    Nice gadget to maneuver your R2-D2, BB8 and other Droid. Takes a little time to get use to use but will be lots of fun!!!

    I got this product to go with sphero bb8 for my 7 year old. I enjoy this product because it keeps my son from using my phone to control the droid and he loves the sounds it make when he is waving his hand around. The only issue I had was actually trying to control it with sphero it was quite slower and harder to control versus the phone. I did like the game on the app to help you learn how to control the droid but it was still difficult even for me.

    I get more exercise with the band than the app, but make sure you have enough room for your droid and for swinging your arm around.

    My son wanted the BB8 droid for Christmas and I was lucky enough to find the BB8 at my local Best Buy and the ForceBand was included for FREE during a promotional period - thanks Best Buy!

    I got this free with my R2-Q5 This is a game changer folks. Pick this up if you already have a Droid. Better yet, you can probably get it free with purchase of a new one. It's awesome

    This came with the BB8 toy and was gifted. Not sure how well it works but it does have the "cool" factor for star wars fans.

    Took a little while to figure out but good way to surprise guests by having droid move around without phone controls.

    This takes some time to get use to and does not have all the controls of the iPhone. However it is cool to use for controlling BB-8.

    I don't have the BB-8 that this is used for but I just really liked how the band looks. There are some interactive things you can do with the app that doesn't require BB-8

    This is an added bonus to the little droid. Advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic after all. Hooray.

    Very cool idea. I’m still trying to get the hang of it, so the one star deduction is based on my own ineptitude.

    It takes a few tries to learn how to control my BB8. I followed the training a few times and it really helped. I would recommend if you see it priced under $50.
