Still will not work

App will not open still on IPhone 14 Pro Max running iOS 26. Crashing start, was hoping update would fix this.

App needs updated

The app hasn’t been updated so the local connect mode will not work. Only direct mode works some times. Since apple will automatically disconnect from any WiFi that is not connected to the internet. Very disappointing after a long difficult build to not be able to use it. Because of a poorly designed app.

R2 D2

Had the bought as a gift but can’t get it to connect to phone

DOESN’T WORK

This application is still supposed to operate sphero droids ie R2D2. It refuses to connect & have no idea why.

Update the app and upgrade to the new version of iOS 26

They should update this app for IOS 26 apple devices and upgrade it to iOS 26 and update the appreciate it feature and there should be a feature on there too check for problems on the R2-D2 diagnostic feature and you should have a thing on there on the app so found out the problem on there put your company does read this stuff

Does not connect with Droid Inventor Kit

This is the company that now one the Little Bits line and it does not support the Little Bits Droid Inventor Kit. So our son has a droid kit that is now useless as the company removed the app for the kit and provided no replacement (which could easily have been integrated into this app).

Excited

Hands down the best replica model. Endless features!

POS

Don’t waste your money or time. Product does not work.

No good

Doesn’t work and wasn’t able to connect to WIFi

App needs updated

The app hasn’t been updated so the local connect mode will not work. Only direct mode works some times. Since apple will automatically disconnect from any WiFi that is not connected to the internet. Bevy disappointing after a long difficult build to not baa able to use it very well.

Update wäre Zeitgemäß

Leider wird die App nicht upgedatet und somit kann man nur einen Teil des R2D2 verwenden. Schade…

Impossible to connect

Just walks you in circles and can never connect. 0 starts actually.

iOS 26

My app no longer functions crashes immediately upon clicking disappointed

NEEDS UPDATE

the app is not more opening in the new IOS 26….!!!! 😡

jope

jope no va 😢

Sigue sin funcionar

Hace más de 1 año que la aplicación dejó de funcionar y siguen sin arreglarlo. Una pasta gastada para tener un pisapapeles 🤷
A ver si ahora, que estáis volviendo a sacar la colección, arregláis la aplicación porque si no es un timo enorme.

O App não esta abrindo depois dessa atualização

O app não abre mais temos um robô inútil sem o aplicativo que não abre mais
