Die Idee mit der Tonsteuerung ist witzig. Kind im Grundschulalter hat viel Spaß damit. ### 4/5 — Dauert *2024-12-28* Dauert so 2min bis er reagiert sonst total Einband frei ### 3/5 — Funktioniert nicht *2024-12-27* Bei uns funktioniert das Micro nicht weshalb der Roboter Weder den Clap Modus noch über die App zu steuern ist allerdings ist die App gut gemacht gerade für Kinder ### 3/5 — Nur 5 Slots zur Programmierung *2024-12-26* Mein begabter Sohn 5 Jahre kommt mit der App super zurecht. Schade ist nur, dass 5 Slots in der Befehlskette „programmierbar“ sind. Bitte eine Update mit mehr Slots entwerfen. ### 2/5 — Non fa niente *2024-12-25* L’ho ricevuto come regalo di Natale……non vedevo l’ora di usarlo…me l’ha regalato mia sorella…uso il comando aavanti non fa nulla ora sono molto triste almeno cammina però da solo😭😭😭 ### 1/5 — Ne vaut pas le prix *2024-12-25, version 1.1* L’application ne fonctionne pas. De savoir que l’application pourrait fonctionner déçoit plus les enfants qu’autre chose. ### 1/5 — A déconseillé *2024-12-25, version 1.1* L’application ne marche pas et communique pas avec le robots ### 4/5 — Overall review *2024-12-01, version 1.1* The app doesn’t function as I’d hoped, I hope they could possibly do an update soon as it isn’t the most functional app. Although the app doesn’t work great Mio 🤖 was fun to build! it was pretty fun but there was a few errors . :( ### 1/5 — App doesn’t work at all *2024-11-22, version 1.1* Very disappointing that after building it the app doesn’t work at all. In general the whole thing hardly works. ### 1/5 — Quelle arnaque !!! *2024-08-20, version 1.1* Pièces en plastique et composantes plutôt fragiles. Instructions d’assemblage pas trop claires. Je ne vois pas comment un enfant de 8 ans pourrait assembler ce robot par lui-même. Parfois, il fait assez forcer pour ajuster les pièces, au risque de casser quelque chose. L’option « programmation », raison principale de mon achat, est complètement ridicule. On explique que ça fonctionne aux ultrasons, mais rien ne se passe. Ça ne fonctionne tout simplement pas !! Je l’ai pourtant essayé sur des plateformes et avec des appareils différents et très récents (iPad, iPhone,…). Sérieusement, c’est dégoûtant de se faire arnaquer comme ça par une compagnie qui met en vente ses jouets dysfonctionnels ! Tout le blabla technique pourtant invitant sur la boîte et dans le livret ne sont que poudre aux yeux. L’aspect « programmation » ne fonctionne tout simplement pas ! Évites déception et perte d’argent ! N’ACHETEZ PAS CE JOUET !! ### 1/5 — ES UNA ESTAFA TOTAL! *2024-07-30* Mi hijo cumplio 10 años este 27 de julio y de regalo de cumpleaños le regale este robot en el Drim por 24,99. 🚨ADVERTENCIA🚨 este robot tiene altas probabilidades de no cumplir con lo que pone la caja del mismo, probamos todo tipo de cosas pero no obedecia a las señales, y ademas en el envoltorio tenia uno de los cables ROTOS, una estafa total PARA: Clementori S. p.A. ### 1/5 — not work *2024-07-13, version 1.1* no work pleas fix ### 3/5 — Meh *2024-07-06, version 1.1* I mean the robot works but the app is useless. Mio is adorable but I suggest you do something to troubleshoot this. ### 3/5 — Basic but works *2024-03-16, version 1.1* Glad I read all the reviews prior to trying this out, even then it took me an age to work out you need to hold the direction button to get the robot to move. Not being able to more precisely control the steering is frustrating as well. Camera mode doesn’t seem to do anything. Overall, ok. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work at all *2024-03-09, version 1.1* Doesn’t work at all in real time or coding modes. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2024-03-09, version 1.1* Don’t get this game it doesn’t work but at least making the robot is fun ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2026-04-10, version 1.1* It doesn’t work! Waste of time ### 1/5 — Disappointed *2026-02-27, version 1.1* Terrible didn’t work at all ### 1/5 — Nul *2025-11-23, version 1.1* Ne marche pas Inutile ### 1/5 — Uhhghhh😩 *2025-06-23, version 1.1* Very dissiponting ### 1/5 — No va *2025-02-12* No va ### 1/5 — Mala, mala *2025-02-02* Ni siquiera se abre ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2025-01-02* The app isn’t working!!! Why?????? ### 1/5 — Could not get the app to work *2024-12-30, version 1.1* We tried some tips and tricks in other reviews but the app remains totally nonfunctional for us. ### 1/5 — App don’t work *2024-12-26, version 1.1* No able to make the robot work with the app . Sometimes he does the sounds I send from app and the led mode but it does not move at all , useless app disappointed child ### 1/5 — Ridicola! *2024-12-25* Il robot è carino, l’app è ridicola! Non funziona, non essendoci istruzioni su come far dialogare l’app con il gioco rimane sempre il dubbio di essersi dimenticati qualcosa, dopo 5/6 tentativi la disinstalli…. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — I love it! *2024-10-22, version 1.1* I found out how it works so that’s why I can’t stop playing it YAAAAAY!!!!!!! ### 5/5 — Sehr gut aber... *2024-03-31* Diese App funktioniert nur wenn man einen Roboter hat ### 5/5 — Yoda Reagiert *2024-01-16* Es gibt Sounds und Yoda (Name meines Roboters) kann viel leichter laufen ### 5/5 — Mio *2023-10-03, version 1.1* I didn’t rate the app five stars but the robot was very fun to build and program but the app takes ages to transfer the data. ### 5/5 — OUI CA MARCHE : *2023-08-12* Mettre le robot sur APP 1. Mode programmation : le robot emet un petit bip au debut. la communication fonctionne. Reste plus qu a programmer. 2. Mode manuel : il marche… il suffit de laisser le doigt appuyé sur la direction choisi (ce n est pas un pulse, cqfd 😁) A tout les papas et les enfants, amusez vous bien ✌️ ### 5/5 — About the app and robot *2023-07-08, version 1.1* I didn’t rate five star to about the app but about the robot, but it wouldn’t move when I click a direction, or a sound ### 5/5 — Bueno beeeello *2022-12-27* Carina l’app anche il robot che l’ho chiamato roboti ### 5/5 — This is why you should download if you have a robot *2022-12-20, version 1.1* So without this app the robot would be rubbish.But this app can control it and communicate with it.It deserves 5stars ### 5/5 — Doesn’t seem to work, but I’m still contented with it 😊 🤖 *2021-11-28, version 1.1* This app doesn’t really make the robot move or anything, but I’m still happy with it! Can u reply to this review and help me out here though? Every few seconds the robot makes a cute sound and moves, but it doesn’t move forward or backwards. Building/assembling the robot was fun, I bumped into a few situations but I managed to assemble the robot with ease. Please tell me how do you properly PLAY with the robot? I can’t get it to move. Great app by the way, I’m just a tiny bit disappointed with the controlling. I am using Apple IPad, just to let you know. ### 5/5 — Fonctionne bien *2021-07-19* Pour faire fonctionner l’application de control et synchroniser votre robot, nous avons un petit REX: 1. Mettre robot en mode App sur son tableau de bord. 2. Sur application, chosir mode programme. Puis lancer un trajet quelconque. 3. Revenir au mode control réel. Le robot est connecté avec votre téléphone. Nous nous sommes bien amusés avec mon enfant. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
