About this app

This app requires an Astro device.


Astro uses Intelligent Motion to navigate quickly and gracefully through your ever-changing space. Astro can follow you from room to room, and find you to deliver calls, reminders, alarms, and timers set with Alexa.


With the Astro app, you can see a live view of your space and check in on specific rooms, people or things. During setup, Astro learns a map of your space that you can view in the app at any time. Simply tap where you want Astro to go to start a live view, then raise or lower the periscope for a better look. You can even sound a siren remotely if you see something suspicious.

Ratings and reviews

Pretty good for a Day 1 edition. It's a bit laggy from the time you issue a command until it is acknowledged. One feature definitely missing: The ability to save map data. I mean I have many friends who would like to try my Astro in their home - but there's no way to save all the information Astro has already learned for my home. And I am not going to redo all that training again.

It's basically having an Alexa on wheels. I do have a few questions regarding the app. When you are away, besides seeing live video & chat, can you make Astro play music? I thought the voice button would allow you to communicate with Astro, but it doesn't. Also, Astro should be able to patrol your home without a Ring membership. When you don't have a membership and activate the away feature, it just stays docked in the charger. It should patrol & report noises or movements in the home anywhere.

Buggy. Always receive timeouts no new features in years. Update 3rd time doing a factory and never able to complete setup all anymore. Amazon can never be trusted in the robot game again. the hardware is garbage and the app is even worse. oh well I'll have fun dropping it from a 2 story building right into the dumpster
