This app is simply awesome. I have been working with it at school getting live video feed via access points. However when I went to do my class presentation today, it came up with: application not licensed, please purchase! I had no internet on my phone, had to spend $5 to buy more and re download the app!!! Annoying as all hell. Happened heaps of times... please, please fix this!!! I'm using a Galaxy Nexus on Jelly Bean. EDIT: Developer sent me an email regarding the issue, he has now updated the app to run the offline license for 7 days :-) He also updated the PC software. Overall, this app is the best, it has achieved me many things. Thanks for the great app and the fix, David!

It's six thirty in the morning... Imagine you have been deprived of sleep... The best thing you can think of doing right now is strapping your phone to a Lego robot and bumping it into doors until your roommates wake up. Then... SNAP! You catch their surprised reaction on camera as they realize they were just woken up by a f***ing robot! Then you squeal, and the gig is up. ***warning!*** The possibility of your roommate stomping on your robot and going back to bed is very high! Avoid those in need of their beauty sleep, or it may be YOU who is left to write reviews for apps you have spontaneously purchased! ***

Combines all sorts of different technologies together seamlessly, and it works perfectly. well done. Would love to see a linux client and API in future. Looking forward to using this to get under the house to look for termites.

The idea is cool. The app is inexpensive. Setup/installation is simple. It is fun to play around with a bot car carrying a smartphone. What an amazing app!

I tried other teleoperation platforms (Kleekbots, Stream-O-Bot, Cellbots), but i like this one best. Easy to set up. And you can custumize both ends (PC and Android) with Javascript so you can fully adapt it to your own robot. My kids love it when they can drive the robot all around the house. Great video quality via wireless.

Love this app, went exploring in garden from upstairs! Video quality surprisingly good. Recommend using motor A to tilt camera up/dwn.

Fantastic app, better than any other NXT app. Fact that you communcatie with your phone by wifi, then the phone connects to the nxt by Bluetooth means you can get incredible range. The additon of the speech feature makes the app laugh out loud fun. Best app I've bought, great support too.
