I’ve followed all the instructions, but nothing. Reading the comments here and on many websites, it’s a common issue that has not been solved for many years. I feel scammed! ### 1/5 — “Too many problems” *2025-08-16, version 3.6* It breaks very easily, IVE had atleast 10 of these toys and they all have broke. Not to mention it breaks quickly, it disconnects after seconds of playing with it. Would not recommend. 😬😬😬 ### 1/5 — CCP spyware, download at your own risk *2024-12-15, version 3.6* App beams your info back to CCP headquarters. Do not download if you work for the US govt ### 4/5 — Fun Toy for the Puppy, So Far *2023-10-09, version 2.6* My pup interacts with the toy and we have fun driving it. Haven’t done a lot with it set to interactive (automatic). One goofy thing happening to me is that if the toy is connected, and I go out of range with the phone, I have to recharge it fully in order to connect. Not only that, but once it’s fully charged, it doesn’t let me connect. I have to immediately barge it again before I connect. That is, I Chevy it to where the LEDs are green, then pull the charger, immediately plug the charger back in, and the LED’s are yellow again. After a couple of minutes they go green again, and then I can connect. I learned this and just do it. Goofy. ### 5/5 — Good product *2023-03-16, version 2.5* My dog absolutely loves this toy, no trouble setting it up works great ### 2/5 — Settings invisible *2023-03-11, version 2.5* Cannot see anything under settings ### 5/5 — My dog is in love!!! *2022-10-27, version 2.4* my dog litterally wants to do everything with it at this point ### 2/5 — Review *2022-08-13, version 2.4* App doesn’t work consistently and I’m very disappointed!! If I could return it to get my money back I would ### 4/5 — On connecting *2021-11-30, version 2.4* Make sure you disconnect the usb cable before trying to connect with the app ## Frequently asked questions about Wickedbone ### What does the Wickedbone app do?
