Droid Depot for Negative User Reviews

✓ It was working great...until the new OS updateI really loved this app because it made the droid feel so much more alive! Unfortunately, ever since the OS update last week for the iPhones the app will rarely connect to the droid (even with the control turned off and new batteries) and sometimes if I can actually get the droid paired with the app it will disconnect mid dance sequence :/ I hope they update the app for the new OS soon.... would love to use this app more again..MimosaMellieVersion: 1.0.0

✓ Great concept. Needs fixing.This app is potentially the coolest thing to come out of buying my Astromech since actually building it. Unfortunately the app refused to connect even though I was following the steps and when it finally did, it only really controlled one leg while the other was dead weight. At first I thought it was my droid so I disconnected the app and reconnected the remote. Nope! Worked just fine. So I deleted and redownloaded the app. Same issues. I want to be a fan of this, but it does need some adjustments. Update soon please!.ChrisVennyTVersion: 1.0.0

✓ It’s ok…It seems the controls can used a tiny bit softer than the remote, the droid just goes 100 miles an hour still and too far at a tap. The game, it’s tic tac toe, so anyone older than 4 or 5 can’t lose. Another game option would be nice if it was a simple card game. The dance is a nice touch, but u can’t hear the song over the droid, again rolls off too far. The droid builder was the most disappointing. You basically choose which body then head shape and name. No colors (all blue w white outlines) or accessories. I doubt they’ll ever do any updates since the app is bug free as I can tell. But a couple adds if they do that would be cool since it uses your blue tooth is setting it to follow u around, lowering the movement speed and volume of the beeps. Have a fun day!.CitadelliVersion: 1.0.0

✓ No C Unit droid supportIt’s a fun app that adds lots of added fun to the droids. However there has been no update for C-unit support. The C units have been out for more than a year at the time of writing this. It would be nice to have. The app will still control them but none of the added functionality that the B and R units get..LeShad82Version: 1.0.2

✓ More virtual droid options/featuresSince I do not have a droid from Galaxy’s Edge I can’t use most of the app’s features. I was hoping for more from virtual droid. You can’t even add colour templates or name your droid. I think that would be a good feature to add. That way for those who haven’t visited the park yet, can see all the combinations they can make and be inspired to go to droid depot..Captain_PancakeVersion: 1.0.0

✓ Needs some updatesRecently built a BB unit and linked to the app. I like the softer control of the app, and not having to carry the remote. However, not all options are listed, and the edit button does not work to name your droid. I named mine BR-57, but I can’t enter that. I can’t enter anything. When they fix it, I hope they’ll allow a larger name, as I’ve seen some saying that it only allows four characters..Jonesie57Version: 1.0.2

✓ Excellent except for Droid BuilderThe droid builder process is very underwhelming. You pick a head for an R unit and...that’s it. It’s a one step process. If we could pick colors afterward to make these droids look like the ones we purchased at Disney, or to get an idea of how we want it to look when we eventually go to Galaxy’s Edge, then I would rate this at five stars. Syncing with the droid we do have was easy and fun. The maneuvering function is delightful..Redrum1120Version: 1.0.0

✓ Good start but needs work to be perfectVery excited by the promise of finding new ways to interact with my R4 astromech I built at Galaxy’s Edge in Orlando. One complaint from me: cannot edit the Profile section, using an iPhone 11 Pro with the latest iOS. I’d love to have the app remember the model of my droid, its name and the other details. If the developers can carefully add some content, such as replicating the personalities of the droids, such as the chips sold as accessories in Galaxy’s Edge, that would add a fun range of new sounds and actions. If the next update fixes the Profile issue, I would be inclined to update my review..Boba ChefVersion: 1.0.0

✓ Wouldn’t ConnectI tried with 2 Droids bb and r unit with different devices on different OS. Failed everytime..Myop99Version: 1.0.0

✓ Released too earlyThe app is very buggy especially if paired with a droid from galaxy’s edge. The connection process via Bluetooth is a pain in the neck. The droid only stays connected for about 5-10 seconds once you actually do sync the app with it. Good concept and much appreciated over the regular controller but man I wished this worked properly.DmbpjfanVersion: 1.0.0

✓ There’s no music for my droid to dance toI select 1, 2, or 3 and no music plays. I own the whole soundtrack already. What am I doing wrong?.Angry, angry bird.Version: 1.0.0

✓ App crashI recently got a droid from galaxy Star Wars, and I downloaded the app. Well as soon as I start the app and scan the app crashes and I have tried deleting the app, restarting my phone, downloading it again. But nothing is working it still crashes. I though maybe it’s my phone (iPhone 13pro max) so I tried it on other phones like iPhone12, iPhone 13 and iPhone 10 but none of that worked either. The app crashes on all. I don’t know what to do !!!!!.Gamer 17121999Version: 1.0.2

