Ratings and reviews

App is unusable since all it does is crash every time it tries to start updating the firmware on the Havoc rifle. It's quite sad since this is one of the better made gel bead shooting toys as it has the magazine on the bottom (that at least so far, actually works, and doesn't easily fall out of the gun like at least one of the other brands that I tried) The magazine location allows you to actually use the sights instead of having a giant hopper obstructing your view. Please fix the app!

I've never been so disappointed in an app. Bought everything... blasters (plus spares for friends), masks, gellets, targets. Wasted 3 hours on Christmas Day with an awful app that force closes every time you try to connect. My wife's phone finally got 1 of the 4 devices to pair, plus the beacon, but NONE of the game modes advertised on the box are supported yet! Can't play defuse the bomb, capture the flag, king of the hill. NOTHING. False advertisement and a bummer for my kids who got garbage.

Like all the other reviews, the app does not work. In order to use any of the products they apparently have a firmware upgrade. Fine shouldn't be a big deal. Except when it tries to update it immediately crashes. I only bought the drone and I'm glad I did, as half the draw of this brand is it's app connectivity. Seeing how bad the app is makes me glad I didn't buy any of the blasters and just went with the new nerf gel blasters instead. Luckily the drone still kind of works without the app.
