Ratings and reviews

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.

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.

The old Sphero 2.0 app was much better. It provided many fun dances that the Sphero could do and some would be themed around holidays. It also provided a mini game that would allow you to level up and unlock more dances. There's no excuse why they couldn't add atleast the dances to this updated app. Such a horrible decision by the developers.
