Control your Lego Mindstorms NXT robot from your phone via Bluetooth.

Several control schemes to choose from (switch from menu).

Sensor readings This app works great, but it isn't the best for remote control without being near the robot because you cannot view sensor output. Maybe add a sensor panel in the menu that lists the readings of each? It's still worth 5 stars though :)

So great! I usually don't write reviews, but This made me so happy I had to! It worked immediately. It took no programming on the NXT. It just connects through Bluetooth and goes. :)

Great job. I really like the multiple ways of controlling the motors. The touch pad works great. There are some connection issues but I think it is either my Moto G or the Lego NXT brick itself. This is being loads of fun.

Worked After A Little Pairing Session Took a little fiddling, but worked as slick as snails. Lost comm as 10-year-old interest started waning, but a satisfying experience!

Does not seem to work with Nook HD tablet. Works on my phone but not my sons's Nook HD tablet. A little disappointed.
Will Brewer
good. i recommend it it works great. some time it dose int connect but all you do is close the app then reopen it then it works. you should make it so it can be like a spy bot with two androids and live video feed also you need a ev3 version.

I love this app No lag at all. Some times it disconnects, the BEST NXT CONTROLER EVER. The only problem is that you have to change a setting in the nxt it self. Others DONT COME CLOSE TO THIS APP. I give it 5 stars. Best thanks to the developers who made this app. Can't wait for the next update. :-)
LOL amazing! Scared my mom.Its a hreat app,instead of programing the robot yu can control it its way easier.
Best Get it!!! Only if you lose connection between you and your NXT go to the nxt and press Bluetooth then contacts click your phone and done! That was the only problem!!!! :-) GET IT!!! :-)
Wonderful Yes! I can finally control my Terminator, I hate having to make pre-set movements. I can now control the world with my phone. I really like this app.
Chrash It sometimes crashes on my nexus 7... Although I have another next app maybe I should delete that.
Really good This app works really well and is a great controll for the nxt. Sometimes it does not connect and I have to re-pair with the nxt. Overall, really good app and best of them all
Great App Evan works while running another nxt program in the background. This overrides the program if it contradict is the background program
Excellent Very simple to set up. An absolute must have for any mindstorm nxt enthusiast. All 3 servos controllable. Thanks for this free program.
Great app, plz add gyro sensor There aren't that many apps for the nxt, and this one is great, but gyro sensor is very useful and material design would be nice but at this point isn't exactly a necessity.
Get This If You Have NXT The best remote controller fot NXT. I use it for my robotics class, and my team thanks me. RECOMMENDED TO EVERYONE!
Works great on Samsung Galaxy Note What a great app to remind me how good NCT is! Haven't used it for years but this will help me and my daughter build stuff together. Great job.
Simple, but useful The best NXT controller I've used. Very simple to set up and use. The touchpad control scheme is probably the best method for controlling the robot. Wish it had sensor readouts, but this app is supposed to be lightweight, so I'm not complaining.
Car remote idea Is there a possibility that you could add an option that allows you to rotate a motor a certain amount of degrees, and then goes back again, like return-to-the-center steering?
Very good You should add a camera mode, so 1 phone is on the mindstorm and the other is controlling and seeing what the other phone sees. Then you'll get 5 stars!
Unofficial but still good! I like it how you can change the speed of the motors but I don't know how to use the other sensors with this app :-( Besides that this app uses Bluetooth and it at least controls a NXT and the 3 motors.
IF U NEED TO CONTROL YOUR NXT USE THIS APP This app WORKS I tried it and no lag and its FREE!
Sucks I have no idea how to get to other control methods. Why can't there be a menu that you can chose which one to use?
Great it has no lag. I downloaded almost all other remotes and this is the best. Tip don't use the arrows, use the tank and track setting.
Wonderful This remote control for the Nxt is AWESOME!! It works smoothly with no lags or problems!!! Amazing work!
Great app This app is very good and alot of fun. Many options for steering but hard to get to connect it you only have to play with it and eventually it will connect
Can't connnect My nxt keeps asking for code but I confused please help
Cool but battery draining Cool app for controlling your NXT remotely. Limited functions and drains your battery.
Amazing! This app is super great! It has allowed my Robotics class to make basic battle bots before our advanced protects.
Great app This app works great! The best thing about it is the different types of control it has.
Works flawlessly It could have possibility to program predefined motor movements (ie. for shooting)
Works great. But it could use some more features like animation when sliding the tank, 3 motor drive and touch pad. But keep up the great work!
So simple....how easy. It took a few minutes of scanning etc but connected and works! How clever!
I think it's awesome I think it's beast and I live in the Southside so I like turtles lol
Awesome Works perfectly, though very rarely it does not pair but its very rare. Just awesome.
Nice! I make little machines that grab things and this is great for running bots without programming!
Aaaaa I really need some help because .I need to know which types of machines it controls. Please send me feedback.
Worked really well. I use NXT robotics in our middle school tech program, and I installed and connected to a NXT brick in minutes. Easy to use and interface is clean. I will use this with the kids in class.
its so cool me and my friend went ahead of the class and figured out the bluetooth mode it makes your lego robot move without coding it
Remote NXT THE BEST REMOTE NXT APP I'VE FOUND SO FAR. It would be soooo good to include a vernier adapter option with this...

What's New
Should now work on some older phones like HTC Desire where previously the connection would always fail.
Fixed an issue where having unrelated devices paired with the phone caused the application to crash.
