Features & Capabilities

Sphero Edu is the official app for learning to code with Sphero robots. It serves as a hub to create, contribute, and learn with STEAM lessons, and is designed for makers, learners, educators, and parents. Beginners can draw paths for their robot, while intermediate coders use Scratch blocks, and advanced users can write JavaScript or Python. Progress is saved across devices and classrooms, making discovery easy from anywhere.

Key features include multiple programming modes (Draw, Block, Text), real-time sensor data graphs, engaging lessons, a Drive mode for quick brain breaks, and teacher tools to assign lessons and monitor student progress. It also offers classroom integrations with Google and Clever accounts and supports a wide range of Sphero robots for educators and families alike.

User Reviews

Sphero Edu is a solid educational app loved for teaching programming and controlling a variety of robots. Pros include a kid-friendly design, broad robot support, and improvements after firmware updates. Cons focus on stability and connectivity issues, plus feature gaps and reduced legacy hardware support, which affect some users. When it runs smoothly, it offers a rich coding and driving experience, but reliability remains the main concern.

Pros

Educational and kid-friendly, great for teaching programming.
Fun to drive and program across a wide range of Sphero robots.
Broad compatibility with legacy models (BB-8, Ollie) and newer bots, with ongoing firmware improvements.
Connects quickly and reliably after firmware updates (e.g., Bolt+ update fixed glitches).

Cons

Frequent stability issues: app crashes on launch or hangs during loading.
Connectivity and pairing problems requiring reboots or preventing device pairing.
Missing advanced block features and limitations: cannot run two programs at once; lacks certain blocks (e.g., concurrent execution, color/pixel sensor).
Removal or reduced support for legacy hardware/features reduces usability for older robots (Ollie/BB-8).
