## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Does it connect to iRobot create 3

*2026-04-08, version 3.1.1*

I don’t I am so sad

### 1/5 — App is buggy

*2022-09-22, version 2.1.7*

The app won’t save programs and then will freeze requiring a reinstall which looses all progress.

### 2/5 — iRobot

*2025-03-06, version 2.1.7*

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.

### 2/5 — App wont load need to reinstall

*2025-02-16, version 2.1.7*

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

### 2/5 — App sometimes won’t open

*2022-07-11, version 2.1.7*

Sometimes the app won’t open and I’m forced to reinstall it. Great robot and concept, but please fix your app.  Also, why can’t I save my projects?  People spend a lot of time coding and should be able to save projects to iCloud Drive or other cloud service. That’s a pretty basic requirement of any coding app. There is some type of strange sharing available, but you need a special code to retrieve. It is very strange the way this was implemented.

### 2/5 — Crashes the app and loses progress (iPad pro)

*2022-01-21, version 2.1.7*

Was excited to try the new app and I think I can see the value of the new approach, but it’s hard to keep a kid engaged when the app crashes and progress made is lost). Not even saving a project saves progress in a multi-step task. 

Needs improvement.

### 3/5 — App has bug

*2023-10-14, version 2.1.7*

Need to reinstall App in order to open again. Otherwise App is always stuck in first green iRobot loading screen.

### 4/5 — Good but no

*2024-09-25, version 2.1.7*

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

### 4/5 — Web browser version?

*2024-02-19, version 2.1.7*

Is there a web browser version?

### 4/5 — App is not Great

*2023-01-23, version 2.1.7*

I have to all the time I have to like I gotta download it on a separate device and then re-install the app stressed and you lose all your progress if you don’t have like a device that you can also have and yeah so I don’t know I have an I robotCoding robot and I really want it to work so I figured out I can do this but I don’t like this so I don’t recommend it if you have separate device so if you don’t have a separate device I don’t recommend it at all so I don’t know what’s wrong but what is anyway

### 5/5 — Great app! Surprisingly no bugs yet.

*2024-03-11, version 2.1.7*

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!

### 5/5 — Pretty fun coding experience

*2022-05-30*

Actually it’s pretty fun coding experience, especially if you are already a software developer and want to teach kids) For huge programs there’s also a version for PC, that runs on Chrome via JS BLE Api, it’s pretty awesome too, when web-page can communicate via Bluetooth.

### 5/5 — Cross generational coding tool!

*2020-09-23, version 2.0.0*

What a well thought out and designed app - works for the whole household, enabling anyone to code a fun project no matter their previous experience. It’s nice to have this iOS option along with the browser based app! Thanks for making such an accessible app :)
