Rover 2.0 Wireless Spy Tank for Android
The wifi setting shows that it's connected to Rover but when you open the app, it says that still needs wifi connection. Fix it please
Doesn't stay connected for long every time try to run the Rover a disconnect within 3 minutes of running the Rover
This app does its purpose and i think it has bad reveiws because people dont know how to use it.
You have to use the forget feature in order to connect to the rover which is kinda to much and in order for it to work it has to have full battery
Works just fine ! I don't think everyone knows how to use it!
Awesome but the Rover cost you a lot of
Nice to use
It's really fun
Awesome. I got this for my bday. It even works in snow
it is pretty good
Excellent app
This is the future
Good as enithing
Awesome
Pooop
Love it
A big thanks for the app update! Everything now appears, literally, to work on my Samsung Galaxy Note 8 tablet. So happy the live video feed is working after the update. Very happy with the purchase. The slider motion controls could be better, as it almost seems just no go or full speed, but otherwise a fun toy.
App does not work unless you first search for Wi-Fi and find rover and link up. Then open the app and ur GOOD TA GO!
Sluggish on android and does not work on newer devices. Brookstone hasn't bothered to update it In 1.5 year's.
Oooohhh shiiiiittt the controls . Its so hard to control it if you're not using motion control
This is easily one of the coolest things ever
Sometimes works and when it does its great. Controls the rover, takes images , responds to phone accelerometer controls and talks through the rover intercom. However, next time I run the App fails to connect even if I restart the phone or the Rover. Basically connectivity issues.
What happened to buying something and having it just work out of the box. The android app works at a frustrating level of reliability on my new Samsung Galaxy S Tab. The camera on the rover will not in any consistent manner move up or down. It works on an iPad, but that is not my device. Way to ruin Christmas for my son as it is frustrating when something just does not work! Uggh!
Needs customizable steering. Not everyone can use the G sensor and two fingers.
The problem with you guys I think that your electronics are too new and the rover just doesn't like it.
This app works great with my acer tablet and my HTC one max phone I'm not sure why everyone is have such an issue with it working with the tank. It works good, but don't get me wrong it pauses here and there but it still works good on both I'm very happy i bought this tank.
Doesnt play well with android 5.0+ onwards. Functions stop working randomly on S4 and G4 phones
Doesn't work. App crashes . Waste of money.i can't even review it becuase nothing works. I'll give it a better review once updates are initiated
Does not work on galaxy grand prime
You need to make to control easier and make the video not lag so much I recommend this because it's so annoying
Useless piece of hardware unable to control, and if it does it lags 2+ seconds....waste of money, app useless.
How do you get this to work¿?????
Love this app and device Rover. This is next level real machine.
It does not work at all on my S4 :) Bought it and cannot even use it. No support
The other olmost same think does not work
every time I try it says the wifi is not connected.
The app says its not connected to the WiFi and to check it when I check my WiFi is all 4 bars and it still says not connected! Plz fix this or tell me what I am doing wrong.
About the only thing this app is good for is the camera. The controls (slider and g-drive both) lag, don't respond at all, or randomly move forward propelling the rover into the nearest stationary object. Even from a distance of 2 feet away the controls simply don't work. The interface is clunky, too. How about an app that offers forward/back and left/right instead of this? It might make driving a little easier. Dissappointed and feeling very real buyers remorse.
Any way to stop crashing? Brand new app just bought Rover. Also anyway to secure a password on device.? No email or contact info. Many here complaining about crashing and that manufacturer is silent. Samsung Galaxy s3 Verizon. Note 4 soon. Hope I don't hafta return this. Will update better review if/after reply or answers. For now I'm concerned I just wasted $ but potential & hopefully wrong.

Connects to Rover. As soon as you try to move it disconnects. Tried on 5 different devices. Obviously broken now.
