We have three different Android devices, two phones and a tablet, in this house and not a single one works with this app. It opens, we click the go button and it shuts down. Is there a fix for this?
Same problem as the last few reviews. Installed on a brand new Galaxy Tab running Android 11 and after clicking the central play button on initial splash screen the app stops. Ironic as one of the reason I bought this new tablet is the OS on our trusty iPad is too old to run this app! Would the developers please response and hopefully fix the issue otherwise the kids Dash robot is as good as a paperweight, generating the wrong kind of 'wonder'.
App doesn't work on Android 12. Crashes on boot. Tested it on 3 different devices with the same results.
Okay didn't connect to my tablet but it's still good app but it's still cool
as a blockly programming app it has a nice interface. doesn't allow for zooming in making it difficult to work on the andoid phone. it has limitations with its parameters.
Rather disappointed that the app that runs this expensive robot crashes each time it is launched on an android device. Please fix your app!
The app does not work on Android, it crashes immediately on multiple devices.
The app is great, and had many challenges for Dash & Dot, but you need to add more challenges so the app and my robots will be better.
Can't use keyboard to change names etc using a Galaxy 9+. Writing is too small while not utilising available screenspace. Try the app on your phone before you purchase one of their bots.
It is bad. You literally have to buy robots just to buy the game! And I dont now were to buy them. So make it so tge ones that don't have robots have Dot and Dash on screen, when you press run. If you so ads that, I will gove it a 5 star rating.
Buggy Does not allow you to trash commands and my son is stuck on second tutorial. He is frustrated and can't seem to program other than with a when start program.
If you don't have a robot it's not that fun but if you do have a robot it's so much fun it's like you get to code to play games that's why I find it fun 😊
Blockly is not usable on Samsung Galaxy Tab E, although the device is displayed on the compatibility list.
Used to work on my tablet but updates mean it no longer displays the upload button.
It's helped me to get an understanding of pretty much everything This is awesome for beginners Try it
Great experience for the dash and dot robots, i own a dot robot and honestly i love this. Stay safe
Nice app but what happened to the "Wonder for Dash & Dot" app? It doesn't show up in search on the Play Store. It's available for iOS.
