? ### 1/5 — Waste *2018-11-02, version 3.0* This app is a complete waste nothing works takes forever to load my meccaspider controls are not on the screen my WiFi is fine same with my meccaspider I HATE THIS APP IT IS A COMPLETE WASTE ### 1/5 — Don’t bother even trying. *2018-09-30, version 3.0* This app only displays a white screen on the iPad. Does absolutely nothing. ### 1/5 — This is the worst app ever!! *2018-09-30, version 3.0* I bought Max for my son for Christmas. He was so excited! Downloaded the app. Built Max... Been trying for 10 months to get the app to work. Such a waste of money. We only bought Max because he could use his phone to interact with him. Not sure I will ever spend money on another SpinMaster product. ### 1/5 — Come on 😠😠 *2018-09-28, version 3.0* It won’t work it stops loading at 40%😠 ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2018-08-17, version 3.0* IOS APP doesn’t work. And doesn’t load completely ### 1/5 — Download Issues *2018-06-05, version 3.0* Have gotten on numerous WiFi networks still can’t download the app. ### 1/5 — Loading issues *2018-04-12, version 3.0* This app will not work and gets stuck all the time. It will not keep going. ### 1/5 — does not work with iphone 8 *2018-04-02, version 3.0* does not work with iphone 8 ### 1/5 — Download issues *2018-03-22, version 3.0* Downloads within the app that are required to interact with my son's MAX will not load. They get stuck and will not resume. Deleting the app and reinstalling did not help. From looking at other recent comments, it does not appear that Meccano/Spin Master are in any hurry to help their customers or fix these issues. Cool toy and fun to build with my son, but a lousy app limits its capabilities. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — MAX *2022-02-04, version 3.2.26* Does it works with Meccano MAX? Looks like app interface doesn’t adopted to newer iOS versions ### 1/5 — None of the actions work *2022-01-08, version 3.2.26* I can download the app, but it doesn’t recognize the four inputs to the mini brain, and none of the actions are active. Did everyone else give upon this app a year ago? ### 1/5 — Not working. Need it fixed ASAP *2020-05-21, version 3.2.25* The app used to work. It then stopped working since last update. Just like every other user reported. It crashes when loading at 10%. It’s been months and still no fix. Same problem on both iPhone and iPad with latest IOS. Now I can’t program my MAX.
