User reviews

iRobot

It was super fun when I got it but after a little bit the app would not work when I opened it it would stay frozen on the front page so I can’t use it any more but the robot will turn on and off.

App wont load need to reinstall

App is not loading and is stuck at home screen of irobot. Need to reinstall, happened 2nd time in a week

Good but no

App works when I delete/reinstall, but once I close it, it never opens and stuck on “iRobot” screen

Great app! Surprisingly no bugs yet.

I programmed 76 programs now! Ive been programming for 4 years and I love level 2 coding and its super easy to program! I haven’t found any bugs yet so they are great at finding and fixing bugs. Many other people say they have to re-install the app to open it again. Thats not true I can always open the app without
re-installing the app. Thanks for reading I hope you get the app!
