This is the coolest toy ever because it allows one to teach their little one about robotics and emojis, all in one cool toy, allowing the user to learn how to program at the same time. Coolest gift ever! I hope my grandson enjoys it! Thank you Best buy!

Coji is a great family toy

My daughter received Coji from Santa last December and the family has had a ton of fun learning the basic principles of coding with... it?!?
If you’re a child of the 80’s, Coji brings back memories of toys like Big Tracks (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_Trak).
This toy allows kids, and adults, to send messages, navigate mazes, and to terrorize other family members with pranks and... “surprises”.
As of 4/17/18, our Coji still has its original batteries in it (from 12/25/17).
You do have to be able to download a free, and easy to use, app in order to really use the device.
All in all, this little guy has helped foster positive family relations and created a lot of fun since day and one.

My 11year old was happy playing for hours after I loaded application on the phone. She was able to use free mode to get Coji to go and turn to where she wanted. The preloaded words and sounds had her laugh and she repeated same command over and over. Great toy!

I purchased this coding robot for my four year old son, as I have been wanting to get him into this kind of stuff at an early age. He absolutely loved it! It is so easy to use, and the fact that you use emoji characters to program it makes it great with the kids.
For a starter robot, the price is just right. Once my son gets the full hang of it, I hope to move him up to something bigger and better.
I would definitely recommend this to anyone for their chuild.

I purchased the Coji for my four year old son. I want to get him into coding, and felt like this is a really good way to get him into it. I really loved how easy it was to teach my son how to use it. It is great for beginners! My son had it up and running in no time. The app looks a bit outdated, but I don't mind since I'll be upgrading him to something better in the near future.

Great fun at a great price. Rather than just playing games on the iPad, my son interacts with the robot and it responds to his instructions. Fun.

Bought as a gift, app is quite small to use on phone, especially for little fingers. Purchased for the low end of the age range, Grandmas do those things but it is a growing toy so I am hoping that changes.

This is a basic robot for young kids. It teaches them the basics of how a robot works and moves, but could get old fast.

This is a good attention-getter for 5-6 year olds. It gives them something to do with their tablet and entices them to come back again to either start something new or try an activity again.

First off, I should mention that I did not buy this at full price from BestBuy. They had it on sale, but I was able to get them to price match a different company. It is definitely not worth full price. As far as movement goes, it goes backwards, forwards, left and right. The arms and head to not move unless you manually move them.
What really kills the experience is the app. I know it's primarily for a child, but it really looks like they haven't taken much time to build it. The sound/music will drive you absolutely bonkers, so make sure it's quiet enough where you can't hear it all that much.
I feel if Coji moved his/her arms it would be more of a game changer for me. Nope. You'll have to spend a considerable amount more for that feature. My child grew bored of this after the first week of playing with it.
