### 1/5 — An absolute disgrace

*2021-10-08, version 1.2*

App does not work at all. Will not connect to the Microbit at all, completely useless. Don’t buy Tobbie 2!! My daughter is so disappointed. Can’t even download the 12 pre-made programs from the website. They will not transfer to the microbit. Whole robot is useless. Terrible service by this company! Fix your app! Fix your user experience! How can you disappoint kids like this? Disgraceful.

### 5/5 — Yes it will work if u do it right

*2023-05-05, version 1.2*

Tysm this is epic  I have been upset because when I got it I couldn’t control it but thanks to the comment sent on 12 feb it helped a lot

### 5/5 — It works if you do this

*2023-02-12, version 1.2*

You have to scan the google drive QR code at page 28 of the manual download app remote control, download micro:bit, flash app remote control go to the app and then it works

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2022-04-19, version 1.2*

You guys who can’t do it need to read it properly 

It’s awesome if you do correct

### 5/5 — It works if you do it right.

*2021-12-29, version 1.2*

People that say it doesn’t work are not downloading the file to control it. You need to follow the instructions completely and listen to it when it says to download the file off google drive.

### 5/5 — Doownload the stuff

*2020-10-05, version 1.01*

For all those people it didnt work for you need to download the files from a computer onto tobbie

### 5/5 — Finally able to control My Tobbie II

*2020-05-18, version 1.01*

Im so glad they were able to port this program to iOS. Im finally able to control this robot without having to use the MakeCode app . Thank you so much!!!

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2020-05-04*

So fun and cool(download) this is real

### 4/5 — Works fine once set up properly

*2023-07-01, version 1.2*

This app will pair with the micro:bit device and control the robot but it needs extra configuration. You have to install the app-remote-control program on the micro:bit (available as a download from the Tobbie II manufacturer) as well as this app on your iOS device. It’s not made very clear here - hence the rating - but is worth the trouble to figure out!

### 3/5 — my reason’s of why

*2025-12-22, version 1.2*

This app does not work with the tobbie 2 no matter how you set it up, if you really want to get it to work you have to use the android way since the ios app does not support the tobbie 2, thank you for reading

### 3/5 — Good app but...

*2021-08-07, version 1.2*

The app keeps crashing and it is so annoying but everything works fine though
