Easy and very interactive! Would have liked an explanation of each part up front, As there are some extra pieces and I assume I have to do more missions to learn about them. Overall really cool.
Had trouble connecting via the app for the longest time. Now that I got it working, I like it. It's got cool features that allow me to control the droid and go through different missions.
Not a bad app or toy. I'd give it 5 stars if I was able to connect. I've done everything from power cycling, to cleaning the parts, to uninstalling than reinstalling, my device recognizes the toy, but cannot connect. Gets 3 stars because my son still likes it even though he cant actually use it.
If you bought the little bits droid set, this is the app. It is so much fun and I can spend hours controlling my droid. Easy to build and fun to control. I just wish you could do a little more, but other than that 5 stars
The droid works great but someone needs to format the app. Can't resize or even see some of the buttons. The UI really needs a lot of work.
an app clearly designed for very small children with questionable design like forcing you to watch the same video of building the same circuit to unlock every individual controlling surface which are all of questionable usefulness with none of the controllers being reprogamable to the anywhere near the extent tdd I expected
I had a hard time downloading at first, but the help support were wonderful. If you find a problem, contact them and they will help and make sure if a way to fix the problem. Overall great experience and I would recommend to any Star Wars fans.
I got this for Christmas 2017 and since around July in 2017 my servo bit started only turning in one direction. If I push it the other way, it literally wants to just turn back the other way. Otherwise this is really fun and if my servo bit gets fixed, I will be so happy! littleBits <3 great
Had a slight difficulty connecting to bluetooth. The front wheel doesn't snap in very well. Other than that awesome!
Terrific experience design. Teaches some solid, practical lessons about electronic and mechanical design - without ever feeling an education focused experience.
The app keeps crashing when I exit out of the app and try and re-open at a later time. have to delete and re-download the app again.
Thanks for the great app and beautiful R2D2 Droid by littlebits. It is really sad that company was sold and actually stop development and inventions of a new kits and bits. It was a fantastic time when I bought this kit for my son. Thanks a lot to Ayah Bdeir, you are genius.
Keeps showing the error message with the code number 910. I tried many methods that are introduced on A YouTube video supposedly should solve the problem, but they didn't work for my tablet. What should I do?
Nice toy. But unfortunatelly this app connects to bot only on some phones. I have tried 3 different phones and only Samsung S9 was able to connect to bot via bluetooth.
I got a faulty moter meaning that the $80 that I spent was completely worthless because the droid can't move. I know this isn't technically part of the actual app but it still makes the app worthless because I can't use the app. Also all instructions are in the app which took me five minutes to figure out because the only thing telling you that is some small words on the health and safety info.
very fun app. bought this toy for my 6yo, he loves it. the app provides good walkthroughs on building circuits and droid body, as well as controlling droid. fun, simple, and engaging.
I'm not sure why this app is pretty much the largest app I have ever installed, out of hundreds. It's hard to believe that all 430MB of this download are critical and efficiently designed
Super easy to understand. Super kool instructions, I never seen better instructions in my life. All assembly instructions should be done this way. Highly recommended.
I can not find instructions! Right now it is just a pain in the neck. The box didn't have instructions, can Not find instructions even on the app. If you don't have the basics, you have nothing! Very disappointed!
Put together and working droid in 30mins. Im not a tech expert, very easy to follow instructions on the app.
I had some issues with Bluetooth connection, but I emailed the help team and they responded right away and we're able to help! Thank you so much ❤️😊
It's amazing. Best app since anki overdtive. I love R2 so I made him but stickers fell off so now he is red, black, and blue all over! May the force be with you young padawans!
my son got an R2D2 for christmas and we used my apple phone to get it going but once we tried to sync it to one of the tablets or my wifes android phone it will not sync at all. i have deleted the app from my phone hoping that would help but still nothing. does anyone have a solution for this problem or is my son stuck with a toy he cant play with?
What a beautiful app! My son (7yo) and I are enjoying this app on a tablet, the graphics and interface are amazing. Great job Little Bits!
The App skipped one installation part and showed another one twice. We could not get back to fix it.
I have used the app a yaer ago and it worked fine, but now when I start a mission it doesn't show anything on the screen. Not the best experience😐😕.
The app works with the droid great, and my boy loves playing with it, but ever since we installed it, my phone has started having glitches. It goes blank, or to a rainbow screen, or tries to open the app and various other things when the phone is idle and not in use. We are going to have to delete it and will have a $100 toy that he cannot play with. Something is wrong with this program.
