You have to have the volume on full and hold you phone like you normally would. Press one of the buttons and it makes a sound that the robot hears and then performs the action. It works better if you hold your phone normally as the sound bounces off your body and the robot picks it up better. It’s very basic just move and dance. I was thinking you connect to the robot but it doesn’t it’s just the sounds the app makes. ### 1/5 — Waste of time *2020-09-19, version 1.2* Just doesn’t work . ### 3/5 — It does work *2020-08-29, version 1.2* The app works for me. I thought it didn’t at first but then I did as it instructed and turned my phones sound on. It is a little delayed to respond to commands but for us this is ok for the price. Great little toy ### 2/5 — Shay Sharon *2020-08-15, version 1.2* ------ Finally got it working in a consistent manner ------ First of all, it uses sound frequency to control the robot, not bluetooth, so turn up your speaker and make sure you're not in a noisy environment. Second of all, the robot is constantly alternating between 3 states: Random actions (moving and making sounds), waiting to repeat your words (may vary with your toy) and waiting for the app (the eyes are not blinking, no sounds). THE APP WILL WORK ONLY DURING THIS STATE! Have fun! ### 3/5 — The app *2020-07-14, version 1.2* So I’ve found a way to get the robot to move so the app isn’t useless. The way you do it is that you have to put your devise right next to the robot and it should move/dance. It worked for me and my cousin so it should work for everyone els ### 1/5 — App not working *2020-07-02, version 1.2* My son bought the Pokibot specifically for the app functionality. It does not connect to Bluetooth and hence can not work. Silver lot is conning people by saying there is app functionality. Do not buy this product ### 2/5 — Kind of good *2020-06-09, version 1.2* The app is useless but for me it actually works with my two robots everyone is saying it’s not working but sometimes it works with my robots and if you can’t be bothered don’t buy it it’s a waste of your time ### 1/5 — Dave *2020-05-05, version 1.2* This app is useless. Won’t connect to bot at all. No support from app or online. Garbage ### 1/5 — No instructions *2020-03-29, version 1.2* How to connect app to Maze breaker? Couldn’t find any instructions! Seems the app doesn’t connect to the robot at all. I tried on several devices but no luck! ### 1/5 — Literally useless *2020-03-13, version 1.2* No way of connecting to bot. Buttons just all make the same sound and don’t do anything to the bot. ### 2/5 — Can’t control The robot *2020-01-24, version 1.2* You you can control the robot no matter what I tried lots of times but I can’t. Please try to fix it. ### 1/5 — Totally useless *2020-01-02, version 1.2* The app does nothing at all. It was supposed to make the toy move but it does not work. ### 1/5 — Don’t bother *2019-12-26, version 1.2* Doesn’t work! ### 1/5 — Pokibot *2019-12-25, version 1.2* Yes I agree, the robot is ok, but the app is rubbish, ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Tried so many times *2025-05-07, version 1.3* Tried so many times to get the app to connect to my pokibot robot. Watched videos, looked for instructions, and it’s still didn’t work. One star. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2023-11-03, version 1.3* My pokibot doesn’t even seem connected, and it doesn’t do the things it claimed to do like spin, dance ect. The only way it reacts to flapping is repeating, and yes I have tried clapping three times (dance) and twice (spin) and all it does is repeat my voice. I regret buying it. ### 1/5 — Cr@app *2023-05-11, version 1.2* As others have said… this app doesn’t do anything at all… it’s almost as if the app has been designed to simply steal all your personal data to store in a massive warehouse in China 👎🏻 ### 1/5 — Boring sooooo boring *2023-02-16, version 1.2* The game is borrrrring no fun👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎 ### 1/5 — App is useless *2022-03-31, version 1.2* You supposed to have BLE scan and connect/disconnect buttons, otherwise it’s not even clear about Bluetooth Low Energy connection… As a pro BLE developer I will give you an advice: 1. Scan BLE advertisement for devs 2. Filter devs by name 3. Do BLE connect 4. Read data and maintain synchronization 5. Do event based communication Imagine, if I have 3 robots and 3 phones in the same room, impossible to use by your design! ### 1/5 — Terrible *2021-12-02, version 1.2* No instructions, no way to sync to the robot. ### 1/5 — Wow, this is bad *2021-11-01, version 1.2* How can people halfass something like that!? ### 1/5 — App doesn’t work. *2021-10-21, version 1.2* Disappointing app. No connection. No instructions for how to connect. Stick w the remote and don’t bother with the app…it’s probably just a tracking/phishing attempt on your device. ### 1/5 — These stupid Chinese idiots have conned you *2021-04-14, version 1.2* The idiots have conned you to buy there products and give them milllnw upon millions of cash if your reading this it’s ether : there abut to con you to or you have already been That is all I got to say don’t fall fro this crap okay?!😡😡😡😡👿👿👿👿👿👿😱😱😱😱😓😓😓😓😓😤😤😭😭😭😭 ### 1/5 — Useless *2021-02-14, version 1.2* No way of connecting to bot. No instructions. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Love it! *2024-08-29, version 1.3* I use it to control my robots ### 5/5 — The robot and the app *2021-02-21, version 1.2* I tried using the app for my sister’s robot maze breaker, and it’s fantastic! I have seen some bad reviews but I don’t really believe it’s that bad, the only thing is that you need to have your speaker really lout so it can hear it. Sometimes it’s mishearing the command, and instead moving forward it dances, but that’s alright! I like that it can make my sister smile with its silly moves and sounds. 😊 ### 5/5 — Amazing !!! *2019-10-26, version 1.1* Loved the app ### 5/5 — Good robot! *2019-09-05, version 1.1* It works,we bought it in Japan sooooo cute we named it Ao-San cuz it’s blue ### 5/5 — Stelléride *2019-08-18, version 1.1* This is good!!! With the remote.This app isn’t really good it only Directed the controls and only the dances and this app could really use some better controls like the robots singing,talking,moving hands and robots that do stuff satisfying 🤬🤬🤬🤬😰🥺This is really sad,I was really expecting something better. ### 5/5 — Cool cam *2019-07-17, version 1.1* Hi I love the game it is awesome game and I love it because you can Control your pokibot ### 5/5 — Best app ever (other than x-plane 10) *2018-11-16, version 1.1* I think this app is really good because you can control the robots like the pokibot there is a few not responding glitches can you tell me WHY THE ALL MAKE THE SAME SOUND PLEASE ### 5/5 — aMazing *2017-12-27, version 1.1* Great app ### 4/5 — Add a few more robots *2023-12-08, version 1.3* The reason is I have a ycoo neo program robot x please try to add this is a new one but good instructions blah blah blah 4 stars ### 4/5 — Pretty good *2021-08-10, version 1.2* Sometimes the robot is not responsive and sometimes the app activated other robots nearby but other then that a good app and robot overall! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
