Ratings and reviews

I bought this from a second hand store without even knowing exactly what it was. $10 very well spent. The variety of fun this awesome ball packs is amazing. Different drive modes, all kinds of games to play through the app and endless amounts of play time. Battery life is better than expected with it being tiny. You can interchange the skins also. I love love love it.

Alright app. You don't get many options, I believe because it's an Apple device. It is difficult to get to work on your Samsung, as I have read. You have to allow everything. Which means that you may have to "hunt" down the permissions in your BT program as well as some others, even nearby share. Anyhow, works alright for the device, once it gets "acclimated". Cute. Almost worth the purchase. Very fun for a bit too.

It works fine on the LG app phone, but is horrible on my Samsung phone. I tried everything I could. I even contacted their customer service help. I can't get any of the other "drives" to work, just the basic one. It's fine, but I wonder what the rest do? Cats & dogs enjoy this, but ate often afraid of it. I wish this app worked on my Samsung sad face.
