Features & Capabilities

Sphero Play offers an engaging and interactive way to drive and play with various Sphero robots including Mini, 2.0, SPRK, BOLT, and more. Users can connect and control their robots through multiple drive modes such as joystick, slingshot, tilt, and voice controls. The app brings fun sports-themed controls like swinging to "golf" or flicking to "kick" the robot (available on gyroscope-enabled devices).

Beyond driving, Sphero Play enhances learning through its Block Drive programming feature, providing an introduction to coding by controlling robot movements with colorful blocks. Additionally, the app includes several games where the robot serves as a controller to shoot in space, race through tunnels while avoiding obstacles, or break polygons by rotating the ball. It's an all-in-one app for entertainment and education with Sphero robots. For those interested in getting robots, Sphero's website offers purchase options.

User Reviews

Users praise Sphero Play as fun, engaging, and largely ad-free, with strong drive modes (joystick) and games, especially on Sphero Mini. Recurring drawbacks are connectivity problems (notably with Sphero 2.0 after updates and occasional disconnects), a wish for more games/features, and some control/design frustrations (inverted controls and a preference for the older UI). Overall, it's enjoyable, but reliability and breadth of features could be improved.

Pros

Ad-free experience
Fun and engaging with versatile drive modes (joystick)
Games include exile II, adding variety
Works well with Sphero Mini

Cons

Connectivity issues with Sphero 2.0 after updates (sometimes requires downgrading APK)
Not enough games/features; desire for more variety
Control/steering issues (inverted controls / tuning)
Design feels too modern; some users prefer the old app design
