Response from developer

We’re sorry to hear you’re having trouble with the app. Please make sure that your device is compatible with the Spike App at LEGO.build/SpikeApp-Apple. 🔎 📲 Uninstalling and restarting your device before re-installing might do the trick. If that doesn't work, please head to LEGO.build/LETechSupport-Apple for support. 🙂🔧 - Elisa, LEGO® Customer Service

Awesome app, also I have some solutions for some issues

This app is really good. I use it for first lego league, the coding stuff is awesome!

If you can’t connect to your hub, you should try two things.
1. If the underside of the hub is hollow, you need to put in the rechargeable battery. The rechargeable battery is another yellow blocky thing in your kit, smaller than the Hub. Just slide the battery into the hollow part of the Hub, and it should work fine.
2. First, close the SPIKE window if it’s already open, Then, turn on your Hub by holding the round button. Connect to your hub in your Bluetooth section of your settings, and THEN open the SPIKE window.

If there aren’t any building instructions, you have to download a unit plan first. Just click “Unit Plans” or tap the “Units” section at the bottom and download one.

If you are coding something and the Hub icon at the top is orange/yellow and says the word “Connect”, your Hub is not connected. If it has a blue outline, then your Hub is connected.
