### 2/5 — Why is an A9 for video required?

*2022-10-23, version 2.2*

The live video feature does not work well with an iPhone 5s. Given the size constraints of the Romo base this rules out a lot of possible compatible devices leaving maybe only a first Gen iPhone SE as a possible device. This is a pity given that other features work fine on the 5s.

### 5/5 — Alive again!

*2022-08-23*

Had my Romo in stasis for years now but this app allowed me to get him working again. Awesome fun for the kids.

### 5/5 — Netter und hilfreicher Service

*2021-09-30, version 2.2*

Es hat lange gedauert um Romo zu verbinden. Der Navideck Service gab mir denn Tipp ZeroTier One (VPN) herunterzuladen, da Romos iPod nur iOS 9 unterstützt. Danach hat die Romo Control App nach einrichten des VPNs einwandfrei funktioniert. Insgesamt ist die Steuerung sehr einfach, da es verschiedene Steuerungsmodule gibt, sodass man auswählen kann, welche Steuerung man am besten findet. Letztendlich ist aber der Preis für die App als in Ordnung zu betrachten, da die Firma Romotive, welche den Roboter erfunden und entwickelt hat insolvent gegangen ist und die Firma Navideck die Romo Apps übernommen hat. Also ohne Navideck gäbe es die App wahrscheinlich nicht mehr im App Store, weshalb der Preis gerechtfertigt ist.

### 5/5 — Just as advertised, but add to it!

*2019-01-03*

Does just what it’s supposed to do, but I’d like more features. Control additional Romo functions, allow you to put it into “explore” mode, maybe even do the programming from the iPad.  Actually that last would be great...having to crawl around on the floor and/or pick him up to work the app is a bit annoying.

### 2/5 — Vue à 90degré

*2018-11-25*

Robot sympa mais la vue caméra lorsque l’on contrôle le robot est tournée de 90degré et je ne vois aucun moyen de la tourner

**Developer response:** Hi, can you contact us so we can investigate the issue?

### 5/5 — Thank you thank you

*2018-09-29*

This works exactly the way it’s supposed to. 

For the controller I’m using an iPhone 6s Plus running iOS 11.4.1.

For the Romo itself I’m using and iPhone 4s with iOS 9.3.5. 

I am thrilled that someone picked up the torch and fixed the Romo app for newer versions of iOS. Massive thank you.