✓ Only useful/fun if you have a droidLike I said, if you already have a droid this makes your phone a substitute controller that is a lot more responsive than the stock one. But if you don’t have a droid yet this app is basically worthless! The droid builder feature is so basic that it’s not even worth including on the app unless they plan to let you add/experiment with different colors and designs. But I feel like that would be more effort then Disney is likely willing to put in.1st = the bestVersion: 1.0.0

✓ Not working with my droidBuilt an R2 unit back in January but the app will not connect with him..Quinky11Version: 1.0.0

✓ Hopefully this will be updated soon.I had to try to connect my droid about 6 times. When it finally connected the sound wouldn't work even when I clicked no in the set up menu for sound. You can’t edit the droids name or anything. You can really just move the droid forward and back which could have been done with the regular remote. I hope this app will be updated because I feel like it had great potential, was excited for it but :/.BugbrownVersion: 1.0.0

✓ Trash. Have to redo the entire log in process almost everytimeIf you close the app, you have to do the initial log in process. Which includes taking the droid apart to turn it off, then disconnecting the physical remote, then waiting for the connection, then turn it back on, then reassemble the droid, etc… it’s ridiculous and not worth anyones time. Don’t waste your time with this. Stick to the remote you get with the droid….Thnks2Version: 1.0.2

✓ Basic App Could be BetterIt’s nice you can control your droid through the app vs the clunky remote. It seems the edit feature for being able to change your droid’s name is no longer working which is disappointing if you want to be able to change its name. The strategy game is basic tic tac toe, all in all the app is just ok..TJohn73Version: 1.0.2

✓ Disconnects after a few minutesThe app is great, if only it didn’t disconnect after a few minutes. My BB8 goes into sleep mode and I have to open it up, turn it off then on again, and try again. Rinse, wash and repeat. My physical controller never disconnects. I’ll try changing the batteries to see if that changes anything, and let you know. If anyone has experienced this, please let me know how to fit it..Dyson in yo faceVersion: 1.0.0

✓ Junk.Has anyone actually USED this? I can’t get it to connect to the droid I already have. Some others can’t either. One person called this app a ‘game’. Are we reviewing this app before we actually try it? Worthless right now. ********EDIT******* Finally got it to sync. Turn off the remote that comes with the droid. The app will control it now. Other than dancing, the app is still pretty boring. Bumped from one to three stars..Randman20Version: 1.0.0

✓ Great concept but...My droid disconnects every single time I get the sequence hooked up. It goes into auto sleep as soon as I initiate which means ripping open my BB unit all over again (much faster than it would after regular use). This is a brand new droid from February that’s been used very sparingly to conserve battery. I’ve had to reconnect seven times since downloading the app 30 minutes ago. I’ve been able to get it to pair but my droid won’t stay on long enough to really use it (I have the controller off the entire time). Love the concept though and hopefully it’ll work better in the future!.LVgurl85Version: 1.0.0

✓ More autonomyThere are a few other droids and droid apps out there that have features that I don’t imagine would be all that difficult to include in Depot droids: Autonomy: I have the old Target BB-8 droid. You can set it to just roam around your house or patrol. I also have the D-0 droid which can chase a ball and can interact with proximity. A couple of these features may need proximity sensors on droids, but the BB-8 droid also allows you to program in a series of moves. Interactivity: my daughter has L0-LA59. It doesn’t fly or walk, but it talks and moves on its own. It can be put to sleep and it reacts to touch. All of these features in a Depot droid, which already exist in this droid would be a significant improvement. They’d be fairly simple to integrate into R-unit heads. Communication: remember Furbies? They could talk to each other and interact with users voices. If you could figure out how to make BB-8 role with a magnetic head, it shouldn’t be all that difficult to build sensors to pick up noises, especially from other droids. This feature, plus proximity sensors, and some basic autonomy (like a Roomba) would be worth flying all the way to a Disney to make all new droids..Y U No Like ImportVersion: 1.0.2

✓ Huge improvement but still a few bugsThis app makes the droid from galaxy’s edge so much better. The controls are much more fluid and responsive, the droid is more “talkative” and the movement sync with the music is excellent. My main complaint is that on the controller portion of the app, the top red button (the one for accessories) doesn’t function. I have the blasters installed on my R unit and when I hit the button nothing happens, sometimes the random noises it makes now include the blasters firing so I know they work and I tried with the original controller and they function as expected. This app I’m sure will continue to get better, but for the accessories not to work is a pretty big let down since they cost extra and the expectation is that they will continue to function.TwinIonVersion: 1.0.0
