Awful

To start with the volume is too low, can't hear a thing. And there are no settings, at all!

But mainly, after start it goes in training more, which is annoying and takes forever. The expectation was I can use software to command the robot. Instead it's the software tells me what to do!!!

App not working

The app volume level is very low and will not increase & the scan action will not recognized or connect to MAX.

The app shows promise but volume is inaudible

The app tutorial is audio based but the volume is so low, regardless of system volume, that we can’t hear what the app is saying. At all.

Doesn’t work

Doesn’t work with my phone with iOS 12

I am sorry to inform you, Meccano, but the problem others have talked about is not fixed.

My son, who has a XL 2.0, has told
me that 5 minutes upon Bluetooth connection with the MeccaNoid app, the battery dies and MeccaNoid tells us that battery is not sufficient. If this is a problem with the battery, it may be that the battery is too small to handle Bluetooth connections. Please fix, I recommend new battery as separately sold item, as a Bluetooth connections upgraded battery to handle the Bluetooth connections load. Thank you, and please fix this problem! It may not be the App, but the battery, which I think may be defective or some related problem. Thanks!
