Enjoy programming Sphero and Ollie!
It's been half a year since the last update. Please fix this issue.
Love the app but it crashes my phone on connect and if not on connect then randomly bricking my sphero stuck in whatever program it was running. Do not use till fixed. I will update my post and rating when its fixed
It immediately crashes as soon as it's run.
I had previously rated this app as many others and yet to no avail has there been a response from sphero to update. They recently updated SPRK app, but not this one. Please devote some time.
Recently purchased a Sphero SPRK Edition. Device will not connect through this APP. Then I saw that this app has not been updated in over a year. Please update this app to work with newer Sphero's as well as android devices and android versions. Using Nexus 6 on Android 6.0
There is no way to connect to the Sphero.
Does not work at all. Rip
What programming language is it and are there tutorials
Worked once then kept on crashing.
App crashes when trying to connect with Sphero 2.0
Crashes on start. Note 4.
Worked twice. Now crashes on connection with my Sphero 2 despite reload of app and reset of Sphero. At least I think Sphero is reset, I can't find help for my issue.
Then it would function exactly as expected.
Crashes when trying to connect to Sphero every time. Galaxy Note 4.
Would be much nicer with a Tasker plugin to allow Sphero to respond to events and voice commands.
Crashes on connection every time
The simple programming language is great
Orbotix, please keep loving Orbbasic. We need a tweakable editor that we can import/export to and from. We need to be able to rotate to landscape. We need an editor that allows us to download other .bas programs that others have shared. Being able to store small strings might make 'message in a bottle' or capture the flag type game scenarios possible.
Only thing better would be the ability to interface with Tasker app.
Needs ability to import from file, no way am I coding on a touchscreen with no landscape mode.
Dont know whats up with the haters
prefer to have landscape mode on their tablets and large phones. Also, two of the examples have errors.
