Stupid company

Discontinues old bots and offers absolutely no assistance. The saving grace has nothing to do with them, but in the kindness of strangers willing to help others be able to use it.

So good! Will recommend!

I have the sphero mini and I use this app to connect and interact with the ball. You can use it for other products by SPHERO and it’s no hassle to set up and connect it took me almost 1 minute! Very fun and engaging I will recommend!😄🤩 Thanks to you sphero, I have found my passion for robotics!!
