Review summary

Blue Dot is a straightforward and responsive app ideal for controlling Raspberry Pi and robotics projects, praised for its simplicity and ease of integration. Multiple users appreciate its open-source nature and minimal coding requirements. However, some common issues include lack of button labeling, occasional unresponsiveness on Android 12 after inactivity, and no dedicated panel to manage numerous connected devices, which can clutter the interface.

Pros

Simple and easy to use interface
Highly effective for controlling Raspberry Pi and robotics projects
Open source and developer is responsive
Requires minimal code to integrate and works well out of the box
Great for both novice and experienced users in programming and robotics

Cons

Lack of ability to label buttons in the interface
Experiences unresponsiveness after inactivity on Android 12 requiring the user to tap to re-activate
No panel to manage preferred devices leading to clutter if many devices detected

Nice and simple app, developer is responsive Its open source too! Would be super nice if it would be on fdroid

Its a button. It works. And it works well.

I'm using the 10-button version to control the rpy controlling my model train locomotive. It would be nice if I could label the buttons.

Awesome app, fun to play with, perfect for RPi!

In the python script be sure to type BlueDot and not Bluedot as i was doing and getting an error!!!

Very useful to control raspberry pis

Brilliantly simple! Been using it to test my autonomous rover drive behavior without the need for complex rc tech.

Very nice. Cold be useful a panel in the app with the preferred device. in my startup screen there are 20+ devices :-) On android 12 if you dont use the app for a while the "dot" became unresponsive . if You touch the "dot" it get back to life after 2/3 seconds

Very good app for controlling a raspberry pi👍
