Sphero BB 8 is an application for Android that allows users to remotely control a popular Star Wars robot toy.
Control
Users can download this utility to easily control a toy version of a well-known droid called BB-8. This character comes from Star Wars franchise and is hugely loved among its fans. There is an option to drive the robot, create messages and make him explore the places on his own.
All the sound that BB 8 makes comes from the smartphone. The droid only works when the application is launched. It is worth noting that the toy moves just like in the movies. His head and body rolls around according to how you click the control panel.
Connect
The process of establishing connection is quite simple and completed via Bluetooth. You need to get the application launched and hold your smartphone near the toy for a few minutes.
Once the connection is established successfully, you can hear an official Star Wars theme and control the droid.
Additional assets
Before starting to use Sphero BB 8, it is necessary to download additional assets. However, this process does not seem to be completed. There is no progress or changes in download speed and time remaining. This may indicate that the app is not working correctly.
