Review summary

Users generally praise the quality and performance of the Halo Rover hoverboard itself. However, the app receives widespread criticism for poor Bluetooth connectivity with Android devices, unstable or failed connections, and frequent crashes. Many report being unable to change modes or access advanced settings due to app malfunction. Additional issues include non-functional GPS tracking, an outdated and limited user interface, and annoying sounds that cannot be muted. Despite some users managing to connect after trial, most find the app unreliable, diminishing the overall experience with the hoverboard.

Pros

App connects to hoverboard enabling access to basic controls like speed adjustment and mode selection.
App provides features such as speedometer, odometer, battery life display, and music playback through Bluetooth.
The hoverboard itself is highly regarded for its quality and performance, with many users expressing satisfaction with the device.
Some users successfully paired the app with their hoverboard after trial and error, indicating it is possible to connect on Android devices.
The app offers multiple riding modes ranging from beginner to advanced, enhancing customization for riders.

Cons

App frequently fails to connect with Android devices, causing users to be unable to access advanced features or change modes.
Bluetooth connection is unstable or fails, with the app often stuck scanning and not recognizing the hoverboard.
App interface is outdated, with poor design and lack of functionality such as inability to control lights or mute annoying sounds.
GPS tracking and map features often do not work or display blank screens, limiting usefulness.
App crashes on launch or is slow to respond, leading to user frustration and negative experience.

2024-12-26	An*****	Saved my Daughters Christamas. Bought he a Hoverboard which initially connected with the board via Bluetooth. But was not able to connect to adjust speed etc. I was advised yo give this App a try and it connected immediately. It doesn't let me adjust the lights. But I'm just happy to get access to the other controls.

2024-09-13	Sm*****	Do better halo, app does NOT work with android. 500 bucks for a board that i can NOT use the features or even get out of beginner mode. Would not recommend anybody buy this hoverboard or anything from halo. What a waste of money

2024-05-19	aN*****	Terrible. The app just does not work with Androids. I've tried four different Androids, AND this has been a known problem for the last four and a half years and they've never fixed it. They obviously couldn't care less about the customers

2023-12-29	JD*****	App completely dysfunctional. It will open and only give me five screens with text on them. No functionality to proceed in the app or connect to the board. The rover itself is amazing.

2023-08-18	TH*****	It's trash, crashing every time you open, letting you in for not even 1 second. It's got GPS signal and speeds for your board, but it sucks tbh

2023-04-29	Ro*****	Crashes on launch every time. Love the hoverboard but the app has been disappointing. Slow to find board, map not working properly... and updated to non functional over a year later. I've had better luck using a competitor's app with your board.

2022-09-06	Da*****	Doesn't even connect with this app with my Note 9, which is very disappointing considering I paid 500 bucks and functionality controlling the beginner to advanced is part of setting the hardware. Hopefully an update is coming really soon to fix this or there's no way I'd recommend this to my friends.

2022-04-02	Br*****	Doesn't connect to Bluetooth. I even reset the hoverboard rover x but the Bluetooth still does not connect because it keeps saying wrong password after typing "000000".

2021-09-18	Dw*****	Edit #3. Almost 2 years later. The Rover X still rides better than any of the boards I own and many others I've ridden! By far! The odometer just passed over 400 miles and is still something I ride every single day! I will never buy another brand or model again. It will always be the Halo Rover because I know it is exceptionally made! The app is halfway useful and halfway garbage though. Its great for seeing speed and mileage. Tracking been broken since day 1 though and still hasnt been fixed

2021-08-10	ri*****	The app at first although seeming a little cheep had no trouble coveting to my bord but after setting up the tracking and blue tooth password it despite how many times I typed in the correct password it still said it was wrong and didn't let me login to change my setting for how expensive this bord was you wold expect the app to be good but no the only reason I wold install this app is to sett up Bluetooth and that's it Uninstall it its trash and not worth your time
