Ratings and reviews

Latest app version is poor. Roomba refuses to connect for minutes, finally does, gets stuck in a corner, and then cancelling takes minutes more. Judging from other recent reviews, it's clear that Robot changed some important parts of their app or servers in the past release. I can't recommend this app or product unless they can consistently make it work.

I had mine bought specifically with animal hair in mind. It does ok at sweeping, it might as well be a door stop when it comes to carpet. I've tried anti-static spray, too. It seems to lose connection a lot, and I write this review after I told it to run, and it stopped mid-process, and didn't register that it made an attempt at all, so, much more difficult to find out the problem. For the price, and the hype of all the work it would save me, I don't have to sweep my hardfloors as much, I guess.

I'd say that the app is OK. Setup was a nightmare, it took many many attempts to connect my i1 to the WiFi. It just wouldn't connect to my network. In the end I took it to an isolated 2.4ghz WiFi network with the same SSID, set it up there and brought it back into the house. So probably can't put all the blame on the app, it's just the help was not helpful. After that no real issues. I can set the robot off, it does its job & lets me know when it's full, trapped or in need of a clean.
