User Reviews

Reviews show a pattern of connectivity and stability problems, plus outdated compatibility and missing guidance, which prevent use of the R2-D2 droid despite its appealing concept and features when it runs. The product is praised for its toy-like appeal and potential, but app reliability and maintenance are major barriers.
Pros
  • Engaging control with endless features when the app works.
  • The app feels cool to use.
  • The R2-D2 kit is a highly appealing toy with strong entertainment value.
Cons
  • Frequent connectivity and pairing failures, including Wi-Fi and Bluetooth issues and unreliable local/direct modes.
  • Outdated/unsupported with the latest iOS versions; crashes or won’t open on newer devices.
  • Missing or hard-to-find setup, assembly, and connection instructions in the app.
  • Repeated crashes, shutdowns, and unresponsiveness.
  • App appears neglected or removed and lacks ongoing maintenance or support.

App will not open still on IPhone 14 Pro Max running iOS 26. Crashing start, was hoping update would fix this.

The app hasn’t been updated so the local connect mode will not work. Only direct mode works some times. Since apple will automatically disconnect from any WiFi that is not connected to the internet. Very disappointing after a long difficult build to not be able to use it. Because of a poorly designed app.
