It installs on iPhone 5 but only version 2.4 which is bugged and does not allow permission to take photos which then blocks progress. iPhone 5s seems better but the streaming of video via the remote control app is not working. Not sure what iPhone this app works with to be honest but I wouldn't have bought it if I knew it doesn't work with old iPhones. **Developer response:** You can install the app on an iPhone 4s through your Purchased Apps list. As of April 2023, Apple requires apps to be built with tools that no longer support 32-bit devices, such as the iPhone 5 or earlier. Unfortunately, we cannot provide further updates for these devices due to this limitation. However, you can always install the last compatible version. To do so, purchase the app on a modern iPhone, then on the 4s, open the App Store and go to Updates > Purchased > Not on This iPhone > [App Name], and tap the download icon. You’ll be prompted to download the last compatible version. The process is slightly easier on the iPhone 5 with iOS 10, as it allows you to download the app directly without accessing the Purchased Apps list. Devices like the iPhone 5s or newer continue to receive updates. For optimal video streaming, we recommend using a device with an A9 CPU or newer, as noted in the Romo Control app description. Please contact us through our contact form if you need further assistance. ### 5/5 — It's alive!! *2021-01-01* Romotiv went under less than a month after we originally got the Romo and it stopped working, but it showed so much promise that I never threw it away. I was going through boxes of old stuff, found it and decided to see if anyone had revived the program. Thrilled to find out someone did. Revived an iPhone 5s and it is working great. ### 5/5 — Hey devs *2020-08-13* Hi devs this is the same person that was having the problem with the missions, I could not find any vids, Reddit, or anything to help me solve how to complete the mission, again the one with the hiccups. Have you played it through to see if it was not fully developed or some code was missing? Just wondering because I would like to complete the robot fully. **Developer response:** Thank you for the kind words! We cannot provide a walkthrough through here but feel free to reach out to the Romo community on Reddit. I am sure you will get the help you need there ;) ### 5/5 — Finally Romo is back *2020-03-24* After the company closed I never thought I would see these robots work again then I stumbled upon the new Romo x app awhile back and purchase it then I hade trouble after the last romo update but it’s now fixed thank you for paying attention and bringing these robots back to life keep up the good work thank you whomever took there time to do this I almost gave up on these great little robots ### 4/5 — Looks like a lot of fun. *2020-03-21* This looks like it could be a lot of fun. I’ve played with the app a little bit but I could not get the base to detect that the phone was connected. It started to work at some point but failed. I originally rated this app low, but changed review after working with developer. I recommend this app as it gets 4 stars even though I can’t get my Romo to work correctly. ### 1/5 — Can’t get past Almost Ready screen *2020-01-26* I have the ROMO3B model that came out in 2013 and am trying to use it with as iPhone 4s. I can’t get past the Almost Ready screen. If it won’t work with this app, I just wasted $8.99. **Developer response:** Your model is definitely supported. Please reach us though https://navideck.com/contact in order to get technical support. ### 5/5 — Works great with iPhone 4S but not 4. *2018-12-04* This is a fun little app for a fun little toy! Just make sure to pair the right phone with the right base. Note: the iPhone 4 and iPod touch 4 aren't supported anymore (needs iOS 9). **Developer response:** iPhone 4 is supported now! Thank you for your support! ### 5/5 — Awesome! *2018-09-29* Works with my iPhone 4s!!! This app finally let me use my Romo again. The original company abandoned development of the Romo and iOS updates soon broke compatibility. Fortunately it seems like someone has picked up work on the platform. Huge thank you to whoever spent the time to get this working. ## Frequently asked questions about Romo ### What is Romo?
