Sphero Edu Customer Insights

1. Problem is nothing happens, it just takes me back to the select a robot to connect to screen... Read another comment from a user, who like me, purchased this when it first released... easy for Sphero to say you're no longer supporting a product, another person has purchased already.I'm increasing this to 4 stars because I'm still annoyed the app doesn't have all the controls for the bb-8 toy that the bb-8 app did but my little sister still loves chasing it around.

2. My child can't watch the learning videos on his devices unless I unlock full access to YouTube which is not great for young children.I have the same connectivity problems with my BB 8 robot (which I received as a gift only five years ago) that others have reported here.

3. I do not fault Sphereo for discontinuing the Star Wars line of robot toys, but I do fault them for subjecting the robot toys that people already own to forced obsolescence.Good. However of late I can't connect to the original ollie even on a full charge and while the charging cord is connected.

4. Don't go the Apple way.It's really good for my ollie blackside, and it works perfect! Thank you!Everything is great, but really wish there was a virtual simulation of the bot that represents what you code, if you dont have a bot on hand.I absolutely love this app, but there are things that you should add.

5. Either way I love seeing the smile on my little sisters face and would def consider looking into more products.I downloaded this to use with BB-8 that I bought when it came out.

6. Thanks!!!Connects then... does nothing... bought a BB-8 for my nephews as I understood this app connects to it.

7. Thirdly, please add offline projects, that can be enabled when charging and connected, and will continue to be enabled when the app is closed.

8. It would be great to have those links go to YouTube Kids or just your sphero website.

9. I have downloaded the app and it connects to my bluetooth, but it will not connect to the app.

10. The apparent lack of effort put into providing any sort of legacy support for the company's discontinued products in this app is disappointing.

11. The problem is that all of the learning video links go to YouTube.
