The app uses the feedback from the models’ ultrasonic sensor together with programmed commands to control the models.
App Features
• Connect to your models via Bluetooth connection.
• Remote-control mode lets you directly control the models’ two motors forward and backward.
• Remote-control mode gives you a visual display of the object distance readings from the ultrasound sensor.
• Programming mode lets you script and save programs.
• Seven programs (Programs 1-7) are preloaded to work specifically with seven of the robot models in the “Robotics: Smart Machines” kit. Eight programs (Programs 9-16) are preloaded to work specifically with eight of the robot models in the “Robotics: Smart Machines - Rovers & Vehicles Edition” kit. Eight programs (Programs 17-24) are preloaded to work specifically with eight of the robot models in the “Robotics: Smart Machines - Tracks & Treads Edition” kit.
• A simple, visual programming language lets you program motors, sounds, and pauses.
• Different program segments can be set to run upon first run and then when the ultrasound sensor detects objects at different distances from the model.
• Use the 60-page or 64-page, step-by-step illustrated manual included in either kit to learn how to use all of the programming features.

App is buggy on the phone. Bluetooth connects in remote control mode. I can switch to programs and it works. Switching back to remote control (which happens accidentally easily on the phone) Bluetooth is then broken until an app restart. Works neither on remote control nor programming mode. Reproducible 100% of the time. On the tablet it works fine though.

Very difficult to use. Works on 1/3 Android devices I tried using it on. Had to follow a set sequence to get it to work: Enable blue tooth and app location permission. Shake robot to turn it on. Then start the app. Wait til a yellow circle appears around blue tooth symbol, then click it. There is no reason the app needs location for it to function, and not allowing a normal blue tooth connection locks you into needing their app (spying?). The actual set is ok, but cuts corners (wheels).

I got it to work! Don't despair. I followed the manufacturer instructions on the website to change my location settings for the app. Then had to exit out of the app, go back in, make sure my Bluetooth was on, make sure the blue light on the robot was on by jiggling it, and tap the yellow bluetooth icon again. Ta daa!

First the app didn't let the robot move that much, and now it won't even connect to my wifi, honestly you should have made sure the app worked before letting this toy/robot be bought, I'd suggest you fix this issue as soon as possible, this is just simply ridiculous and honestly just wasting my time, i do so hope you understand I'm not hating on this, I'm simply suggesting what all the others have.

Even after much trouble shooting, we were completely unable to connect the app with the robot except for about 5 seconds. We tried different Android phones and an apple product. You can tell that the app creators unfortunately don't appear to care very much either because the bad reviews don't have any responses with help or advice. Very disappointed. My kids were so excited to see it work after we spent all that time building it together. All for nothing.

First my robot worked beautifuly. Then, the plastic cracked twice. Then, it wouldn't connect to Bluetooth. Then, when it started working again, the motors would not work, and the app froze. I don't know what to say anymore.

The UI is unresponsive, the coding blocks can not be deleted unless the whole program is deleted. The sensor reads the distance but does not function when in program, which by the way is difficult to understand. All on all, a re-write would be the best bet with this app.

I cant do anything. First i went into the app, it was fine... But then everything stoped working, I tryed to click bluetooth but nothing happened. Then i clicked settings... NOTHING HAPPENED and then i tryed again, everything was fine,but then,the game broke i couldnt use anything in the settings and i was stuck there. Please get this fixed or everyone with android will get mad, so please just do it. Im uninstalling it untill you get this fixed.
