the force band itself has a pretty lackluster accelerometer in it, which limits the functionality. the app however has virtually limitless compatibility and is very effective at pairing with device. since all sphero products run javascript I cant wait to see what I can mod this to do. may the force be with you.
Great app that gives sufficient information on how to use the force band. The only problem I'm having is the app not fitting my entire screen. I have a J4+ and this is pretty much the only app that doesn't run full screen. I would make it 5/5 if it ran full screen.
Its the best. I am using the galaxy S9 and it is very good. What are the problems? Kind of disappointed that the force control doesn't work anymore. And in the droid control feature when we force pull and face the hand to the right it goes left same when we do left it goes right please fix this problem. Other then that no problems at all.
I just got it yesterday and love it! the lightsaber sound is great for turning a plain bladebuilder lightsaber into a more durable electric lightsaber, because you can have the open and close sound and swing and clashing noises, and the bb8 unit control would be awesome if there was also a rc flying rock or something you could get, maybe a light saber hilt, and the only thing I could see to make it better is a walkie talkies mode, where you can hold the button the talk to a friend
Great fun- does work with R2D2- you have to use the band to wake R2 up, not the app. Really hope sphero continue to update the app, seems to have a lot of potential and would be great to help teach kids programming
I have a regular Samsung S9 , and it just doesn't pair , even though I turned on the Bluetooth , and downloaded the app , they need to update the app.... Highly disappointed because I was looking forward to using the Force Watch....
i absolutely love it! takes a moment to get use to steering but it's like driving. the effects are great also.
Holocrons are worthless. They are SWTFA trivia that have nothing to do with jedi or sith history and have nearly no information. Force band Droid control is epic and this app is required to set that up. Combat Training is pretty cool but sadly the sound effects are all locked away by the non-force "holocrons" that ruin this app before you can use them so this app holds your devuce hostage even after set up. Bad sphero!
tons of fun! best way to control your Droid, and it has great features outside of the controller. a must have for sphero Droid others.
There are only 2 activities. And after i complete the second one theres no tutorial on what to do next >:( i cant even control bb-8 because the app wont recognize the force band :( pls fix this before my 7 year old bothers B-day on april 3 cuz he wants to use the force band too.
I've tried to download the app several times on both my phone and tablet and all I get is a black screen when it opens. Not sure if it's because I'm using an android. Very sad I can't use it.
The reason I put a five-star is because whenever my dad put some music on Bluetooth it puts that on to my phone and somehow the music comes out of my phone Anyways it's a great thing for music
The force is strong with this app. The band is cool to look, cool to carry. It is a SW fan must have.
It was amazing! with the band but can you tell me how can I restore my session from one phone to another. Please!!!!!!
Very Cool! You control all the droids(sold seperately) with this force band. You start with bb-8 then you can control other droids.
Absolutely brilliant. Much easier way to control BB8 and R2D2.
Our whole family is having a blast with the band! It's fun both with and without the BB8 droid.
That band is great the app works perfectly on pairing and the activities on it are always fun.
It is amazing! it really works and the sensors and gyros really work I LOVE IT!!!!!
Black screen non functional app with Android OS 11. Sphero isn't going to update the app. Thanks for nothing I bought a force and YESTERDAY! HORRIBLE COMPANY.
Links up with force band quickly. Works as it is supposed to.
Useless it does not show holocron icon as in the instruction video. Just connects to the band and does nothing fun
I keep geeting kicked out the app after connecting to tue watch cant see whqt to do next please fix bug and fast really want to use
The Force Band App works great and is a lot of fun! The updates being bothersome, the size of these files have a irritating tendency to be huge, utilizing ur phone's internal storage and usually take 15 minutes to download. If it weren't for the updates, I would be giving this otherwise fantastic App 5 Stars! Additionally, if you were to pair the Star Wars Force Band with the Star Wars BB-8 Droid(sold separately)it antes up the fun factor by a hundred!! Both compliment each other beautifully.
