About Ollie by Sphero

Ollie – The Future of App-Enabled Driving

In this electronic age, we are determined to prove that an electric motor can capture the thrill of speed.

We built Ollie for those who would rather lead than follow.

This machine tops out at 14 MPH – faster than you can run. Equip Ollie with grip tires for off-road traction or remove them to drift on smooth surfaces. Powered by Bluetooth Smart, this robot features a 30-meter range and over an hour of drive-time on a single charge. And this app gives you the power to control everything about Ollie – speed, acceleration, turn radius, and glowing LED colors.

What’s New:
Color: Make Ollie your own by customizing the glowing LED color – or pick a flashing LED color pattern.
Demo Mode: Ollie gives you a short demonstration of its abilities – stand back!
Drifting: Drift Mode has been rebuilt and refined to give you even more control when you’re out of control.
Idle Animations: After a period of inactivity, Ollie gets a mind of its own. You have been warned.
Darkside Mode: For use with Darkside Ollie (Black Version) – Darkside has a personality that won’t be tamed.

EASY TO USE, CHALLENGING TO MASTER
Launch the app, then touch your Bluetooth Smart enabled device to your Ollie. Follow the on-screen tutorials and learn the basics of how to aim and drive your Ollie. Driving like a pro takes a little patience, but so does anything else worth doing.

SUPER TOUGH ON THE OUTSIDE
Tackle the toughest terrain with total confidence. Ollie’s polycarbonate shell protects the electric motor, while the cutting-edge design repels water. This rough-and-tumble robot is built to take on anything that stands in the way.

WICKEDLY SMART ON THE INSIDE
Ollie is an electrically propelled computer with onboard intelligence that gives you real-time feedback on tricks. You can also program Ollie using the Sphero MacroLab app. If you leave this robot idle for too long, it may get a mind of its own.

GRAVITY-DEFYING TRICKS
Swipe, tap, or hold the gesture pad to make Ollie perform different tricks. With hundreds of trick combos to discover and master, you’ll constantly be challenged to push your skills.

DRIVE YOUR OWN WAY
You have the power to adjust Ollie's speed, handling and acceleration. With the option to use Drift Wheels or Grip Tires, you control your driving experience from start to finish.

MODES
Your app experience will change depending on whether you have Ollie (White) or Darkside Ollie (Black).

I just bought it yesterday today im trying to wake it up .. but nothing happens just ask to connect a cable and i dont 100 time and noth8ng happens ... need to solve that i want to play with my ollie

This is the worst device in our world today. I charge the ollie until it's full then open the app and put my phone to it and it does nothing. Then I "wake it up" but again it still does nothing. This is why this company is not a high competitor with name brands

by C####:

I started the tutorial again for my little brother then it wouldn't let me past the "now rotate your device" part please update. Had to uninstall/reinstall. I have the LG stylo 2 plus. You guys should add a option that lets ollie follow you

Will not connect to my device.. Stops half way.. Crap

K70%
by K####:

I love my Ollie. Once I start using it at my house my neighbor's kids ask me what it is and if they can use it. They usually just chase it around the place. I also got Ollie stuck in a puddle and so I thought he was still alive but his battery died instead. So I charged it and he was fine.

Doesn't connect to my OnePlus 3T. Connects to my old iPhone 4S fine. Gets stuck in the connection screen even with Bluetooth location and NFC on. The connection wheel goes round, gets stuck, then goes back to the beginning. Please fix

W70%
by W####:

It says "Wake up your Ollie" and by the animation, I'm supposed to think that I gotta charge it. But, when the green light turns on, Ollie didn't wake up. Impluging the charger from Ollie doesn't work either... Enabling location services won't help...

V70%
by V####:

I'm a bit confused about this location thingy. Do u think my Moto g3 will work with the Darkside ollie which I have ordered?

Z70%
by Z####:

Took me a while to figure out how to connect it. I had Bluetooth and Location on, but it still didn't connect. When I first launched the app, I remembered it said that it needs Location permission. I, then, went to the app in Application Manager and gave permission to Location and it connected flawless after that!

I like the ollie but there isn't many functions i would preferably like, if you could have other things other than swipe tricks, that would be cool. Im currently having one issue and that is the controls arn't locked, so when you face a different direction if i faced a 90 degree to the right, up will become left, right will become up...its confusing and can gett annoying.

Runs great. A toy for adults and children alike. Just be careful to bring it indoors during rain / snow, watch out for cars, and lastly refrain from scaring old people.

Ollie is awesome! Thanx for the assist. I use ollie with an andriod phone and it appears it wouldn't work because i didn't have both location and Bluetooth running. Once i did of cpurse ollie fired up and worked fine

Y70%

When i started it it said new firmware and then the loading screen apeared over that and it froze so i restarted it and the same thing happened. I had the app a while back and it worked fine but now it doesnt work

As soon as you turn the app on to Play mode, it says that I need to wake it up. The app that allows you to program it in BASIC will connect just fine, but not this one.

O70%

Horrible app, great toy. Great luck trying to connect to it. I force stopped the app and it still wouldn't connect. This app would get 0 stars if it could

It won't connect it will keep showing wake up ollie so I'm just but to throw the ollie in the trash I tried my IPad my mom's IPad my Parents phone and my sister phone it just makes me mad cause I can't play with it

L70%
by L####:

I've used this app for 2 years now and it's been flawless for me on both my Samsung Galaxy S5+ and S7 edge, although it runs better on my S5+. You need to make sure you unplug the charging cable from ollie first otherwise it won't connect, it's a safety measure so you don't accidentally drive off with the cable attached lol. Then you should be able to connect by placing your phone directly over ollie with your Bluetooth enabled. Hope this helps.

Keeps telling me to wake up Ollie, then... Charge, I think? But Ollie is fully charged, so what's going on? Location services and Bluetooth are on...

I think it's amazing! I don't have an Ollie but my brother let's me use his. I love doing tricks with Ollie! I use my own tablet so I named it Charmander! I made it blink red because chamanders a fire Pokémon. I just hope everyone enjoys playing with the Ollie app!

Needed firmware update, ollie kept crashing contacted Sphero support who have been unhelpful in resolving issue. Whenever I create a new ticket to get it fixed its closed by the service desk. Avoid at all cost!

C70%
by C####:

I think you guys (Sphero) should make more apps for the ollie. The Sphero ball has tons of other apps to use it with unlike ollie, and bb8. Ollie is fun and all but I wish I could use other apps with it like the Sphero ball.

The app is great overall but it needs a cam like the sphero does!

C70%

I have been and bought new tablet for my son to use Ollie with, running Android 6. Just tells me to charge the Ollie and will not connect. I have location and Bluetooth on

C70%

Tried to connect but it says firmware update and tells not to close app while updating but it won't go further than 12% and then goes back to 0 and stays there.

S70%
by S####:

On Android 6, the app only ever says to wake Ollie up by plugging in. I plug in Ollie and when the light goes green, unplug then hold phone in various places near Ollie but app only says to wake Ollie up. No problems at all on Android 5.1, works perfectly. Should really work with Marshmallow, though.
