Customers are saying

Customers recognize the Special Edition BB-8™ App-Enabled Droid™ with Force Band™ for its ease of use, fun factor, and impressive movement. The force band and app provide good control, although some customers feel the droid is smaller than expected and the head can detach too easily.

    The Sphero is really cool and runs around as promised. Its easy to control and the camera provides cool holographic images. After loading more that 100 updates to the Force band it still does not work properly. It charges well and has good power and range.

    I purchased this for my 8 year old son after he saw numerous commercials marketing the product and its numerous uses in connection with a force band and android app. We purchased him a tablet to download the force band app and it didn't work so he's stuck with just watching the droid wobble back and forth using the force band. The head keeps falling off and doesn't stay connected to the magnets. I would take it back and get my money back if it wouldn't devastate my son.

    Downloads, learning how to use , lack of detailed instructions or troubleshooting guidelines makes for a couple of hours of your time but once working your kid is off and having fun

    Bb8 is really fun to play with. However it does have a few issues. Dose not work very well on carpet. Also if you use bb8 with the force band accessory it takes hours to update

    Kids liked it for a while but they lost interest with it quickly. For the price we paid it should have been more responsive.

    Fun Toy but not so user friendly to control. Need special training to control but once you learn really fun to play with it.

    Does not do well on tile or carpet or any basic surface. Does not respond to the force band most of the time.

    A cool concept that any Star Wars fan could appreciate. However, the controls should be more responsive.

    After updating for about 30 minutes, BB-8 is an average toy that doesn't provide much fun.

    Wow, what a waste thing is. It doesn't really do anything. My 10yr old has to be forced to play with it and still won't. We even tried to watch The Force Awakens, with the ipad app, and it did nothing (its supposed to react to stuff during the movie). Don't waste your money.
