Review summary

The LOOI Android app has potential as an interactive desktop robot capable of movement and taking photos, with a generally polished interface. However, users frequently experience critical issues such as nonfunctional voice commands, app crashes especially on recent Android devices, and pairing/connectivity problems. While some find workarounds like speaking slower, inconsistent performance and insufficient developer support contribute to user frustration. The app works well on a few older phone models, but overall, many reviews highlight the app as buggy and not ready for full functionality.

Pros

App works well on some older or specific Android models (e.g., Samsung S9 and S21).
Robot performs actions like moving, taking pictures, and animations effectively.
The concept of an interactive desktop robot with AI chat shows potential.
Application interface and user experience are generally well polished when functional.
Some users found that speaking slower to the robot improves voice recognition.

Cons

Major voice recognition issues: many users report that the robot does not respond to voice commands or wake phrases.
App crashes frequently on newer or recent Android devices such as Samsung S22 Ultra, S23 Ultra, Pixel 7a, Pixel 8a, and Android 14.
Difficulty pairing the robot with various Android phones and inconsistent connectivity problems.
Lack of updates, support, and communication from developers leaves users without fixes or help.
Limited or no AI conversation beyond short Q&A, leading to disappointing user experience.

2025-01-24	Ca*****	Sweet update, Looi's way more responsive now! Hopefully, future updates will let Looi search the web for the latest stuff when asked, play videos or music, and more.

2025-01-19	Co*****	Update- it was a wifi issue. Something about 5 vs 2.5. So if you are having turbulence start LOOI with your wifi off and just use mobile data. After that LOOI has worked as intended. Put wifi back on and still worked normally. Received the hardware today and no voice commands are working as numerous people have posted on kickstarter and other sites. Please fix this issue and basically making the robot useless Keep trying. 1.1.2 didn't work on S22 phone.

2025-01-17	Is*****	The Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra actually comes with Android 14 (One UI 6) as its operating system. It also features a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 processor. and it does not work with the app

2025-01-13	Lo*****	Still does not work with Android phones. I feel ripped off that they can build a (supposedly)interactive robot but not design an app to turn it on. Samsung Note 8.

2025-01-12	ja*****	It's Awesome!!!!! So far, it only chats in a question and an answer. Making chats very short. You have to say "Hey Looi" after to continue. He needs longer chat, but everything is working perfectly on my phone. Also, it works on my galaxy. Maybe more Tutorials on how things work - may be needed. I see it is very much a alien to mostly everyone.

2025-01-12	Ma*****	Looi is completely unresponsive to all vocal interactions. The two finger tap workaround isn't real. Talking slower to him doesn't work. I work in IT with artificial intelligence, and my wife gave me this for a Christmas present. All permissions are set correctly. Order of operations has been done correctly. Multiple phones have been tried (Android only) from the Galaxy S7 Edge to the Galaxy S24 Ultra. Most comments align with this one, and there is no public statement by the developers. Scam?

2025-01-10	Er*****	Not yet ready. Doesn't work on my galaxy s21 ultra or my s24 ultra. Looi doesn't answer or respond. He moves around, takes pictures, does random animations, stays on desk, all the games play. But he doesn't respond to his wake phrase and just seems to think for a few seconds when I try two finger touch. No Ai chat. Seems like everything is working accept this most important feature. This was a Christmas gift I was really excited to receive. Please get it working.

2025-01-06	Ra*****	Does not recognize my voice I am using a Samsung 23 ultra. Looi Does not speak at all. As the other reviewer stated all the robot does is look at me and take pictures. The double tap on the screen also did not prompt Looi to speak. I have granted all permissions but app still does not work.
