App stops working, won't let me sign in to my account, says "Unexpected error 401" and have to uninstall app, lose all programs, reinstall app. Waste of effort. Sphero made aware 9 most ago, lots of back and forth emails, they have no interest in fixing

The fun went out of using the built in features of BB-8 in a week. Now with SPRK I get to build my own, which is great! If only they open up the communication from the phone to BB-8 for me to write a custom Android app!

This app is amazing but when you program it, its kinda of with the maze tape, even when you aim the blue light towards you

Can this be used for sphero 2.0?. And also I can't seem to find the Sphero App In Android
Q

by Q####:
I have to do a combination of turning my phone or Bluetooth off and on multiple times for the app to recognise the Sphero. When I finally do get it too connect, I'm afraid to close the app. I wanted something that was intuitive enough that my special needs baby brother could use, but so far this has been a miserable failure.

O.K. I'm starting to see a pattern here... How come none of these games work with both BB-8 and android tablets? Which is a pity because this program looks incredible

I enjoy it every second of it! I have a sphero ollie. It's so fun and I can't wait to show it to my friends! I also wanted to get a sphero 2.0 but it's kinda expensive. It's easy and I learned very fast!

Awsome, such a cool idea, you buy one of these robots, get the app, and can code then. Never thought this would really work LOL

In general, amazing and gimmick-free, but needs an update. First I'll start off with the brief few and negatives. I can't log into my Sphero Edu account. I keep getting an error message, and it doesn't even seem to connect to the internet at all. (Yes, other apps go on the internet no problem.) Also, they shouldn't have changed the name. "Lightning Lab" was a lot cooler than "Sphero Edu." That's it. Now on to the positives. (This will be very long, but I'm confident you'll find it helpful. If you're like me, you'll find that controlling Sphero on Edu is significantly better than using the dedicated apps for a number of reasons. (Note: Only tested so far on my SPRK+ and brother's BB-8) First off, this is one universal app that works with Sphero, Ollie, SPRK, and BB-8. It shows the robot's battery life, unlike the other apps. It is not gimmicky like the other apps are. The layout is simpler as opposed to the overly complicated layout of the Sphero app. It has no unnecessary games or automatic tricks. On the BB-8 app, collisions would trigger a reaction from BB-8 that makes move on its own for a second. It may seem funny/cute at first, but immediately becomes annoying. This stopped my brother's BB-8 from going over small steps that my SPRK+ can do with enough speed. Unfortunately, this gimmick cannot be disabled in the BB-8 app. Fortunately, this does not happen when using the Edu app, so he could hop the step after switching over. The color wheel is on the same page as the controller, allowing for easy color changing. The Edu controller has a vertical layout, making one-handed control much easier than the regular Sphero app. Also the programming features are pretty cool too. In conclusion, if you're like me and need only to simply control your Sphero device without gimmicks, Sphero Edu is the way to go. If you want them though, use the dedicated apps. My only problem is minor update-specific trouble, which doesn't hinder my primary use for the app anyway. Otherwise, it's perfect. In fact, I uninstalled the regular Sphero app and only use Sphero Edu, and I recommend you do it too.

Unreliable, I can barely connect to a sphero, often takes ages for the app simply to open and it pften connects to a random sphero when it works which is uncommon.

Ez valami elképesztő! Mindig is arra vágytam, hogy egy ilyen kis robottal tudjak programozni és tanulni sokat és hát eljött ez az idő!!! Nagyon örülök és támogatom a fejlesztőket!!!
