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

So disappointed to date with this device and app. Constantly has errors and "need to contact customer service" screen. I wipe, reinstall, and retrain voice and face recognition only to have it error again. The device originally could follow basic commands, was useful for setting reminders, patrolling the house, and sending messages to our kiddos. Now it is a sometimes mobile way to watch YouTube.

I love this thing. When it does have a glitch, all I do is reset Astro. My dogs are not thrilled with it but it doesn't matter to them. They do respond to it when I do live view looking for them. The monitoring is hit-and-miss. I don't have a full monitoring system yet, but with the Ring Pro it works well showing the video outside. Astro does almost everything Alexa does but has wheels. Can't wait for more updates.

App is mediocre in terms of functionality. Every time I use it I can think of ways it can improve. The biggest issue I have and I see that some others have mentioned is the inability to have two-way video chat. It looks like it's trying to start but then stops. Audio and microphone work fine. Video works as expected on iPad app so I can't blame the hardware. Permissions are set correctly so I'm at a loss why one of the best features of Astro isn't working as advertised on Android pixel 7 pro.
