Normally, it tries to connect and takes several minutes. I've learned to just leave it on the "need help? Contact us" screen for 3-5 minutes and it eventually connects to the unit. But lately, even after it connects, it will freeze and be unusable. You hear the theme music on the app homescreen, but its frozen and you can't choose Drive, etc. I have uninstalled, reinstalled and it may work a few times then back to frozen. Overall the most glitchy and unreliable app I have ever used.

I enjoyed the app the first few days it worked. Now it won't connect to the robot. I've tried installing it again but now it won't even go past the download additional content. It still connects to the Edu Sphero though. However I bought the BB8 it for the additional content that had the app and its slightly disappointing to have something so expensive, work the first few days and then not at all. I would give it 5 stars if it was still functioning.

The app stops working all the time, its gets stuck on connecting to my BB-8. The app only works every once in a while, ive deleted and re- installed many times to try to get it to work but it still dosent work. I dont have another device to use so Its not like i can just use another device. I just would like these issues to be fixed because it has been going on for months.

Terrible app. Never works. If I could give it ZERO stars I would! I have to keep uninstalling and re-installing the app and even then it doesn't always work. Worst app I've ever come across. Would never recommend it!!

Why isnt the app connecting anymore ? I've done everything the app suggest to sync bb8 back up and still no connection, the app won't even go passes the loading screen at this point. This is the proper droid for the app , you guys need to fix this issue. I would like my bb8 to still work and not get a desk ornament thank you.

If you are having problems with the app, reinstalling won't fix it. As the phone save's all the old files, You have to delete all old files from your phone, e.g app memory files, data, etc. You can do this by holding your finger on the app button if app Installed,options will appear to check the files and you can delete them, this will fix the app and then it act like a new install, start after 10seconds, hope this helps people, thank me on my YouTube channel with the same name!

About this app

Over the years, the experience of Star Wars™ has always lived on screen and in our imaginations. The characters, worlds, and adventures have become an unforgettable part of our lives, and toys have kept that magic in our hearts long after we’ve left the theater. Thanks to advancements in technology, it is now possible to bring a new part of Star Wars: The Force Awakens™ into your home in an incredibly authentic way. For the first time, a real Droid™ is finally making its way into your world.

BB-8 is playful, personable, and true to the Star Wars™ galaxy. His unique traits begin to shine the second he is awakened. Based on your interactions, BB-8 will show a range of expressions and even perk up when you give voice commands. It’s now possible to explore the galaxy with your own trusty Astromech Droid by your side. BB-8 is more than a toy - it’s your companion.

Rather than using the Force, BB-8 is powered by induction charging and connects via Bluetooth© Smart with your Android device. His tough polycarbonate shell keeps him safe from water and the dark side.

Features include:

DRIVE
Slide your finger on the driving pad to guide your Droid. BB-8 will go wherever you point and hold, and he’ll even react to collisions. If you want to see more of his personality, enter the droid commander, choose an icon, and BB-8 will show off a range of expressions.

PATROL
Tap into Patrol to send BB-8 off on his own. His autonomous behavior allows him to move around, get familiar with your space, and investigate the surroundings. Tap the play button to get BB-8 on the move.

DRAW & DRIVE
Draw & Drive lets you trace a route with your finger in the app for BB-8 to follow in real life.

WATCH WITH ME
The Watch With Me feature allows your Droid to watch Star Wars: The Force Awakens and Rogue One: A Star Wars Story with you. Select this option when BB-8 is in his charging base, start the movie, and watch his reactions along with the film.

HOLOGRAPHIC MESSAGING
No Droid is complete without holographic messaging. Now you can make your own thanks to BB-8. Record a video and BB-8 will transform it into a virtual hologram.

This is the Droid you’re looking for.
