Amazing but could use some more stuff

I love this app for my sphero mini. It’s super fun and is super awesome for kids of any ages. I think you should make a new robot but make it not too expensive though because we love your robots, but sometimes they can get a bit pricey.
Love this app five stars
Oh yeah, this is a cool appOh yeah, this is a cool app

Crazy game

I’ve been playing for only a few hours and it already so fun discovered lots of features and the funniest one I think are the games. Can you just tell me who invented this game because I really want to give all my money to him. It’s just so fun this game.
