Sphero Play Customer Insights

1. The only problem is that my brother has a Sphero Ollie, and since the official app became unavailable, he hasn't been able to do any of the original stunts with it, so it'd be useful to have Ollie connectivity + stunt mode on Sphero Play.Unable to connect my sphero mini.

2. The joystick begins to move around your phone and when you try to change the driving mode it glitches where it doesn't show you anything and you can't exist the drive mode without exiting the app.I bought this from a second hand store without even knowing exactly what it was.

3. There's so many ways to move it, and it's really cool.Recently bought a sphere mini (golf ball) which I control use the tilt joystick.

4. What a pile of junk, obviously being returned.It works fine on the LG app phone, but is horrible on my Samsung phone.

5. I have now discovered, after reinstalling, nothing is opening (golf, tilt etc) only the physical joypad, until all data is cleared within the apps options.

6. Different drive modes, all kinds of games to play through the app and endless amounts of play time.

7. Once you have it running whichever drive mode you have it on will remain locked on that drive mode.

8. I wish this app worked on my Samsung sad face.I have been using this app for a while, and it is very easy-to-use and rather fun.

9. It's fine, but I wonder what the rest do? Cats & dogs enjoy this, but ate often afraid of it.

10. It has a cool feature that automatically calibrated the sphere depending on your rotation relative to it.

11. However, every few uses the option crashes the app resulting in the need to uninstall and re-install! Not at all acceptable.
